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'll have to find you some later! They're worth real money!!

[ there's a long pause after that and a deep sigh. ]

......... Do I gotta again?

[ WHATEVER. she pulls it off, revealing the godawful purple bags under her eyes all over again. A grimace and she tugs a hand through the messy mask hair currently attempting to come alive all on its own ]

I know it's suspicious but......

[ Comfort item is comforting. ]

Not because your magic is electricity-aligned?

[personal profile] alitaba 2019-06-16 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ ????? ]

No....? My powers don't seem to be inclined to electricity.

[ unless it's like.... subconsciously showing up via static. ]

Air powers can have magic that's aligned to either air or lightning... so I was thinking, if your hair got like that because of static electricity...

[ ...maybe she was wrong...? ]

[ she tilts her head again ]

It's possible.........? I haven't done it consciously if that's what you're wondering.

[ she's too sneaky for lightning ]

[ ...

and just like that, her shoulders relax and she lets out a tired sigh. ]


Sorry... for accusing you and putting the pressure on you like that. I... just wanted to make sure... that we weren't missing anything.
