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!

[hggghhhh]

Is that the thing that could've been rolling yesterday....?

[alteracion]

[ ... small smile? ]

Yeah, I know.

[ i guess they will hold hands until grace absconds to the observing room ]

[dotcom]

[ he just shakes his head. ]

That, or he used it stupidly.

[sengokus]

[ . . . he looks thoughtful]

... maybe... but then how would that work...

[probe]

[it's droplets in the sense like they're a trail leading into the room, but no, not necessarily a steady trail. as sheila looks around, she will also notice there are some smears of blood on the ground that are a little larger in size. there's also some glistening further in on the ground, like something kind of shiny.]

[shiftingwinds]

[just


just their neck? please tell me their head is there. anyway she'll push up the sleeves of her robes so she doesn't get blood all over them and lean in to get a closer look. is there any particular wound that all the blood seems to be coming from...?]

[sengokus]

[nods...]

Yeah. I guess if you're disoriented, it can be hard to use a power.

[mukagen]

This isn’t trial-related, but can I have a hug?

[ ples ]

[fatalattraction]

yeah its super broken and super bloody
cant find the rolling thing tho?? this is bothering me 😭

[ and then, after his update: ]

oh
😰
what the heck happened here then?????????

TEA ROOM

[toesies]

Found blood as soon as we walked in. We're about to take a closer look.
Any update on the bodies?

[sengokus]

[nods....]

Yeah, but you'd hope we'd be able to tell....

[enfangs]

Depends on how many killers we're looking at here. You think the Avatars would tell us if they're all still alive?

[callmemeg]

[ well, fine. meg's just going to casually step over the blood and head over to the tables, i guess, to check if they're all in order or still pushed around like they were in mini-invest. ]

And to think, this was a perfectly good place to spend time until they started murdering people in here.

[ and, checking her phone - ]

Harrow says Douman's body reacted, so we can assume most of the blood is his.

[sengokus]

You're so brutal today.

[takeru is brutal everyday]

.... well it's something to think about at least....

I still don't know about Ashiya-san's power either. Blood boiling for thirty seconds? If it's literal or... what...

[bonetiddies]

[She's sending this to Meg because she might need her Sheila texts???]

Douman's corpse reacted just now.

[sengokus]

We can ask...? Can you see, White?

[shiftingwinds]

That would be ideal, yes...

[enfangs]

Sure.

[shuffles off]

[dotcom]

If the Avatars won't explain it, the only way would be to test it out.

[probe]

No.

[sengokus]

[he nods...]

I can test it on myself we decide we need to.

[enfangs]

[hello he's going to lust? and clapping his hands in front of him. 🙏]

Lust, I'm one of your favourites, right? So, uh, could you tell us if all the killers we're trying to catch here are still alive?

[liuli]

It wasn't the telescope?
The rolling was metallic sounding, wasn't it? [ according to the mods who i just messaged in desperation ]

Don't know.
Still lots of locations and places to look, though.
Good job. Tell Grace, too.

[liuli]

Mm. It was a metallic sound, so. Seems likely.

[dotcom]

Aren't you hotheaded enough if it isn't literal?
