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!

Alright.

[ they can go behind the privacy screen!!! Lea's got the same amount of bandages as last time because it's been. a week and a half. he is still stabbed. ]

[Once she starts undressing, there’s a burn mark on her shoulder that looks several days old, and a few fading bruises around her abdomen.]

...Dragons.

Yeah, I remember seeing those before.

[ does he mean dragons or the wounds? haha ]

[Knock knock lovebirds]

I must admit to being uneasy about a pair of close lovers checking each other.

[ wow ]

Did you just knock on a privacy screen?

Yes. It is polite.

You don't have to knock. This isn't a door? We can hear you?

Fine. Next time, I will simply holler over the top of it.

[You Are So Rude]

What do you mean, holler? It's a screen! We're having a conversation through it right now!

This is an irrelevant conversation. We are investigating a murder.

[DON'T @ HER]

Okayyyy.

[ @ her ]

[She gives a small shrug.]

If you want to look me over, I don't mind, but... [Awkwardly clears her throat.] Maybe don't call it that, he might explode.

[ >:T ]

We are literally dating, I'm not that bad.

I would like to personally look over both of you.

[she's not moving from behind the screen until permission is given, though]

Go wild, I guess?

[She gives a nod in agreement.]

[and thus does milla slip behind the curtain to join them, investigating their naked bodies without actually touchin' em]

Bandages off, please. I will re-wrap them if you like, or Emma can.

Emma, burns and bruises.

[She turns so Milla can see more easily; she doesn't have any other injuries other than what's described above.]

How did you burn?

It was when we were trying to destroy the machines and get past the dragons and vikings.

Do you have a partner who can vouch for you?

(no subject)

[ throwback to when val stabbed him four times on his tummy

it's fine they are stitched over and healing. slowly. he misses potions so much

He also has a sweet tattoo that says "Axel Killed Me, Signed Julius".

god I fucking wish. there's nothing ]

Very well.

[hm]

Would you like me to re-do your bindings, or Emma?

[ a beat ]

Yeah, let's not play touchy-feely during memory share week.

My thoughts exactly.

I will leave it to Emma.
