WEEK 1 TRIAL

[probe]

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!

But still...killing someone with just a damn big bar of chocolate? Really? That's his choice for a weapon?

[BLOOD? TOBLERONE MOUNTAIN?]

[Well, there sure is a lot to focus on, here! Douman jumps a little at the collapsing mountain, but...hey, those two toblerones...]

[Sticking the toblerones they picked up under an arm, they are going to carefully step through the toblerones to peer down at them.]

[housewolf]

I dunno what was goin' through that guy's head.

[Is there any other blood? If he moves some toblerones aside, will he see more? Is there any blood on this toblerone he picked up?]

People have died to baseball bats. Long as it's heavy enough and you put enough force behind it, it works for a weapon.

[chevaleros]

Yes, he seemed—eccentric.

[ her mind didn't jump to bludgeoning tool at first, but...

anyway, for now she moves over to the two toblerones too. what sort of damage have they taken, and how are they arranged? ]

[probe]

[there isn't a whole lot of blood on the floor when omi moves more of the toblerones out of the way. it's more like dry, sliding specks of it. there's none on the one he picks up. the direction of the blood looks like it moves away from the door beneath all of the fallen toblerones everywhere.

the two toblerones stuck in the mountain pile have slightly misshaped triangle packaging, and....... they're bloody! they're just vibing, stuck down in the mess of toblerones.]

[commedia]

...

[Yeah, Douman is just going to reach out with nasty clown hands and just YANK one of the bloody toblerones out of the pile]

[housewolf]

... Guess that's where all the blood goes towards. Like it's moving away from the door and towards this pile of chocolate.

[chevaleros]

...We ought to be delicate with a crime scene.

[ but yeah is there anything under the mountain since it's probably going to shift with that. ]

[probe]

[douman yanks out one of the toblerones, and yeah, the little like ankle-high mountain of toblerones goes scattering away, and the second damaged one goes with it.

the one douman picks out is dented and busted, and covered in bloody patches.

nothing is under mt. toblerones except for more dry, streaky specks of blood that continue on in the direction of the far side of the room where nothing else is except even more toblerones laying haphazardly about.]

[commedia]

Ohhhh! Well, well. [And Douman just gives the blood toblerone a little swing?] Seems like we found a weapon of sorts.

[Don't sound so pleased!!!]

But strange. These streaks...someone was dragged, hm?

[housewolf]

[Omi will simply skip over how pleased Douman sounds about the possible weapon.]

Please don't hit anyone with it.

[Now he'll take a look at the second damaged toblerone.]

[chevaleros]

[ she's moving out of swinging radius. ]

Please don't damage a potential murder weapon.

[ she'll take a look around the rest of the kitchen too. anything that seems askew or off? anything on the CEILING ]

[probe]

[gomen, i had to order dinner for the break and was left on hold for too long.

the second toblerone is as beat up as the first one, and there is also blood on it, too. wow. double toblerones all the way across the sky.

nothing is on the ceiling except for a shadowy portal with a black cat head peeking through at them. ceiling cat. say hi to judas.

the rest of the kitchen is fine, aside from the terrible mess of the toblerones and the streaks which do end on the farthest side of the kitchen.]

[commedia]

I won't. [And- oh, they have a guest. Douman waggles the bloody toblerone at the cat, grinning.] Hello, Judas.

[Anyways, time to make it to the farthest end of the kitchen, then! Do the streaks end at the wall, or do they just stop?]

[housewolf]

[How much blood is on this big toblerone?

He'll go towards the door, and check that.]

[chevaleros]

[ hello, judas.

she's going to go check some of the other appliances then—anything in the fridge? ]

[probe]

[the streaks end at the wall, yes. there's a bit more blood here, but not a pool of it or anything. it's a messy collection pile. it doesn't move anywhere else other than that one direction back toward the exit.

the big toblerone has quite a bit of blood on it! it isn't soaked, but it's covered more on one end where the packaging is damaged and bent.

the appliances are all fine and in place. there isn't anything unusual in the fridge, and it isn't damaged.]
