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!

[fukuda's feet are very similar in size to these footprints. they seem to be coming from the elevator and lead into the kitchen, to the sink.

the kitchen seems fine at first glance, but there's the smell of burnt plastic that's very strong.]

[holeful]

[OH NO... stinky kitchen. Fukuda is going to check out the sink first. Did someone try to wash something off in there?? Are there traces of anything.]

I wonder if these footprints were made with Ming Yi's boots.

[housewolf]

Could be. Seems about the right size for either one of us.

[He's going to go look for where the burned plastic smell is coming from. Oven? Microwave? Somewhere else?]

[probe]

[seems like it! there's blood splatters in the sink. they're half washed away, like someone did a poor job of cleaning up after themselves.

the plastic smell seems to be coming from the trash.]

[holeful]

[Is there anything else on the counter? Or around it?]

I think maybe someone had blood on their hands that they tried to wash off, too? It all seems pretty sloppy... Just like leaving all these bloody footprints around and leaving the blood on the boots.

[housewolf]

[He is simply going to check in on the trash.

What horrible melted plastic monstrosity is in here?]

So their method of murder was a messy one.

[probe]

[the bloody footprints are coming from the elevator into the kitchen, and don't go towards the music room. i'm leaving this even though you edited yolo.

nothing else around the counter, just the blood splatters! how far down does omi dig into the trash?]

[holeful]

I wonder if they were just sloppy or if they were intentionally leaving evidence in their attempt to frame Ming Yi?

[While Omi does that, Fukuda is just going to give the rest of the kitchen another closer look over, just to see if there's anything else suspicious.]

[housewolf]

I don't think Ming Yi would be this terrible at covering up a murder.

[Sighs deeply.

He's going to go to the bottom of the trash can, sorry about this.]

[probe]

[doesn't seem to be anything else in the kitchen itself.

but, there are some half-melted, burnt plastic gloves in the trash. that seems to be the source of the smell!]

[holeful]

[Wandering over.]

I don't think there's anything else in here. What did you find?

[housewolf]

Half melted and burnt plastic gloves.

Could you get some of the normal ones from here?

I want to see if they're the same once we get back.

[probe]

Try not to step on the bloody footprints on your way out, boys.

[wrath says, leaning against the wall.]
