( TRIAL - WEEK 4 )



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, but due to a certain someone who I shall not name [he's still pissed] — today's trial will take place by the pool. 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 Outdoor Dining Area 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. Due the Kitchen and Dining Hall getting wrecked, lunch and dinner will mostly consist of grilled and barbecued menu items. Hamburgers, hotdogs, salads, and items that require little preparation — all the residents have to do is ask in order to receive. Similarly, all beverages will be retrieved from a hundred quart cooler that has been placed by the side of the pool.

Not as fancy as usual, but at least the pool is clean now. Some inflatable pool toys lazily swim in the water, along with pool noodles. Every now and then, the waters will vibrate to the sound of buzz saws and assorted power tools. Looks like the Disposal Room, Dining Hall and Kitchen are under reparations.

A tent has been placed over the area to shield the residents from the sun, and to make up from the lack of transparencies everyone will receive a small booklet containing each resident's profile. They look a little bit like shitty PowerPoint presentation handouts, but maybe it's part of the charm. The profiles of the deceased are included, as always.

A second tent has been set up in the parking lot, complete with an air conditioning on the inside. Its use will become rapidly apparent once the victims corpses have 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 their table; a trash bin is available outside of the tent for this purpose.

Evidence found during the investigation, on the other hand, will be displayed in a table by the pool shed. Any items found by the residents on Friday will be displayed here for further examination.

Finally — one of the grandfather clocks has been kidnapped from its respective floor to show the current hour. Please do remember you have until 9:00 PM to figure out whodunit and cast your vote. And if anyone tries to leave the area before the trial is over? They'll discover an invisible wall blocking their path.

( 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 Pool/Outdoor Dining Area (the pool shed will also be locked), 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.

But why-

Where did you-

How did you even get those matches...?!

[WHY FIRE]
ungodly: (no alibi)

[personal profile] ungodly 2017-06-17 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
So you don't like fire either, huh?

[ she's a pretty safe distance away from it. ]
thawedheart: (bitch let me out)

[personal profile] thawedheart 2017-06-17 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I have... bad memories of it.

[really bad memories

apparently fire is a go-to for getting ice demons to cry, who knew]
ungodly: the plague, jenny hval (i don't know who i am)

[personal profile] ungodly 2017-06-17 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Me too. I was burned alive a long time ago. I just remembered that recently. Fire's.. really scary. When you think about it, this is probably the safest place to be if something's on fire.

[ she crosses her arms, trying not to look over at it. ]

So you must've been pretty scared yesterday. What'd you do when the explosion happened?
thawedheart: (peek-a-boo i see you)

[personal profile] thawedheart 2017-06-17 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[what

but if she was, where are her burns... yukina looks like she wants to ask, but that has nothing to do with the trial, s..o... maybe that's a conversation they can have later]


I was with Suzaku-san... he told me it was safer if we went to investigate the city, then came back to check out the damage once it was over.

You told Quer you stayed with Akira last night. When did you get up and why weren't you with him?
thawedheart: (not quite decapitation)

[personal profile] thawedheart 2017-06-17 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[bc i wanted to investigate with danielle and we had that toplevel written before we knew about the explosion tbh]

I don't know the time exactly, but we had just started for the gardens when the explosion happened, so... I guess only a minute or two before it happened.

I'll be blunt... we all know by now that people will be dead on Friday. It seems most effective to split up and cover more ground first thing in the morning. Quer-san can confirm that she and I haven't investigated together, although we were in the same room every night except this last Thursday.

From Craftly-san...?!

[WHY]
(reply from suspended user)
thawedheart: (how about NO)

[personal profile] thawedheart 2017-06-17 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[...wait a minute]

But Craftly-san said his men can't deliver weapons, earlier today. If... matches were used by someone to kill, then wouldn't they be weapons?

[So how'd he get them from room service? She's confused.

And also really freaked out by the fire.]

[personal profile] thawedheart 2017-06-17 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Jay-san wasn't, either!

[She shakes her head.]

Even if you were going to accuse him, did... did it have to be... like that?

I don't know about that. You might as well have announced this while you were being dropped into the pool.

And as I've said before, good thing I don't need your permission to give it.

...you've attracted a lot of attention at the earlier trials though...
(reply from suspended user)
thawedheart: (about to ask a real dumb question)

[personal profile] thawedheart 2017-06-17 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
...and you wouldn't waste time at one of these trials, so there must be some reason for your fun...

[hajime's already stolen his thunder though

whoops]

thawedheart: (i worry because you're dumb)

...okay, but...

[She's just. Edging away from the fire.]

thawedheart: (oh shit son)

[personal profile] thawedheart 2017-06-17 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[She nods slowly.]

...you don't... really think Jay-san did it, do you? ...because I'm sure he didn't. I'm sure of it.
