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!

Yeah, I was about to say...?

[messybench]

I mean, like, as far as murder suspects go? The killer robot who is threatening everyone constantly and calling us "meatbags" is pretty high on my list.

[toesies]

It would be a plot twist if he never killed anyone.

[messybench]

Can't say I'm buying the whole "oohhhhh, I can't hurt anyone, I'm just a poor little robot, pleaseeee sir, can I have some more?"

Okay, I don't know why that turned into Oliver Twist, but you get my point.

[aubins]

Oliver who?

[messybench]

Some like, sad British orphan that's super hungry all the time. Like, we get it, dude, you want some lame soup. Stop crying.

[aubins]

[ this is so specific ]

Is he a robot?

[messybench]

Maybe? I honestly don't remember, it's been forever. The only books I remember now are... [ retching motion ] philosophy.

[toesies]

Totally get it. And I agree wholeheartedly. Why are we acting like being way too into murder is a quirky trait?

[messybench]

... Well.

[ sort of gestures in the vague direction of envy and pride. ]

[toesies]

For the purpose of this argument, they don't count.

[ENVY GOT BETTER, IT'S FINE.]

[messybench]

I mean, why not? This whole thing is kind of a freakshow.

[fatalattraction]

I'm not defending him or anything, but... I kind of feel like he wouldn't hide the fact that he killed somebody if he actually did. I mean...

[ GESTURES TO ALL OF HIM ]

[messybench]

I mean, why wouldn't he? He'd get impaled on a murder bouncy house or whatever if he did confess. Robots can have self-preservation too.
