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!

... I will be all right, Xie Lian. If he knew it was coming, just as -

[ She cuts herself off and offers a sad smile. ]

Thank you for your hard work, too.

[dianxias]

[ he gets it. xie lian returns the look, mirroring her sad smile. ]

...I think... he would probably say, that it is alright, to not be alright.

[discernments]

He would, and and he would be a hypocrite.

[ He's dead, but she will still call him out. ]

[dianxias]

[ that gets him to smile more honestly, and with a huff of a laugh: ]

He certainly would be. Quite possibly the biggest of all of us.

[ its a loving callout. ]

[discernments]

[ They respect the dead with all their hearts, these two kind souls who'd die for anyone. ]

There's little contest. For all his self-awareness and for what he would or wouldn't allow for himself, he was quite pigheaded.

[dianxias]

Indeed. And so very wise in the ways of the world and why such ways of acting were completely valid for his own pains, in comparison to those of someone nearly forty times his age.

[ soo-won...his expression softens into fondness, though its determination, too. ]

... We will see him again, soon, and tell him these things ourselves.

[discernments]

[ Oh, no. That does get her to smile more genuinely. It almost reaches her eyes. ]

Yes. For he, who worked so hard— For everyone here and beyond, who has worked so hard, let's give them all something to believe in.

... It is the very least we can do.
