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!

...I don't know. I know that - whatever it was that put us to sleep, we couldn't stop it, but...

[she can't help but feel a little guilty for not waking up.]

[toyska]

It is a little disturbing, how deeply we're made to sleep.

[LAST WEEK'S SIM ROOM...]

[shiftingwinds]

More than a little, I'd say.

[she sighs]

[toyska]

[Patting her on the shoulder again, since apparently this is just how he comforts her]

[shiftingwinds]

[she smiles faintly at that. thanks childe.]

[maelstroms]

I imagine many of us aren't used to being heavy sleepers. [ There's obviously so many people here used to having to survive. ] Even someone entering a room would wake many of us up, I wager. And yet...

[toyska]

Yes. [A sigh.] We tried to take precautions in the medical bay, but given how this place seems to adjust in favor of an active killer...

[It was worth trying, but it was probably a waste of time.]

[maelstroms]

Ideally the attempts would dissuade anyone trying to come in, but idealism doesn't do us much good in these situations.

[ The odds are stacked against them. ] I tried to get us to settle somewhere where we could see, but wouldn't be seen. Not sure how much good it did.
