WEEK ZERO TRIAL

Week Zero: Trial
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!

[ whispers into my hands "get better soon"...

Minato joins her at the table and pulls up a chair. ]


Hi, Mary. Will you teach me how to draw chickens?

I dunno that everyone's gonna be in the mood to draw, kid.

[ please get off the table ]

Are you going to draw with me? Ooooh, what will you draw? Draw something nice?

[Maybe someday she will learn to read the room.]

[even swift wind does not have the heart to correct her



but also:]


I do a lot of things, but drawing isn't one of them. Could you teach me?
withsadness: (096)

[personal profile] withsadness 2019-06-08 04:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! I'm very good at it!

[She's, I mean, you know. Passable for her age. But she beams and passes him some of her swipes art supplies.]

The feathers are very important.

No one really mentioned anything I didn't see, or seemed surprised by what I was saying when I talked to them yesterday.

[...]

So, probably? We should probably compare them now, though. Who wants to go first?

[She'll give you a heckin hug, is that what you want, Lea? She stamps her feet giddily and all but pounces on him, wrapping her arms around his shoulders.]

It's always a good time to draw, because whenever I'm frowning, it turns my frown into a smile again!

There are only so many ways to remove something.

But all right.

[personal profile] compendiem 2019-06-08 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Passable for her age is still better than Minato, whose idea of chickens will the a circle, a triangle for a beak, and as detailed feathers as he can manage.

He goes with the white colored pencil and the black one. ]

[ because of this update there will be a five minute period where axel is unavailable during trial because he's in a corner of the meeting hall pretending like he isn't trying to muffle laughter ]

[ as long as you know he's pissed off about that comment. ]

...Where is the sword?

[ he's not planning to waste much time here - but he will be back to kick sol's ass for this later. ]

[personal profile] withsadness 2019-06-08 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes!

[...she looks at his hooves.]

It might be a little hard. But challenges can be fun, right? Like a game! A game!

[ Four's grumpy because someone wouldn't dance with her earlier this week, and now she looks like.... stuck, but she is trying her best to not sound annoyed. Haha. ]

The victim... underneath a tree, the sounds of a beast, metal, too much screaming.... the inevitable end. It was gruesome. I'd rather not have another dream like that.

It started with a man underneath a tree. Can't tell if before that he was running and ended up getting cornered there, or if he was just relaxing until something happened across him, but.

[She likes it, though, and kicks her feet when she finally manages to sit herself down. Mary giggles.]

Look, look, you need to give him an eye! Right here!

[She helpfully points out the spot where it should go.]

That way when he greets his happy friend, it'll be, um...it'll be very nice!
leaberator: (you have to say that you're fine)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-06-08 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ IS THAT THE REASON SHE CLIMBED THE TABLE? NOW HE'S GOT AN ARM FULL OF CHILD? i only got one hug icon so you're getting it ]

Woah-- [ he hadn't expected the jump but luckily lea is stronger than he fucking looks, the twig. ] Yeah? Sounds like a good plan. How about this: you draw with everybody that wants to, but you ignore the people that don't wanna, alright? This probably seems nuts to you, but some people don't like drawing.

[ this is bad parenting because all he does is indulge. ]
