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!

[ she stares at the results for a moment, her expression still grim. she was quiet for the last part of the trial after they decided what to do, and...

then she's suddenly smiling. ]

Make sure you say hi to the murderer one of you was probably covering for. They must be really happy!

[personal profile] televised 2019-07-28 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
Probably.

[STARES INTO THE VOID.]

Question: Does you guys always have to act like the most obnoxious villains?
whitewalls: (sunrise)

[personal profile] whitewalls 2019-07-28 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know.

Hopefully you'll be next so you can find out.

[personal profile] televised 2019-07-28 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Wow. I'm so scared.

[DRYLY.]

I'll text the real Naminé once she's on the other side. Later.

[SHE'S OUT.]

[ ... he sighs also ]

Terrific.
whitewalls: (you come around you come around)

[personal profile] whitewalls 2019-07-28 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ her smile looks almost fond.

almost. ]


Axel, will you do it tomorrow? You can finally make up for the time you were too much of a coward to kill me before.
leaberator: (in the world... it's a bananana)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-07-28 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... well, technically he got interrupted, but he's not gonna say that ]

Well, I think we both know the answer to that one, don't we?
whitewalls: (one more covered sigh)

[personal profile] whitewalls 2019-07-28 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe do it like you did with Vexen?

It'll be neat.
leaberator: (i don't have enough for ice cream)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-07-28 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
Nah. [ just? nah? ] Think I'll pass.

[ he sounds more sad than anything else ]
whitewalls: (i am chris this is my heart)

[personal profile] whitewalls 2019-07-28 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Just make sure it hurts.

But it probably will anyway, right?

[ she sounds very happy about that. ]
leaberator: (no one will ever be able to hate you)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-07-28 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
Dying always hurts. [ matter of fact. ] But I think it'd be more painful for her to be stuck like this.
whitewalls: (honestly you want to)

[personal profile] whitewalls 2019-07-28 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Her feelings never mattered anyway.

None of yours do.

...None of us are scared of you.
whitewalls: (and however much we try)

[personal profile] whitewalls 2019-07-28 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Really? But all you talk about is how scared you are of things ending poorly.

[ she taps her chin. ]

You act all brave when we show up, but during the week you all just cry about not knowing what to do.
whitewalls: (leave from heathrow at the dawn)

[personal profile] whitewalls 2019-07-28 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
You don't know anything.

It's all you complain about.
whitewalls: (try to find me)

[personal profile] whitewalls 2019-07-28 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, right. Let me tell you my grand plan now that you've caught me.

[ she just stares at him ]
whitewalls: (and the fact is)

[personal profile] whitewalls 2019-07-28 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
I know that you're used to dealing with people who aren't that bright [ she looks over at whoever is still hanging around ] but I'm not a moron, Sol.
whitewalls: (oh sunrise)

[personal profile] whitewalls 2019-07-28 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ she just shakes her head ]

It's funny how brave you always get at this part.
