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!

Did you not just insist during the strip search that others remove their garments?

Cinnabar, I am happy to turn this responsibility over to others. [In fact, she's already looking around for someone. Please. Anyone.] I will remove myself as long as the task is completed equally.

That's different...

[Milla is, at least, patient.]

It is not.

I do believe what you say, but it must be confirmed. Please tell me what the easiest method would be.
globs: (i will never fall down)

[personal profile] globs 2019-07-13 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
It would be easiest if you would just listen to me. You really think I could hide anything incriminating in my clothes?

[ there's not much there... ]
tothemaxwell: (and i've met my match)

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-07-13 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Milla shakes her head.]

I do not know. But the point of this check is to discover that—just as you instructed Akane.

Please cooperate—it will take but a moment.
nonbelligerent: (lies for you. 1-3)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-07-13 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[uhhhhhh]

Do you need help?
tothemaxwell: (she's a bomb)

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-07-13 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[There is clear relief.]

Shess!

Yes, by all means.
globs: (in the waves ive lost every trace of you)

[personal profile] globs 2019-07-13 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
She wants to touch me. Tell her I'm not carrying anything.
nonbelligerent: (the night it rained fire. 19-3)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-07-13 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
... Sorry, Cinnabar, but it isn't fair to exclude you from the check.
globs: (what is my fate?)

[personal profile] globs 2019-07-13 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[ LOOK OF FAINT BETRAYAL. ]

...

[ how could their only living homie do this to them... ]

... Are you going to do it, then? Not her?
nonbelligerent: (lies for you. 12-1)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-07-13 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
If you would prefer for me to.

Try grabbing their wrist really hard. That's the right way to convince someone, right?
nonbelligerent: (the night it rained fire. 19-3)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-07-13 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[.........]

Cinnabar, please apologize to Akane.
globs: (whatever i feel for you)

[personal profile] globs 2019-07-13 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
... I don't have to listen to you.

[ they love you but also, no ]
nonbelligerent: (your seven years. 5-4)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-07-13 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
You didn't need to use force on her like that...
globs: (why don't you open your blue eyes?)

[personal profile] globs 2019-07-13 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
You're right. So I stopped.
nonbelligerent: (twisted bird. 12-4)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-07-13 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Stopping doesn't change the fact that you did it in the first place. That's what apologies are for.
globs: (darkness has surrounded baltimore bay)

[personal profile] globs 2019-07-13 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
... Don't talk down to me. Just because I'm not as old as you doesn't mean I don't know how apologies work. She can have one when she earns it.
globs: (how could you be the one)

[personal profile] globs 2019-07-13 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ..........

holds their arms out....... FINE.

but they don't actually have anything on them. The rock was telling the truth. Also, they're going to fucking combust in humiliation at being patted down. Please be gentle. ]
nonbelligerent: (the return. 4-4)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-07-13 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[cinnabar, please,]

You're clear. Sorry for the trouble, Cinnabar.
tothemaxwell: (bad news)

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-07-13 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you, Shess.
globs: (if someone knew about this lie?)

[personal profile] globs 2019-07-13 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
W-whatever... Enough already.
