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!

no subject
[ but he heard her talking earlier, and it's a good opening for him to find out what he needs. so he asks: ]
...You like to draw, right?
no subject
Drawing...drawing is my favorite. I like to draw all of my friends, so I'll draw you.
no subject
[ then he'll nod, stand, and offer her his free hand so they can go. he's not currently holding tsurumaru's shards. as they walk, he hesitates before asking: ]
...Do you like to paint?
no subject
I like anything pretty and colorful. I don't have any crayons...
no subject
Do you have a favorite color?
[ please, don't say red. ]
no subject
[It's fucking red.]
no subject
It's mine, too.
[ and once they find the paper, and some pencils, he sits down next to Mary. ]
You said you like sunshine. You can draw us somewhere outside, with lots of sun.
no subject
[She still seems on edge, but she starts drawing, anyway. Kara and Mary holding hands and surrounded by flowers, under a big smiling sun!]
no subject
Have you been to the places outside of the village? [ after a moment, he adds, ] Do you have a favorite?
no subject
[But a favorite, favorite?]
The water is really nice.
no subject
I don't mind it. My magic is fire.
[ just. putting that out there. he won't ask her to go with him. ]
Is your magic... water?
[ please be water, he's heard talk about air magic and he doesn't want this kid to be the one who broke tsuru ]
no subject
No, I just like it there.
[...]
Don't set me on fire, okay?
no subject
I won't. I promise.
...Will you tell me what magic you have?
no subject
no subject
[ after a moment, he'll add, ]
Mine is too dangerous, but maybe we can find a game to play with yours.
no subject
Oh! Oh, like flying kites?
no subject
If that's what you want to do.
[ somehow he manages to work up a smile despite knowing the answer to this next question could break him as completely as tsuru. ]
Does that mean you have air magic?
no subject
no subject
he looks across the hall to where he'd left tsuru's shards, but. they'll have to wait a little longer. ]
Then we'll make some kites, and go fly them up there together. Does that sound good?
no subject
[I'm weh. :( ]
no subject
even if she's right, and he didn't actually want to be friends with her. but that was because he didn't want something like this happening - for all the good that did. ]
Then we'll go, as soon as they let us.
