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 would say it could be they're easy targets, but Vlad was already pretty healed.

[ ... ]

Granted, he was probably just an easy target normally.

[toyska]

[I can't believe Vlad's been dead for a week and we're still being mean to him]

His unpopularity makes it difficult to guess... [Literally anyone could've targeted Vlad for any reason and everyone would've gone "fair enough"]

[dotcom]

Douman also had the second highest votes last week, too. We should keep that in mind.

[toyska]

You think they've been a target for that long?

[sengokus]

I mean... we lost Vlad-san last week.

[there's a chance people just want to kill the second highest person]

[toyska]

That's true.

[That's one way to pick a target, he guesses,,]

[dotcom]

It's just a possibility someone suspected them.

[toyska]

[Ah, that's fair.]

I suppose it's too early for any solid ideas.

[dotcom]

Yeah. We were told that we should focus more on motive, so it's just something we should keep in mind.

[fluffier]

We were? I woulda figured they just picked 'em because they seemed easy.

[dotcom]

Ah, yes. Assuming. We have caught so many murderers that way.

[fluffier]

[ makes a face at him ]

[dotcom]

[ :/ ]

[chevaleros]

Yes, between Vlad and Douman, it's possible someone thought they were the most acceptable options.

[ they could be suspicious, or just going after targets that people were likely to kill off anyway. ]

[fergalicious]

I would not discount any of those reasonings either.

[bonetiddies]

Don't forget Grell Sutcliffe, as well. All perhaps instances of targeting a person they would not feel remorse over.

[chevaleros]

It's possible we are dealing with more than one killer, but yes. The choice of victim seems to fit a consistent theme.

[ possible they're dealing with a serial killer with a specific type of MO. ]

[toesies]

So... a vigilante kill with no evidence?

[dotcom]

That, or someone who wanted to kill in general but wanted a reason on who to choose.

[toesies]

Also known as a dick move.

[dotcom]

We have a lot of assholes here, so it tracks.

[toesies]

It's true... We're not very nice people.

[fluffier]

[ says one of the biggest offenders ]

[dotcom]

[ sorry he can't read the brackets of violent furries ]
