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!

It sounds as though she may have returned to her room with Emet-Selch, but otherwise she has not been accounted for.

[dianxias]

Emet-Selch was with Archer and Miss Usagi.

[ shaking his head. ] So, she could have been alone in her room.

[recrowns]

[oh i misread that thank you sisi i forgot the chiron/emet-selch agenda how could i]

... but if she was there - why would she leave? Going to meet her attacker...?

[dianxias]

[ my old man yaois! ]

I'm not sure. Perhaps she heard a noise from Miss Cater and whomever her attacker was...? Maybe not being able to hear on the outside wears off when we're all asleep... though, she would've had to leave the room to hear anything, less they were shouting along the way.

I still have some questions about the effects of the sleep as well, too. ...Let me go confirm something, really quickly.

[ brb going to check in with the npcs.... pls hold ]

... According to them, all of the nova-related effects of our magic-induced sleep happened to those in the new area over the bridge, so what happened to you all in the plaza was unrelated. You woke injured, right?

[recrowns]

[hmmmm, he nods his head at that, looking thoughtful]

But if the doors have locks on them that can't be opened without the device, and Emet-Selch was elsewhere... why would she choose to leave? To assist Cater? Though I still maintain that I don't think that Cater encountered her attacker in the town.....

[though - he looks surprised at that, there goes his curfew theory]

Mm, that's correct. All of us and - I believe Alex went to check if Goat was injured as well.

[dianxias]

Brother Swan said that they are unaffected by the same "effects" caused by nova. That means that if Brother Goat was also injured, it was caused by a participant somehow.
