week seven: trial

Week Seven: Trial
9 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, Squall, Kaoru, Grim Eyes and Milla'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 less this week, looking back at Lune for a moment before they square their shoulders and face the participants again.

"It's going to be harder this week than last, especially with so few of you. But I'll be handling things today, so...please ask for whatever you need. I'll do my best."

✩★✩

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the seventh 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!

TALK TO SOL...about general stuff

[cyclists]

[Sol will be available for general questions today, sitting upright in their chair and patiently waiting.]

[nonbelligerent]

Sol, were any of the deaths the result of a role?

[cyclists]

No.

[leaberator]

Yo.

[ he hands sol a sandwich. ]

There any corrupted among the dead?

[cyclists]

Yeah, there were. [He's taking that sandwich thank you.] Maybe more than you think.

[nonbelligerent]

[also—]

How many were corrupted this week, including the dead?

[to piggyback off of axel's...]

[cyclists]

[...ah.]

...four.

[blackcoats]

Is number of killers a question we ask now or later...?

[ i irl don't remember and i never will ]

[blackcoats]

. . .

Also, the winning condition we know about. Are... you and Lune counted with us now, for the last person remaining?

[nonbelligerent]

Can I get something to clean my blade with?

[since val. used it to cut open milla's mouth.]

[cyclists]

[...softly but with feeling:] Gross. [But yeah, he hands over a cloth, a blade-polishing kit, disinfectant, whatever Shess needs.]

[nonbelligerent]

Can I ask which elements any power usages or manipulations were from?

[cyclists]

Um...I think it's a little too early for that. [Looking at past trials that always seems to be a noon thing please correct me if I'm wrong.] But some investigation will probably answer that.

[leaberator]

[ here's another sandwich. eat!!! ]

So. How many killers have we got, an' how many corrupted?

[cyclists]

[THANKS.]

Four killers. [So haha.] Three of your killers were corrupted.

[whitewalls]

Did anyone change their powers or elements?

[cyclists]

Not this week, no. Everybody's still the same as they were last time.

[nonbelligerent]

Did any of the corrupted cooperate with one another this week?

... Though I suppose that's not something you can answer.

[televised]

Is the fire region outside of the gateway still irrelevant?

[whitewalls]

[ wanders back....... ]

Sol, if I use my power on someone, would they be able to say if they were affected or not? Or is that part of the secret as well?

[nonbelligerent]

... Would you be able to confirm if someone has been affected by an ability or not?

[televised]

Can Lea and I look at the village?

[whitewalls]

[ and she's back ]

Ookurikara want to know if you can summon the toy car I have.

[televised]

Can we undo what I did to Lea?

[nonbelligerent]

[also i hate this but mira fuckin told me to]

Would it be possible to hand Valvatorez's belongings to me?
