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!

I gotta admit, she is pretty cute.

[headmt]

[clapping him on the back?]

We'll get to the bottom of it. If we need to test it we can circle back around to it.

Does seem strange neither of them would use any powers they had available in a life or death situation.

[enfangs]

[he's sorry for finding it funny for a bit, but he's not going to say that!! so he just shoves his hands into his pockets instead.]

[probe]

Only almost...? I even put you on the list and everything.

[he can try to pet!]

[probe]

[meg can have the bottle. she can also see that yes there is blood on the pointy broken edges.

sheila can check out the larger smears! some of them are just splatters here and there, but others look almost as if they're drag marks. like partial footprints. they seem to be leading into the room itself and around, and they're larger than her hand.]

[sengokus]

[a nod]

Thanks.

[investigations continue]

[probe]

It's not how handshakes work either and yet. Here we are.

[messybench]

With that group? I'm not surprised.

[probe]

It is an offensive power. I would suggest extreme caution in using it.

[fatalattraction]

People can survive lots of crazy things in high stress situations. Like, you know, flight or fight?

[mukagen]

It sounded like you’d remember anything people do? “Pepperidge Farm wishes they remembered stuff as much as I do.”

[ He will pet... He is sorry all the envies are gone. ]

[bonetiddies]

Did you consider that it might be a compliment?

[headmt]

Very kind of you to worry, but I'm doing just fine now.

[smooching her on the head!!!!!!!]

[callmemeg]

Exactly. So either Douman will have evidence of it, or whoever attacked him will, assuming they didn't heal up in the med bay afterward.

[ alright, she has the broken bottle. what if she checks... the ceiling! and the walls! is there anything out of the ordinary there or are we gucci ]

[probe]

Try hard. [envy defense squad...but there's a nod.]

You can agree that everyone's having a bad week and still acknowledge you had a really bad week, Mr. Gojou. It's fine.

[sengokus]

[he'll take the clap on the back! he's tense, but he does seem to be focusing a bit more as they continue to talk]

Whether to disorient their killer, or to at least give us some way to notice odd behavior in the days after, right?

[liuli]

No test subjects, then. Understood. [ save mineo 2021 ]

Let me ask this - is use of it more likely to leave internal injuries or external?

[headmt]

[He'll just hang out here arm over Mineo's shoulder then, casual as you please.]

Right. Or if they chose not to use them, then maybe it suggests some restraint against the attacker. For some reason.

[toesies]

That's something, at least...

[Hmm... Can she compare her own feet to the partial footprints at all? And when you say they're drag marks like partial footprints, do you mean it looks like someone was dragging their feet through the room? Also: Are the splatters like... velocity splatters or more like splatters from blood dripping? There are so many questions. I'm so sorry.]

[probe]

[pride just stares directly up at the ceiling, and says loudly:]

What the fuck do you think blood boiling means? Do you have external blood?

[enfangs]

Still wondering if Lust meant... you know...

[probe]

[nothing on the ceiling or the walls! the partial prints are larger than sheila's, and it's like someone was moving through the room. the splatters aren't velocity splatters, more like from blood dripping.]

[probe]

[they just

very quietly go

pfft.]

[liuli]

Well, I did last week. [ stop bullying me!! IM SICK!!! ]

I meant, is it more likely to make the person it's used upon want to attack someone versus the literal boiling of their blood, Pride.

[toyska]
