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!

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

Yup!

[aubins]

[ yuri is perceiving. dana is shipping. ]

[fluffier]

[ gives him a pat on the shoulder ]

Don't worry, Ennie... you'll figure it out.

[ but like, later. not when we're trying to solve murders ]

[sengokus]

[sdlkfjsdlfkjsdlkjfskjldf HE JUST COVERS HIS FACE]

Why do you just assume I have something to figure out?!

[BECAUSE HE'S OBVIOUS??????

ANYWAY - ]

Whatever! Let's focus! I'm just saying it's weird that the two of them both died this week and shit seemed complicated, but it's just conjecture until we tie stuff together!

[fluffier]

[ oh, she was talking about him figuring out omi and douman's relationship? obviously?

:J ]

Okay, I got faith in you.

[ she'll come back to this once they're not on a time limit ]

[callmemeg]

Does that come from personal experience?

[sengokus]

[nnnnoooooooOOOOO HE'S FLUSTERING]

Can my stuff stop being used as roast material during a murder trial?!

[callmemeg]

Stop painting a target on your back and maybe we will.

You're going to share, right? Who's lucky enough to get their hands on your romantic little heart?

[sengokus]

[THIS IS TERRIBLE AND HE'S JUST GOING TO FROWN]

.... no.

[he huffs]

Now's not the time, and stuff like that should be private anyway. If it's really close to your heart, then nobody else needs to know for it to matter.

[this is still such a romantic notion but he's serious about it :/ ]

[callmemeg]

I never said it had to be now.

[ she reaches up to tap his nose gently ]

I'm just curious. You're really into the whole romance thing, after all. I'd think it's a little hard to find in a place like this, but here you are.

[sengokus]

[sdlkfjsdfl he flusters.... everyone stop bullying him (it's fine for now we're doing nothing else,)]

That's not...

[he doesn't know how to explain this situation]

.... um, I don't want to talk about it, Meg-san. It's not right.

[phew!]

[callmemeg]

[ wow and here she was actually being gentle with him

it's fine! she shrugs! ]

Suit yourself, hero. Try not to let them break your heart, alright?

[ and she's off to invest goodbye ]

[maelstroms]

I told you that you make it too easy for them, Mineo.

[sengokus]

[he's about to whine at ming yi

before he seems to think of something else

and just turns redder and looks away]

I-It's not on purpose, Yi-kun! I'm gonna - look at some evidence or something!

[WE DON'T HAVE EVIDENCE YET]

[shiftingwinds]

[ 👀 ]

[liuli]

[ 👀 ]

[aubins]

[ :3c ]

[maelstroms]

[ pointedly ignores the eyeballs on them, raising an eyebrow very slowly ]

Maybe you should wait until we have evidence for that. [ we don't have evidence yet honey ] You could reach out to one of the investigation groups, check in with them.

[ We kind of got a body update after all. Here's your out, Mineo. ]

[sengokus]

Right okay I'm gonna do that!!

[HE'S LEAVING]

[maelstroms]

[ very rudely snorts because he's a bully ]

[liuli]

[ waves phone ]

There's a lot of blood in the Observation Room. They're bringing back a telescope, likely to be the murder weapon.

[sengokus]

[hggghhhh]

Is that the thing that could've been rolling yesterday....?

[liuli]

Mm. It was a metallic sound, so. Seems likely.

[sengokus]

[nods...]

We can take a look at it then. I wonder if it was related to Ashiya-san or Omi-san...
