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!

Medb said she wanted them to stay in medbay, but clearly, they didn't listen.

[enfangs]

If she even told them to, makes you wonder if there was a reason they had to head out elsewhere...? I mean, if no one's mentioned that Douman already promised to stay with 'em or something.

[toesies]

Right. Mahito said they were in a bad mood and struggling with the pod side effects, too, so... What the fuck, Douman?

[touchups]

[WHAT THE FUCK DOUMAN IS RIGHT.]

I don't think anyone saw them at a point where they were entirely healed, so I have to wonder if they went back to the medbay at all before we all got locked in.

[toesies]

From the sound of it, they might not have gone back at all... Ugh.

[THIS STUPID CLOWN SHE'S SO MAD]

[touchups]

[Reaches out for Sheila's hands...]

Why.

[JUST WHY. WHY IS THEIR STUPID CLOWN THIS WAY.]

[toesies]

[Holds his flea hands...]

Why.

[aubins]

... Specifically they told her "Maybe later".

[toesies]

[... CLOSES HER EYES.]

If they weren't dead, I would literally turn them inside out. Goddamn it, Douman.

[aubins]

Clever with their phrasing, huh. Although if it's because they were uncomfortable in there... [ hm. why...? ]

[toesies]

... Were they claustrophobic?

[squints.]

[aubins]

I don't know. Maybe Medb would?

[fergalicious]

I don't think so. At least, they never showed me anything like that.

[fergalicious]

Yeah, you and me both.

I said it yesterday, but it's strange they didn't heed my words.

[toesies]

[She nods.]

Have they ever done anything like it before?

[fergalicious]

Oh, they've done things I haven't liked before, but they've never gone against my express words.

They were conscious about trying to be a good Servant.

[toyska]

[Sigh.]

I saw them earlier in the day. They definitely weren't comfortable staying in there.

[So he's not really surprised that Douman ditched.]

[aubins]

... But his eyes were just gone. Didn't you and Gu Yun need at least a couple of sessions in those pods to get your hands back?

[toyska]

Yes, but in all fairness, both of us left them for a while as well.

[They sure did walk around with skeleton hands on Friday wow]

We returned to finish the healing process--I'd assumed they would be forced into doing the same.

[aubins]

Did Douman spend any time in one of those pods, or did they just avoid it entirely...?

[toyska]

They did. One eye was healed, when I saw them.

[The other was. Not.]

[aubins]

... That's helpful to know, actually. So they weren't completely blinded, but working with half their usual vision.

That could be why someone targeted them, after all. [ ... bad. but given he was thinking of douman wandering around, bumping into things... not as bad as previously assumed. ]

[toesies]

One of their eyes was back when Mahito checked in on them, so yes...?

[liuli]

[ oUR BONE HANDS ]

It took me three sessions to regrow my hand, and I experienced a lot of side effects in the process. It was why I couldn't hold anything last week.

[toyska]

We should've sparred like that.
