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!

Injury Check

[omegathree]

Considering it seemed Julius was fighting his assailant and Cinnabar was trying to use Rock and Roll to fight of theirs, we should do an injury check.

Sol has given us a privacy screen. Use it if you must.

[specialdog]

Valvatorez-san.

[ He said he would check her. ]

[omegathree]

[He did, and he's bound to his word. Always.]

Come along, lass.

[He assumes she wants to use the privacy screen.]

[omegathree]

[As usual Val doesn't have any shame, so he takes off his jacket, shirt and pants. His legs remain fine. His upper half still has some burns, but they're considerably better now. There's a new bandage on his right shoulder.]

[tothemaxwell]

What is this, Valvatorez?

[nonbelligerent]

[well, sure.

again, shess doesn't need the privacy screen, though underneath his clothes he just. has a lot of bandages. you're going to have to ask him to remove them, since he won't be doing it right away of his own volition.]

[tothemaxwell]

Are these from last week, or this?

[unfriendliest]

[ this is fine. as usual, kara doesn't bother with the screen, and strips in front of everyone. no new injuries, just some old bruises and that cut on his arm from a few weeks ago that are all well on their way to healing. ]

[tothemaxwell]

[Milla don't need no screen, and as ever, there isn't much to remove!

There's no injuries. She looks the same as always: a bundle of furious muscles.]

[televised]

[AS PER USUAL, North doesn't exactly look comfortable with the idea of stripping for anyone.]

You only found red blood. Is this necessary?

[omegathree]

What color do you bleed?

[leaberator]

[ he gestures at emma ]

You up for it?

[ like last time but also this week there are fuckin memory shares so just in case she'd rather pass ]

[foodbin]

[She gives him a nod and a small smile.]

Sure thing. Go for it.

[blackcoats]

[ anyone is free to check her as she goes behind the screen! she just has hella cat scratches. ]

[whitewalls]

[ she has a nasty burn from her side down to her legs, but it's a few days old.

other than that, nada. ]

[twinsightful]

[Bold of you to assume this dumb twink has done anything useful this week. i.e. no injuries!]

[lionharts]

[ strips behind the screen. squall doesn't have any injuries besides a couple of cat scratches. ]

Re: Akane

[omegathree]

[He clearly... doesn't like having to say this, but here we go.]

Akane has black smudges and stains on her arms underneath her hoodie as well as on her legs. When I asked, she said it was probably mercury.

[leaberator]

[ ...well. ]

... Ah. [ doesn't. look that shocked, but. he sighs ] She tell you why?

[nonbelligerent]

[...

well then.]

[televised]

[... well, then.]

[whitewalls]

[ she just

looks over at akane ]

[blackcoats]

"Probably"...?

[tothemaxwell]

[Hm]

Akane, do you have anything to say for yourself?

[papawolf]

[ He only has cat scratches from Minato's angry cat

But everything else is the same ]
