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!

This is why we can't catch murderers, isn't it.

[ everyone trying to demonstrate on themselves. ]

We're also easily distracted.

I think they go together.

They definitely go together.

Oh, absolutely.

But we managed to start checking both the bodies before the second half of the day, this time, so I'll take it.

[oh, come on.]

It's better than biting a corpse.

We can probably avoid having anyone bite a corpse, honestly.

That's why I suggested this! To avoid biting a corpse! I'm not a corpse, Yuri!

Or other people. [ he's just gonna boop her nose. no, sqx. ]

Rice cake. We're just getting a rice cake!! Even some taffy would work!

Wouldn't that be a different texture, though? Would it give us an identical mark?

It doesn't need to be identical, it's the shape of someone's mouth and an imprint of their teeth that can be compared against a bite.

Please stop making me talk about mouths.

[ Clacks his teeth obnoxiously next to Mineo. Chomp chomp chomp chomp. ]

[places both hands on gojou's shoulders]

Stop.

[ ... Chomp chomp.

Okay he stops now. ]

[SIR YOU ARE THE REASON WHY WE ARE HAVING THIS DISCUSSION]

.... why did you bite him anyway, Gojou-san?

...oh. I just thought it would be helpful to have as close a comparison as possible.

[he just

looks off to the side for a second and sighs

before he looks back at her]

... I know, Shi-san. Thanks for trying to help. But that's uh, really unsanitary especially since you just had blood on your hands earlier, and also even if Gojou-san did bite you, it'd have to be really hard for it to leave an imprint long enough for us to compare.

If you just bite someone in general, it won't like - keep its shape most of the time unless you really try. So just biting an object that's just squishy enough to keep an imprint should work. Like a casting mold. Not a person.

[she nods]

...okay. I get it.

[this is why you don't let people who have read a single book on forensics make suggestions]

Teeth marks don't change shape because you're biting on a human versus anything else, Shi.

But the texture of the skin, and the bones in a hand, wouldn't that affect how accurate it would be if you bit something different?

Can we at least try it the normal way before we jump to something absurd?
