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!

[ JUST. GLARES AT HISOKA FOR A SOLID MINUTE.

then kara's going to go find a quiet spot so he can try to figure out what to do with tsurumaru's shards. the sword's too broken to repair, so he'll have to settle for trying to clean the blood off the pieces of the blade with a rag.

the clown has all the information, sorry guys. ]
nonbelligerent: (your seven years. 6-1)

[well shess is not looking forward to this conversation but here they are

aka he's slowly approaching kara.]


Ookurikara. Lune suggested that looking at Tsurumaru's sword may help us find the killer.

Would it be possible to look at the pieces before you clean them?
unfriendliest: (not in the mood)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2019-06-08 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ookurikara likes you and your cat hoodie, but no one is allowed to touch this sword. his glare turns to shess, and for a minute, he doesn't move at all.

then he simply. closes his eyes. ]


No one touches it.

[ but he will let you all look at it, if it means finding who did this. ]
nonbelligerent: (the return. 3-6)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-06-08 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[he nods.]

I understand. And if you're willing to examine it, then that's also more than enough.

[but okay time to throw questions at the mods now ig]
unfriendliest: (why can't i uninstall emotions)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2019-06-08 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ a nod. he'll wait to clean it, then. ]

...I'll do what I have to.
nonbelligerent: (the return. 4-6)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-06-08 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[okay, after the modly answers

kara will be the first he tells.]


It's not just blood. There's paint along the edges of his sword as well.

[ he's been trying to avoid looking too closely at the pieces, but now that he does... ]

Paint...?

[ he looks up at shess. ]

The one he was fighting... Maybe they took paint from the festival.

[ that's the only place he can think of where someone would get it. is there paint anywhere else in this village? ]
nonbelligerent: (the night it rained fire. 19-1)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-06-08 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps. Do you mind if I bring this up with the others?
unfriendliest: (thinking too much)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2019-06-08 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he nods once, and rises to his feet to go, too - just in case the others need to see for themselves. ]

[ don't mind him standing over here. ]
unfriendliest: (absolutely not)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2019-06-08 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[ once he realizes feral is here, the glare will turn to him. ]

If you have something to say, then say it.

[ or. you know. gesture or whatever. ]
papawolf: (And leave the rest unspoken)

[personal profile] papawolf 2019-06-08 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[










just going to offer him another cloth without saying or gesturing anything. ]
unfriendliest: (@ god why)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2019-06-08 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ...oh.

he stares at the cloth for a moment, before wordlessly reaching out to accept it.

thanks, i guess? ]
papawolf: (☾....)

[ don't mention it. ]
