( TRIAL - WEEK 1 )
 At exactly 11:30 am, all residents who are still asleep will be jolted awake by a sharp, burning pain that spreads across their whole body. A simple look will reveal no visible injuries, oddly enough, and the pain will fade away as soon as they're properly awake. Those early birds who are already up and about will feel nothing — except maybe a strange, mysterious sense of relief as they go on about their business. Lucky them. Moments later, an announcement will come through the static-filled PA system: And true to his words, anyone who doesn't make their way to the Dining Hall before noon will be dragged kicking and screaming regardless of where they've sequestered themselves. Sucks to be you, huh? Upon arriving there, however, residents will be given the menu, one copy of the rulebook, one pencil, one notepad, and a cheque folder. Lunch and dinner will be served at the appropriate times, and appetizers, desserts and beverages (of the non-alcoholic variety) will be available throughout the trial. All you have to do is ask one of the faceless men, and your food will be delivered to you in ten minutes or less depending on what it is. The Dining Room itself looks about the same as it does any other day — save for the fact that the lights have been dimmed. Why this, you ask? Because the projector is now in use. Transparencies containing each resident's profile will be displayed on the pull-down screen, with one of the staff members rotating through the images every minute. The profiles of the deceased are included, and if current discussion deems it necessary to focus on one particular resident, anyone is free to ask the faceless man to pause on the appropriate profile for a while. A small area has been sectioned off with a transparent, plastic curtain right next to the pull-down screen. Its use will become rapidly apparent once the victim's corpse has been wheeled in. Anyone who wishes to step into this area will be asked to wash their hands in the kitchen, and they will be given a pair of latex-free gloves and a hairnet by a staff member who is stationed nearby. Residents are required to dispose of both items before returning to the dinner table; a trash bin is available outside of the curtains for this purpose. Evidence found during the investigation, on the other hand, will be displayed in the back of the room. Two, long tables have been taken out of storage for this occasion, and any items found by the residents on Friday will be displayed here for further examination. Finally — a clock above the pull-down screen displays the current hour. Please do remember you have until 9:00 PM to figure out whodunit and cast your vote. Welcome to our first trial! Characters will be given nine (9) hours to discuss everything related to the investigation to hopefully solve the mystery behind this week's murder. No one will be allowed to leave the Dining Hall without explicit permission from the Innkeeper (and only then to take a tinkle), and all characters must cast their vote before 9PM EST. You may do so on this week's voting page. If you have any questions or doubts, shoot us a PM or a PP over at voting | profiles | menu | locations | ic rulebook |

[ he doesn't blame her for not speaking up though, she's right about that. ]
No one broke into your room, according to the doorknob. Unless the markings on room 112's was just to make us think someone inexperienced tried to break in, but I doubt we'd be able to prove that at this point. And both of your roommates claim they saw a slim figure in the closet, but you're the only one who didn't. It's odd that both of them, as well as Dave and Kaito, were aware of things happening in their respective rooms, but you slept through it all.

[ For the first time, she actually looked like she was ready to cry. But her hand goes up to wave herself off. ]
There's no way to prove that, you know? My word versus others. So... it's just waiting game. I don't blame you, but just get the right person next time, yeah?
no subject
Unless someone else comes forth and says that they're the Ghost and possessed you, then we're not likely to find another culprit. Or your roommates framed you, but even then there are more holes in that theory than the current one.
no subject
Then get your vote in. If no one else has anything to say in my defense, I can't really defend myself in circles.
It's fine.
[ it's not fine. but, she gives a lazy peace sign. ]
Do what you gotta do.

jay is so clearly uncomfortable now. still, he takes a deep breath before leaning over to take the hand that's giving the peace sign in his, and gives it a small squeeze. ]
I'm going to be very disappointed in you if you really are guilty, you know.

[ This is mad hetero. ]
Huh? No. [ She tugs her hand back. ] It's — you don't have to do that.
no subject
he easily lets go. ]
Too late. I just did. Hana, I'm going to stop interrogating you now, but if you can think of anything you want to say, feel free to feel me. Or anyone else.
