WEEK ZERO TRIAL
Week Zero: Trial
31 in Competition
31 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 a glass box perfectly centered before the benches in the room. Now that the trial is in session, Tsurumaru's coffin is open, and his body will be available for examination.
Lune and Sol are seated in their thrones, patiently waiting for the last participant to settle. Before Lune gets a chance to speak, Sol draws everyone's attention.
"Yesterday…something really bad happened. The instability of the core has manifested into something bigger than we thought, and it's hidden among us. Today, it'll be your job to find it, and determine what to do with it."
They gesture to the open space between them and the participants then.
"Lune and I will help you as much as we can. But the final decision is yours and yours alone."
With that said, they settle back in their seat.
"Oh. And you have nine hours…let's get going."
Incidentally, anyone who did not dance with their partner during Wednesday's party will soon find that they are now sharing a new article of clothing. Congratulations.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the first trial!
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!

LOCATION INVESTIGATION
EARTH;
As they do this, the area in front of them will seem to rewind. They'll watch the color of the sky change from bright and then return to the darkness that cased over everything on Thursday evening.
A glance back to their exploring party and Lune will extend their hand:]
Everything should now be as it was.
After you. I will be in your company as long as you wish to search.

Regarding the Body
Whatever attacked Tsurumaru didn't have a weapon. His torso has been torn open with claw and teeth marks and that seems to be the primary mode of harm the attacker used.
His right arm is nearly detached, but it's the only limb that was left in that condition. It's likely that he was fighting off whatever was attacking him with that arm.
There are also some claw and bite marks on his legs, though nothing as severe as what happened to his upper body.

PARTNER STUFF
I'm about to say something and you can't repeat it to Hisoka.
[in general don't repeat what lili has to say to hisoka but apparently this one in particular]
Has anyone talked about the 'intermingled fates' thing they mentioned on Wednesday? I asked Sol about it and he told me that basically our existence here is tied to one another, to having another person around. So if Tsurumaru is gone and someone here is responsible, and that someone has to be removed...
[she frowns]
... there's a power that lets people reforge those bonds, but it can only be used once by one person, and groups of three can't be forged.
Just so you all know.

FOREST INVESTIGATION INFO
Anyway, the forest group returns. Kara won't talk to anyone because he's too busy crying over pieces of a broken sword, and no one trusts the horse who ran head-first immediately into bear territory.
So here's the clown wearing Tsuru's alien goggles. He slides them off slowly and dramatically, but keeps holding them between his fingers, idly wiggling them.] We're back. â™ Did you miss us? [Like they had went on a joy stroll.]
It seems as if my late wife had a terrible accident in the woods. [He doesn't even sound sad.] Ookurikara has all the pieces of the dowry. There was a lot of blood. Very scary. Maybe he used his sword to fight what we saw?
It was a bear. ♦
no subject
Tsurumaru was wearing those earlier this week.
[the goggles, that is.]
We learned that two air-aligned powers were used. Did you seen any sign of what they could've been?

clothes check
We can all acquire clothes to change into, but I would like to check just in case. Are all your clothes in tact?
Or do any of your recognize this as part of something someone else has worn?
[ Four will take either. ]
no subject
I don't wear anything like that! Or anything at all, so uh, you know...
[he makes a shrugging motion with his wings]
For those of you who do wear clothes, what kind of clothing does it feel like to you?

SUMMARY
Thursday night, someone here got corrupted by the darkness and ended up causing Tsurumaru's death. We have to figure out or something bad will happen, and whoever we vote for is... getting "eliminated".
[ he looks very... blank... at that but let's MOVE ON, FOLKS, THIS IS CLOWN SUMMARY ]
Ookurikaru, Swift Wind and Hisoka went west and found the source of Tsurumaru's death, which was... a bear. Technically speaking. It was wearing these sunglasses. [ he. points to them sitting on minato's head if that's where they still are, I guess. ] They also found the guy's broken sword, which had some blood on it and some paint along the edges. And then twenty minutes later Hisoka remembered he found a piece of brown cloth in the trees and now he can only talk in censorship, so I guess that's a lesson learned for everyone here.
[ is it necessary to point out that part? no? he did it anyway. he waves that off ]
Besides all that, Sol said two powers from Air were used that night. We know one of them had to be Tsurumaru's, so the other one has to be from whoever did it.
[ also lili told everyone about the person who can make new partnerships because when your partner dies you die, but said not to tell hisoka so you only get this info in bracket text ]
Everyone's got it memorized? 'Cause that's about all we've got.

Your partner is also currently under suspicion, I'm afraid.

Tick Tock
Everyone. We have a mere hour remaining to make a decision.
At the moment, as much as it may pain some of you, our culprit seems clear, whether they remember their actions or not. However, your vote is your own choice, and no one else's. Each of us must decide on what we feel is right.

RESULTS;
Another chime of the bell resounds at the end of trial.
Lune and Sol will look at each other briefly, then to the rest of the people gathered. Suddenly, their body language shifts as they're brought to attention and face the scroll that was unfurled over Tsurumaru's coffin. The words announcing his death are overtaken with black, as if ink has suddenly dripped over the entire surface of the scroll.
The blackness suddenly recedes, revealing the following words.
Mary was corrupted.
The Corrupted will be taken to be purified. Deliver her spirit by tomorrow, when the sun is highest in the sky, by separating it from her body on this plane.
The Corrupted must be removed from this place to be saved, else the Core grow more restless and more will be overtaken by darkness.
Participants who placed votes for themselves, the guides, or failed to write a name in protest be warned: you were not invited here to be sacrificed, but failure to participate in weeks to come will be answered with removal.
You are moving forward.
The message will remain even as a dark aura begins to emanate from Mary....
Following the Corrupted's chance to speak, they will be led to a new house that is created for their containment, identical to the houses that the rest of the participants reside in, encased in a faint light that will intervene in the chance they try to harm anyone else.

She screams, scrambling out of her seat, tripping and falling, hard. She crawls, struggling, trying to get away, but from what, she doesn't know. It's hopeless, isn't it? Everyone decided this.]
But I didn't do anything, I didn't, I swear--don't do this, don't do this to me! I don't want to burn all up again, I, I'm sorry! It wasn't me! I've been good!
[It's just before she reaches the door that she sways, stopping, a blank, almost trance-like expression covers her face, and darkness bleeds from her like it's alive.]

EXECUTION;
As the morning rolls in, a quiet unsteady feeling fills the air of the village. The light around the Corrupted's confinements remains faint, keeping its power in tact for a bit longer.
The moment the sun reaches the highest point in the sky, a faint bell chimes and all will feel compelled to return to the main meeting hall.
When all are gathered, Lune and Sol will enter the room escorting Mary. The corruption slowly seeps from her as the Signs bring her to the front of the crowd.
Stepping aside, Sol leaves Lune to speak.
"On this day, we must cleanse the darkness that has manifested in Mary. As none volunteered to perform the execution, I will complete the task.
Child, please step forward."
Even if it's phrased as a gentle request, Mary will find herself without much choice as the light that encased her home will encourage her limbs forward if she does not comply.
