( 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.

[Nope, someone else will have to do that.]

Oh, and the Prophets made far less use of the mirrors and free weaponry than you think. Another negative ten points from your speech.

I'm actually rather hoping to die, but I suppose that would interfere with the Hunters' plans at the moment.

[literally the only reason he's bothering to make an effort to live anymore, thanks to Andersen's everything this week.]

[Girge just gives him a tired look, before walking away.

In the end, his life has become a tool yet again, to be used by everyone else other than him (or rather, he supposes it always was here; he merely feels it all the more keenly now). Hoping for anything more was too much, apparently.

So congratulations, Andersen. If that was what you wanted, you succeeded.]
ninjay: (come to take me.)

[ ugh fine, he'll do girge's work for him. ]

You won't become the Innkeeper of this realm. So whoever kills Craftly will take his place here, but that's not the same as taking the deal. Whoever takes it will be in charge somewhere else.

I'm just correcting the information you said.

... it's what would have happened if people had listened to Mira during the trial that caught her. If you kill the Innkeeper, you take the Innkeeper's place.

Where's the "somewhere else"?
ninjay: (or maggots and dirt.)

[personal profile] ninjay 2017-06-24 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Not here.

[ duh. ]

I don't have the exact details of how it all works, but you won't be residing in this exact town.
godly: (this is me unimpressed with you.)

[personal profile] godly 2017-06-24 04:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[not helpful!!]

I see. I'm just curious about the details behind this fate.
ninjay: (i am not ignorant.)

[personal profile] ninjay 2017-06-24 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
We don't have to kill Craftly to end this game. I... [ he looks over to the innkeeper and frowns. ] It has nothing to do with the final caveat needed to send everyone home.
godly: (grandiose dreams)

[personal profile] godly 2017-06-24 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
That being a willingness to sacrifice one's life as they know it to save the rest. Is this something you're really willing to do, Jay?
ninjay: ('cause i don't wanna know.)

[personal profile] ninjay 2017-06-24 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. All three of us made the choice to accept that fate, and we are still holding to that. I was given an incentive to accept the role as a Hunter, and as long as that has been taken care of, then I don't need be home for it.

[...Ah. Suddenly that makes more sense.]

It must have been a very powerful motivator for you. Something that you couldn't achieve on your own at home.

It's worth more than my life.

[ he glances at the crowd. ]

Anyone can accept the deal, but just because they can doesn't mean they should. I'm sure a lot of you have important things to go back to.
godly: (whatevs loser)

[personal profile] godly 2017-06-24 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nods.]

I do. I suppose I'm just not as selfless as the Hunters. But I can't abandon what I have waiting for me at home.

Because of that, I should extend my gratitude to you. If no one else has.
ninjay: (are these angels.)

[personal profile] ninjay 2017-06-24 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he blinks, looking a little taken aback. it takes him a few seconds to respond. ]

Thank you.

[i can't believe light fucking yagami is the one actually expressing gratitude in this whole post

Anyway, just a nod, and he leaves Jay alone. He has a bit more to worry about right now.]
