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!

You "didn't" want to believe it? Back at the beginning of trial, or now?

Both?

You're the only person who has been consistently pushing that this entire time, when the rest of us felt it out of the realm of possibility.

I don't think that you believe he did it at all. Actually - I think it's sort of what you might want us to believe, instead.

Say, if someone were to use a power drill on someone's head, would it cause a hole like yours?

It would. That's what I used to make it. Why?

Right. That would be an obvious way of killing someone - we'd make a connection to you immediately.

Why not bash someone's head in afterwards, so there's no evidence of doing it?

That's not what I do. I only drill holes to help people.

[as he's picking out cactus needles from his fucking hand]

... Liar.

[Mineo?]

He's lying?

[ . . . . he scowls.]

.... I don't know about this case! I don't! And I don't believe in condemning people because they're convenient, and I don't believe in punishing people for what they've done back home if they're innocent here!

[he feels like he has to say it because he doesn't know what to believe here anymore]

But I know that Fukuda-san's on my shit list for dishonesty and fucking drilling holes into people and saying it's for their own good.
