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!

in the gentlest possible way: ]

Yeah.

[coastal]

... I know you want to have faith in people, but you need to be more mindful....

[compendiem]

Why would he kill Kazuaki when there were three of us there...?

[nonbelligerent]

Three of us?

[compendiem]

Kazuaki, me, Akane.

[autocatalysis]

Three of what, exactly?

[compendiem]

Three of... what? Us?

[autocatalysis]

Yes. You said who 'us' is, but what, exactly, is 'us'?

[ coalition of the neets or something? ... honorary neet in akane/minato's case? ]

[coastal]

... I'm not entirely sure it was him, even if the odds are stacked against him.

But if it was, that's a question only he or the other person who harmed Kazuaki could answer.

[compendiem]

[ Lili believes in Hisoka!!!! Minato looks happy? He's happy ]

...Yeah, you're right. I'll keep believing in him too.

[coastal]

No, you're incorrect. I don't think he's innocent either.

[compendiem]

But there's a possibility that he is. And you can't discard that until you know for sure?

[foodbin]

Please don't.

[compendiem]

[ ): ]

You don't believe in "innocent until proven guilty"?

[blackcoats]

[ damn minato... why you gotta make her feel this... when it hits really close to home

she may or may not sneak a glance at lea because of this. it depends on what side he's on relative to her? i hate playing fucks with one eye ]

[leaberator]

[ it's not a lie it's just not saying the truth, damn

CONSPICUOUSLY LOOKING AWAY ]

[compendiem]

[ he was betrayed, Xion ):
but then two seconds later he speaks with Lili and he's full of HOPE
there's going to be emotional whiplash all throughout the trial, sorry ]

[blackcoats]

[ it's fine he's gonna be getting some horror feels right back

fuck that boss fight ]

[moonprisonpower]

Yes.

[ minato doesn't need to be told this by saix on top of everyone else telling him but here he is to be a blunt douche ]

[compendiem]

Why would he do that...?

[ Why would Hisoka not tell him he murdered his partner in cold blood?? ): why ]

[moonprisonpower]

People lie. It's a fact of life.

Also, he's Hisoka.

[compendiem]

People have the option not to lie...

[moonprisonpower]

That doesn't mean they will take it, especially in a situation like this.
