7rings | WEEK 4 TRIAL

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!

But you haven't mentioned what you saw, after curfew. And I. . .

[She can't decide what to do.]

I only saw Grace! I was awake during curfew and went to the medbay and then I turned around because you stopped me from doing anything!

You saw her at the medbay, correct?

... Wait, why only Grace, though?

She claims that she saw Grace awake, and then went back to sleep because of the curse.

That was why I used my ability on Grace. I wanted to see if she had any injuries that might have been close to healing that we may have missed - just to be sure.

But-- She doesn't seem to have anything?

I really don't get where Eleanor comes into this anymore!

I don't either...?!

Right. Exactly. Thus why I'm going to have to make it up to her a hundred times over.

Ohhh.

[just. nodding in understanding now]

There were other people there, but she was the only other one awake!

Because you were planning to kill me!

But I didn't, but someone else was out there killing Eleanor, and we're just going to let them go because of something I ultimately didn't do!!!

Wow, thanks for the distinction! That makes me feel so safe!

You just saw her awake, doing— what? Tell us what you saw, exactly.

Yes!

And you couldn't say this when I kept asking you if you knew anything...?

Because it wasn't relevant to what happened to Eleanor!

Tell me why it wasn't relevant. Give me an actual explanation, Misa. Were you expecting to see her awake? Was it not a surpise? Explain clearly. Were you going to target her?

[there is so much happening here but mineo's just going to stick by takeru while he's grilling misa]

I was, but it didn't happen, but someone else is still dead and they're going to get off without any punishment because you all chose to focus on something that didn't actually happen instead!

[MOUTHING, SILENTLY, "WASN'T RELEVANT???"]

You weren't ever going to do anything in the first place, though. I know I overreacted. I'm so terribly, terribly sorry.

I was going to! But I didn't! Because—
