( 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.

[ ??? ]

If it weren't for this entire trial thing, I probably would have just been honest about it from the start.

I didn't really want to die.

But after awhile, I'm pretty sure people were going to vote for me anyway.

[personal profile] parodeity 2017-06-03 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean, yeah. You basically told me about shit you did day one.

[ he Specifically told people he thought kamui was insane, guess dave was...right... ]

[personal profile] digestion 2017-06-03 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I knew you'd at least believe me.
parodeity: (NO 🎧 that sounds dumb)

[personal profile] parodeity 2017-06-03 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
That you were a shady fuck? I mean, yes. I think my exact words were "but at least he's pleasant about it, so whatever".

[ STILL TOLD PEOPLE TO LOOK OUT, THOUGH. not...any of the people who died though...???? ]

Am I still being pleasant about it? I could be ruder, I guess.
parodeity: starrypier @ tumblr (GLANCE 🎧 what's up?)

[personal profile] parodeity 2017-06-03 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
It wasn't, like, genuine pleasantness. But you know, affability that even if you know it's false at least it's not like, as obnoxious at the other option?

[ACTUALLY, AFTER A SECOND OR TWO]

Look, are you still doing the wrestling in exchange for information? 'Cause I'll do it.

[personal profile] digestion 2017-06-03 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure. But now that you've got your main answer, my other ones might not be so helpful.

It's not like I'm gonna be doing anything else.

[ At this point, after killing at least one guy who put up a pretty decent fight, he's probably just going to lose everything. But that's alright, the burn of his body is pretty slowly pushing him onward.

Eventually, he might break. But he doesn't really care about that, and holds his hand up for her to take. ]


You guys are a lot of fun.

[derisively,]

Yeah, I sure love arm wrestling with a murderer.

[and with that, she grasps his hand and starts pushing. like she'd said before, her upper body strength is kind of lacking compared to her leg power, but maybe it's being this close to a self-confessed killer that's giving her a little extra edge. she is actually pretty athletic in general, too, to be fair.

how much of a fight is kamui putting up?]

[ He's an expert, and one of the strongest people in his universe. But that's been humanised, and he's pretty tired after murdering a guy and arm wrestling a bunch of people with an already injured hand.

The actual bloodlust hasn't kicked in though, so he's impressively tough, but w/e, go for it!! Girls winning is always better, anyway— ]

[she can feel that, yeah, he's not exactly in his prime right now... but hey, if he was willing to go for it, fair game, right?

it takes her noticeably longer than aloy's or jake's victories, but she somehow manages to brute force it; she doesn't slam his hand down on the table or anything, though. chalk it up to kamui having a fucked up hand or whatever, she'll take it. but it's still not as satisfying or vindicating as she'd thought it'd be.]


... That almost didn't feel fair, after you've been going nonstop.

Don't think like that. This is fun, if not exactly what I would have chosen first.
