( 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.

[The timeline makes him sad for Emily, so he's going to play with a water balloon instead. Time to do this with his remaining life.]

It's not your fault, Hajime. Very few people wish to die. I'm sure you heard that enough on your phone.

[Now with DUAL SLAPPING ACTION.]

[ this is a serious conversation. over condoms filled with water. ]

Ummm... no matter where I go, the phone will probably follow me. So now that I've said it, everyone will probably hear the ringer. If we start killing each other.

[ really, that scares her most. ] I wanna find another way, but there isn't, is there.

There might be, but I'm more afraid we don't have the time to find it. [And their Time player is dead and also he didn't have his powers here anyway, so.] If this goes beyond the trial, we'll have to have an execution. If it goes beyond that, people may panic and kill.

It's better to come to a decision we can agree on, even if it's a temporary loss. You said you're a hero, right? Sometimes you lose a fight with a big bad before you wallop them something fierce, right?

[personal profile] g101 2017-06-24 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
But it sounds like we don't even get that. Boooooooo.

[ they really are backed into a corner. ] You guys give up really easily. What made you decide this was better?
potentite: (cause i'd never say no to you)

[personal profile] potentite 2017-06-24 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
For me, it's mostly the time factor. If this had come out even a week ago, it would be different, I think? We'd have so many more people to discuss with and put our heads together. But... we're really down to the wire on survivors now.
g101: (different colors)

[personal profile] g101 2017-06-24 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I think last week would have been even more chaotic. At least we know who killed them.

[ LONG SIGH. ]

They were looking for another way, too. I guess. ...In the end, it's the way things are.

We're not giving up forever. Dirk and I will get our powers back when we leave, though I... think mine would be more useful possibly... [wtf is heart.] But so will the rest. And I'm not giving up on this no matter where I go. [A beat.] And since Dirk and I are immortal, that's a long ass time.
g101: (we took to the floor and she said)

[personal profile] g101 2017-06-24 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ oh. ]

How'd you become immortal?
potentite: (080)

[personal profile] potentite 2017-06-24 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
We died. In a specific spot, to be precise. It's a mechanic of the game we were a part of prior to this, so we should be able to come up with something eventually.

[ there's a long pause, and then. ]

Jake, I think your life might sound more exciting than mine.

It's been something, that's for sure. And I guess will continue to be something? [Clem's from a zombie apocalypse so.] But I don't mind.
