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!

It is possible to give an explanation in longer sentences. Just so you're aware.

[We have no choice but to stan.]

Hm, I was trying to decide if it was fair to share something she told me in private...
[So he was just stalling, apparently.]

Anyway. She told me that she's Jack the Ripper, so her target would have had to be a prostitute or a woman of otherwise "ill repute" so to speak.

[...............]

Yikes?

Haha. It is strange to think we had a notorious serial killer in our midst, isn't it?

[He seems not terribly concerned.]

Strange is not what I would call it, no... But good to know I don't have to feel sorry for her hate crime committing ass, thanks!

What the fuck.

Have you not heard of Jack the Ripper, miss Grace?

Why are so many people here serial killers?

[ the irony is important to me ]

Oh, my.

[She doesn't know what Jack the Ripper is, but. Yikes.]

Huh. Well. Nice to have the confirmation that I'm right to not feel bad about this death.

But alright, we'll keep that in mind.

Amen.

[closes eyes so intensely but doesn't disagree]

Yeah, it explains a lot.

[ +1 ]

The historical Jack the Ripper?

Hmm. Interesting.

Aah. It was actually her and her partner, a miss Ann. It's rather interesting in light of all the theories that have arisen over the years.

Indeed. I'd love to be able to pick her brain about it, separate historical fact from fiction. Such a shame.

So ya mean... A lady that had a lot of lovers?

[ But women are perfect and can do whatever they want? ]

Mm. I didn't ask her logic behind it, unfortunately.

[Fukuda also thinks women can do whatever they want.]

[mumbles:]

Is that why she asked me if I had a lover here...?

[yikes. scary question in retrospect!]

Ya think she was lookin' for victims?

God, what a forking double standard! Men can sleep with whomever they want, but a women shows a little ankle or get busy with a couple of people, and it's all, wow, you slut, time to die!

Not exactly. A prostitute is someone who takes payment for sex. Also, while most prostitutes are female, there are male prostitutes as well.

[Hello, from roughly the same time period as Grell and understands the nuance a bit more.]
