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.
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.
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!

no subject
[She slaps him right across the face. No, just kidding, she does not. She just nods at him.
She will just check out. . . anything else that is on the floor.]
no subject
anyway what they find is... a tray of what appears to be the remains of a pizza? it's only the crusts. the rest has been eaten.
there is a note with the tray, and along with it is an abandoned bop-it.]
no subject
[ time to read the note!! the other two can handle the bop-it. ]
no subject
What is this.
no subject
I. . . don't know. Be careful with it. Perhaps, if you're wearing gloves, you ought to try bopping it?
[Eleanor why did you leave us with the bop it. Anyway she's going to look around at the walls and everywhere else and see if there's anything else in here.]
no subject
when gu yun picks up the bop it, it jostles the toy, and they can all hear it excitedly yell:]
BOP IT! [bop-it noises ensue.] PULL IT! [more bop it sound effects.] PULL... IT.... BOP....
[it is suddenly slowing down and making horrible, demonic noises as it entreats them to bop, twist, and pull it in various orders. this is an awful noise. it genuinely sounds possessed.
eleanor will recognize these are the sounds of the batteries dying but to the other two this probably sounds fucking wild.]
no subject
.... C?
[ anyway eleanor will startle when they struggle with the sockem bopper ]
Holy shirt. I forgot how awful and stupid those things were. Woof.
no subject
- Wait, is this what was making noise on Thursday night? [ the realization that it's the same as the curfew noise??? what hte fuck is a bop it. he's holding it like at arm's length in case something jumps out of it and tries to vore him like a toblerone while it dies its horrible death ]
Eleanor. [ what the fuck ]
no subject
What is that?
[Gross! Just tucking that knife back away and picking up the pizza tray instead. Anything stand out about it? Do the bite marks look like. . . a regular person bite mark?]
no subject
[poor dying bop-it. while harrow checks out the tray, the bite marks do look like they're from a person mouth! someone just didn't like their crusts, apparently.]
Was there anywhere else you guys wanted to look? I'm going to be completely real, I would like to not go back in there with Pride right now. Someone mentioned the rooms, I think?
no subject
[ nu voice: bleak. ]
Can't blame you on that one, bud. Uhh... maybe Kaz and Grell's room? Anyway, which "C" is leaving stuff for Lust?
no subject
[ he takes the bop it anyway to take it back for evidence... ] Let's take back what we can - and I agree, let's check their rooms. Harrow?
no subject
[She'll take the pizza tray, even though her nose wrinkles at it a lot.]
no subject
[envy leads them to room 7, and lets them in! they are now free to investigate aoi and kaz's room. at a quick glance they will not spot anything amiss.]
no subject
Kidding! Kidding. But I am wondering what the hell this sockem bop'em and a note from Childe are doing at a crime scene.
[ eleanor will check out the living room and the kitchen and common areas ]
no subject
[ he doesn't want to know. he's gonna go check the loft bedroom area, while eleanor's doing that, checking around the bed, under it, and under the covers! and then maybe in the closet up there, poking around in the costumes.
i bet we walked by a ton of blood. or chocolate. ]
no subject
. . . Look for a camera. Aoi said she, Misa, and Kaz Kaan were taking pictures.
no subject
[envy helpfully adds this as they go to investigate!
the living room, kitchen, and common areas seem to be okay when eleanor just checks them out.
up in the loft bedroom, things are fine around and under the bed (though there may be a couple red drops on the carpet.) when gu yun checks under the covers of the loft bed, though-- haha, you mentioned blood? the bed is neatly made, but the sheets are all bloody!
harrow will find the lower floor bedroom also appears to be fine.]
no subject
[ eleanor will look inside the desk and underneath it.. underneath the table, in all the drawers, around the area, etc. ]
[ please inform them of kaz's period crime scene ]
no subject
[ what kind of sociopath makes the bed with bloody sheets? hello. does the blood have any discernible pattern? is it just all over the place, or concentrated to one area/two areas/etc? any on the pillowcases or is it just the sheets?
is there anything under the mattress? he'll look there, too, and between the fitted sheet and the mattress itself, feeling around for any weird lumps as carefully as possible. ]
no subject
She will keep an eye out on her way for a camera? Is there a camera left out anywhere?]
Blood. . . was he killed in here? And then the killer made the bed?
no subject
there's not really a discernible pattern of blood, no. it's more like blood splatter than anything. a mess was made here, and yes, the pillow has some splatter on it too. he can feel around under the mattress and beneath the sheet, but he does not come up with anything!
harrow finds nothing in the bathroom! there is no camera along the way.
also for clarity, sisi's list of locations to check stopped at the bed with the blood, for your reference on what has and has not been looked at.]
no subject
[ eleanor will come up to help with the check! ]
Yeesh. So, I'm guessing this is Kaz's bed...?
no subject
[ aight movin on. let's check... the nightstand! i'm trying to leave stuff for everyone to look at, ]
no subject
[I can't tell if Gu Yun already checked under the bed before blood, but she will check under it. And then she will check the closets. Digging through them thoroughly, but also noting if the belongings in here look like they were Kaz's, rather than Aoi's. And still looking for that dumb camera.]
