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!

I think so. What exactly are you thinking though?

Assuming someone did use a lightning bolt in there: if someone was attacking you, dangerously, in a small enclosed space with something as deadly as a lightning bolt, wouldn't your instinct be to escape in any way you could?

[personal profile] twinsightful 2019-06-15 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah...I would try to either dodge out of the way or get somewhere they couldn't see me. If it's enclosed though there isn't a lot of places you can go, are there?

No. And if there's lightning bouncing around in there, your only option might be to flee outside of the elevator.

[ So, the next question is: ]

If you use Evaporeon, how long does it last?
twinsightful: (ALERT ♜ Oh?)

[personal profile] twinsightful 2019-06-15 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know, I'm not a water user. [Which Miki should know, actually. But that...] If you're controlling it, couldn't you in theory let it run as long as you want?

[ gosh what could he be. ]

... [ mrrgrrgrr. ] We can't even ask Sol or Lune for more details yet, if at all. They just look like they're going to implode while trying to tell us.

But can you really use them indefinitely? If you could go invisible whenever you wanted, wouldn't you just stay that way long term if everyone you know is a potential killer?

When I asked, they said it could last up to a couple of hours.
stillstands: (4)

[personal profile] stillstands 2019-06-16 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
Could? But not definitely?

...

[ She sighs. ]

It still doesn't tell us who would have attacker her though.
twinsightful: (THOUGHTFUL ♜ Lay it on me)

Maybe it depends on the kind of power. Some can be used more than others? That's what I would think given what's written on that scroll.
