( 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: 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. 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 voting | profiles | menu | locations | ic rulebook |

[reaches out to grasp her hands tightly]
. . . I still don't want you to be the one to take it. But then again, I don't want Andersen to take it, either. Or Jay.
no subject
[But... they're not in a better world. They're in this one.]
All we can do is the best with what we have.
no subject
You're brave. Still one of the bravest people I know here.
no subject
[Her breath catches a little, but she keeps smiling.]
I'm really very grateful... to all of you.
no subject
Hey. . . are you okay?
no subject
[She's not crying! She's. Almost crying. But no tears have been spilled yet, it's fine.]
Just... glad that I got to meet you.
no subject
. . .
Y'know, I never really thought about it, but when all of this is over. . . I guess none of us will see each other again, huh?
[yeah that's the right thing to say to someone who is crying just as she's about to probably offer her life to a Cthulhu god for eternity]
no subject
[It's a little bitterwseet. Yukina wipes at her eyes, not wanting any tears to fall.]
But I'm sure we'll never forget each other, either.
no subject
[he wonders. . . ]
[well, whatever he wonders, he doesn't say aloud]
Yeah. I know I sure won't.
no subject
no subject
Yeah. . . I am.
I was really worried for a while there. S'why I spoke up at the beginning.
