( TRIAL - WEEK 2 )



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:

"This is Craftly speaking. My apologies for the rude awakening [not really], but your presence is required in the Dining Hall. Our second trial is about to begin. Please do try to be there before noon. My staff members have simply too many duties to tend to, to be escorting each and every one of you out of your quarters. Good day."


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, and will be given a pair of latex-free gloves and a hairnet by a staff members 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.

( victims )



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, 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 [plurk.com profile] yuggoth.

The only people with extra room keys are from 111 and 112.

And we found Jason's missing room key underneath the couch.

[and they have probably been keeping a tight hold on it too because fuck giving someone else a key to their room??? SERIOUSLY]

[personal profile] parodeity 2017-06-03 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Though there's always the skeleton key to consider, of course.

[. . . HAA. . .]

So narrowing down the murder weapon for Omega to a pair of keys isn't really helpful at all, is it.

[dryly]

Geez, where's luminol when a guy really needs some?
parodeity: seitoro @ tumblr (YAWN 🎧 what is it now)

[personal profile] parodeity 2017-06-03 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh. I'd wager it was her own weapon, though.
nowyouseeit: (pic#10698627)

[personal profile] nowyouseeit 2017-06-03 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Honesty, s'probably the most likely option. That weapon can't be traced, unlike our room keys.

If you had the chemical formula for luminol, I could try making it.
nowyouseeit: (pic#10698714)

[personal profile] nowyouseeit 2017-06-03 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
-- really?

[he seems surprised, but not displeased!]

You have the materials for that?
restlessgods: (consider: that is a bad idea)

[personal profile] restlessgods 2017-06-03 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She folds her fingers. ]

Not the materials, no. But I have synthesised many things from lesser reagents. Give me the formula and I can take a crack as it, as the young ones would say.

[he grins]

C8H7N3O2.

[how the fuck did he know that I hate Gosho boys]
restlessgods: (consider: that is a bad idea)

[personal profile] restlessgods 2017-06-03 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That gets a smile. ]

Very well. After this business is over... I shall begin.

[ It seems to be actually possible so let's hope Craftly gives them these things. ]

[BLESS RACHEL]

Lemme know if you need help. I-- uh. I know a little bit about chemistry.

[a "little bit" he synthesizes sleeping gas bombs on his own, I'm just saying]
restlessgods: (Default)

[personal profile] restlessgods 2017-06-03 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ :) ]

First, I must procure the necessary reagents. I may need your help for performing the synthesis.

[ Since she's like, on a wheelchair. Mobility not so good. ]

[personal profile] nowyouseeit 2017-06-03 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Got it. If anything, it'll be helpful for us if someone decides to kill next week, too.

[. . . he hates putting it like that BUT YOU KNOW!!]
restlessgods: (consider: that is a bad idea)

[personal profile] restlessgods 2017-06-03 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I will keep you informed.

[ Now to wait to see if the mods will approve it. ]
crushcard: (your cunning plans have ended)

[ will watch if it happens only because he's going to also watch her ):< ]
restlessgods: (Default)

[personal profile] restlessgods 2017-06-03 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[ :)

Would you like to help, Kaiba? ]
crushcard: (even if we get pulled around)

[personal profile] crushcard 2017-06-03 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ sure, if she asks? might as well have more people know how to do it just in case they end up dead, oops. ]
restlessgods: (good boy!)

[personal profile] restlessgods 2017-06-03 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Good boy. ]
18x0: (problem solving skills are well regarded)

[personal profile] 18x0 2017-06-03 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I might also be able to help if necessary.

[Guess who also has experience with sleeping gas :D]
restlessgods: (good boy!)

[personal profile] restlessgods 2017-06-03 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Thank you, Akane. ]

I will need your assistance, definitely. Of course, this depends if I can procure the starting materials - but if I can, I shall draft up a protocol.

[personal profile] 18x0 2017-06-03 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't see any reason why we couldn't get everything necessary from the motel just by asking.

...Actually, I wonder if we could just try asking for some luminol. It probably wouldn't work, but...
restlessgods: (Default)

[personal profile] restlessgods 2017-06-03 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Hm. ]

I will put that in for request as well.

It would require brute strength to drive a normal key into someone's neck. The majority of the residents here lack as much.
