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!

[ Lady Lili "SCREAMS EXTERNALLY" An is happening ]

Why wouldn't we be gentle........

[coastal]

Some idiot over there just told a little girl who wanted to color about death.

I don't trust any of you.

[compendiem]

What's wrong with telling little girls about death...

[coastal]

Case in point.

[compendiem]

It's an important life lesson... I think. Nothing he said was wrong.

[leaberator]

No, he's said a lot of wrong things.

[whitewalls]

[ nods her head ]

[compendiem]

What did he say?

[leaberator]

Anyone ever tell you about tact?

[compendiem]

Hm... yeah. I don't have much of that. Tact is difficult.

[coastal]

Just because you can say whatever you want doesn't mean you should. I normally don't care about propriety, but there's such a thing as trying to protect the mind of a child or at least easing into a difficult discussion.

Even if it's important, it's alright to be gentler about it.

[compendiem]

Hm... Kazuaki's pretty gentle, I think. We can trust him.

[ He's going to be crying and freaking out the entire time, maybe, but they have no other translator? ]

[coastal]

[there's a frown]

... we can try it, but if you upset the bird, Ookurikara is going to be even worse.

[FAIR WARNING]

[compendiem]

He's going to be worse at what?

[ Minato is willing to try it. ]

[nonbelligerent]

Perhaps we should obtain Kazuaki's consent first before discussing all this.

[moonprisonpower]

[ minato no ]

Someone here has sense.

[compendiem]

Who?

[ not Minato ]

[moonprisonpower]

You, presumably.

[compendiem]

Presumably.........

[leaberator]

[



saix thinking minato has sense is legitimately too funny for axel to contradict him ]

[moonprisonpower]

This isn't the time or place for coloring.

[ he's not stupid ur stupid!!! ]

[coastal]

That's not what I was disagreeing with. Listen when people are speaking.

[moonprisonpower]

Coddling isn't protecting.

[ also im slow on mobile]

[coastal]

Offering more than four words when explaining death to a child isn't coddling.

Just admit that you're a jerk and go.

[moonprisonpower]

Ignoring the situation at hand to play is.

But I never pretended otherwise.

[ he'd leave if he could!!! ]
