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 suppose wondering why isn't going to help us at this point. The fact is: Douman didn't stay in the med bay as you assumed they would, and we don't have a lead on where they did stay.

[fergalicious]

We don't know if the why doesn't factor into this, do we? But until we find out more, it is something to set aside for now.

I hope we find out the where soon.

[aubins]

Put a pin in it for now and we can come back to it. Until we have solid details, we're just latching onto speculations.

[ ... ]

We will. Not finding out's not an option.

[fergalicious]

It isn't. I won't allow it.

[ But also, last week.... they were running the clock pretty close for locations. ]

[maelstroms]

They were very resistant to any encouragement or requests for them to go to the medbay in the first place. Omi asked them to, before Gojou required extra help, and they had rejected it.

I tried talking them into it, as well. [ It didn't really work. ] "Take care of your loved ones. I can wait."

[shiftingwinds]

...they let me take them there, but they didn't get into the pods right away.

[SIGHS.]

[maelstroms]

Didn't want to go, didn't want to stay, didn't want to go back.

[ making us all wonder, here ]

[shiftingwinds]

...they were having a difficult time, from what I gathered.

[It's Complicated.]

It can be hard to make up your mind about what you want to do when you're feeling like that.

[liuli]

[ wow what kind of fool would do that, ]

Did they give any reason why?

[shiftingwinds]

They said the others were more injured, so they could wait. [she frowns] They were resistant to having their hand bandaged while we were waiting, but I sort of ... made them let me do that.

[headmt]

Perhaps just lashing out. They had just had rather an envious time of it all.

[enfangs]

I did get the impression that Douman was feeling... pretty bitter and self-wallowing about things when they got out?

[maelstroms]

That was my impression, as well.

[headmt]

Had just finished a bit of a temper tantrum that involved a lot of screaming of I curse you with every fiber of my being and such.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . ]

Love triangle....?

[please just knock out mineo]

[enfangs]

Why are you so into people's love lives.

[sengokus]

Molly said that there was something emotional about it!

[SO MAYBE????]

I dunno, I feel like Ashiya-san could be pretty bitter if Omi-san took care of other people before them? That's Envy, right?!

[IT'S NOT ALL ROMCOM STUPIDITY it's partially romcom stupidity]

[maelstroms]

[ closes his fucking eyes ]

[fluffier]

Love sure is complicated...

[sengokus]

[ . . . . . . . a long silence and he's just going to look away from lITERALLY EVERYONE]

Yup!

[liuli]

Isn't it just?

[aubins]

[ looks tiredly into the distance. ]

[aubins]

[ this is More than reality television, and yuri doesn't even know what that is ]

[aubins]

... But they did go in at some point, apparently. [ hm. ] Uncertain about the technology of it, maybe?

[ a really huge masochistic clown, maybe??? ]

[maelstroms]

White is right that they were fairly self-wallowing and bitter, afterwards. I'm not sure of how much comfort they had with the technology of it, but we know that, at least.

[ maybe??? he could see it ]
