WEEK TWO: TRIAL

[retellers]

WEEK TWO: TRIAL (35 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: This is your reminder to be at the Emporium by 12 PM. 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: Wolf, Rabbit, and Fox. Fox speaks. "... Third time isn't the charm, as it turns out. You have nine hours. We'll help with what we can, as before." ༶•┈┈⛧┈｡o°✥✣ 　　 ✣✥°o｡┈⛧┈┈•༶ Hello, everyone, and welcome to the third 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!

.... Blanca, Hansa, and I felt a compelling urge to build a blanket fort, likely because we slept in the Fort, so I ask that you not be too upset with either of them...

[be upset at soo-won though

also:]

Fox was also in the Fort with us.

[robopriest]

Its true. I was there with them. I swear, if I see another blanket fort again....

[recrowns]

I thought it was a bit charming. I haven't gotten to do something like that since I was a child.

[papasha]

[Closes eyes.

Thank everything he isn't scrambling to build a blanket fort anymore.]

I can confirm this.

[recrowns]

Ah, I suppose I can't invite either of you to blanket forts anymore....

[he's

mostly joking]

[papasha]

Well, timing is key... I wouldn't mind if it's during a less imperative time.

[recrowns]

I'll keep that in mind when creating the guest list for our next blanket fort endeavor, Blanca.

[did blanca just disinvite and reinvite himself]

[chanteuser]

[ quietly raises her hand in the background ]

I don't think I've ever made a blanket fort before. [ pick her! pick her! ]

[recrowns]

[ ! ]

Then when there's a better time to start, let's have at it.

[chanteuser]

Yes! I'll find you next week.

[ blanket fort!!! ]

[exercisms]

Fox was there?

[recrowns]

Fox was there. The conversation was very nice.

[was it]

[exercisms]

Was he there before the curfew started? I wonder why he went in there?

[recrowns]

It sounds as though Wolf and Rabbit were also both in the First Aid Station - so perhaps they just spread themselves out a bit again?

[siblingless]

Wolf-san said they received another invitation.

[exercisms]

You invited all three of them? How come?

[siblingless]

Huh? If we're using a buddy system, I don't think the leaders should be left out of it.

[exercisms]

[Smiling a little at that.]

I didn't think of that. You're right, they definitely shouldn't be left out.

[assistance]

On the contrary, I feel like I have the right to be upset with Hansa, compulsion or not!

[recrowns]

Hmm.... I suppose you can be upset, but he felt guilty and he naturally wouldn't have abandoned anyone of his own accord. He's not that type of person.

Perhaps you ought to work it out between you two.

[assistance]

[ ok then

she is marching right up to hansa and crossing her arms as she stares up at him sternly ]

[robopriest]

[JUST. KIND OF LOOKING AWAY. Don't judge him. Except please do.]

[She can definitely feel him feeling guilty, though.]

....Sorry, Alyssa.

[assistance]

[ i missed this getting breakfast but... that gets her to soften up a little... wtf ]

It's okay, I... wasn't really myself yesterday anyway. Water under the bridge?

[ she holds out her hand, before quickly retracting it ]

—Sorry, it's a habit.

[robopriest]

Yeah. Water under the bridge.

[He turns and smiles back at her.]

...Say, what happened? I mean, I know I told you to wait, but you could've just walked out at any time.

[heartablaze]

He felt really bad about it when we reminded him, Alyssa-chan... I don't think he woulda left you behind if the Realm hadn't done weird things to him.
