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!

[Oh. Okay. He'll just kind of turn around because he was actually going to reply to Four.]

Yes? [Oh. There's cloth, and to consolidate with the thread I have with Ara:] May I borrow that for a moment?

[He'll just hold it up, glancing at it and also pulling it apart and stretching it?]

So...know anyone who wears stockings? [Stretchstretch.] Same material.
coastal: (✧ that's strange)

[personal profile] coastal 2019-06-08 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
... what are stockings...

[this is why she keeps kaoru around]

[...this is the most useful he's going to be.]

They're elastic-y undergarments? [Trying to use words Lili might understand.] People wear them under skirts and dresses to cover their legs. Some of them only come up to the knee, but others come up to the hip. The transparency varies but they all are fairly easy to snag if you aren't careful which seems to be what happened here.

[So...] It appears our culprit may be someone who covers their legs then. [Which has already been namedropped but whatever.]

I see...

[guess other people will have to start looking at people's legs]

Thank you, Kaoru.

[her dictionary is excellent and well-chosen?]

[ That was indeed very informative. ]

Thank you.
