week three: trial

Week Three: Trial
22 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, Swift Wind and Hisoka'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. It's only when everyone has gathered that Sol speaks first.

"We've got a lot of ground to cover today. Don't give up."

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

"Face the truth directly, and don't turn away from what you may find."

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the fourth 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!

Glad we got that out of the way so that no one else can get the idea to try the same.

I don't know. Even with being able to hover, he can't go too high. We didn't clear a ton of air when we were in battle a few weeks ago. But it would explain the location of the bindings. [Hm.]

That seems even more cruel then. Tying someone up just to kill them later. He would have to know what was coming.

Right. It could be anything. Maybe he fell face first in a water trough.

[ god she hopes he fell face first in a water trough. ]

Pick something real to be angry about. I wasn't insulting him. I was worried.

He was concerned about hurting others. So I respected his wishes.

[ Joke's on them, Saix and Swift Wind are just morons. ]

Maybe they wanted him to know.

We know that the Corruption can infect anyone, and no one remembers what they did when under its influence, but there may be people out there who hold grudges regardless.
moonprisonpower: (on whom we depend)

[personal profile] moonprisonpower 2019-06-29 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
It was what he wanted to do.

Oh my god, you idiot.

[YOU FOOL? YOU PEON?????? SHE'S DISTRAUGHT.]

We've gone over this repeatedly. You don't wake up on Thursday night unless you're involved in a murder somehow, or you have an item that lets you stay awake. It's how Kazuaki realized he was about to be targeted, remember? What were you thinking?
moonprisonpower: (i'm going to change trust me)

[personal profile] moonprisonpower 2019-06-29 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. He was overcome by guilt.

[ I. She. ]

And what if you were dragged along with this as well?? Then we'd have three bodies and you'd have gift wrapped yourself for the killer!

[ Just??? ]

You could have tied him to something, if you were that determined to respect his wishes. The bed frame, the door, something bolted down. It might have made it harder for the killer to drag him off too!

[ She has a lot of mixed feelings about hearing about the horse and this in general. Sorry, Shirasu. ]

... Was he fine when you....

[ Tied him up. ]

[ he's not going to say he laughs because that's horribly inappropriate and disrespectful even when it's hisoka they're talking about but

there is a stifled, some sort of noise in the back of his throat that may or may not resemble a politely withheld laugh. ]
moonprisonpower: (SAIXOR MOON)

[personal profile] moonprisonpower 2019-06-29 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
It amounted to nothing.

[ in the eeend it didn't even matter, etc ]
coastal: (✧ ur sketchy af tho)

[personal profile] coastal 2019-06-29 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
It wasn't his fault.

[but she knows that she and naminé are on the same page on that]

So - what? Someone who wanted to take matters into their own hands?

We'll find out what happened to him.

Assuming he was targeted by the corrupted... Well, I can't imagine the darkness is too happy about him surviving the purification. Maybe whoever did it just found it funny.
