7rings | 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.

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!

[ shit would yuri know croissant? he does now. ]

I mean. It is bread, so technically they're not wrong.

Yeah. But you'd think they would know how to write the same of a common pastry.

I mean.... we're all from different worlds. Maybe it's called something else in other places?

...

If we assume Luca was writing it because it's in chalk, didn't he speak a different language as his birth language? [ he's... talked about it and talked in it in trial, hasn't he? ]

Italian, English, French, Spanish, Russian, and Latin.

[ what the fuck are any of those. ]

... Would any of those know what croissant is?

I think so, yes.

Alright then, so Vlad can't spell.

I'll believe it.

[ nods. ] I would too.

... Croissant is a French word, right?

[ a nod! ]

Wait. Why are we assuming it's Luca's handwriting?

I think it's more likely Vlad's, since he had some kind of pastry in his mouth.

Yeah... Though I still think we should make everyone spell croissant. It's just so weird that he would realize he was awake when everyone else wasn't, and decide to eat croissants.

I think we could look at what was found in his mouth, in case it's meant to be a hint.

... We could. But if anyone tries to lick whatever we dig out, I think I might vomit on them.

[ he makes a face ]

Let's... try to avoid any more weird food shit.

Because he had the chalk, but it's just assuming based off what I know. [ sheila do you think they wrote stuff together? non. ]

If it's Vlad, then we just strike that from the records and focus on that.

And there's no chance someone just put the chalk in his hand later?

Luca? No he uh... had the chalk on Thursday. And I found it in his pockets when I checked his body. Whoever used it whenever in the killing is a complete guess, but it was his chalk.

[... she squints.]

Would Luca lend Vlad his chalk so he could fail to write croissant?

[ he shrugs. ]

If he was dead, would Vlad need to ask?

So we think Vlad found his corpse, stole his chalk to fail to write croissant, and then got killed himself? Is that where we're taking this?

Could be that bread is shorter, but I personally would have committed if I already started miswriting croissant.

Right? I guess it's possible they couldn't remember how the rest of the word goes, and gave up.
