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!

[ he is not surprised ]

So now we need to find who killed Omi.
sengokus: (β™Ÿ i'm not giving up no not yet;)

[personal profile] sengokus 2021-03-06 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[nodding along]

Yeah. I think this is a start - thanks, Molly and Harrow-san - but we've still got time and shouldn't stop when we've made progress.

Gojou-san looked over Omi-san's body, we know it was related to the observation room and the kitchen... What next? We need to narrow down suspects.
headmt: [ dejasquietplace ] (36.)

[personal profile] headmt 2021-03-06 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Think it's a little more than a start, and perhaps you should consider giving Harrow a medal, but that's just me.
sengokus: (β™Ÿ i'll wait for you)

[personal profile] sengokus 2021-03-06 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[he just laughs a bit]

No - you're right, it's halfway through. [but glass half full!!] I'll give Harrow-san whatever she wants after this.
dotcom: (than a 90's trend)

[personal profile] dotcom 2021-03-06 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Is there anywhere else we need to search?
toesies: (068)

[personal profile] toesies 2021-03-06 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
We talked about the planetarium, sleeping bay and dog park at some point? And there was the bottle from the common room, too, but...

[Law just confessed to killing their clown. So who knows if there will be evidence of Omi's murder there?]
dotcom: (i never had the courage)

[personal profile] dotcom 2021-03-06 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe dog park? Is there anywhere specific about the sleep bay?
toesies: (086)

[personal profile] toesies 2021-03-06 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Omi and Douman's room, I guess? It only came up because the dogs were sleepy.
dotcom: (you know that train)

[personal profile] dotcom 2021-03-06 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask.
toesies: (127)

[personal profile] toesies 2021-03-06 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
It would almost hurt more if we didn't ask.
sengokus: (β™Ÿ i'm not giving up no not yet;)

[personal profile] sengokus 2021-03-06 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Well...

[actually, his brow furrows]

It's kinda weird - that Omi-san was supposed to start from the kitchen, but apparently he died there? But there's blood at the Observation Room. So... did he make one big loop? And if he did, why?
dotcom: (pic#14605573)

[personal profile] dotcom 2021-03-06 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm... a chase, maybe?

Odd that he would have gone back though.
sengokus: (β™Ÿ i thought of angels)

[personal profile] sengokus 2021-03-06 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[he's getting a text and reporting:]

Blood in the kitchen though.
alteracion: (& you're standing on the edge face up)

[personal profile] alteracion 2021-03-06 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe... Was he dead before they hit him with the telescope? Like... was it poison, or blood boiling or whatever?
liuli: (156)

[personal profile] liuli 2021-03-06 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps Law will be willing to help us sort out some evidence - so we don't cross any wires.
toesies: (177)

[personal profile] toesies 2021-03-06 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
That would be convenient. And not being the only man on death row would be good motivation to cooperate.
liuli: (89)

[personal profile] liuli 2021-03-06 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Sort of a plea bargain, if you will.

[ ... ]

Though, I suppose that assumes he wants his life saved.
toesies: (028)

[personal profile] toesies 2021-03-06 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
A big if. Some men are too stubborn to take it.
liuli: (80)

[personal profile] liuli 2021-03-06 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Mn. Honor, and all that.

[ men are stupid, actually ]

I call it overcompensating for their tiny dicks.
liuli: (47)

[personal profile] liuli 2021-03-06 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[ oh my god he snortlaughs and covers his mouth. ]

Yes, precisely.
bonetiddies: (πŸ’€it was also the night that)

[personal profile] bonetiddies 2021-03-06 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Agreed. I'd like to hear more from Law, but let's not rest assuming we have our answer. It is more important than ever to understand what else happened that night.
dotcom: (from that look on your face)

[personal profile] dotcom 2021-03-06 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmhm. And I wouldn't want everyone else to start relaxing just because you did the work for them.
bonetiddies: (πŸ’€i wasted it all)

[personal profile] bonetiddies 2021-03-06 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[She seems kind of pleased by this comment. Or maybe she's just relieved he isn't angry with her.]

It's a pity if Omi's killer wasn't injured - that's the one where the motives are harder to understand.
dotcom: (pic#14615121)

[personal profile] dotcom 2021-03-06 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm... we still have a few hours and places to check. Hopefully we can narrow it down to someone.
