( 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.

It's a little different when you can account for your bullets and limitations. He disproved that it was his gun. That's more than just claiming you didn't use your weapon.

I remember in Stuck 4 Deceased 2, they added melee weapons to the game with the new zombie types. Guns, obviously run out of ammo, but it's harder to defend yourself. If he's really the Woodsman, there's only so much he can do to say he "didn't use it". Melee weapons are simple... you just hit stuff.

...I hated that add-on.

[ does not really understand ]

So it's about if we can find an axe that isn't from a role. I agree that it's a possibility, but I don't think it's worth our time to just doubt what evidence points to because there might be some secret evidence no one knows about.

[ even though that's literally what fucked over Hana. shh... shh...... ]

We have evidence this week alone that two weapons were found that shouldn't exist, used to try to frame someone. I'd say everything is in doubt.

Well, today they're doing a bang-up job turning us on each other, so they probably facilitate some murders.

Jake's probably right on that.

[He is looking at this bullshit chaos with resignation.]

We're doing a fantastic job distrustin' each other and feelin' slighted for betrayals or lack of faith. That might be one way they keep the murders going as the cycle gets further in and the straight-up psychopaths have been weeded out.

But anyone who would kill over being suspected of killing is a moron. That's the - it's the whole point. You can't blame... I wouldn't blame any of the people here for suspecting me, even if I liked them!

[ she is losing the ability to articulate herself well ]

Yeah, it is stupid.

[But people are stupid. Dirk is incredibly stupid, not about himself but about other people, people he desperately cares for. And he would not kill someone for suspecting them, but he wouldn't be surprised if someone killed him for the way he barks to their defence.]

You're right, Clem.

I think we need to consider Suzaku, but look at everything else too. There were the three other candles — a handgun, a rifle, and sleeping pills.

[ She isn't ignorant to think it's a high possibility. ]

I guess our future murderers should wear a hairnet next trial...

It really does. We have one vote and it's going to be impossible with the Mayor still out there to keep the votes from splitting...
