( TRIAL - WEEK 4 )

[abhoth]

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 yuggoth. ( quick navigation ) voting | profiles | menu | locations | ic rulebook

Why?

[rextenebrae]

[ He'll write his name on a piece of paper and hand it to him. ]

[thawedheart]

What do you want us to write?

[wait]

"Justice"...?

[disinterested]

[Scribbles down "Andersen was dropped into the pool" on a paper and hands it over!

He, uh, doesn't bother writing down his name.]

[nowyouseeit]

Got a pen and some paper?

[he asks, without hesitation]

[crimsonsparrow]

[Andersen will get what he asked for. But...he won't just write his name. He'll write his full title and station and everything in a nice, elegant penmanship.]

[pinesfortruth]

[throws a paper ball at Andersen's head

he did helpfully write his name and justice on it though???]

[shoelickingshit]

[ okay grandpa, he'll follow directions

Tsurugi's handwriting is like super messy and childish??? Like if you didn't know it was tsurugi's you would probably think a grade schooler did it.

sorry ]

[blacktailed]

[whatever you want, tiny man. her name and "justice" it is.]

[godly]

[Writes down Justice on a scrap of paper, followed by Yagami Light, and hands it to him, looking relatively unimpressed. Light's handwriting is neat and legible.]

[ungodly]

[ she writes her name, justice, and doodles a lil pic of andersen with a mermaid tail swimming ]

[g101]

[ hajime looks at the faceless man who provides her a pen and frowns. no asking them to draw or write for her this time. well.

it takes a long while but eventually a very shaky "hajime ichinose" and "justice" is scrawled and then pushed over toward andersen. ]

[ninjay]

[ ugh fine

he adds a bunch of hearts and stares at andersen ]

[lohengrins]

[ PERCIVAL and JUSTICE written in...actual cursive calligraphy. royals, what can you do about them. ]

[gamerscore]

[ Writes 'Apollo Justice Is a Cool Name' and then her name after.

Sliiiides it over. ]

[empireofrats]

[Her writing, despite maybe one day being beautiful script, it childishly atrocious right now.

She writes "Emily Kaldwin."]

[18x0]

[Writes her name and "justice" in nice neat handwriting! There u go gramps]
