( 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.

No one is ever safe Akane. Not you, not Junpei, not any of us.
18x0: something about how beautiful and strong i am probably (dont speak i know just what youre saying)

[personal profile] 18x0 2017-06-11 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose that's true, as long as there are people like you in the world. I'll just have to keep doing what I can to fix that.

Ah, ominous. ...He told me I should look out for you. Zero that is. Said you were more than meets the eye.
18x0: (our closest enemies are our truest foes.)

[personal profile] 18x0 2017-06-11 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
You played a similar role in that game as well, didn't you? But you're probably not an actual associate of Zero's...

I don't know who he is. But I knew about his plan to lockdown DCOM. I figure it'd be interesting to see what happens. This is no different.
18x0: could be the last. walk responsibly (the next landmine you step on)

[personal profile] 18x0 2017-06-11 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
Were you aware of why he ran that game? Did he tell you about Radical-6?
perceptions: the fratellis (Well she's halfway over)

[personal profile] perceptions 2017-06-11 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Radical-6? [She raises an eyebrow.] Never heard of it. He told me was doing this to save lives. I don't know what the details of that is though.
18x0: the real questions are who? what? when? how? why? and many others (things i may or may not have destroyed)

[personal profile] 18x0 2017-06-11 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
Then maybe he thought that even you wouldn't play along if he told you the truth. You were just as much of a pawn as the rest of us.
perceptions: the fratellis (She's not the only one)

[personal profile] perceptions 2017-06-11 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe so. Doesn't matter anymore now. I got what I wanted out of that game in the end.
18x0: (aren't we all responsible for my actions)

[personal profile] 18x0 2017-06-11 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
Just like you did out of this one, right? No matter which way we vote, you win.
perceptions: the fratellis (Oh Scarlett)

[personal profile] perceptions 2017-06-11 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly.

Just vote Craftly. You get to kill me and someone else connected. It's the most logical.
