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!

[This is... extremely gross.......... North looks visibly disturbed as she continues onwards, following the trail. Do the pieces look scattered about like they fell off while someone was moving around, or more like they were purposefully dropped on the ground in one clear path?]

... This is so fucked up.

[It's a bit unlikely, but is there any blood? Like drops or trails or anything?]

The blue kid didn't deserve any of this.

[ Cinnabar, meanwhile, stoops down towards a piece of glitter... is it just regular ass glitter? Either way, they try and pick some up to bring back later as they head towards the volcano entrance. ]

[... Hm.

And there's still no blood to be found on the ground around the area where the trail stops, right? North will glance around in the immediate vicinity, trying to pick up if there are any footprints or any hint as to the killer's presence around here.]

[Better look for something that could indicate where the possible killer went to afterwards, then. Time to search!]

[ well, cinnabar now has glittery pocket sand.

The trail might stop at the volcano, but Cinnabar goes in through the archway, anyway, just to give the room inside a quick check. Is there anything visible immediately within the room? ]

... I can't find any footprints around here. And [uh] Minato's trail just stops.

[Which is fun! Since Grim Eyes is in the area and Cinnabar went a little further off, she'll call out—]

Did you two have better luck?

Nothing! Nothing at all!

[She sounds so frustrated about it]

[ "they can probably guess what may have happened" said ty, assuming i am even a little smart

anyway Cinnabar pops back out, shaking their head. ]


... There's nothing there. [ but!! they point at the trail of glitter, faint as it is. ] Do you see that? There's something shining... it's heading that way.
