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, Shirasu, Lili, Miki and Minato'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.
"Nine hours. Don't forget."
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 fifth 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!

LOCATION INVESTIGATION
AIRSHIP
As they do this, the area in front of them will seem to rewind. They'll watch the color of the sky change from bright and then return to the darkness that cased over everything on Thursday evening.
A glance back to their exploring party and Sol will incline their head to gesture forward:]
Watch your step.
[A good bit of advice, really, given that they'll enter the gateway near the airship and find the ground littered in debris and no airship. Have fun.]
no subject
He'll kneel to the ground and look at some of the debris. Do they look like airship debris? Like they're part of an explosion?]
no subject
yikes
she'll do the same as val, but walking a little further out so that she's not just looking in the same exact place as he is. ]
This is...
no subject
Are there any traces of, like... The sheep thing that was in the area during the week...? ]

WATER AREA

A glance back to their exploring party and Sol will incline their head to gesture forward:]
Here you go.
[They'll linger behind and let the others go forward, and as they approach the sand they'll immediately see three sets of footprints.]

GAY BABY JAIL
As they do this, the area in front of them will seem to rewind. They'll watch the color of the sky change from bright and then return to the darkness that cased over everything on Thursday evening.
A glance back to their exploring party and Sol will incline their head to gesture forward:]
Go ahead.
[And the first thing they might notice is that the door looks like it was broken into. Hm.]
no subject
[ someone else can go look at the stupid door and see how it was broken, axel's stepping into gay baby jail because he's been there before and i'm not sure anyone else in this party has so he can see if anything is immediately different ]
no subject
[ Four does not know what the insides of that house look like because she said she didn't want to see him again, and so she didn't.
She takes a look at the door. What can she notice about how it was broken? ]
no subject
[ while four is looking at the lock, saix steps into gay baby jail as well to examine the surroundings. generally whatever axel's not looking at. ]

FIRE REGION
As they do this, the area in front of them will seem to rewind. They'll watch the color of the sky change from bright and then return to the darkness that cased over everything on Thursday evening.
A glance back to their exploring party and Sol will incline their head to gesture forward:]
This should be kinda fast...
[Because as they enter the fire region, they'll be greeted with small amounts of Minato on the ground, leading forward.]
no subject
She's immediately so fucking tired.]
Do we want to pick that— [uh] him up?
[She regretted her bucket suggestion the moment she saw how many Minato bits there were, exactly? But she steps forward, looking at the ground as she moves. Anything of interest beside slightly melty boy pieces?]
no subject
[Which is why she stares at the Minato bits she encounters. It's a bit difficult to gauge how an unusual piece of exploded person looks like, but maybe it'll be noticeable?]

SHRINE

A glance back to their exploring party and Sol will incline their head to gesture forward:]
Watch it. [Because on the path leading up to the shrine there's a bunch of broken lanterns. Great.]
Re: SHRINE
[Milla outright frowns. Shrine desecration. Literally how dare they.
Nimbly hopping between the shattered lanterns, she moves forward to the Shrine proper. Can she tell how they were broken?]

A glance back to their exploring party and Sol will incline their head to gesture forward:]
I think the chickens are okay this time.
[In fact? The farm looks really normal. Weird?]
no subject
... Whatever was leaving that glittery stuff everywhere should have passed through here.
[ they step carefully around any planted crops, looking for any sparkles as they begin heading towards the barn. ]
