( 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.

[ oh.

he hadn't been expecting the hug, and he grips craftly for a moment before letting go. it's funny, how they've only been a team for only five weeks now. it feels longer, and he kind of hates how attached he's gotten.

when craftly lets go, and ruffles his hair, jay's hand immediately goes back into his pocket to hold onto the piece of candy. it's a reminder of what they went through. ]


We wouldn't have lasted this long without you. I... [ his voice trails off. ]

[Yukina feels almost like she might cry again, and though the tentacles were sort of unnerving at the start of all this... they're comforting, now. She hugs him tightly, because they can all see that this is soon going to be coming to an end.]

I never knew my father. [She doesn't know if he even really counts as her father; she's the spitting image of her mother, which means she was born a full-blooded Koorime. But she has a brother, which means her mother took up with a man.] ...but I think I would have liked it if he was like you, Craftly-san.

[She gives him another firm hug.]

...we won't be afraid. Thank you for the strength you've lent us.

[ there's a long pause as hajime considers his words. she gets it, really, and she understands it entirely, but it takes her brain a few moments to let it click together. the prospect of dying is still horrifyingly real and it's still happening. it's there for a moment - reconsideration. there's got to be another way.

but she remembers andersen's got stuff to do, so she nods. ]


You'll get an incentive from it still, right?

[ the smile's back, instantly. ]

[since he is not looking forward to watching all his friends and ... murder acquaintances kill each other or themselves, it's time for Dipper to hand his sister that poison drink and take one himself]

Think we can pretend this is cough syrup?

[ honestly, violet has spent a lot of time thinking about how she would kill herself. not out of suicidal thought, but knowing that if someone else killed her they would die during the investigation and thus not be able to be executed. it was a more concerning thought before they had all these multiple murders, anyway. she didn't want to leave anyone stuck executing an innocent just because of her role.

it would be easier, probably, to take one of those green drinks craftly provided. but nah. she's got the scalpel dave gave her and is just going to step away from the group a bit to avoid covering them in blood. ]


Well, may as well get it over with.

[ because she's just going to casually feel for her jugular and stab her scalpel right in. she'll rip it back out as she falls to the ground so she can bleed out. which takes a couple of minutes, google tells me, so whoops but oh well that's. fine. she'll just lay here and die for a couple of minutes ish, ignore her. have fun dying, y'all.

Violet Baudelaire is dead. ]

[oh. shit]

[it's been a long time since Kaito's really felt fatherly affection. Inspector Nakamori was a great pseudo-father, but still not quite as warm as he remembers his own old man being. so when his hair is ruffled, he can't help the way something tightens sharply in his chest]

[he leans into Craftly some more, nudging his arm slightly with his own]


Yeah.

We have nothing to be afraid of. We'll try to make you proud, all the way up to the very end.

[Dirk doesn’t bother with stalling. He, who hates to watch those he cares for die, witnesses all of them to make sure that the goal is secure, to ensure that no one will backstab them at the last moment. Then, with a nod to Jake, he takes out Clem’s knife.

He has never been afraid of dying. He has often been afraid to not exist. Today, though, he just wants to be done.

He reaches out to hold Jake's hand.]

[ what she'd like? she's not sure. she feels strongarmed into this, but this is the best thing to do. her presence won't be necessary. her role as the operator is public knowledge. she's played her role as the hero as long as possible. jake had said that sometimes heroes lose so that they can come back and give a real wallop to the villains later. ]

Do you think I should want something? I don't know what I want. Even now, I think I'd just like to break through and solve this some other way.

[ ...! wait! ]

I made a promise to someone, can I do something really quickly?
pinesfortruth: (uhhhh why)

[personal profile] pinesfortruth 2017-06-25 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
I think that was milk. [hm. so he's got one hand in Mabel's and the other holding the drink, just staring at it] Cult kool-aid. I think I've read something about this.

[he looks at mabel]

On the count of three?

[ Clementine sticks with Jake and Dirk as long as she can. But she knows she'll probably need to go first, with how stubborn Dirk is.

She uses the gun she'd stolen from Tsurugi.

One shot through the skull. Clementine is dead. ]

[It'll be the toxic drink for Light. He's too vain, too proud, to leave anything even remotely close to a bloody corpse.

There's no need for lengthy goodbyes, not for him. Again, expediency was always his priority, and therefore he merely moves to take a seat at a lounge chair next to the pool, ice clinking in its glass.

If you want to talk to him once more before he's off to the gy, now's the chance.

Otherwise, a mere few minutes later, and Light Yagami will be dead.]

[It feels weird to only have one gun but he couldn't justify grabbing two. It's a nice gun, at least. He really does like flintlocks. They're classy. Sort of a gentleman's weapon.

Right now, he's just staring at it, holding Dirk's hand.]


You can go first. You want this a mite bit more than I do.
