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!

[Furiously:]

Shut up, we don't have time for you to be a moron right now!

[ this is timey wimey because saix is definitely on the murder shirasu train sorry four ]

It is true.

[ that's like the nicest thing he can say so he'll leave it at that ]

[ Four, somewhere a few feet away, screams and drops to her knees and holds her head. ]

No!
tothemaxwell: (that blonde)

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-06-29 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[ah.

she recognizes this one.]


Well done.

[She says it out loud to no one in particular.

But the pressure of her blade does not ease up—on the contrary, Shirasu's attempt at evasion succeeds in driving it in, drawing a small cut.]

[He's.. stripping his crush. god. At least the worry overrides most of the embarrassment.

Anyway, he's quick at pulling the hoodie off.]

[personal profile] compendiem 2019-06-29 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[ NO

it wasn't a joke ]
moonprisonpower: (i'm going to change trust me)

[personal profile] moonprisonpower 2019-06-29 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[ yeah that happened and some ppl voted for him ]

He also scratched Axel because he wanted to mark him.

Does that sound very sane to you?
unfriendliest: (who asked you)

I'm not letting a murderer go free.

[ he's not backing down, least of all for north. ]

[She's helping! But as she does:]

Is he going to be alright?

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-06-29 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[well, he'll do as miki asks, even as he shoots increasingly concerned looks at the shirasu pile-on that's probably happening like. very nearby.]

Go take a nap.

[WRONG TIME, MINATO.]

Hm.

[ Akane is? Trembling a bit? But it's fine, she's fine, whatever, don't worry about it.

Her voice is even, at least. ]


Isn't this going to make it harder to get information from him?
televised: (007)

[personal profile] televised 2019-06-29 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Then vote for him if we can't find the corrupted. If you kill him now, then more people will die tomorrow — and it'll all be your fault. Do you understand?
moonprisonpower: (winning love by daylight)

[personal profile] moonprisonpower 2019-06-29 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't think so.

[ what did we learn, minato? anything? anything at all. ]

He also lied to you. We have proof of that.

AXEL!!!

[ SO LIKE. WHATEVER WE CHOOSE TO DO. xion is hysterically sobbing and screeching bloody murder at the top of her lungs, trying desperately to escape naminé's grasp so that she can... enact whatever retribution she feels is fit for someone who just stabbed her best friend in the back. but she doesn't, because she doesn't want to hurt naminé, and deep down, she knows that hurting or killing him won't fix a damn thing—

so after a while, she'll tire herself out struggling and screaming, and just limply fall to her knees.

have a whole whirlwind of out of control replica feelings, minato ]
tothemaxwell: (and i've met my match)

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-06-29 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[She shakes her head.]

I will not, even as I understand your feelings as deeply as my own.

We will have our opportunity to take his life after the trial. But for now, we should focus on finding the corrupted one.

If we do not find them, then we have one who will suffice.

[He's currently being cut cut cut.]

[personal profile] compendiem 2019-06-29 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
It's weird though... It doesn't seem like it'd be very fun to lie to me. I'm not angry, or upset, after all.

[ Just sort of disappointed. Sad. ]
wagashis: (look at this graph)

[personal profile] wagashis 2019-06-29 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[He shuts his eyes briefly at the pressure of that blade, at the sting of that cut; he wants to get away, but he doesn't want to die, he doesn't want to--

So it does get him to hold still, his breath a shaky exhale. He's still clinging to his dagger, though he doesn't dare to use it; it just drips blood onto the floor.]


Let me go.

[It is nowhere near as forceful as he'd usually like it to be-- more a plea than anything.]
tothemaxwell: (and i've met my match)

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-06-29 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Milla is also trembling, with........ well, it might be rage.

Be a shame if her sword were to

slip suddenly eh]


If we know he is the guilty party, that will suffice for now.

[Answer, yes.]

Naminé, you don't have to look.
