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!

Who here do you believe is brutal enough to bash a man's brains in, then?

[holeful]

I worry that me accusing anyone else is just going to cause more problems....

[shiftingwinds]

If you want to help, answer the question.

[holeful]

[He shakes his head.]

It doesn't fit with the other evidence we have...

[headmt]

Your hands fit the gloves. And the bloody prints on the shovel. I don't think you're strong enough to have hit Steven until he was down, but he was choked first, right?

[housewolf]

If we're doing that, my prints fit too.

[holeful]

Me? I wouldn't have killed Steven. All I want to do is help people.

[callmemeg]

If you really wanted to help people, would you really have spent so much time insisting that it could have been Ming Yi when everyone else wanted to move on?

[holeful]

I stopped arguing that hours ago, though....

[shiftingwinds]

You're wasting time. [she smacks her fan into the palm of her hand, hard.] Just answer already!

[holeful]

[He is feeling so cornered right now!!!]

Well, I think Mr Douman would be capable of doing something like that, and I think he was close to Steven. But his feet are too big for Ming Yi's boots.

[shiftingwinds]

[she narrows her eyes at him]

Is that so? When did you start thinking that - around when they pulled you away from Medb?

[holeful]

That's why I didn't want to say....

[shiftingwinds]

Is that when you started thinking that?

[holeful]

No. It isn't. But it doesn't really matter at this point.

[shiftingwinds]

...I suppose it doesn't.
