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!

[She appreciates the gesture nonetheless, smiling a bit when she notices the aborted gesture.]

Mhm, it's worth a try. None of us tried to climb after we found Brick-san, and there's still the matter of the missing rope.

[recrowns]

[he nods in response to that]

Then let's do that. The fort and the ship seem to be the two areas in which we need to investigate again.

[siblingless]

[And a nod over here, too!]

Perhaps Xie Lian-san can accompany you? He said he took stock of what was in the cargo, so I'm sure he'll be able to help.

[recrowns]

[he

glances in a certain vague direction

before looking back]

... I'd rather that Xie Lian and I aren't missing from trial at the same time but... I'll consider the suggestion.

[evocationary]

[ in the distance from where she's futzing around with the body: ] I can keep an eye out too, Bougie, once I'm done with this.

[recrowns]

Is that so? Then I feel better. I'll leave it in your hands, Lup, thank you.

[evocationary]

For sure, for sure. Can't let my strip search buddy go anywhere on his own.

[dianxias]

[ A VERY THANKFUL LOOK ]

[evocationary]

[ she smiles at him! ]

[dianxias]

It's alright - ! There are many places to be searched, so we can coordinate accordingly.

[recrowns]

[he nods]

It sounds as though someone will monitor the situation even if we're both gone, so I don't mind going with you. Shall we bring someone else?

[siblingless]

[... Trying to look in the same direction and failing, probably.]

May I ask why?

[recrowns]

Hmm....

I'm anticipating a disruption at some point... and I think Xie Lian would be instrumental in helping to minimize it.

But if you could simply keep an eye out and assist Lup should a situation arise, I believe that would be enough. For now, I think that it can be handled rather easily and isn't a huge cause for distraction.

[siblingless]

[Uh? Alarming? She looks very alarmed, but nods.]

I'll help Lup-san however I can, I promise! But... [Bruh. Whispering:] What is it, exactly, that I should keep an eye out for?

[recrowns]

A possible disagreement that could escalate, without any rhyme or reason attributed to it.

That's all. Call for Hansa if you need him.

[siblingless]

[Furrowing her brows because, hm. Still alarming.]

... Okay. You can rely on me, Soo-won-san.

[papasha]

[Gives him a look.]

[recrowns]

[he winks!

and he toddles off to go to the boat goodbye everyone this is no longer his problem]

[robopriest]

[Just. Looking over at this.]

[Hm.]

Why Xie Lian, though?

[recrowns]

There are some charms that only Xie Lian can wield.

[he says this with a straight face]

I don't anticipate a fight breaking out but if it does, can I rely on you, Hansa?

[robopriest]

[He scoffs.]

We don't have our powers, Won. Unless you're expecting him to make googly eyes at someone and make them do his will, sure.

[And a light shrug.]

Sure thing. You know me.

[recrowns]

Oh, something like that. I think he's very convincing sometimes, don't you?

[but he seems amused]

I do, and I trust you. Thank you, my friend.

[supremity]

[ about that ]

[infreefall]

[ whispering: ] Maybe he has something else that can help?

[ she has no idea honestly but she wants people to have faith in xie lian! ]

[dianxias]

I'm not sure what googly eyes are, but I will handle it the best that I can. [ he really does just have to make booboo eyes, honestly. ]

Thank you, Hansa.
