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!

[fluffier]

[ it the floor wet at all, she's using her tail as an extra appendage to check for any unusual moistness ]

Whatever happened in here, they obviously covered up their tracks.

[ desperately gets up and runs through the cupboards again, noticing the previously mentioned wet bowls. ]

It's almost like he ate before...?

[enfangs]

[he's going to? climb up onto the counters to look up high??? we're so desperate.]

I dunno... Gah, why couldn't have someone been in the kitchen with him? C'mon, Omi, you had friends, didn't you!?

[probe]

[yuel does not find moistness on the floor!

from on top of the counter, white can still see those food remnants in the sink, plus the rest of the kitchen appliances, the floor, the table, etcetera.]

[fluffier]

[ looks at the ceiling in desperation, while also talking to Envy ]

You'd let us know if we're wastin' our time at least, wouldn't ya?

[enfangs]

[the walls are fine, right????]

Are we? Tell us if we are...

[probe]

Huh-- do you think you are?

[envy pokes his head in.]

Are you sure you really didn't find anything?

[nothing on the ceiling or walls.]

[fluffier]

[ close to tears, she checks the oven...2! ]

Just... the food in the sink?

[ whips to look at White ]

Maybe it's poisoned?!

[enfangs]

[after he fires a text to mineo, who unlike the two of them possesses a braincell at times—

god this is gross HE WILL SHOVE THE SINK FOOD INTO LIKE THE DRAIN HOLDER THING my vocabulary is failing me but hopefully you know what i mean. he'll then remove it from the sink so he can get a closer look at the food???????? does he have to eat it. is this what my life has become.

also mineo then replies so he's going to open and close the fridge door repeatedly.]

Uh, Mineo says to check inside and behind the vending machine...!?

[probe]

I mean, if you find stuff then I probably wouldn't dismiss its existence? That's just me, though.

[envy is coming in to just. perch on the edge of the kitchen table while he watches them.

the food looks like food in a drain holder! nothing of note happens when he keeps opening and closing the door. oven check...2 also yields nothing new.]

[fluffier]

... If ya say so.

[ She'll look behind the vending machine, but I am assuming there is nothing (correct me if I'm wrong!), and which point she'll take the wet bowls out of the cupboards and look toward White.

He can hold the gross sink food. ]

I dunno if we should stay here any longer.

[enfangs]

But he died here, right...? Did they wash off blood or something?

[UGGGGH

he'll peer into the sink again and sniff. are there any traces of blood in the drain?????]

I guess, unless Envy thinks otherwise.

[probe]

[there's nothing behind the vending machine! the sink has no blood.

envy leans back, a hand propped on the kitchen table.]

If you're sure you're ready, then we can go, yeah. Just tell me if you're finished.

[fluffier]

[ gives envy the most broken stare ]

... Yeah, let's go.

[probe]

Alright, we can head back then.

[he very slowly slides off of the kitchen table. then he'll head off to lead them back!]

[enfangs]

[ACTUALLY WE'RE CHECKING THAT TABLE NOW I'M SORRY SPOON]

[probe]

[there are in fact some small drops of liquid on this table i keep mentioning!

some of them are tinted faintly red? but not all of them.]

[fluffier]

[ zooms back when white starts checking. how many drops are there? just a little?

yuel will... sniff them, do they smell salty or just like water with a bit of blood? ]

[enfangs]

[white snaps a photo! and then he also looks under this table in case.

...

also i guess he will peel off his gloves, touch one of the non-red drops with his finger, and then lick it. i hope it's poison and i die.]

[probe]

[yuel will find they do in fact smell salty! there's a small number. all smell salty, the red tinted ones smell like salt and copper.

when white tastes one of the non red ones which we will call regular flavor: it tastes salty. he does not die, sorry.]

[fluffier]

White! Don't put strange things in yer mouth?!





... What did it taste like?

[ also sorry mods, i'm sure you want this inves to end but how many drops are there... is it a lot or just like a few that were left behind ]

[enfangs]

You can't tell me that! Also.... salty?

[is there any kind of pattern to the drops, while we're at it?]

[probe]

[they're all in kind of the same area. also i was not given an exact number so there are just Some. several. the drops are here, splattered onto the table.]

[fluffier]

Maybe he was cryin'... Still doesn't explain why there's no more blood.

[ she sighs and stands back, looking at Envy. ]

Alright, can we go now?

[enfangs]

And it's diluted, right? Weird...

[anyway are we finally free teej or are we still missing things as i cry]

[probe]

Yeah, you're good! Let's head back.

[THIS TIME FOR REAL]
