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!

Was the door locked or barred in any way?

But you didn't notice the lock being tampered with at all...? Were any windows broken?

No, I think Minato was right.

...About which part?
moonprisonpower: (her back on a friend)

[personal profile] moonprisonpower 2019-06-29 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
That he was poisoned before curfew. It would explain why he was was still tied to me, and why there was a feast of apple-related items along with a glass of cyanide. Swift Wind was probably tricked into drinking poison by the feast.

—Oh.

[She sighs.]

God dammit. And I'm guessing nobody noticed who he was with beforehand? Who saw him last...?
moonprisonpower: (i say i hate you)

[personal profile] moonprisonpower 2019-06-29 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
.... He had eaten, before curfew. He mentioned that he was full, and that his stomach hurt a little from the food. It was just as we were knocked unconscious, so I couldn't process it.

[ but actually from the poison to kill swift wind, swift wind's poison, that poison ]

He didn't mention anything else about what he was doing?
moonprisonpower: (she is the one)

[personal profile] moonprisonpower 2019-06-29 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
..... No. We had been arguing about him wanting me to tie him up.
leaberator: (the fuck? the fuck is in the air)

[ ......hmmm ]

It'd explain the prints, too.

... Shit.

[bad!!]

Did someone erase their own prints from the scene somehow, then? Without counting the farm animals— How the fuck were Swift Wind's prints the only ones at the scene?
leaberator: (how do you know what's good for me?)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-06-30 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Uhhh.

[ he has his gummiphone out and takes out the picture he took of the messed up prints ]

They went back an' erased them, looked like.

[personal profile] televised 2019-06-30 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
Of course they did.

Would earth manipulation be able to do that?

[ he looks just as surprised as emma? ]
moonprisonpower: (is that saix is a jealous bitch)
