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!

[ he's still here if you change your mind ]

[ anyway, now that namine has taken xion away for Some Reason? ha ha, weird?

axel worldlessly takes off all three of his ridiculous shirts in public just so that's over and done with! he has no injuries. if by injuries we mean anything new, because his chest is a mess of obvious burn scars all over, as well as a huge, jagged scar on his waist that goes through half of him like he was fucking cleaved in half.

haha! fun times. those are definitely survivable wounds, maybe. ]

You gonna accompany me to the privacy thingy for the pants too, I guess?

[ not that he wants to, but ]

Yeah.

Greaaaaat.

[ off they go???

im not saying what underwear he's wearing ive drawn a line he's not injured!!!! and he's putting all his clothes back on!!!! ]

[ thank god this is over with fast

once they're done here he'll report to milla so she'll leave lea alone ]

He's clear.

[ this is a hate crime ]

[he's a little turned on by the scars ngl]

[ I GOT THAT FROM THE ICON THAT'S WHY THIS IS A HATE CRIME ]

[ saix was too late to conveniently block hisoka's line of view :( ]

[ he's there belatedly, it's a coincidence ]

Hello again.

I'm starting to think you like me. ♣

I'm just standing here.

[ it's unrelated. ]

I can see that. [:)] I suppose I don't mind looking at you, too, if you're so eager to stand in my way.

Is it so difficult to keep your eyes to yourself?

[ saix is setting himself up here ]

It is when you keep standing where I'm looking. ♥ If you wanted my attention, you could have just asked.

Nobody wants your attention.

[ he's only down to clown with one clown, sry hisoka ]

Oh, it seems someone does. He's always there when I turn around.

[saix has two hands]

[ no. ]

Don't flatter yourself.

[well, his assassin husband has better hair anyway. and soulless, void eyes.]

I'm not.

[ please leave him out of whatever it is you guys are doing? ]

[ geez axel, did you mate with a chainsaw??? 7/10 ]

[ that is not too far off a guess actually ]

Gracious.

[but it's all old injuries

hm]

You know we're mainly looking for Water or Air culprits, right?

[ he knows that's not the only possibility because 3 killers 2 powers but like let him live ]

Of course. But others are not out of the question.

[Her eyes linger on the scars for another moment—then she inclines her head.]

However, nothing you have borne so far is of any consequence to today's trial. On the contrary, I feel as though I should apologize for pushing you into an uncomfortable situation, even if it was necessary.
