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!

Is there any form of proof you'd accept that isn't a demonstration?

We were.

Yes.

[ and north can have a small earthquake under her, too, sure. ]

Looks that way.

[

he'll wait ]

... Look, if the kid doesn't feel comfortable sharing it, that's his business. But I've seen him use it.

[ he's already outed someone and got stabbed today that's like? enough outing for today? ]

[ looks at julius ]

Apparently, that's what they discerned.

The ability to change one’s element has been earned - however it has not been utilized.

However, chosen powers have been changed.

Was the door locked or barred in any way?

There was dirt in Swift Wind's hooves, so we're assuming it was.

[can you imagine if it was a moose instead.]

[ he gives a nod at that to confirm. ]

There's dirt everywhere, though...

[

stares]

Other side of the room.

When have they changed?

[ She's diligently writing. And then she taps her pen against the paper. ]

... Akane would be lightning. All the air users are dead. Or that's what I've heard.

[ ... ] It's taken us so long to get this all out in the open. I wonder how much easier it would have been from the get go if we'd had all of this information after the first trial.
