WEEK 4 TRIAL

[probe]

POPULATION: 23

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.

trial. noon.

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, Wrath, Greed, Despair and Sloth patiently wait as the TV above them displays a message.

Victim: Eleanor Shellstrop

Once the last participant enters the room, the door will swing closed behind them and lock them inside.

Wrath is sitting on the table, organizing notes and gently sliding them to Greed. Sloth is here with what looks like a dog-shaped neck pillow sticking out of the edges of their hood. The spiraled horn on the top of their head is longer and sharper. Greed is leaning against the table in an attempt to be present, hands tentatively reaching forward to take the papers from Wrath. Despair has taken their usual seat, just vibing here as they quietly observe. Oddly, Sloth, Greed and Wrath are not in their cloaks today. Instead, they are in sweatpants (shorts in Wrath's case) and cozy hoodies in their color with their symbol printed on the front. The hoods are pulled over their heads however. Once everyone has settled, Sloth chimes in.

Everyone has nine hours again! You can do it! Last time, you even did it a little early! Wow!

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Hello, and welcome to your fifth 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!

DOG BARKED IN THE DISTANCE WHEN I WHISTLED BRB

[dotcom]

🐶
Got it.

[alteracion]

why did eleanor have to pick the dog that breathes fire

might have destroyed evidence it was chewing on. tell greed maus is the only acceptable dog in this place

[dotcom]

There's a fire at the house so it might have caused it then.
But okay. Not like we needed evidence or anything.

[alteracion]

it was shrimp we're fine

but the dog ran off and I am not chasing and bringing fire puppy to trial

[dotcom]

That's fine.
If it becomes relevant, we know where the dog is and can go looking for it later.

There was no update on the body by the way.

LAUNDRY ROOM

[maelstroms]

[ He sends it to Grace, since they spoke before the invest group left. ]

cocktail sauce on one of the machines
we're looking for anything else

[alteracion]

[ hm ]

Does it look like a machine + dryer were used?

[maelstroms]

[ a long beat, as he nearly fucking eats it on evidence ]

nothing in them, but yes
soot on washer handle, sauce on button - lenore confirmed that it wasn't blood
dryer had been used recently according to medb
stepped on something, though, so we're checking what it is
