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!

Maybe she turned it on after noticing something was up, but didn't get to use it? Like, someone got the jump on her.

... The body report mentioned she might've been attacked from behind. It's speculation but...

[ he shrugs. ]

I imagine this is a pretty clunky weapon to be using anyway.

[She nods.]

You have to lift it up first, and it's probably heavy...

So if someone was attacking you from behind, you'd be at a disadvantage trying to counterattack. At least, that's what it sounds like.

Right! Especially if it's like Fukuda says. Fuck up your spine, and you won't be doing a lot of heavy lifting.

... I mean if her spine was wrecked, she might not have been doing much of anything, let alone lifting a chainsaw.

I know. But if the chainsaw was warm, she may have at least gotten the change to rev it up.

Would that still work if there was no fuel inside?

Was there no fuel inside?

That’s what Yuel says.

...

Alright, then why is it warm? Was anything in the den weirdly warm...?

Not in the den, no.

... So either it was near or on something warm or... I really don't know. Weirdly, how is it still warm if there's no sign of fire nearby?

I don't know. It's not my chainsaw, but— electric chainsaws exist, too.

She called it her "death scythe", if that means anything to anyone.

I asked her how it worked last week, and she wouldn't tell me. [ tch. . . ]

She was really committed to her aesthetic, huh.

[EDGELORD...]

Certainly.

[ vroom... ] It was working, though. She used it to attempt to destroy something in the holding room.

You saw this?

Um...

I think we're forgetting to mention that it's not an ordinary chainsaw, either! It's a Death Scythe.

Isn't that just an edgy name she gave to her chainsaw?

No, it's special. I got distracted when people were talking about it like a regular chainsaw, but she used it for her job.

She's a shinigami—a death god.

[oh mood]

... Huh. I did not know that.

[ team misamisa and zixi! ]

Mn. I didn't learn what that meant, precisely. She was very proud of it, though - said that she had it 'modified' to be a chainsaw.

Team ghost detectives!
