7rings | WEEK 3 TRIAL

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!

No, I still have my "prize" from last week and it's still the ability where I can have someone be hyper focused on whatever I decide them to be.

[super thorough hand check just reveals that sqx has very nice hands! fresh and clean. they smell faintly of whatever the fuck the scent of the soap is around here.]

[ cool so

aoi was completely sincere when she nodded. she was GOING to do strip check... but as soon as she had freedom, her fighting instincts took over.

she's little, but fast, and takes off running to tackle shi qingxuan! ]

... Diluted blood, or... tears from an eye that's bloody and regrowing?

[ GAY DRAMA??????? ]

[a beat]

Tasted?

If we're going with the theory that Douman may have killed Omi, then could he have been crying with just the one functional eye?

[ is that why it's bloody ]

[ he'll wave off the thanks since he doesn't want to be thanked for working with them. ]

No, unfortunately there was nothing else that I noticed.

[ Yuel nods. ]

Other than that there wasn't really anything... No big blood splatters or [ ugh ] brain matter. If there was a mess, then it was cleaned up.

[ also, like, after that confirmation from pride ]

...What are we missing?

Anyway, they're all salty! That's the conclusion.

... well, that would explain why it'd be diluted blood.

[ he'll say it ]

Why did you taste it...

[WE'RE BACK TO THIS]

[it's curved like a telescope lens, yeah.]

—?!

[what the f—

anyway, aoi slams into her, and shi qingxuan gives a muffled shriek and shoves her away. unfortunately, she's off-balance and toppling over!

smack goes her head into the corner of a conference room table.]
