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!

[ he stares at the feathers ]

He was keeping those on him?

[ why. why was he like this ]
nonbelligerent: (your seven years. 7-2)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-06-29 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
It certainly feels as though he wanted to be caught.
leaberator: (how do you know what's good for me?)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-06-29 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
What, like... we should've made everyone turn their pockets over?
nonbelligerent: (twisted bird. 11-1)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-06-29 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, he was wearing something else last week, unless he just kept transferring the feathers between pockets.

[ he stares at shess like he hates that this isn't outside the realm of possibility ]

Are they Kazuaki's feathers?

Unless someone else put them there.
leaberator: (two bros chillin' in a hot tub)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-06-29 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Like the other killer? Since we know two people were involved with that.

[ there's a long pause ]

Can't believe someone willingly worked with him.

[personal profile] foodbin 2019-06-29 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Me neither. But... I wonder why they would do that. It's not like it isn't common knowledge there were two people who killed him.
leaberator: (the fuck? the fuck is in the air)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-06-29 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ well. there's also. ]

Were those Kazuaki's feathers?

[CHIMES IN]

No.
leaberator: ("daddy"? do i LOOK like--)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-06-29 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
... I dunno if that's better or worse.
coastal: (✧ so this was a bad idea)

[personal profile] coastal 2019-06-29 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
With that man?

For some reason, I imagine it always becomes worse.
leaberator: (how do you know what's good for me?)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-06-29 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
... Yeah.

Someone who knew he killed the bird kid.
