7rings | WEEK 1 TRIAL

POPULATION: 33

Rise and shine, little sinners. Did you rest well? Hope you weren't too perturbed by the events of the day before. Things seem to be perfectly normal throughout your morning, but at 12pm, everyone will receive a mass text message to their phone.

good evening, good morning and hello! please come join us in the conference room!

Whether you agree or disagree, soon you will find yourself physically moving toward the conference room on the bottom floor, filing into the room and taking a seat in one of the vacant chairs. Two metal boxes sit at the end of each table along with a collection of pens and colored notecards. At the head of the room, Lust, Pride, Envy and Gluttony patiently wait as the TV above them displays a message.

Victims: Kaz Kaan, Grell Sutcliff

Once the last participant enters the room, the door will swing closed behind them and lock them inside.

For a moment, everything looks completely normal, until you notice Envy slumped face-down on the table, bleeding out from a stab wound in the front. Lust is busy putting a pink fluffy towel under their head, Pride is sitting slouched in a chair twirling a knife, and in that moment Gluttony claps their hands together to get everyone's attention.

"If you would please get started. You all have nine fleeting hours to find out what happened, and place your votes."

Hello, and welcome to your second trial! Over the course of the next nine hours, characters will have the opportunity to discuss, investigate and theorize about the events of the day before! While mini-investigations were held yesterday, today is the day characters will have time to examine the body of the victim and explore relevant locations.

There will be a mod-tag break between 4pm EST/1pm PST to 5pm EST/2pm PST. While the trial may continue and players can tag each other, mod-led threads such as questions and investigations will be on hold.

Finally, while voting is not mandatory, we do have a voting page should characters wish to vote! Please be sure that your vote is in by the time trial finishes (9pm EST/6pm PST) if you wish to vote.

Good luck, and have fun!

[Takes it from White and throws it away.]

Hey! That's a waste of food!

Stop focusing on cookies. Solve the trial.

I'm making an effort!

[whoa]

H-Harrow-san...? Come on, he's trying...

Don't pay it any mind.

[wh]

Is it about the cookies...? Or White-kun...?

It's nothing to do with him. Probably? I also get the urge to hit him whenever he opens his mouth, so who knows?

[the cookies....]

I guess... Well, he's doing his best - as much as anybody else here.

[he's gotta defend white at least a little, but he won't linger on it]

I'm thinking we should probably also ask about those rewards again, eventually, before we forget.

Right. Although there's no way of telling if they've been used or not if the effect isn't still in place.

[ . . . . he tilts his head]

Do we know if we all got different ones?

We could have. When I asked about them, it seemed like there was probably a large variety, but we'd have to double check.

They're overly sweet, and it's vile.

.... do you not like sweets...?

[HE DOESN'T GET IT BUT]

Okay, okay - but can we lay off him a little? I think he's trying. At least if we've covered that Sutcliffe-san was nicer this week, it might be why she got attacked. Do we know what Kaan-san lost...?

His sense of style. He made a huge deal about it.

[a beat]

So he probably just got targeted for other reasons.

[for being

an easy target

he's too nice to say it]

For being an easy target, yeah.

[ grace has said it before. she's fine saying it. ]

[ . . . . ]

Could it be the same person who attacked Suoh-san? It's too early to guess but...

If the two of them were both the same kind of... Unsuspecting, untrained....

[ okay, sharing is bad for grace's greed cred. but she's going to go in her little side pouch and she splits a candy bar for white and mineo ]

I think they might have a thing with food since Thursday.

[ considering. who are the ones doing it ]

[he opens his mouth - but he pauses, thinking about it. takeru didn't slap the food out of his hand which is probably why he didn't attribute it to the group so....]

.... got it.

[he'll wave his hand though]

I don't need food yet, Grace-san. Thanks, though.

[HE REALLY TOOK VIRA'S WORDS TO HEART]

[ waves him off back!!! ]

Keep it for later. We're here all day.

[ it's terrible. ]

[he hesitates a beat, before he nods]

Alright, thanks.

[he will forget to eat later]

[ that's fine she's only mom friend adjacent HER JOB IS DONE ]

[thanks grace u_u]

... Oh.

[ well, she's just guessing, so she shrugs, but yes. have your candy bar you're doing amazing sweetie "he's eating shit in another thread" amazing ]
