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!

Perhaps the best thing to do is to assume they aren't related and as we find more, see if they connect in any way.

[mukagen]

[ sometimes you can’t control how your inventory is used?? ]

It wasn’t intended to be dramatic. I really don’t know how it ended up like that.

[ Laughs at triple indulgence extreme ]

You would have gotten stabbed if you did! Not like you needed another hole. I’d prefer you a little more alive, too.

[probe]

[pride flinches at the sudden touch, but. doesn't pull away.

they sink back, and a glimmer of fangs show from under the hood.]

[liuli]

[ i wish he knew what freaky was ]

It's odd, to say the least - but certainly an angle to consider. Especially considering that we can't place either of them at curfew, either. Like you said, let's wait until we have more evidence before we do more than consider.

[toesies]

Let's not forget he asked Fukuda to fight him last week.

[shiftingwinds]

[it's a plan! she smiles faintly at him]

[headmt]

[just

a wheeze snort from across the room]

[fluffier]

I hope he was more willin' this time than he was with Fukuda.

[ :( ]

[shiftingwinds]

...I think maybe they weren't expecting anyone to help them.

[mukagen]

[ Aw. White so sweet. He pats his shoulder. ]

Nope. Not really relevant or important.

[liuli]

[probe]

[sorry pride...the grip is loose at least but they don't let go yet either because none trust.

but they lean forward to whisper something to them instead.]

[probe]

I have literally zero people aligned with me now and figuring anything out here won't change that! So, y'know.

[the spirits will remain down, even if he manages to say that weirdly cheerfully.]

[dotcom]

Ah, yes. Assuming. We have caught so many murderers that way.

[sengokus]

[nods]

I agree. We just need evidence to get to any conclusion first. [which they don't have so it's just. theorizing]

At least... we've got places to look and possible leads about sins involved if those places aren't relevant.

[liuli]

[ this is funny for canon reasons ]

He certainly isn't! Or, if he is, he'd be rather sneaky about it.

[enfangs]

[CACKLES]

[fluffier]

[ pats her shoulder ]

We ain't got any reason to hide our bodies after seein' each other naked so many times now. And ya ain't got anything to be shy about either.

[toyska]

[He just smiles and doesn't say a damn thing]

[sengokus]

[nods....]

So I guess we just gotta wait for teams to get back... But so far - Tea Room and Observation Room, right? So that's Fourth Floor and Second Floor?

[fatalattraction]

There's a lot of blood over here...

[ she frowns and checks her phone... when she sees there's no messages, she takes a shitty picture of the splats and then looks on top of the desk?? is there blood here too... ]

But Zixi hasn't said anything, so this must not be where someone was killed.

[headmt]

[A bit of laugh, because. Yeah. No more holes.]

Seems like we were all caught up a bit in our indulgences this week. Everyone was likely pushed to their edges.

[probe]

[they relax the tiniest bit.

they also continue to not pull away, it's fine.]

[enfangs]

... Yeah. I doubt he would've asked that if he wasn't confident he had a chance.

[bonetiddies]

That is what I was asking after, you know. But perhaps it's a discussion for later - the implications of your depleted team.

[Okay, no mean thoughts this time.]
