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!

First of all, my name is Swift Wind, not Stupid. Second, am I or am I not standing right here in front of you after touching your poison or whatever? And I'm just fine! So, uh, a miracle is happening. Believe it.

Stop it... How can I believe it's over just like that...? Did I have to lose everything else first...? I...

[swift wind takes it back he no longer wants to be a therapy pony]
We're not gonna be stuck here forever, you know? We're gonna find our way back home. So, like, all those people back home? They're waiting for us. You didn't lose everything forever. It's gonna be okay.

They feel like they don't deserve this, being freed from their poison, for nothing, for free. ]
I... What do I do...?
[ and they're forcing this stranger to listen to their pathetic wallowing, now, too. ]
no subject
[do rocks need to breath? the horse doesn't know. but it's calming, supposedly, so he's going to urge them to do it.]
I get it, this is probably all very new and weird for you. You went your whole life trying to avoid people 'cause you didn't want to hurt them, and now all of a sudden you don't have to. But just 'cause it's weird doesn't mean it has to be bad.
no subject
I...
[ they got read so instantaneously by this big horse animal who barely knows them that they're almost mortified, but they're too shocked to be properly embarrassed over how easily he was able to pin them and their lifestyle. ]
I know... It's not bad. But...
[ ... they shake their head. ]
I can't... I need to be alone for a while. Leave me alone. [ a shuddering breath. ] Please...

[well.
swift wind gets up and trots a little in front of them, then settles down protectively. cinnabar has a guard-horse for now, up until they're feeling better. no one will get to the rock on his watch! no siree!]
