WEEK 2 TRIAL

[probe]

POPULATION: 28

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.

Proceed to 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, Greed, Wrath, Despair and Sloth patiently wait as the TV above them displays a message.

Victims: Vlad Masters, Steven A Starphase, Luca Valentino

Once the last participant enters the room, the door will swing closed behind them and lock them inside.

Greed is seated at the end of the table with a series of papers in their hands. Wrath is sitting sideways in a chair, leaning against Despair, feet in Greed's lap, with their phone out, taking selfies. Despair seems to be holding still to allow this. Sloth is dead asleep, head down on the table and snoring. When some of the last few people enter, they startle awake suddenly with a yelp which gets everyone's attention.

"Ahh, I'm up! Wow, it's time already?! You guys have 9 long hours to figure everything out!"

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Hello, and welcome to your third 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'm not saying I think it was him. I'm just saying we should keep all possibilities on the table.

So instead of, I don't know, wiping his damned boots off in the bathroom and bringing his shovel back with him to the garden after he was done committing his crimes, he chose instead to leave it somewhere for us to discover as a fun surprise later in the day, and brought his boots with him to trial as a little hint that perhaps we should suspect him at all?

[holeful]

Miss Qingxuan said she couldn't remove the blood. And you'd assuming we're going to find the shovel. It wouldn't be the first time we failed to find something important.

[headmt]

He couldn't remove it on Friday. No one could have likely stopped him Thursday night. He also never had to tell us about the blood at fucking all!

And he also did not have to tell us about the shovel. He told us about the shovel.

I mean, framing yourself is a pretty solid plan, especially after the last two weeks. But in this case? I doubt it. Mr. Unpopular Opinion over there kinda seems like he just gets off to getting everyone mad at him, though.

[headmt]

I would say that it probably is, but-- [Well. Looking over at Shi Qingxuan.] I'll tell you I believe her. And I believe he wouldn't use her as a pawn in some scheme like that.

[messybench]

I'm with you on that one, bud.
