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!

[hmm]

The scroll and the bottle.

Are those rewards from tasks?

[ Four nods. ]

The bottle should be recognized by Akane and North. The scroll.... Minato could have confirmed, if he...

Yeah, I recognize the bottle.

[She shakes her head. No point further traumatising her.]

It is fine. I have a similar one myself.

But what is... this?

[the nail file.]
forefall: (what makes the hero weak)

[personal profile] forefall 2019-07-13 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a nail file. I... like to maintain my nails when I can.
tothemaxwell: (i'm on a mission tonight)

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-07-13 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm? What is its purpose?

[what the fuck is beauty regime]
forefall: (o heavens!)

[personal profile] forefall 2019-07-13 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
To smooth out the edges of your nails.

[ is milla going to get a beauty regime now ]

[She stares at her own nails.]

Whenever they got too long, the Four simply help me to trim them.

When I was a human, however, I just cut them off with my sword. Why should you need to smooth them beyond that? They seem an excellent last resort for fighting.
forefall: (eyes raised heavenward)

[ She scrunches up her face because that offends her on a visceral level. ]

I don't like my nails to be all scraggly or rough or ugly. It's awful. What you do is up to you, but my main form of combat is hand-to-hand.
