week one: trial

Week One: Trial
27 in Competition

It may be difficult to sleep with the light shining so brightly throughout the night, but the participants can rest easy knowing they will not be plagued by unwanted, disturbing dreams. Early the next day, a bell chimes and all will feel compelled to enter the main meeting hall.

The hall looks mostly the same as it always has, the two thrones for Lune and Sol at the head of the room and scrolls hanging from the walls. The metal box sits on a table near the front, along with a glass box perfectly centered before the benches in the room. Now that the trial is in session, Tokidoki, Nana, and Junna's coffins are open, and their bodies will be available for examination.

Lune and Sol are seated in their thrones, patiently waiting for the last participant to settle. Sol remains quiet, looking over to Lune to allow them to speak first.

"Even if it is a rather daunting task ahead of you, I hope that each of you will not lose hope. One step at a time, one step at a time. It is not hopeless."

When they finish, Sol sits up a little taller in their seat to address everyone.

"I'm only going to say this once. I know it's not an ideal situation, but...the votes count, and the universe only gives one warning. Can we try not to repeat last week?" There's a pause. "You have nine hours. Let's start."

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the second trial!

We'll go over a few notes briefly as we will be playing this trial a bit differently than other games.

As noted, there was no investigation period on Friday. However, today participants will have the chance to investigate areas in the game setting as they see fit! This can be done by providing the name of the location you want to visit to the host header comment. To help with the ease of the trial and for IC mechanics, only one location may be visited at a time. In addition, these locations can be manipulated and adjusted upon request to test theories and solve puzzles, so please feel free to ask if you're searching for clues! Your host will also be accompanying you on these visits.

Most importantly, before the trial is over, please place your character's vote over on the voting page. Voting will close at 9pm EST/6pm PST, and will serve as our activity check for the week, so please be sure you get your vote in before it ends unless you have contacted us previously.

If you have any questions at any time, please let do us know by pinging us on Discord! Dana and Ty will be in the chat and available for all questions. Thank you, and have fun!

She was fire-aligned... And she was testing out her powers the other day. She burned some of her hair.

[ they're trying to be helpful. ]
leaberator: (what's better than this?)

[ ???????????????????? wait ]

Lune said none of the victims were with Fire.

[personal profile] globs 2019-06-15 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ?????? ]

Huh...? She told me she was "practicing her magic," and that it didn't go as planned, and that's how she got burned...

[ now that they think about it, she never actually confirmed that she was fire... ]
leaberator: (this is the dollar store)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-06-15 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
But she didn't actually say she was fire, right?

[ he can see what happened there ]

[personal profile] globs 2019-06-15 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
... No.

[ looking down at their feet. They fucked up!! ]
leaberator: (i sentence him to 10 years in prison)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-06-15 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Makes sense. Someone tells me they got burned with their element, I'd assume fire, too.

[ or like, lightning, which in this place is the same deal ]
globs: (we are shining in the rising sun)

[personal profile] globs 2019-06-15 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
When I guessed that she was fire, she didn't say yes or no.

[ did she not trust them? Cinnabar can't exactly blame her for that. ]
leaberator: (hang out or... something...)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-06-15 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe she didn't wanna be too obvious about it until she thought she could protect herself.

[ that helps absolutely no one to say axel ]

... I don't understand the point of keeping them secret, anyway. It's not like it matters.

... Did she tell you she was aligned with fire? Because Lune confirmed none of the victims are fire-aligned.
globs: (just to get some attention from you)

[personal profile] globs 2019-06-15 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
... I guess she never actually said it. She told me she got burned practicing her magic, and when I guessed she was fire, she didn't confirm or deny it. So I assumed...

[ fidget. ]

S... Sorry.

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-06-15 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't be. I made the same assumption at first as well.
globs: (i'm supposed to say?)

[personal profile] globs 2019-06-15 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ hhhhhhh

they blink in surprise when Shess stands up for them, then look vaguely flustered again. Why is he like this!! ]
nonbelligerent: (lies for you. 12-3)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-06-15 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[ :) ]

[... she sighs.]

It's fine. Shess made the same assumption.

Okay...
