WEEK ONE: TRIAL

[retellers]

WEEK ONE: TRIAL (38 remain) Rise and shine, gremlins. Hopefully you found it in you to make and eat breakfast, despite yesterday's news. At 11am, everyone will receive a message on their PHS, simply stating: empoti enp emporium. by the strike of twelve. Shortly before 12pm, every participant will feel compelled to move towards the Emporium, if they aren't already there. No exceptions! Though they will have to navigate around shelves and merchandise and the like, everyone will fit neatly inside the room. Once all the participants are present and the clock strikes twelve, the doors lock behind them. Three of the Leaders are there with them: Swan, Tiger, and Goat. Tiger speaks. "You have nine hours. Try not to stab each other during them." ༶•┈┈⛧┈｡o°✥✣ 　　 ✣✥°o｡┈⛧┈┈•༶ Hello, everyone, and welcome to the second trial! For the next nine hours, the characters are expected to discuss among themselves, ask questions, examine the bodies of the victims, look over the evidence found yesterday, and revisit locations as needed in order to find the culprit(s). There'll be a one hour break from 5-6pm EST, where no mod tags will occur. Before the trial is over, please remember to 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 us know by pinging us on Discord!

WHY CANT PEOPLE READ SIGNS aka CURFEW SUMMARIES

[reconnective]

We knew ahead of time that if something happened on Thursday night all of the doors would lock. And people tried to tell us to stick with other people that night just to make sure we weren't alone, but I have a feeling some people didn't listen.

So...we should probably report where we were on Thursday night when all of the doors locked. Where you ended up, who you were with, and where you actually fell asleep? It might give us an idea where to start.

Oh, uh, and if anything was weird when you woke up? That'd be good to mention, too.

[bisouled]

I was in the ship's garden with Homura, Dorothy and Ochako. Um... it seemed normal enough while we were there, but when we woke up, we were all sort of... out of it.

[ she sounds chagrined. ]

[robopriest]

Out of it...how?

[He gives her a questioning look.]

Like dizzy? Or you all had a headache?

[infreefall]

[ nodding! ]

Right. I couldn't really focus on anything yesterday.

[misstrust]

[ A VERY SAGE NOD. ]

It was a very strange feeling... I feel like I might have been acting very bizarre.

[antaressnipe]

I fell asleep in my room, accompanied by Miss Usagi and Emet-Selch. I don't recall anything amiss happening, but I was asleep well before curfew struck.

[Because injuries]

[reconnective]

I'm glad you got some rest. You've been pretty busy lately.

[arkitect]

[just nodding to confirm this! horse dad on horse arrest...]

[stillnot]

I was at the railroad station by myself. Nothing seemed any different when I woke up.

[reconnective]

[just. this face.]

Come on! You were helping me make the signs that said not to do that!

[recrowns]

[hmmmm]

Clementine, did you experience any odd effects? Changes in your behavior? Or maybe injuries you couldn't account for before?

[suddenlybees]

[ somebody did not heed the signs ]

Why assume something's gonna happen Thursday? Out of everybody, I thought you'd have faith.

[heartablaze]

[She is... on the ground, looking like she hasn't slept in days, mouth moving but eyes locked on where Kano flutters around Sharon's body like she's about to just drag herself over any second.]

Um... I was in my room. By myself. Raven-san said he got locked out.

[Hi it's fine she's listening.]

[evocationary]

I was in my room with Taako, you and - fuck, what is his name. What's his name again?

Nothing weird.

[dawnblushed]

Cater and I were in the planetarium together - we wanted to try to stay up in case anything happened...

[obviously that didn't work.]

She... Well, she wasn't there when I woke up, but for some reason that didn't seem odd at the time. It was only after we found her that I realized it was. Other than that, I didn't feel strange or anything.

[recrowns]

Ah - actually, we were able to discern a few things from being out in the plaza. There were... a few of us out there. [to which he looks a bit guilty] Myself, Ange, Blanca, Alex, Hansa, Alyssa, Yoshizawa... and Goat.

[the goat was a surprise]

We knocked on all the doors for inside locations while we were out there - could everyone confirm they weren't able to hear us communicating?

In addition, I wanted to verify that when you are outside on curfew, it seems we are confined to certain locations. A magical barrier blocked us from the forest as well as the Northern area in our search. So that is the equivalent to 'doors locking', I believe.

[so soo-won DID get results from his science experiment]

And when we all woke up, we were... injured. [he sighs a bit, and then moves to shift his jedi cloak and robes to show bandages on his right arm] A few bruises, and marks in a... spiral shape on our arms?

So that is something to consider.

[frostythehitman]

I was getting a late night snack at the inn. I was with Raven, Xie Lian, [ coughs, subtly pull out his PHS to get the other names ], Hua Cheng, and Claude.

[lionson]

I actually paid attention and made it back to my room Thursday night.

[exercisms]

I was with you in Taako-san's room.

[He knows? Probably?]

We got locked in there, does that count as weird?

[sacredchants]

I was in the control bridge with Alphinuad and Laine. However, when we woke up... We were a bit more...bossier than normal.

I didn't have patience for anyone who wouldn't do what I wanted, but this morning I'm fine.

[ if she's glaring at sora for some of this, it's totally anyone's imagination. ]

[discernments]

I was in the cafeteria with Rufus and Shima. Food that wasn't in the... um, vending machines? Wasn't appetizing for all of yesterday.

[axecessory]

After what everyone said about being careful last week, I was in my room with Zuko. [ how many people actually listened to the signs..... ] We didn't really budge from there.

[showyourself]

I was in our room. I... actually assumed you'd just be coming back, so I ended up there alone.

[she looks a little guilty for not having. asked. but it's fine.]

I didn't feel odd in any way, though.

[arkitect]

[he already confirmed where he was, but he is also here to add:]

I cannot speak to whether aught was amiss with Sharon that night, or whether she was in our shared room at all-- but if there is a need to look into it later, I have left it largely undisturbed.

[i didn't see her mentioned in any groups but if i missed it yell at me,]

[canned]

I wanted to confirm if the same thing would happen, so I was in my room, trying to see what caused it.

But...I didn't think anyone else would die...I should have been outside, after all.
