( TRIAL - WEEK 3 )



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.

They could still lie. And unless the person they confess to knows for sure, then what good does it do?

[personal profile] blacktailed 2017-06-10 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
It's their lives on the line if they lie. If one of them claims my role, for example, I'd know they're a liar.

[personal profile] perceptions 2017-06-10 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but everyone here has a role. It's a slim chance they would even lie about the role you have.
blacktailed: (060.)

[personal profile] blacktailed 2017-06-10 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
It's less slim than you'd think.

...Well it's your decision and your risk to make.
pinesfortruth: (im 12 and what is this)

[personal profile] pinesfortruth 2017-06-10 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
They could just show their item or weapons if that's the kind of role they have. I'm... not sure how they'd prove a skill role, though. You can't show anyone else your rules on the rulebook, but maybe just copying them down?
perceptions: the fratellis (Dogs in the dust)

[personal profile] perceptions 2017-06-10 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Unless the demonstrate that skill? That might be the only way.
pinesfortruth: (but who... was phone????)

[personal profile] pinesfortruth 2017-06-10 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure how some of those can be demonstrated, though... Like the Bomber?

[personal profile] crushcard 2017-06-10 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Akane mentioned last week that she knows who the Bomber is.

[ just. throwing it out here. ]

I was just picking a skill at random that'd be hard to demonstrate, but good to know? Wait, is that good?

[personal profile] bownthisway 2017-06-10 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Mira, I'd like to get your role too, if you don't mind. It could clear the air about a lot of things.

[personal profile] perceptions 2017-06-10 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[She scrunches up her nose.]

Well... I guess if you wanted me dead you could have just not saved my life right? [She huffs.] Fine. Though I haven't used it at all. How do we do this?
bownthisway: (observation)

[personal profile] bownthisway 2017-06-10 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, Girge was more responsible for that than me. You could always go to him instead. [says this in the driest tone of voice imaginable]

We should see if Craftly will let us go somewhere in private, otherwise we can just set up the screen we usually use when we strip people. If your role comes with an item, I'd like to see it.

I don't think Mira's very fond of me at the moment!

[because he's a jerk who throws shade]
bownthisway: (sarcastic)

[personal profile] bownthisway 2017-06-10 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? But you're so charming and nice to everyone! [she's uh. being sarcastic. if he couldn't tell.]
disinterested: (combat pragmatist;)

[personal profile] disinterested 2017-06-10 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[yeah girge is 100% aware that he's not charming and nice]

I suppose it comes with only being a 7 on her chart.
perceptions: the fratellis (When I throw up in the rain)

[personal profile] perceptions 2017-06-10 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe both of you then? Like a, what's the word... mé-nage à trois? [She says with a very weak wink of the eye.] Not that he's my first choice for it.
bownthisway: (sarcastic)

[personal profile] bownthisway 2017-06-10 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Um. [Aloy looks like she can't decide between whether to be flattered or super awkward.] Can't say murder's really my thing, but we can always call Percy over too if you want something to look at.
perceptions: the fratellis (Rock and Roll)

[personal profile] perceptions 2017-06-10 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
What? [What.] No, Aloy, it's French for threesome. [SIGH.] I can't make any goddamn sex jokes around here.

[she can't get laid, she can't make innuendos, why dont you just fuckin kill her now???]
bownthisway: (smile)

[personal profile] bownthisway 2017-06-10 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. [MIRA SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT FRANCE IS how do you expect her to figure this out!!] Well, I wouldn't be picking Girge as the third party in that case either. [sorry girge she actually likes you but not for that]

Anyway. Uh. Curtain?
perceptions: the fratellis (She pretends she's appalled)

[personal profile] perceptions 2017-06-10 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[YOU PEOPLE ARE SO FUCKING WEIRD UUGH.]

Sure. I won't kiss and tell.

[no offence taken]

I prefer women who are competent enough to not get stabbed, so.
perceptions: the fratellis (The way that she crawled)

[personal profile] perceptions 2017-06-10 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ok fuck that, she's gonna try to kick him.

Try be the operative word because she's in so much pain the moment she tries to lift her leg to do it, her chest begins to shoot pain and she's doubling down.

Fuck. You.

Careful, you're recovering.
