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!

... It made a noise with Minato incessantly. What does the item consider trustworthy?

[ If it considered Minato untrustworthy? ]
whitewalls: (like it's just begun)

[personal profile] whitewalls 2019-07-13 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
It might depend on its definition of trustworthy? We don't know what falls under that...
forefall: (a funereal urn awaiting a few tears)

[personal profile] forefall 2019-07-13 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Is there any way to find that definition? I want this to help us, but...

[ If it's general, then ??? ]
whitewalls: (with the weeds of the sea)

[personal profile] whitewalls 2019-07-13 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure, especially since we're not even in that area anymore so it's not like we can go and do research.
forefall: (but is it not enough)

[personal profile] forefall 2019-07-14 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
I wish finding an answer could be simpler.
globs: (if you're not the same)

[personal profile] globs 2019-07-13 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[ they don't want to consider this. ]
forefall: (that you are a semblance)

[personal profile] forefall 2019-07-13 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
My apologies, but it's a question we must answer, if this is to narrow down....

[ Whatever they're trying to find with this. ]

Minato considered Hisoka trustworthy after he pushed him off a cliff. It might've just been screaming at his life choices.
moonprisonpower: (but she only cares)

[personal profile] moonprisonpower 2019-07-13 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe those cards Hisoka gave him affected him.

[ but yea he agrees he also wants to scream at minato's life decisions ]
forefall: (and your eyes alluring as a portrait's)

[personal profile] forefall 2019-07-13 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
... I think many of us have made... interesting life choices.
leaberator: (no one will ever be able to hate you)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-07-13 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he stares at her for a second and hums before shrugging ]

Fair enough.

... It did get louder when I ran into him in the village on Monday, too.

[ so, unless it was reacting to someone else who was around in the village at the time or something. ]

... Were you doing something untrustworthy?

[ Or is the item just defective? ]

[ bemusedly: ] I had a cat with me? [ but completely sincerely: ] I think it might just be entirely too general, considering I highly doubt Minato was responsible for any of the previous murders here, and both he and I apparently set it off.

Part of my work back home involved keeping secrets for a living, as well as some duties that would likely be considered unsavoury. That's probably enough to be deemed untrustworthy in this thing's book. Unless its definition has changed between then and now, I'll tell you now that I'll probably trigger it when we run checks on everyone.

Maybe the blue kid was corrupted and it sensed that.

Haven't we caught all the corrupted up to this point, though...?
forefall: (o heavens!)

[personal profile] forefall 2019-07-14 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
... Would that be an item that could do that?
