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!

[ . . . he looks gently amused]

We'll wake him when the going gets tough then - or when we're victorious and need a feast planned.

[he likes claude!! let him rest.]

Though that's interesting - a group of you but you didn't suffer any effects. I do think that might be it's because you were in the inn.

So the question then becomes if the necessity to receive an oddity is to be outside and in a group.

[ Also a little gently amused? He's fond of Claude also, in his fafa way. ]

He needs the rest, but I'm sure that he'll be more than willing to plan another feast once he's up again.

[ But, onto business. ]

En, we're all on the same page there. [ At least the ancient lads are. ] It's not something we should want to test, but regardless we may have to if this becomes a trend.

Well... it's a place to begin now, at least.

I wish there was a way to discern whether it's being alone or being in a location involved in murder that clears an oddity from a place.

[given that

clem and yona both fulfilled both of those conditions]

[supremity]

[ And the redhead shoujo squad reporting in... ]

I feel as if there's no real reliable way to test the theory. We may try to arrange it so that we can have groups and loners spread out across the areas we can access, but anyone that was alone could very well find themselves under suspicion. [ For volunteering, for being alone at all, for having even a shred of evidence against them - and who's to say they aren't wandering freely rather than being in the place they're supposed to be, in that scenario? ]

Conversely, we don't have enough examples of whether an effect comes into play if your location was involved in a murder, so speculation there will have to remain barebones, until this happens again.
