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!

Sorry.

[ but they do the required stripping once they're safely out of sight from everyone... although there's not really anything to see. The crack on their face and the ones on their arms and leg are all things Shess has seen before. ]

... Did you get hurt like that on Thursday?
globs: (waking up in a world surrounded by flame)

[ some guilt washes over them for not noticing - for not asking. They can't do anything right this week at all. ]

Does it still hurt?
nonbelligerent: (your seven years. 6-1)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-07-13 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm fine. Don't worry about it, Cinnabar.
globs: (where are you?)

[personal profile] globs 2019-07-13 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
You say that like it's so easy.

[ they shuffle their shirt back on. ]

... I hate it when you get hurt.
nonbelligerent: (the night it rained fire. 20-2)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-07-13 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I've dealt with worse.
globs: (your white skin)

[ ... ]
