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!

[ Heck you, you trickass bitch.




But as Xie Lian is departing to go recheck the ship, he throws him a hopeful look as Hua Cheng sneers. So Claude may check one big boi hand.

The other will be on standby, don't fucking test him. ]

[dianxias]

[ WHAT WOULD DIANXIA DO ]

[supremity]

[ find a peaceful resolution






BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT HUA CHENG'S GONNA DO - ]

[dianxias]

[ i hope you're ready for the idiom game. ]

[riegan]

(UGH? What the heck go away?

Just gonna swat at Hua Cheng's hand because seriously, get out of his face.)

[supremity]

[ UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE, he's being responsible!

The swat gets one back, so enjoy your static shock, brat. ]

[riegan]

(These dang shocks I keep forgetting)

Ouch! What--

Do you want them to fit you or something? Just save us the trouble and confess if you're so desperate.

(I hate every single tag)

[heartablaze]

[noooooooooooooooooo hi no small one in between no and just

giving them both a look]

Hey, no, stop it. [she's holding out a hand for the glove]

Nii-chan, I'll check him. This is important.

[supremity]

[ Much like with Xie Lian, Hua Cheng behaves with Hikaru getting in between them. Unfortunately, she does nothing to fully draw his attention away from his target, but -

He lowers the one hand for her, and unclenches the other. Even as he glares daggers at Claude. ]

Hikaru is right. Better to account for everything.

[riegan]

What's that? Did someone say something?

[heartablaze]

[absolutely taking him by the wrist for a split second

ow]

Nii-chan.

[riegan]

(YELPS)

Ow, ow, ow?! Let go before you hurt yourself!

[heartablaze]

[ow

it's fine, she does, shaking off her hand]

Be nice, okay? I know you're... made at each other for some reason, but Raven is dead, and so is Laine-san.

Please... can you fight later?

[riegan]

... Right. (Ugh, he feels so embarrassed because Hikaru's scolding him.) Sorry.

(He'll..... try his best........)

[heartablaze]

[MY TYPOS its fine

she'll give him a gentle smile]

It's okay. If you're feeling really mad again, you can come stay with me, okay?

[heartablaze]

[Now that she has the glove -- she gives him a little bow, the frustration and pain and exasperation just kind of leaking off her despite how she tries to keep her smile steady.]

Please be kind, Hua-chan. Chijin will be mad if he sees you've been fighting.

[how's that hand look, gege]

[supremity]

[ The annoyance in him is still there, but it dampens in response to Hikaru's emotions - and he angles himself more towards her so that he's closer to her level. ]

You're right, Hikaru. [ A little more mollified, he brings both hands up, palm up, then turning them over.

xl glove size big, and while calloused as always, there's some minor damage from their escapades on Wednesday since he had to 1v1 a group of skeletons and haul himself back out of the water. Nothing that stands out too much otherwise. ]

[riegan]

(Hikaru?? Wow, way to shame him.)

Right, right... If you want to...

(He'll hand her the glove!! But also LOOK AT HUA CHENG LIKE?? BE NICE TO HER? )

[supremity]

[ Excuse you?????

It is only by the grace of Hikaru's existence that you still stand, deer boy. ]

[heartablaze]

You just said we needed to check everyone, right? That includes Hua-chan, and that includes you, too

[She is SO EXASPERATED ALREADY PLEASE

but her smile is sincere, despite that]

It'll just take a minute, okay? Promise.
