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!

But technically, it wasn't Thursday night anymore. What about... "Did you kill someone after the majority of us fell asleep?"

[dawnblushed]

That could work. The effect should last four twenty-four hours, anyway, so if we're not sure, we can keep asking questions.

[siblingless]

That's true. Though, we don't have a lot of time left before we have to vote.

[dawnblushed]

That's why I thought I should bring it up now instead of waiting until the very end. If whoever we use it on is able to answer in a way that we know means they didn't kill anyone, we'd still have a little time to look for other options.

[ this after hua cheng, still child leashed, whispered in xie lian's ear. ]

How about, "Did you see Raven or Laine alive after curfew?"

[dawnblushed]

Oh, that's a good one!

[said in both xie lian and hua cheng's general direction]

[dianxias]

San Lang has his stone, as well, so we can try twice, if we must.

[assistance]

How about "have you killed another participant since we were all brought into the Realm"?

You know, there was at least one person who voted for me last week. Based on my answer to that question, I can clear myself of that, too.

[dawnblushed]

Mhm, that's an option, too.

I'm glad to use the gem if you think it would help.

[ hesitantly: ]

Soo-won-san said Alyssa's prints don't match, but... if Claude's under suspicion but he hasn't been cleared yet, should it be used on him instead?

[dawnblushed]

I'd be happy to use it on whoever we all think it would be best to use it on - just let me know who.

[i.e. you guys decide as a group and let me know when to yeet because work is killing me]

[assistance]

And I'd like to convince people I haven't killed anybody.

[dawnblushed]

Soo-won didn't find your prints on the mug, so...

[that seems like proof to her?]

[assistance]

Thanks for the vote of confidence! —Or, well, not voting for me, anyway.

[ wait, ]

—"Soo"-won?

[dawnblushed]

...that's what's on the PHS, isn't it?
