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!

He did.

[ oh! good. thanks vlad. ]

Was it just the two of you?

No. ...Grell was with us as well.

[ . . .

mm whatcha say.mp3 ]

...Well, that answers my next question.

Which was?

[ was it an obvious question or a more analytical one ]

Oh, if Grell went or not. [ he waves his hand. ] She had a power to use, too.

I'm not suspicious of you or anything. ...Though, I'm not sure if you're lucky or unlucky, after that. Perhaps both.

What do you find lucky about this, exactly?

That you're not dead? [ HELLO??? ]

What power did you get, by the by?

Ah, was he with you, Vlad-san?

Then he had the same power I did - to stop someone for one hour. I don't know if we would've thought to use it, but it's better to know what he had at his disposal.

Did Sutcliffe-san go too?

...She did. It was the three of us on that boat.

[ . . . he just frowns]

You've got really bad luck, dude.

I don't think this makes you suspicious in any way yet for the record - just kinda sucks.

...Thank you. I appreciate your sympathy.

[he can acknowledge when stuff isn't a good look]

What's your power by the way? For Pride.

[ well.......he opens his mouth to answer, but then gu yun beats him to it, so he just. points to him. ]

[he nods]

Thanks.

In the future, you can still answer - it'd be better to have multiple confirmations just in case.

[one of you is a LIAR]

[pointing at Vlad rudely]

Query: Does this mean we are to send him into the execution playground for a protracted and bloody death, then?

Dude.

No.

Why, are you volunteering to take his place?

Response: It depends on whether or not I am allowed to act freely in such a situation. I would certainly welcome more opportunities for competitive violence.
