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!

[fluffier]

Which means we'll probably have to look at each other's bodies again. At least for Douman's case, who knows much damage Omi coulda done...

[enfangs]

I wouldn't necessarily count Omi out.

[fluffier]

Was he a fighter?

[ she only ever saw him in the kitchen ]

[enfangs]

Never saw him fighting or anything, but I think he probably used to be one.

[toesies]

Let's not forget he asked Fukuda to fight him last week.

[enfangs]

... Yeah. I doubt he would've asked that if he wasn't confident he had a chance.

[toesies]

Or, at least, I would hope that's the case.

[sengokus]

Oh - yeah! About Omi-san....!

He had a power that could make someone - uh, insatiably fixated on something for twenty four hours, right? Does anyone know if he had another power from an Avatar?

But if anyone was acting super weird yesterday....

[toesies]

I didn't notice anyone acting weird yesterday. I even paid attention.

[sengokus]

Me neither...

So - what.... Could he have delayed it until today...? Is that even possible? It'd be dumb to have a pretty strong power like that and not use it, and I don't think Omi-san was dumb.

[dotcom]

I didn't notice anything odd either.

[sengokus]

[he just shoots takeru a quietly tired look]

Same...

[but they already talked about this]

So what the hell could that mean, if he didn't use it?

[shiftingwinds]

No one seemed to be acting especially strangely to me, either...

[sengokus]

Right...? [he grumbles even as he massages his temples] Anybody just have some real strong fixations...?

[nodo]

Harrow said she was acting strange and that it was unrelated to where we stayed the night before.

[ he's not going to implicate her though, since, well...could very well not be. ]

[enfangs]

She knew she was doing it and that it was weird, though... If I was her, I would've started avoiding people after the first time around.

[toesies]

It's not. She said she'll talk about it later, so let's put a pin on it until then.

[fluffier]

I hope he was more willin' this time than he was with Fukuda.

[ :( ]

[enfangs]

Hopefully...

[alteracion]

I didn't spend six hours in that stupid pod to get naked again to prove I spent six hours in that stupid pod.

[fluffier]

[ pats her shoulder ]

We ain't got any reason to hide our bodies after seein' each other naked so many times now. And ya ain't got anything to be shy about either.

[alteracion]

It's not about being embarrassed, it's about taste.

[ only people she likes should get to see her naked? it's a gift? ]

[fluffier]

[ ... she doesn't get it ]

Yeah, it sure is! But it's just for figurin' out the murders... not for any suspicious reasons at least.

[alteracion]

[ oh, she really doesn't? grace laughs a bit and reaches to twirl yuel's hair around her fingers? ]

Who knows for sure, right? We've got plenty of weirdoes here. So make sure you're the one who checks me out, Foxy.

[fluffier]

[ she's just going to grin in response, grabbing grace's other hand and squeeze ]

You can count on me. I wouldn't let anything happen to ya.
