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!

I just really wanted to pet some dogs after trauma hotel...

[bonetiddies]

[Can't relate. She feels cruel doing this, but - ]

Didn't you ask Omi if he had anyone to spend curfew with? As far as we know now, he was entirely alone.

[mukagen]

I assumed he might have gone with Douman, so I didn't ask.

In hindsight, I should have.

[bonetiddies]

Yes.

[She sighs.]

I find it very odd, but I also - I don't really have any sense why you would have wanted to kill him. If there's a motive, it's something I don't understand. Just - say you felt strangely, in his company, after nearly strangling him and I'd believe it easily. But instead you just - wanted to pet some dogs.

[mukagen]

We talked it out and he understood, so I didn't feel uncomfortable in his company despite what I did. I don't think it's possible for me to feel uncomfortable around him... He made me feel like I could be normal.

[ Human instead of a monster or a curse. ]

So I felt comfortable enough to go about things as normal and pet some dogs. Probably sounds weird.

[dotcom]

So you weren't involved in his death? Just since we keep getting hints about possible love triangles.

[mukagen]

Not involved at all. I like Omi a lot and his death would be a pointless one for me.

Killing for me needs to have meaning.
