week seven: trial
Week Seven: Trial
9 in Competition
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!

forest gateway
Shess and I checked out the forest area in the gateway. It was... pretty trashed. There were gouges and indents in the ground, and a lot of trees were completely knocked over. It looked like something heavy moved through the trees, and there was a spear stuck in one of the trees... It was Grim Eyes'. I think she must have thrown it at a target, but it was pretty high up. I found what looks like a wheel from a toy vehicle, too.
[She holds up both the spear and the wheel for anyone to see.]
It looks like there was something dragged through the ground. Whatever it was, it was heavy and pretty wide. Along with the gouges there, there was blood in the path they made. The blood trail stopped right outside one of the trees, and it looked like someone bled to death inside of it.
I think the only other thing is... There were some prints around the trees, but I couldn't really tell what they were. It looks like the dirt was moved around, so they might have been hidden or obscured.

Do you still have the toy car from a few weeks ago?
no subject
[ which is. true she has never had it when they've done item checks. ]

Can you ask Sol to get it for you, then?
no subject
That's fine.
no subject
Was there any sort of trail that could have led somewhere else? The footprints maybe - could you tell which direction they were going?

If it's what I think it is, it should have been able to fly. We just need to know which direction to go from what you already found.

The spear hit high up in the tree, so if it was aiming at something... [Hm.] Once I was up there, I didn't look around too much after I had the weapon.
