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!

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?

[bisouled]

No, more like - have you ever had to have an operation and they give you some medicine to knock you out that makes you start talking to Bunnits? It was more like that. Really embarrassing stuff.

[robopriest]

So like you were drugged.

[can't believe fiora and the rest got high]

Were there any weird smells or anything in the room when you woke up?

[bisouled]

I was trying to be delicate about it.

[ folding her arms - but she shakes her head. ]

Nope. It was totally normal. I thought we might have slept near a funny plant.

[robopriest]

...

[A funny plant, huh...]

How long did the feeling last?

[bisouled]

... All of yesterday. But I feel fine this morning!

[ there's a reason she kept to herself yesterday ]

[infreefall]

[ nodding! ]

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

[reconnective]

How are you feeling now?

[infreefall]

Oh, I'm fine now. It lasted all day yesterday, but this morning it was like nothing was wrong at all.

[reconnective]

Good. [he grins.] So at least we know if something like this happens again it'll wear off.

[misstrust]

[ A VERY SAGE NOD. ]

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

[reconnective]

Was it like...you knew that it was weird? Or it felt normal and then only when it ended you guys realized it was strange?

[misstrust]

Ah, no, I thought something was wrong when I heard two people had been killed and I still felt so calm and happy? Like it was almost funny, somehow.

But I couldn't really shake it, either.

[reconnective]

Yeah, that doesn't seem like something you'd do normally. [also yikes.] I wonder what that even means then. If people are being hit with these effects, then...are they just random? Or do you think they're trying to tell us something?

[misstrust]

... Well, I think either we slept too close to a particular plant or someone else was in there, in this example. It was more of a drugged feeling than anything.

[reconnective]

[....SPACE WEED...? except sora doesn't know what a weed is, so he just frowns.]

Maybe...we should stop sleeping next to weird plants then. For the future.
