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!

[ There's a flash of some kind of emotions that crosses her face before Four closes her eyes. ]

Miki and I are Comets. Are you happy?
tothemaxwell: (she's a bomb)

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-07-14 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
I'm relieved.

Thank you, Four. Can you go into detail on your roles?
forefall: (the boredom of your gaze)

[personal profile] forefall 2019-07-14 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
What do you want me to say?
tothemaxwell: (and ready to drop)

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-07-14 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
Clear yourself, Four.

Then the only ones who haven't will be Julius and Akane.

You asked me if I was asked to do my role this week.

... I was given an assignment.
tothemaxwell: (and i've met my match)

[ah...]

Four, do you know anything about what happened to Miki?
forefall: (but is it not enough)

[personal profile] forefall 2019-07-14 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...

She looks down. ]


Yes. I was with her.

[personal profile] televised 2019-07-14 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
... Did you see her death?
forefall: (lockets without relics)

[personal profile] forefall 2019-07-14 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
... I... I saw the shark bite her.

The shark bite isn't what killed her.

[ considering the top is still screaming? no. ]

Tell me right now Lili's the one who broke Miki's neck.

Why do you think that?

...Then if it wasn't her, it was you.
forefall: (to the sound of music)

[personal profile] forefall 2019-07-14 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ She's in tears. ]

She was too far gone... She asked....!
leaberator: (THAT'S MY OPINION)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-07-14 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Because if it wasn't her, you're the only other option!
forefall: (all winter will possess my being)

[personal profile] forefall 2019-07-14 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
What else was I supposed to do? I didn't want her to suffer any longer!
leaberator: (the fuck? there's white shit everywhere)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-07-14 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Just tell us what happened!

[ preferably ten minutes ago when this would mean anything ]

If you both were sent to kill Lili An, and it wasn't her, then who else would have snapped her neck?

Why kill your fellow Comet, unless you had something else to hide?

[personal profile] forefall 2019-07-14 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
I just wanted to.... I was scared to admit my role because... if someone's corrupted, it makes me a bigger target since...

[ Her role is what it is. ]

... No, I understand. It's sound logic. You made the same decision others would in your place, I'm sure.

Go easy on her—
