( TRIAL - WEEK 5 )



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, children. As the Dining Hall is still under reparations — 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. A single towel that still has sludge on it floats among the accessories in the pool. Looks like no one bothered to really clean it up from Friday. 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 still.

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.

That's impossible. I've been told my presence alone is the worst and I should die. Maybe not talking would be even worse.

[ ... she's joking? ]

But do we know who all that includes? It needs to be clear.

Oh, I'll certainly ask before I do it. That would be far too hypocritical of me not to. How much ammo does it have, though? Does it have enough? Otherwise, we'd have to prioritize in certain ways.

Limited. However, as per my role, I do have another gun, and that one happens to be infinite.

You misunderstand. I win, no matter what any of you do.

I'm just happening to assist the Hunters because it doesn't hurt me. You're forgetting that I would've killed you all, with or without reviving everyone at the end.

Shotguns are pretty nasty. [THEM SCATTER SHOTS] Do you think you could land headshots every time?

I know you say that but... you guys have kind of acted like it. The um, smarter and better thing. I do get it, though. I know you guys care. I wouldn't be so angry if I thought you were all callous killers. Then it would have been like with Mira, where you kind of have to go, "Well, I suppose that's just how she is." You know?

TIMELINE

[personal profile] g101 2017-06-24 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ there's the distinct sound of a bunch of... things hitting the table. hajime opens her arms and every condom from percival's pocket has been used for water balloons. they just hit the table. they smack the table wetly and then roll around. a glass falls. it's fine. ]

I found the condoms!!

[ OBVIOUSLY. ]

Also, I'm the Operator.

The moment someone dies I get a phone call, so I've been writing down the times of death and what I heard. ...[ slow exhale. ] Phew! It's great saying that finally.

[ SHE ACTUALLY LOOKS.... really relieved. ]

Maybe it's pointless at this time, but... At least we can try and figure out what happened to everyone so they might not be so mad with us all??

[ she's got nothing else, at least.

a faceless man holds up a paper for everyone to see. ]


This is everything I heard and when I got the phone calls. I wrote down who I think died and when... Um, sorry, if it's graphic.

[ she's a little used to it. gruesome, but necessary. ]

I don't really care. Even if it seems impossible, I'm going to break through.

I like them... they're very kind. Even if they do say strange things sometimes. [they're also punks who will fight Literally Everyone if she gets stuck here, which is. part of why she wants to get stuck here? Unleash Yusuke Urameshi and Kazuma Kuwabara on the lovecraftian horrors, please.]

...I believe you. But I also know... I'd be of very little use from the outside, Jake-san. I want to do what I can from the inside, while leaving the people who do have the power to change things free to do so.

[And then, more quietly...]

And I guess... I'm selfish. I care about all of you a lot, and I don't want to see any of you left here. I'd rather bear that myself than see you suffer.

I'm confident in my accuracy, but I should note that "collateral damage" is guaranteed—or, as the Unclean has elaborated, another will always die at random alongside my chosen target, and that's outside of my control.

What good does any of this do?

[ but ]

Friday morning. 7:58 was Emily. 7:59 was Tsurugi. I killed him, so we already know that. How was it... Different?

[Oh. Emily's.

Oh no.]


Tsurugi was likely the last death.

[His voice is very quiet. He can't stop thinking about how she sounded when he said she had been chosen.]
