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!

To stop feeling like you had to run away.

[she is not actually hugging him don't mind the icon she's just vibing]

I'm sorry if you're still mad at me for being stupid. And I'm sorry if you still want to run away.

But I'm still really glad you're letting somebody help you right now, Nico-kun.

[suddenlybees]

...I don't want your help.

[ He says, but he still doesn't move. He can hate this but at the same time be grateful for not being so goddamn tired he wants to pluck his eyes out, you know the feeling. ]

[heartablaze]

...I know.

[wow does she ever, why do you think she is also not moving]

I know you'd... um... probably push me away if you could.

But I promised you, didn't I?

[suddenlybees]

Yeah, on your own accord.

[ She gets a forehead poke. No headpats for Hikaru ): ]

You sure are troublesome, you know that?

[heartablaze]

[she knows she's unloved, it's fine. she just squints her eyes a little at the poke.]

You think so?

I know what's important to me. Sometimes that's worth being in a little trouble.

[suddenlybees]

[ This is why he thinks she's stupid ): How can somebody useless like him be important ]

[heartablaze]

[:)]

[heartablaze]

[ok fine i'll give you an actual tag]

When this is over, and we figure out what happened... could I show you something?

[suddenlybees]

[ He gives her a look of none trust ]

Do you need permission to show me things?

[heartablaze]

Huh?

I mean, maybe not for some things? But not for this. I'm not gonna force you.

[suddenlybees]

Are you gonna tell me what it is, or will that ruin the surprise?

[heartablaze]

[pokes his forehead :)]

[suddenlybees]

Surprise it is! If I make it to the end of the trial, I'll decide then.

[heartablaze]

You'd better!

I'll have faith in you, Nico-kun.

[suddenlybees]

Yeah, yeah.

[ That's really too bad, Hikaru. ]

[knife emoji.jpg

at least the two of them are in sssssslightly less dead zombie spirits than the start of trial]

No, no, I mean it. Don't be silly about it.

I told you, I don't say things I don't mean.
