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!

[ Akane just. Stands there playing on her phone, being uncooperative, because she usually has Minato check her when he's, like, awake for trials. So. ]

...Can I look you over, or would you prefer someone else?

[ she does not even look up. ]

Someone else.

[ and offers zero suggestions for who she would accept. great. ]

Okay. Who?

[ she shrugs. ]

Akane. Come on.

What.

It's going to be easier for everyone, including you, if you cooperate.

I don't have any injuries.

[ there, is that cooperative enough? (no.) ]

Then it's not going to be a problem if someone else confirms that.

Except I don't feel like taking off my clothes.

[ and as per usual she has a hoodie and tights on, so. great. ]

Nobody does, we're doing it because it's important.

[ hm, sorry, that's not gonna fly today. ]

Akane. Emma can check for you, if you need someone.

Pass.

[ Cinnabar, after watching this go on for a minute or two, slips on their black gloves - then, approaching slowly, they reach out and grab one the wrist holding her phone. Firmly. They're made of rock and weigh about 1300 pounds - it's like getting trapped in a stone wall. ]

Do it, or I'll make you do it.

Oh good, it's you.

[ And she can't wrench away from that grip, so. Great. ]

Sure, whatever.

Namine. I don't know what to look for, anyway...

[ not letting go tho... ]

Then let go of me.

Are you going to actually listen?

I'll be with her. Let her go.

[ so they can go to the not as nice screen ]

[ Anyway Akane will willingly strip for Namine and she has zero injuries except the one on her arm from like week 2 that's healing up regular. She just hates all of you. ]

Edited (names???) 2019-07-13 20:49 (UTC)

[ valid and fair ]

Akane is fine. We can leave her alone now.

Sure. Namine's my friend.

[ Unlike the rest of you. ]

[ lets go!! ]

Enjoy your friendship, then.

[ fuck u ]
