week six: trial

Week Six: Trial
14 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, Julius and Cinnabar'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. They hesitate, looking back at Lune for a moment before they square their shoulders and face the participants again.

"Lune's going to be here to supervise, but I'll be the one taking care of things today. I know things have been kinda tough, but…trust your instincts and ask for whatever you need. I'll do my best."

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the sixth trial!

Things will proceed as normal, but for this trial and the next all NPC interactions will be via Sol while Dana is out of town! This means questions and locations will be handled by them.

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!

[yo.]

The door of Julius and Grim Eyes's house was kicked in.

There were three sets of footprints leading to the air area, but one separate from the other. That fits in with what we know: one of our victims had two attackers, while the other had one....?

I drew the footprints down, if need be.


[he holds up his notepad. anyway,]

Milla and Akane's door was slightly open, as well. I think that was it.

There wasn't anything out of place in Milla and Akane's house?
nonbelligerent: (lies for you. 12-1)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-07-20 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
No. Well, I don't know what the usual state of their house is, but I didn't notice anything odd.

It wasn't kicked in like Julius' and Grim Eyes' door?

Not that I saw.
leaberator: (the fuck? the fuck is in the air)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-07-20 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm. Where did the footsteps start?

Julius's house. One set heads towards Milla and Akane's house, but then they all head for the air area.

Nothing was out of place this morning, but... Milla said she was doing favors so she could stay up during the night, last week. If she didn't use it last week, maybe she did this week and left the door open?

I have not yet accomplished my task for Sol, unfortunately. You may check that with Valvatorez, Shess, or Sol himself.

But it was a good thought, Akane.

[personal profile] specialdog 2019-07-20 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Then you didn't stay up to see anything... That's too bad.
tothemaxwell: (stand back)

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-07-20 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
No, not yet, and that is my own fault. It truly is too bad.

It's not your fault. The favors they ask for are always tough--and always rely on needing other people.
