( 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.

[HE'S. . . kind of been hanging back from the crowds, actually. sticking close to Jay and Yukina and Girge, and then rushing to Craftly once he starts bleeding from the mouth. everyone else has made their displeasure clear, and everyone else has been focusing on making their final decisions]

[he glances up when he hears his name though, blinking at Hajime with wide eyes]


-- eh? Hajime. . .

We do it at the same time. Like we agreed.

[He wishes he could offer to kill Jake for him. He knows he can't.]

[hanging back! probably hovering near Craftly, especially after his whole, uh. problem. also he's holding his hand up to his mouth, looking kind of distant and thoughtful about something? huh]

[when she approaches, he kind of gives the drinks a distasteful look]


. . . so this is how it is. . .

[ I'm a mod so of course I gotta die.

Chiaki looked at the three options like it was the opening of [INSERT VAGUE KINGDOM HEARTS REFERENCE HERE]. She had options: a peaceful poisoned death, a quick but unsure death, or a pull of a trigger kinda death. She isn't sure which to pick, but when she does... it's the Flintlock. It's weight is heavy in her hand, a bit different than a controller.

She's watching people begin to drift off, and looking down alone, she walks towards the pool. It's... for the best, right?

With a pull of the trigger under her jaw, Chiaki's lifeless body flops right into the very waters dumb dumb Akira pulled her into the week before.

Chiaki Nanami is dead. ]

A bullet will kill me faster than your knife. The timing will be off anyway. [He's not sure if he's stalling or not.]

then laughs, and ruffles his hair like she would to dipper or mabel.]

And I'm supposed to be the pedant. [A nudge.]

I'll be out in an instant. It's okay.

I'm breaking my promise first. Sorry. ...Maybe there's a moon on the other side, though.

[ she trusts andersen too much not to go. this is the right thing - she can feel it.

but... she's not going to leave him hanging. ]
We're not going to see each other when we leave this city, you know. So I don't think anything we do here matters all that much to anyone but us.

[ she's going somewhere with this, but when she's able to, she'll reach out to grab his hand. ]

It's cleaner than the other methods.

[ he's just giving the drink a blank look. the three of them did come into the trial expecting to die, so... he can't say he's 100% surprised about that part. the rest of it though? ]

It's only been five weeks.
thawedheart: (stares or whatever)

[personal profile] thawedheart 2017-06-25 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
...it's hard to believe it's only been that long.

[Yukina looks down at her drink, her fingers curling around the glass. ...her hands are shaking a little - but it's only natural, she thinks.]

Still, if it had to be this way... I'm glad we're doing this together.

[she grabs his hand, her fingers warm against his palm. his gaze flickers down in surprise, cheeks heating up for like the millionth time in all his conversations with her]

[. . . he huffs!!]


S'not nice to break promises, though.

[he twists his fingers with hers, holding on tightly, and manages a sly smile. mitigated only by his dumb blush, of course]

But. . . sure. I suppose we never specified whether the moon had to be on this side or the other.

Are you sure? I just— I don't know. Sorry. I'm sorry.

for jay :*

[personal profile] wristbands 2017-06-25 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
[she hadn't really considered getting to die on her own terms. she honestly expected to get killed in her sleep, stabbed in the back. certainly she didn't think she'd be murdered by one of the people she trusts the most in this hellish world.

she's too scared she'll get cold feet if she tries to kill herself. she'd rather be dead for sure, by the hands of a good person, than mess up and somehow survive like they do in those documentaries. only if that happens, she's pretty sure she won't end up on the kind of tv time slot where you see the commercials trying to get you to donate to sad animals with sarah mclachlan singing in the background.

so here she and jay are, face to face, her wondering how exactly he plans to kill her.]


We gotta make less messed up promises next time.

[. . . he'd honestly prefer to die by someone else's hand. go out in a blaze of glory, if this is how it has to be. still. . . he traces the edges of the glass with his thumb, and sighs]

Remember how we said we were in this together, from the very beginning?

[chin up!]

Even if things didn't turn out how we planned, our goals were still realized. So. . .

[holds up his drink in a. . . toast. . . well, why not]

Bottom's up?

It's okay, bro. We got to stay together to the end of this.

[Dirk leans over and kisses Jake, careful and kind.]

Andersen is going to save us. We'll be okay.
ninjay: (brass and pearl.)

[personal profile] ninjay 2017-06-25 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ jay would have been willing to kill the both of them if they asked him to. but... it does seem better to do it like this. girge is out there, somewhere, trying his best to ignore their sap probably.

but he'll raise his glass too. ]


We made a lot of mistakes, but... thanks for making them with me, every step of the way.

[personal profile] potentite 2017-06-25 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
[He kisses him back.] I know, I know. Just... Sorry. [He can't look at him now that he's started crying.] Anyway, let's just hurry up I guess.
splinten: appl-juice42 @ tumblr (now you can stop wondering)

[personal profile] splinten 2017-06-25 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Dirk hugs him.]

I forgive you, Jake. Always have.

[He draws back.]

On my count down?
thawedheart: (you're about to make a fortune)

[personal profile] thawedheart 2017-06-25 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
[She raises her glass as well, bringing it close enough to the others for the rims to clink lightly against each other.]

I'll see you both on the other side.

Thank you... for everything.

[ the combination of a smile and a blush is a direct hit to the heart. she's weak to cute things. why is this her life. ] You look really boyish. It's pretty cute.

[ but... she owes him. ] This is the other reason I talked about earlier! Sorry, but I'm not dying with unfinished business.

You're really cute! I couldn't do it before, I didn't... understand the situation, I guess. After the investigation, I think I kind of knew, but I wasn't ready. But... I don't want to leave without telling you that or doing this.

[ standing on the tips of her toes, she'll lean in to kiss him. gently, because his lip is split and she's not looking to make it hurt more. ]
potentite: (Default)

[personal profile] potentite 2017-06-25 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
[He appreciates it even if it doesn't really help the crying part. Honestly, he's just trying not to cry since he has to see Mira in a few minutes and she's going to think he's lame again and that's really the last thing he needs after this. But fine, he's lame, he guesses.]

Mhm. Go ahead.

[Jake will just cling to his hand.]
ninjay: (to the beat of a blood red sun.)

[personal profile] ninjay 2017-06-25 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
It's a bad habit of mine.

[ he pulls out a dagger from his pocket. it's definitely not one that came from the setting, so it's safe to assume he got it from the unclean. he twirls it around his finger, looking at chie steadily.

jay doesn't move forward yet though. ]


I'll make it quick. Are you ready?
splinten: appl-juice42 @ tumblr (out of me)

[personal profile] splinten 2017-06-25 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Dirk will punch Mira so hard if she even thinks about it.]

I love you.

[Dirk slits his throat. Blood sprays; pressure drops. He falls, and before long, Dirk Strider is dead.]

[personal profile] nowyouseeit 2017-06-25 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
[clinks!]

Thank you.

I'm glad we were allies, and. . . friends. I can't think of better people to have messed up with, honestly.

[time to down this drink like it's a shot, he guesses!]
