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!

[the joke is

everyone was the first one to get a sexy hisoka tag

because hisoka is definitely taking off every single bit of his clothes until he's naked as the day hell spit him out onto the earth. BEHOLD but i advise you not to click that link ever it's an eye full of horror.

oh, right. there's a healed cut along the back of his neck and a healed stab wound on his right shoulder. but otherwise, he's got nothing.]

[... uh thanks hisoka. i hate you a lot right now, anna.]

What happened to you?

[he talks to shess as if he isn't standing there naked the whole time]

A swordsman. [He points at the one on his neck.] A vampire. [He points at the one on his shoulder.]

[honestly shess isn't disturbed which i also hate.]

I see you've been having fun, then.

A little. They were from last week, however. Sorry. ♦

[ he has two hands and they're immediately going to cover Xion and Namine's eyes while his are closed. ]

[ thanks ]

[ lea the real mvp ]

[clip-clops over there, not even batting an eyelash in his abs, and gets all up in his face]

How'd you get hurt?

A swordsman and a vampire. ♠

Yeah? How long ago? Can they confirm it?

Yes, if you ask them. It was last week.

Oh, okay. Carry on!

[he backs off because he is sure they'll chime in to refute this if it's not true]

I haven't had human blood in 400 years and I won't drink it until I've fulfilled my promise with someone.

So you're not responsible for that wound?

[EYEING HISOKA AGAIN]

He did cut himself while I was nearby, but that was his decision.

[uhhh]

Is he ... into getting cut?

I don't know. We haven't associated closely.

[god.]

[A smile.]

He threw me my dagger. Not very good aim, don't you agree?

What, you couldn't dodge? But you're so ... acrobatic!

[ WHY DOES THE CLOWN HAVE A 10/10 BODY ]

[ ........ Akane just. Turns around the face the other way. No thank you......]

[ nope. ]

You certainly are a suspicious fellow. I do not believe you simply would have accepted being injured.

Still, your willingness to acquiesce is helpful. Thank you.

[Would he, though? :) But hm. Her polite formality gets a response.]

You're welcome.

[whether it's sincere or not is kinda :shrug:]
