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!

[ . . . tilts head.]

But... if it's bloody - would it have been used for Starphase-san's murder? Since the incisions for Vlad-san and Luca-san are more like scalpels.

We originally thought Vlad-san might've taken it, right?

[ closes eyes ]

It could be used to bludgeon someone to death and take out part of their skull, with enough force.

[closes eye]

... yeah. I mean, I just don't know why it'd be used in the other murders....

But that means Vlad-san probably didn't take it? But someone still wanted to frame you, Ming Yi-san...? Did you make plans to spend curfew with anybody else, or did someone check every floor for your stuff specifically?

Gu Yun and I were theorizing that it might be used on Luca, but if the slice through his throat isn't a match for it and is instead closer to the scalpels, and the crescent doesn't match what killed Vlad, that leaves us with Steven.

[ And that would be... efficient, to say the least. ]

I've been staying with Qingxuan the past three weeks. I don't talk to anyone prior to curfew about it, either. So they either sought me out, or were in the biome with us.

... can I borrow the shovel to check? I mean, now that we have it, might as well be thorough. Or you can do it yourself, Ming Yi-san.

[but he's just going to tilt his head]

Huh...

I think Mollymauk has it at the moment, but feel free. Considering that it's so closely related to me, it would be better to have unbiased hands double checking that evidence, to eliminate any suspicion that I might tamper with it.

[ A slow blink. Lord have mercy. ]

What?

... Have we checked the shovel against the throat wounds?

We just got it back, so not yet.

Not yet. If Mineo would like to do it - or anyone, frankly - then by all means.
