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!

Yes. We have them in my time, and I'm from the 1880s. Though they don't look anything like that, that's particularly horrifying to look at considering it's supposed to be a medical device.

A... medical device.

Yes.

[He's not going into details.]

It's probably not relevant here, so if you have questions I can answer to the best of my ability later.

Yeah, the chainsaw she uses doesn’t fit the era she’s supposedly from.

It might be heavily modified which would make her some engineering genius.

It makes me wonder why she would carry around a heavily-modified chainsaw, of all things.

[ Thinking. ]

... I feel like it’s symbolic considering the time she’s from. Chainsaw as a weapon is a very specific choice, not exactly trendy either, but!

I’m not sure how helpful it is to know the backstory of Madame’s First VRRRRR.

Fair enough. The 'why' probably isn't the important part, so much as 'she had it'.

Hers runs on a fuel though, yes?

If they found a fuel tank on the chainsaw, I guess it does!

I am wondering now how much supernatural or high sci-fi items from home are watered down since Sheila said it’s meant to be her scythe.

If it originally had fuel in it, do you think that could have been used to make the fire?

It’s a possibility, especially if it’s empty now. It lines up if we want to consider what we saw in the Planetarium during and after curfew being relevant. Fireworks, glitter, confetti.

Liquid fuels are combustible, too.
