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!

And for Izumo?

[stillnot]

[ clem figures izumo is. probably fine with sharing this information, since she told clem? ]

A nightmare of Laine trying to kill her.

Which I would just chalk up to just stress, if not for... [ well. the person in question. ]

[papasha]

[He makes a kind of pensive face at this information.

HELLO, CHILDREN?]

Ominous.

[stillnot]

Exactly.

It's still possible that it's coincidence, but - I doubt it.

[antaressnipe]

What exactly did the dream entail? How did Laine attack her?

[stillnot]

Mm, you'd have to ask her.

[ they didn't discuss the details. ]

[sacredchants]

[ CRAWLS TO THIS HOURS LATER... ]

I was having dreams about my past when suddenly Laine showed up and started chasing me. There wasn't much beyond that but it ended as soon as I woke up.

[recrowns]

[he blinks at that]

About your past? So your memories...? Did they all seem to make sense to you, up until that moment?

[sacredchants]

It made as much sense as you could have when you're dreaming of your past. [ ... ] Or of what you can remember of it.

[chanteuser]

... She mentioned that to me as well yesterday. But she didn't go into any details.

[stillnot]

[ vague discomfort at talking nightmares with the person who was there when clementine had one, f ]

Dreams are weird. Maybe there just weren't any other details.

[chanteuser]

If she's happy talking about it, we could check with her again. [ when naru is here and not committing food crimes. ] Otherwise...

Well. It's a bit specific to be random, isn't it? When you consider that Laine's dead...

[stillnot]

Yeah. I'm not writing it off.

[sacredchants]

I don't mind talking about it.

It's not like it's particularly uncomfortable.

[ NARU WRITES LEGIT HOURS LATER. also she lies. ]

[yamantaka]

[ he frowns that ]

[recrowns]

[ . . . huh.

soo-won will just pause for a moment before nodding]

... thank you for letting us know. We'll take it into consideration. And you had nothing of the sort? How odd...

[stillnot]

Maybe the Realm felt bad for me. I already have enough nightmares.

[papasha]

[CLEM STOP]

[stillnot]

[ no ]

[recrowns]

Ah, maybe so...

[though he doesn't sound convinced. there's a brief pause before his expression turns concerned]

... I have a few sleeping aides from the infirmary, if that might help you any.

[stillnot]

Save them.

[ she thinks it's weird too. but - anyway, she doesn't need those. seems like a waste! ]

[lecarre]

[:(

Ange can't hold Clem's hand but she does just sort of edge a bit closer.]

[siblingless]

[...]

Do we know what items everyone received as a reward for collecting nova last week? And... who worked together?

[stillnot]

I don't think so.

Someone should probably start a list or something.

[siblingless]

Yes... I think it would be for the best if we made a list of those items, as well as who was partnered with the dead. Maybe Kamiki-san's dream can be explained by something like that.
