( 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.

It smelled too bad to tell. [cult kool aid works] Yeah, they drink kool-aid then they smash through walls to talk about Jehova's Witnesses!

[she squeezes his hand and refuses to let go] On the count of three.

I love you, too.

[Though he still waits a second after Dirk does it before he actually puts the gun to his head. He doesn't know how long it takes for someone to die like Dirk did, so he insists on waiting for the timing to match, until it seems like Dirk isn't really there, until he fires a perfect shot into his head. Jake English is dead.]

[ heather didn't want any part of this. in the ritual, in killing, in anything. and sometimes the best thing to do.. was nothing.

she slips out of her vest and shoes until she's standing there in just shorts and a tank top, then puts a toe in the pool. it's a little cold, so she recoils before putting the whole thing in. foregoing caution, she jumps right in and floats idly to the other side, staring at the sky — at the sun.

before any of the murdering, the suicide, the pandemonium begins, she takes a deep breath, then swims down as far as she can, doing her best to stay there and drown out the sound. this was the only way she had to not see. to be.. uninvolved.

heather mason is alive. ]

See you in a moment then.

[Girge stands to the side, staring into the distance. His expression is blank, as he waits for it to all be over—as Mabel dies, as the Hunters die. (As nearly everyone he's come to form any attachment to is gone.)

So, this is what it's come down to.

Girge is alive.]

[he tilts his head, lifting both brows, as though to silently ask her what she means. if he intended to say something along with that expression, well]

[she leans in before he can, mouth pressed against his, and holy shit his heart skips a beat and he swears he's about to spontaneously explode]

[there's a delay, but it's a short one as he regains his bearings. his grip tightens on her hand again, and he leans forward eeever so slightly to return that kiss]

[because]

[well, she's right. they might not see each other again after this, so. . . why the hell not?]

[In sync with the other two as she tends to be - who knew rock-paper-scissors would be a prediction of this? - Yukina throws back her drink as well.

Once their glasses are empty, she'll set hers down and reach for their hands.]

As ready as I can be.

[she lowers her guard, perhaps for the first time since she first arrived in yuggoth five weeks ago. there's a weak smile on her lips, simultaneously stressed and peaceful, somehow. she looks like she has one last thing to say, though.]

Can I get one last thing, though? Like, a final request?

[He doesn't bother to look in Andersen's direction. Sorry, Andersen. If nothing else, though, it's hard to say if he's purposely ignoring him or if it's because he genuinely doesn't notice him.]

[ it is what it is. there's no chance beyond this, and hajime supposes they've only got precious moments. the trouble is, she's not a fantastic kisser; she remembers to close her eyes this time (poor katze), but she's very simple. chaste, the poets might call it. inexperience is mostly what it is.

just another reminder she's dying young.

hajime lingers, then. it's only when she's aware that she's wasting time that she'll pull away, leaning down. for someone so forward, she's wearing a blush. ]


...I think that's as good as we can get here. Maybe another life.

[ who knows, really. ] Sorry. I'm not ready to let go, but I have to. Are you gonna be okay?

ninjay: (you say it's not so hard.)

Of course. What is it?

[ his voice is soft, low enough so that only she can hear it. ]

[Kaito does likewise, grasping Jay's on one side and Yukina's on the other. he closes his eyes, exhales deeply, and waits]

[. . . it's peaceful, at least. ever bit as quiet and calm as what he offered to Akira on Friday morning]

[his grip will loosen on Yukina and Jay's hands soon enough as he slips away, and before too long has passed. . .]

[Kaito Kuroba is dead]

[okay he's going to freeze because what the hell is this.

Girge hasn't exactly had many hugs in his life, can you tell.]


... What?
pinesfortruth: (not sure if fry meme or dipper icon)

[personal profile] pinesfortruth 2017-06-25 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
No, I'm pretty sure that wasn't it.

[squeezes]

Okay. One...

[ all the other times they've done this, jay had always been slow to return their grasp. he looks at them both, and for a second it seems like that's all he's going to say, until he suddenly looks away to where girge is standing. ]

We'll be seeing you later, too.

[ it's not soon after that where his eyes, too, will close.

jay is dead. ]

[it isn't as though he's too experienced, either. it may be simple and chaste, but it's still sweet, and honestly? probably a better send off than what he was originally expecting when this trial started]

[he pulls back when she does, inhaling sharply, but his hand has migrated from hers so he can ghost his fingers feather light against her jaw. his face is still beet red, but he looks pretty satisfied at the blush on her cheeks too. he grins]

[aaaaaaaah]


. . . yeah. Maybe another life.

[because even now, he knows his heart beats for another, and that isn't going to change any time soon. no matter how cute or endearing Hajime is, or how bright her smile has shone throughout this whole stupid ordeal]

[he still likes her smile]


I'll be okay. This is. . . what we were fighting for. [as. morbid as that sounds?] What about you?
thawedheart: (gently expires)

[personal profile] thawedheart 2017-06-25 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
[It doesn't take long at all. It really is as quick and easy as falling asleep. She's vaguely aware of Jay turning to someone else - she follows his gaze with the last of her strength, and her eyes lock on Girge.

Before she can open her mouth, though, they slide shut, and her grip on Jay's and Kaito's hands goes slack.

Yukina is dead.]
disinterested: (go out with a smile;)

[personal profile] disinterested 2017-06-25 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
...

[Girge doesn't respond, but something in the way his expression shifts made it clear he heard.

Yeah. See you later, and goodbye.]

[you know what? she's not even going to ask permission, because he's literally about to stab her. so without hesitation, she reaches out and wraps her arms around jay's slight frame, laughing in spite of how ridiculous the situation before them is.]

Accept that me, Dipper, and Mabel are your friends.
g101: (and it's a long way forward)

[ you can't expect someone who loves physical contact to not lea into his hand, really. hajime winces when she moves, put she presses his hand closer. ]

Heroes go down fighting. I'll be back lickety-split to give'em a big wallop.

[ apparently jake did get through to her.

hajime raises a fist for a bump. ]
I'm gonna put my life in Andie's hands now, but one more for the road?
