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!

[It's familiar and awful and Val's thrown back to a time 400 years ago. The last time he was unable to save somebody he should've. But this time, maybe they're not too late. This time maybe somebody will be able to save them instead of Val having to deal with somebody he loves dying while he can't do anything about it.]

Y-You... You're going to be alright.

[His voice breaks.]
leaberator: (ow fuck i can't believe you've done this)

[It's fine it's fine it's fine. If he keeps thinking that to himself maybe it actually will be.

Cinnabar will feel a stab of murderous rage in between all of the feelings that this is incredibly familiar and the worst thing that Val's ever experienced.]


You'll make it.

[And if he says it, that will make it true.]

Of course you are. I won't forgive you if you die now, Lea.

[He still sounds like he's going to break down. His hands are shaking. One is on Lea's shoulder like he just needs something to ground himself.]
leaberator: (wow... the land of make believe)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-06-29 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha... can't have that, Vally.

[ please don't ground yourself on him he's gonna just sit in his corner and wince at everything ]

[Yeah... He's not going to move from Lea's side. His touch is surprisingly gentle- but he's reached the end of his emotional rope. Tears are starting to fall.]

Exactly. Don't lie to me.
