week five: trial

Week Five: Trial
18 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, 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!

[Ice knife, get.

She approaches the animal, too, and she's going to make a piece of ice materialize in its mouth (without touching what's already in there) to try and prop it open enough that Shess can see whatever it might be. Sorry, shark.]
nonbelligerent: (the night it rained fire. 19-4)

[IS ANYONE GOING TO LOOK AT THE SHOVEL

but shess approaches, one hand in his pocket for some reason. he won't try and grab the thing immediately, instead again waiting to see if the shark attacks, but if it doesn't, he'll gently try to retrieve it...?]

[ okay, cool. since the shark can't attack like this, kara will let emma and shess handle this while he goes back to take a closer look at the shovel. is it damaged in any way? any blood on it? ]

[She'll just be here, holding this ice knife and making sure the shark can't bite Shess' hand off while he grabs the hair ornament.]

You got it?
nonbelligerent: (the return. 4-4)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-07-13 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[ornament, get!

he takes out his hand from his pocket, at least, to just. pat the shark's teeth. there, there. but now he's leaving, bye.]


Yes. Should we return it to the ocean now?
unfriendliest: (absolutely not)

[ well that gave, like, no clues at all but thanks. not that kara appears all that bothered by this; he simply gives shess a nod. ]

If it doesn't have anything else, there's no reason to keep it here. What was it?

[She'll wait to remove the ice until the shark is safely back in the ocean so no further chomping will occur, but she gives a nod.]

Yeah, go ahead and put it back.

[And then she's giving another glance to the area to see if there's anything else notable around.]
nonbelligerent: (the return. 3-6)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-07-13 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[then, with a sweep of water, back to the ocean the shark goes. farewell...

he'll go and look at the non-knife ice pieces. anything about them?]
