Week Two: Trial
24 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 the glass boxes perfectly centered before the benches in the room. Now that the trial is in session, Kazuaki and Fujino'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. Lune begins to speak, but Sol beats them to the punch.

"You guys can do this. Just...remember that, okay? Even if it seems impossible, you have to stay focused. Work together."

They stop, glancing at Lune and gesturing for them to say their piece.

"Listen to each other. I have faith in you."

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the third 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 focuses hard...!!

a liquid that looks very much like water forms in lili's hands, just like when she demonstrated it last week]

[coastal]

[ . . . hm]

... Swift Wind, is this truly poison?

[it looks very? water? to her?]

[compendiem]

Do you need me to drink it?

[specialdog]

Rejected!

[papawolf]

[ no! ]

[coastal]

Not until we know what kind of poison it is and get provided an immediate antidote.

[SO IT'S LIKE

NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION

BUT]

[compendiem]

We can ask Lune or Sol for an antidote. Or I could throw it up.

[televised]

Let's try smelling it first, alright?

[coastal]

Go see if we can get an antidote.

And then I'll drink it, because I'm not letting you drink from my hands.

[gross]

[leaberator]

No.

[papawolf]

[ sniffer dog is here. do not hit him this time please.

let's sniff it! ]

[coastal]

[that's fine

it






smells like water]

[papawolf]

[ so he'll just hold his arms and form a "X"

Not poison! ]

[coastal]

[ . . .

she's staring at it like she's thinking about drinking it just to confirm]

Are you sure?

[papawolf]

[ giving a nod. ]

[foodbin]

So. that means...

[Bad!]

[papawolf]

[ yup and he's not really happy about it ]

[compendiem]

...that Swift Wind doesn't know what poison is?

[televised]

... Some poisons are odorless. Are you absolutely certain?

[papawolf]

[ he's about to respond but...

gestures at lili already mcfucking drinking it. ]

[hashtaghelping]

It is.

[he looks at her earnestly.]

I wanted to make poison, and it appeared. That's how it's supposed to work, right?

[coastal]

It should but...

Can I ask you to make something else? Cyanide?

[hashtaghelping]

I don't... think so? I just used the power to make that stuff in your hands, right? I can't make any more.

[coastal]

[ . . . ]

Someone get me a bowl. I'm going to try to make two kinds of poison.
