WEEK SIX: TRIAL

[retellers]

WEEK SIX: TRIAL (22 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: Please go to the Emporium at 12. 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. Wolf speaks. "Nine hours. You know what to do." ༶•┈┈⛧┈｡o°✥✣ 　　 ✣✥°o｡┈⛧┈┈•༶ Hello, everyone, and welcome to the seventh 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!

CURFEW

[sacredchants]

[ pretend that this cripple can get everyone's attention somehow. ]

We know the drill by now, right? Where was everyone and what was the deal with everyone?

I stayed with Alphinaud, Soo-Won, Ange, Hilda, and Zuko at the boardwalk on Thursday. When we woke up, we felt a little competitive when it came to the carnival games... Or, you know, would if they weren't all trashed.

[dianxias]

[ giving izumo an embarrassing thumbs up

anyway. ]

I was at the beach, with San Lang, Miss Jeanne, Miss Dorothy, Claude, Rufus, and... Miss Ochako.

We were talking very strangely yesterday. [ a beat, and xie lian claps his hands together, smiling. ] "Dude".

[supremity]

Righteous. [ flatly ]

[evocationary]

Tubular! [ she yells, from across the room ]

[discernments]

It was - a bummer.

[dianxias]

Very not tubular.

...I still don't understand why a "tube" is a good thing... the modern age is truly a wonder....

[axecessory]

[ she nods along at izumo's summary, but then looks troubled. ]

Um... I haven't seen Soo-Won since Thursday night. And he seemed a little—off?

[sacredchants]

Did he? I don't speak to him much and I haven't seen him around.

[ but hmmm.... ]

He did mention something about forgetting someone, didn't he?

[axecessory]

Yeah, he said he forgot to bring along his curfew partner—he didn't mention who it was. Won can be a little weird, but he's not irresponsible like that.

There were other little things he forgot too. And he was just... spacier than usual.

[chanteuser]

I was in the forest with Chiron and Hansa. It wasn't in the northern area, so there were no effects when we woke up.

[ she's got a part of her hair twisted up, with some of the flowers from the bundle she was holding yesterday tucked in it. there's also a generic blue flower, but it looks a little older than the others. the petals are dying a little, and look a little old around the edges. ]

[sacredchants]

[ izumo doesn't know about her and horse dad's relationship fully but she'll notice the flowers in her hair the like. clearly someone tried to do something nice for her but it feels wrong to comment on it.

so just :( alex. ]

[arkitect]

[i forgot in my other tags but. they can match-- there are a few of the same flowers tucked in emet's hair also. he's left them there, thanks alex.]

You all said as much of your plans, yes. I can at least confirm that.

[since hansa is here but cannot icly confirm because of... let's say they're having him deal with their tiny dinosaurs so he doesn't just sit here vibing.]

[chanteuser]

[ this whole trial is just sometimes emet and alex going to check in on the feral cyborg and make sure he isn't smashing the displays.

for the cuteness record though, the little t-rex is fighting hansa's knee. the knee is winning. ]

[arcsplainist]

Well, there were some left... Ahem, anyroad. This I am able to confirm.

[sacredchants]

Oh, yeah... there were, weren't there?

[ ehehe.... ]

[arcsplainist]

[ shut up ]

Something to get it out of our system, at the very least.

[arkitect]

[luckily since it's the beginning of the day, he is not visibly bleeding! yet. hi.]

I stayed at the pier, with Ruby, Blanca, Taako, Sora, Clementine, Homura [who he doesn't know has a different name also, sorry homura] and Wolf. We were afflicted with- [his mouth twists in distaste.] Speaking in related puns.

[horologia]

[ she's just going to have to live with the misnaming, isn't she. it's been three weeks. what is she going to have to do, take time out of the trial to make an announcement because this is the only time they're all together? ]

[uhhhmagic]

[actually i have to change this]

I was there too!

[haha]

[dianxias]

[ said loudly enough for anyone to hear: ]

Sora, Miss Clementine, and Miss Yuuri.

[horologia]

... the pier, with Sora-san, Clementine-san, Emet-selch-san, Wolf-san, Blanca-san, and the twins.

Our speaking patterns were also affected. ... Not quite as much as those on the beach, it seems.

[moondumplings]

[ she’s quieter than usual but ]

I stayed in my room.

[sacredchants]

Just in your room by yourself?

[ because, you know, double checking. ]

[canned]

[Alphonse raises his hand, but like Usagi he's a bit less energetic than usual]

I was just in my room, too. The effects are really embarrassing...

[for anyone that didn't see him during the week, they'll notice large, jagged gashes cut out of his armor, as if by sharp claws—also, the hair tuft on his helmet is....significantly longer and...more...but it has been braided very nicely]

[sacredchants]

[ slow blinks. and because this is BEFORE she's crushed by snake-won: ]

What happened to your armor, Alphonse?
