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!

That's true. Perhaps it started in the tea room - and whoever she was defending against attempted to burn her, but it didn't work well. That could explain why there are smaller scorch marks there.

And then, from the tea room, to the circus... The person could've fled up the rope in an attempt to get away.

[ .... ]

--I'll say it, I wouldn't really be interested in voting for anyone who was running for their life.

[femmefinale]

The rope seems a strange place to choose to flee to... wouldn't that limit options?

[liuli]

I think so, too - but I couldn't walk on a tightrope, myself, so, to me, it sounds suicidal.

[ he looks thoughtful, hand to his chin. ]

If Grell were the pursuer, she likely wouldn't stop chasing the person, no matter which rooms they went to, and there wouldn't be any help to call, right? Plus, there's no discernible exits in this place.

If the other person knew that they could survive if they could get terrain advantage, wouldn't they? If I can get my Iron Armor somewhere where there's space, then I can take advantage of it to win a battle.

Even if there was the tiniest chance of surviving on a tightrope versus surviving on land, would they take it?

[femmefinale]

Explained like that, yes... I imagine anyone would seize a chance of survival, no matter how slim.

[ But what a strange thing to imagine. ]
