WEEK 3 TRIAL

[probe]

POPULATION: 25

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.

goood morning! come join us in the conference room when you're ready!

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, Lust, Pride, Envy and Gluttony patiently wait as the TV above them displays a message.

Victims: Omi Fushimi, Ashiya Douman

Once the last participant enters the room, the door will swing closed behind them and lock them inside.

Lust is at the table and seems to be finishing a topcoat on their nails. Pride is looking down at their claws, sprawled in their chair. Envy is slumped forward on the table... but don't worry, he's not dead this time, he just has his head pillowed on his folded arms. Gluttony is sitting up straight, hands laced together and waiting.

The rest of the Avatars all look at Pride after a moment of silence, and then, vaguely annoyed, Pride says:

What? They know they have nine hours by this point. Don't look at me.

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Hello, and welcome to fourth 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!

[ It definitely was personal, which he doesn’t think is helpful to the investigation. ]

Yeah, sorry. Usually, I’m pretty composed.

[probe]

[they are just on the floor right there. it smells like blood, yea! YAY! also, correction: the blood is not streaky, it's splattered, sorry. but there are streaks by the legs of the chair. the chair itself is covered in the same blood splatter. wow much blood.

grace nyooms for--a telescope! it's a big, standing one, but it isn't standing anymore. it's leaned against the wall.]

[aubins]

[ looks tiredly into the distance. ]

[maelstroms]

[ He gives her a more significant glance, before humming and looking away. ]

It can be. And there's probably more to it that we don't understand, without knowing more of what they went through.

[probe]

... okay.

[he nods, at that! he's here for it.]

[enfangs]

You don't need to apologize or anything! Geez. Anyway, it's probably not important right now, right?

[sengokus]

[he just grumbles]

We need more evidence before we confirm anything and I don't want to assume that the two murders are related but...

What a freaky coincidence if it is, right?

[bonetiddies]

[Whoa. She's just going to grab Yuel by the arm.]

Yuel, is this helping?

[liuli]

[ DOUMAN? YOUR EYES? ]

Even just for a bandaging? That's odd.

[headmt]

[alright fine. shoving envy lightly and then backing up.]

You're fine. Wrestle Gluttony for Frumpkin and eat a donut or something.

[fergalicious]

Are you suggesting you're going to win against me?

[probe]

I doubt that but I'll take it?

[fluffier]

We were? I woulda figured they just picked 'em because they seemed easy.

[enfangs]

...

Damn, I hate that I can't dismiss that.

[maelstroms]

That would explain a lot, actually. [ He's like, used to interacting with people Like That. ] Even without knowing exactly what they went through.

[probe]

[LUST IS

just grabbing pride's hand uwu]

You're gonna ruin your manicure if you kill her.

[and also DON'T KILL PEOPLE.]

[fluffier]

[ gives him a pat on the shoulder ]

Don't worry, Ennie... you'll figure it out.

[ but like, later. not when we're trying to solve murders ]

[alteracion]

[ grace is BEING GOOD, damn, she can't sneak a telescope in her fucking clothes. she'll first look to see if there's any blood on any part she can see before picking it up and turning it over to examine it. she is wearing gloves. she'll also look at the glass bits? like. through. the telescope.

she's buff she can hold the big telescope maybe and if not she is just turning it over without holding it, i have no sense of scale. ]

[probe]

[he laughs quietly as he's shoved. at least this seems to have helped his mood.]

Absolutely not, I can't wrestle literally anyone. Donut's not a bad idea though.

Now go do stuff, okay?

[probe]

[there's a waveback! good morning!]

[fluffier]

I bet yer son is tryin' to figure all that out at his age too, huh?

[ though ig gu yun also has room for love ]

[sengokus]

[sdlkfjsdlfkjsdlkjfskjldf HE JUST COVERS HIS FACE]

Why do you just assume I have something to figure out?!

[BECAUSE HE'S OBVIOUS??????

ANYWAY - ]

Whatever! Let's focus! I'm just saying it's weird that the two of them both died this week and shit seemed complicated, but it's just conjecture until we tie stuff together!

[shiftingwinds]

Right...

[she looks away, too]

[probe]

Good morning, Miss Shi Qingxuan.

[a nod of their head.]
