WEEK 2 TRIAL
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.
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.
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!
no subject
gojou should be careful where he steps because there are really quite a large number of tiny cacti. there's also a mess of music sheets, some furniture, and also a dented tuba laying in the center of the room. walking past that, they may notice there's also several soggy croissants on the ground, along with an abandoned, now empty cup of coffee.
as white's examining the cacti, he will notice that they are real cacti so be careful! several of these little plants have been trampled upon, squished in some places and completely flattened in others. a particularly large group of them seems to be flattened just a bit away from where white and gojou are. oh, and some of the cacti appear to have blood on them. fun!]
no subject
I think this is the normal music? I don't come in here often. [ If he follows the drips and splashes, is there a possible origin for them? ]
no subject
[he'll pick up the cacti with blood on them, before heading to the large flattened area. any decipherable shape/size of the area? does it look like someone might've fallen on these poor cacti.]
no subject
[ Gojou takes in the general view to see the path of these squished and bloody cacti up to that spot next to them... Then he heads to the center of the room to take a closer look at the dented tuba! How is it looking up close? Is there anything inside, is this a jumpscare— ]
no subject
while white is checking out the cacti and as he and gojou move toward the center of the room, he will find that there are two larger spots of blood! wow! look at all this cacti that has blood around it! as for the flattened spot there really isn't much of a shape or size, though it's somewhat wide and closer to one of the spots of blood. oh, and speaking of, it appears there's something on the ground amongst the cacti here.
gojou can look at the dented tuba. it looks pretty dented, like it took a hard hit against something. as much as i would love to scare the shit out of gojou, it is but an innocent tuba.]
no subject
He's heading over to the nearest one and going to use a nearby woodwind or something to poke at it, try to lift it up. ]
no subject
anything different about the cacti with blood around it? also, he's going to check out that something on the ground, thank you.]
no subject
Gojou examines the tuba more to see if he can make out the dent's shape to maybe narrow down what kind of surface/object it might have clashed into before copying Ming Yi in taking a photo. Also, if he turns it around, looks some more, is there a handprint on this shiny instrument?
he'll move onto the soggy croissants next, if not. ]
no subject
with the blood spots, they're larger than his hand by a bit, actually! there isn't much of a shape beyond "larger" though, but as he's looking he will notice that one of the spots seems to be sprayed above the cacti themselves, resting on the plants, and the other spot is covered by the cacti. on the ground he will find one piece of chalk, and a message that reads: my
crabread.the dent of the tuba is a little hard to describe in terms of shape, and unfortunately there is no handprint! booo. the soggy croissants sure are soggy, and also your mod's an idiot and forgot to mention there's definitely a plate nearby as well. i'm sorry. anyway, there's an aroma of coffee wafting up from these croissants, which probably isn't surprising since there's a bit of coffee on the floor nearby and dripping out of the cup, too.]
no subject
Someone's clothes were shredded in here.
no subject
What the fuck? What the fuck does this mean?
[but he'll snap a photo of the blood spots and then of the message, before picking up the chalk.
then, he'll take a look at the music sheets and furniture. are they just generically lying around near this tuba? any theme behind the music?]
no subject
What does what mean, Whiiiiite?
[ Gojou checks out the plate! Also, are there more cacti around here past the center of the room? Is there less? Are they mostly untouched cacti? ]
no subject
everything's sort of generically lying around, as if thrown about in a scuffle basically. there's no theme to anything and it's kind of a haphazard mess more than a pattern of any sort.
and gojou has a plate! amazing. there's probably a little light grease smearing as if the croissants were on the plate initially. there are so many fucking cacti i cannot express to you that you are all walking around a carpet of tiny cacti. so many of them are trampled. some of them survived the cacti war. think fondly of them.]
no subject
no subject
Some weirdass message about bread, though there's a crossed out "cra" too...
[white's going to check to see if there's anything noteworthy about the dj station! if not, then the platform area?]
no subject
Huh... Crossed out. [ Gojou is just holding onto the plate idly as he takes that in. ] Was the handwriting the same throughout?
[ Okay, now he checks the plate for any fingerprints/handprints, then also the coffee cup, too. Are these mostly clean, too? no blood or cacti bits on them. ]
no subject
no subject
Unless the two of you can think of anything else, perhaps it's time to head back with what we've found.
no subject
[I DON'T TRUST AT A GLANCE EVEN THOUGH I KNOW IT COULD MEAN NOTHING AND WE'RE DONE
so he'll just fiddle with the dj table and lights and whatnot to make sure]
no subject
Scritch skrr skrr.
[ will the dj table do anything?! ]
no subject
no subject
Are we done?
no subject
[yea we're done]
no subject
[ Clap clap. He will try to be the cheerful one here. Anyway, Greed please take them away. ]
