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!

[fluffier]

Could they swap to another power that someone else had or something totally new?

[enfangs]

... For what it's worth, I didn't say mine, but at least three other people claimed to have the same one, I think.

[probe]

Good morning. [lust at least will speak! and they wave.]

[bonetiddies]

I can't really understand it, either. If it did what it sounds like it does, I think it could be exceptionally lethal. But no other power given out has been an automatically kill someone power, so I'm doubtful.

[mukagen]

[ ohhhhh my gooooddd ]

I needed to ask them something! It wasn’t even hanging out or anything?!

This coming week for sure!

[sistocracy]

It's just one use per person, yes?

I'm not sure I want to try it, though. It sounds... a little embarrassing.

[sengokus]

Hmm....

Latter, I think.

But I don't have enough information to say for sure. I feel like you can't steal someone else's power though.

[headmt]

There was blood and enough of a bashing to hurt someone, but not kill them there then.

[enfangs]

... Don't tell me it's actually about whatever Omi and Douman had going on between them.

[probe]

Some of us are a little more touchy than others about being snubbed, you know.

[gojou...] But you've kind of had a really bad week....

[chevaleros]

...If it seems clear that a power was used for either killing, it's something to consider.

[mukagen]

[ Gojou.... Gojou is literally the math meme lady right now. ]

... I don’t think that’s how hugs work?

[sengokus]

[well. he looks at the clock]

You want me to test mine out now? Get it out of the way? If it knocks me out, someone toss me in a pod until I'm conscious, I guess.

[callmemeg]

[ she is being careful! walking on glass once was enough for meg, thanks! buuuuut she's just going to crouch down - carefully, so no more glass in her sandals or feet - to check that bottle.

it's one from the common room, isn't it. are there any like... puddles or whatever to indicate what happened to the contents? does the area smell like alcohol, maybe? ]

Found a broken bottle. Got anything over there?

[headmt]

Is it really the lover's quarrel? Is it really the lover's quarrel!

[making a face like, I'm a favorite too, yes?]

[sengokus]

So it might be four after all.

[nodo]

[ law will not wave but nod and speak!! ]

Good morning, all of this must be getting pretty old.

[alteracion]

The non-literal version of getting someone's blood boiling is to make them super angry, right? That would fit as the kind of power we get here.

[probe]

[it is just... a piano wire covered in gore.

also it's just the eye in there. bleh.

she's being thorough with his head so - she finds a pretty nasty bruise on the back of their head. it's circular (i'm afraid to tell you how big it is because andie made fun of my size sense last week) and like the size of... a coaster. like a drink coaster. there are some faint hickey bruises on the neck that she can barely see because of, you know, neck wound.

you can assume there are also various faint sex injuries here and there, we're all well aware the clown was clorny.]

[liuli]

Mmn. And if they did have a different one, would it have left a mark? All quite troubling.

[maelstroms]

Boiling blood inside the body would have adverse effects - boiling water can burn you if you come in contact, after all, and blood is a liquid just the same as water is. More viscous, yes, but

If the blood boils, and reaches the heart... [ It's definitely a viable means of completely decimating someone. ]

[toyska]

[A nod.]

Mine as well.

[enfangs]

On the other hand, that's what all of us in Wrath got the last time... Don't know if they'd repeat it like that, and shorten the duration.

[chevaleros]

If there were, would help us winnow down the possible culprits, at least. Presuming powers were used at all.

[fluffier]

So did they chase Omi down 'n' kill 'im somewhere else, and then put the telescope back?

[ squints ]

If he did die somewhere else it was probably on the same floor though. Takin' the elevator woulda taken time.
