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!

Yeah, but does this have to do with how they died!?

[liuli]

A crime of passion, perhaps?

[sengokus]

[he just grumbles]

We need more evidence before we confirm anything and I don't want to assume that the two murders are related but...

What a freaky coincidence if it is, right?

[headmt]

Perhaps the best thing to do is to assume they aren't related and as we find more, see if they connect in any way.

[sengokus]

[nods]

I agree. We just need evidence to get to any conclusion first. [which they don't have so it's just. theorizing]

At least... we've got places to look and possible leads about sins involved if those places aren't relevant.

[liuli]

[ i wish he knew what freaky was ]

It's odd, to say the least - but certainly an angle to consider. Especially considering that we can't place either of them at curfew, either. Like you said, let's wait until we have more evidence before we do more than consider.

[sengokus]

[nods....]

So I guess we just gotta wait for teams to get back... But so far - Tea Room and Observation Room, right? So that's Fourth Floor and Second Floor?

[liuli]

Right. [ he glances down to check his phone for a misamisa message. ]

We only had those two for occurrences outside of curfew, and two bodies. I suppose that correlates, since, I believe the week before we had three... We'll need to check the rooms on the second and fourth floor again, just to be thorough. Or, at least ask.

[ since


clown shoe crimes last time, ]

[sengokus]

[do not make mineo speedrun another inves 30 minutes to trial end i'll literally shoot everyone in the room not mineo me dana]

Right. We can keep a running list of places and see if any trails can lead into each other, or if items can be placed in different rooms.

[liuli]

Let's avoid having to run through the entire base in the last hour of trial again, shall we?

[ we suffered. dana especially suffered. ]

I'll see if we can't get something to write on from the Avatars. At best, it may keep us from being forgetful. [ as lust said.... ]

[enfangs]

...

Damn, I hate that I can't dismiss that.

[liuli]

What Molly said is best - it's better not to make any assumptions until we have evidence. But, it is a strange coincidence, and one that shouldn't be completely put to the wayside, either.
