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 told me that the ones who killed the bird were trying to frame Four because she could be dangerous. I guess he knew that because... Well, he was involved.

I might as well say it now, he was obsessed with Four the week leading up to her stuff being used.

... The more we learn about him...

Did that come up during the trial...?

What?

[ She's disgusted. ]

He was trying to convince me you'd been corrupted.

Because of the animal thing?

What?

Uh. Shark. Bear. Animal thing.

... Because she was mad he hid evidence?

What?

[ it feels like Minato's brain is still broken, I'm sorry Zia ]

Why would he.... I've only talked to him once.

[ During the first trial.

She's confused. ]

What did you say to him when you did...?

Do you remember when he went to investigate in the first trial and he said he conveniently forgot he found a piece of cloth? It was then and then I told him I wouldn't abide the vulgar things he said.

[ And then he got censored. ]

I don't know. I don't understand anything about how that guy works.

I don't want to ever understand how he works.

[ ugh ]

I think he just liked people standing up to him.

[yeah you'd know, wouldn't you partner]

[ pot, kettle called. ]

... Liked is one way to say it, sure.

With what evidence?

Ugh— Why was your partner such a fucking creep?

[bad! clown!]

Was the obsession abrupt? It sounds like it could have been a power or item, if it was... Though there's only one I can think of that would come close.

[and that's. gross.]

It wasn't like that. He had... his reasons.

... Everything we learn about this guy just makes me more relieved he's dead.

[sorry, axel.]

Same.
