7rings | WEEK 3 TRIAL

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!

[well. he looks at the clock]

You want me to test mine out now? Get it out of the way? If it knocks me out, someone toss me in a pod until I'm conscious, I guess.

No! Don't - don't fucking boil your own blood, idiot. We don't even know if it's related to anything, to start with!

[HE'S WHINING. NOOOOO HE GOT SCOLDED BY HARROW]

But if I test it out later, I might be unconscious for longer!

We don't even know if it's literal! We keep going in circles about what it could be when we could just find out?

[this is why he got knocked around for being reckless earlier]

It's possible Douman was shot with a gun. We don't know that for sure, but maybe you should shoot yourself in the head so we can have an example of what it would look like for later.

[oh.

he flinches a little severely at that]

.... okay. I get it.

[...

anyway after white is instinctively amused at harrow being a mean girl, he reaches to pat mineo on the shoulder.]

[it takes him a second but he offers a bit of a tired smile]

... I'm okay. I get what she was saying.

[...]

Yeah, it's her way of saying she cares. [a pause, and then—] Sorry.

[Ah, yikes. Hmm. She was just trying to be mean, not super mean.]

Don't do reckless things to yourself. If everyone is worried over you, we aren't going to get much done, are we?

[ . . . he offers up a smile after a moment, a little forced but.]

No, I get it. You're right. I just don't...

[ . . . ]

We'll talk about it if something comes up. Powers just throw us all for a loop in general, so. I'd rather eliminate unknowns, but you're right - this one could be dangerous.
