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!

[just...the gentlest pout.]

It was one sip, why'd I get punished like everybody else? [being drunk when you have never had alcohol before is terrible!]

[misstrust]

There, there. We're all feeling better today, right?

[reconnective]

I think so. [debatable for those of you who actually did get hammered.] But I guess it could've been worse, right?

[misstrust]

Yes, we could also be dead.

[reconnective]

We could. [he frowns.] ...it's kind of a miracle none of us got hurt in a bar fight or whatever, isn't it?

[and by miracle he means it's pretty weird. how did that even happen?]

[misstrust]

That's what I don't understand.

Why weren't any of us hurt?

[evocationary]

Hey, question. Are we the only ones allowed to use our gemstones, or can any old sucker pick 'em up and use 'em?

[reconnective]

Especially when you think about the group that slept outside last week. They all got a lot of different injuries even though they were out in the open. The pub's a little smaller and we were all in there, so it doesn't make a lot of sense.

...do you think Raven might've died somewhere else and then got moved back?

[discernments]

This is where temptation leads you, Sora.






[ she sounds very serious, but she is joking. ]

[reconnective]

[D:]

I didn't mean to! It was just once!

[JEANNE NOOOOOOO.]

[discernments]

Once is all it takes sometimes.

[reconnective]

So much for that. [pouting forever. it would be fine if it was anyone but the fates saying this tbh.]

[discernments]

[ Oh. She feels a little bad now.


He can probably feel that. ]

One sip is fine, Sora. I know you're good.

[siblingless]

[she

pats him with the plushie again. there, there.]

I think side-effects are just inevitable if you sleep anywhere beyond the bridge.

[reconnective]

[thanks sumi.]

Oh maybe. [oh.] I thought it was just outside of the inn, but across the bridge in general makes way more sense.

[siblingless]

It was the same last week as well. I think... Um, was it Goat-san? One of the leaders explained it's because of the effects of the gateway.

[reconnective]

If the gateway's linking us to memories of places then that makes sense. And that definitely didn't stop anybody this time, sooo...

[they will all suffer ig.]

[siblingless]

[RIP...]

Would you like to stay with me next week? We ought to avoid exposing ourselves to anything that could, um, make our investigation more difficult.

[assistance]

You are getting so many pats when the shocking thing passes.

[reconnective]

I guess that's fine. [his emotional reading says he would actually be okay with that, don't be fooled.]

[antaressnipe]

-- Even you, Sora?

[Disappointing!!!!





He's joking but regardless]

[uhhhmagic]

Peer pressure . . . it's a powerful thing.

[as if taako wasn't the peer]

[reconnective]

One sip! And I had another half of a glass but I didn't drink it, I was just holding it. [STOP EVEN JOKING DISAPPOINTMENT IS SAD.]

[riegan]

It's not that big of a deal. I doubt one sip or even a glass would be enough to get you in trouble.

(Claude's from JRPG fantasy world? He's probably grown up drinking wine tbh?)

[reconnective]

Yeah, well, tell that to the Realm. [the realm who decided to make him drunk as PUNISHMENT.]
