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!

You're being difficult.

[she sighs]

People think it might've happened in more elemental areas, right? Or somewhere with foliage...

But that man could use his plant manipulation abilities anywhere - even by the garden and the koi pond, or houses.

[if hisoka tainted the garden we have to stop hanging out there immediately]

[well,]

[oh no]

Should someone ask Sol, then? Or wait until we have the body results?

Is there harm in asking...?

[give ty work]

All right.

[ once shess returns from talking to sol: ]

Wherever he was, there was grass. Where else could we find that? The water area?

The farmlands, too, maybe...?

We can ask.

Yes, there's some there and in the air area.

I thought so. I heard leaves, too - but I thought the air area was more rock than grass.

It is, but there are many trees and the like.

He could use it in air. He shoved me off a cliff there.

[ HE'S PRIORITIZING ]

Our abilities are stronger in the elemental areas. But as long as we have time, there's no reason not to check those places too.

So... A group for the garden, and a group for the Earth area?

Are those the only places around with plants?

If he could manifest them anywhere, maybe we should see if there are options...

I think they'd be the first places to check, at least. Did you have any other ideas?

[ he nods ]

We can branch out after we check the most likely places.

If Lune says there's a point to it, I can take the Earth area if anyone wants to come with.

I'll go.

[ he needs to do something other than sit around and wait ]

[After she talks to Sol—]

Looks like it's the farmlands. If anyone else wants to come, speak up.

May I come as well?

Sure thing.

I suppose so... At least we can eliminate places like the Fire elemental area since I don't think plants grow there...?

[she doesn't

hang out around the fire area much

does volcanos have plants]

It's a desert. There's no point in checking there.
