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!

You've got to admit being in an entirely different room during curfew would be a pretty solid alibi.

[please don't also shame him for almost eating poisoned evidence but anyway]

Hey, how exactly are these scenes preserved and stuff? Like... the stove was warm when we found it. Does that mean it would've been on near the end of the night, or are we entering some weird twisted time where it could've been shut off before curfew but we're still getting that it's warm anyway?
messybench: (so much gooder than you)

[personal profile] messybench 2021-03-07 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
That could explain the weird-ass sequence of events we haven't even fully nailed down, I guess.
chevaleros: (p08)

[personal profile] chevaleros 2021-03-07 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
And even if it could, would it affect two people...?

[personal profile] fatalattraction 2021-03-07 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Well... the rest of us are forced to stay asleep until Friday morning, right? The murderer had a lot of time to be able to do all that stuff.
liuli: (177)

[personal profile] liuli 2021-03-07 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
It's not like we get to find the bodies in the places they're left, either, so why go to all that trouble...?
bonetiddies: (by a demon)

[personal profile] bonetiddies 2021-03-07 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
. . . I'd like it if you could demonstrate for me that yours still works. Do you think you could?
fluffier: (pic#14647845)

[personal profile] fluffier 2021-03-07 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Why's it a secret when everyone else is sayin' what theirs does?
alteracion: (to make it in this world)

[personal profile] alteracion 2021-03-07 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
After last Sunday, I'm kind of going for foolish.
headmt: [ millimauk ] (03.)

[personal profile] headmt 2021-03-07 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
If you used it on someone else, you could simply fake your own side of the effect.
bonetiddies: (you'll shake and shudder)

[personal profile] bonetiddies 2021-03-07 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
No. So either two people used theirs, or one person used theirs and faked being affected by it.

... But Aoi was saving it...
sengokus: (β™Ÿ choking on their halos)

[personal profile] sengokus 2021-03-07 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
[he nods....]

That's - true. But damn, isn't that kind of a risk of thinking that no one else would be with Omi-san in the kitchen....
sengokus: (β™Ÿ and i will dhol you)

[personal profile] sengokus 2021-03-07 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe to make us think it was a fight - that's what we were stuck on for a while, after all.
bonetiddies: (πŸ’€to get their bones from you)

[personal profile] bonetiddies 2021-03-07 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry. I have a way to make it up to you, I think.
messybench: (the best)

[personal profile] messybench 2021-03-07 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Probably a mix of both, honestly.
chevaleros: (p06)

[personal profile] chevaleros 2021-03-07 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Then I would ask them both to demonstrate their powers.
sengokus: (β™Ÿ choking on their halos)

[personal profile] sengokus 2021-03-07 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
[nods...]

But then - would we have a hint for anything like that...?
sistocracy: (pic#14701040)

[personal profile] sistocracy 2021-03-07 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
I think it would take some trust to eat a meal someone prepared for you on a Thursday night, considering the pattern of deaths we've been having.
alteracion: (and i know that you mean so well but)

[personal profile] alteracion 2021-03-07 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Probably, but... if he ate after midnight it's insane.

15 AND COUNTING (dw permitting)

[ looks at his phone ]

We're getting down to the last call. How're we doing this?

[ They're not any closer to confirming Omi's killer, and they have Law's confession and evidence - but the votes aren't mandatory, so. ]
gamerbrain: (pic#14604326)

[personal profile] gamerbrain 2021-03-07 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ she looks like she might cry again. ]

Got it...

What should Aoi use it for...?
headmt: [ exmakina ] (83.)

[personal profile] headmt 2021-03-07 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
I believe what Law did was fucking idiotic, but I'm not voting for him.
