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!

Hey, maybe don't go giving them any tips, alright? We've got a bad enough track record as it is.

[ ...but then to the room at large: ]

But whoever did this should really leave Sunshine out of it. She did a better job of derailing this trial on her own.

[ the bites... ]

[maelstroms]

[ He's just saying - but also, it could be a clue itself? Maybe they didn't actually want to hurt anyone. ]

What's going on right now that a distraction needed to be implemented, anyways.

[ what clue did they nab that needs looked away from... ]

[callmemeg]

[ kind of late for a murderer to not want to hurt someone ]

Couldn't say, but obviously we've made just enough progress that they're worried about it.

[ ...she's going to go over to ming yi to say something quietly to him, though. ]

[maelstroms]

[ Little bit! But he's not about to say he understands how the killer(s) of the week's mind works. ]

The one trial we're actually making decent progress...

[ When she comes close, he hikes Qingxuan up a little higher and leans to listen to her, before nodding and carting his cargo off. ]
