( 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 |

[when she approaches, he kind of gives the drinks a distasteful look]
. . . so this is how it is. . .
no subject
[ 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.
no subject
[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.
no subject
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?
no subject
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.
no subject
I'll see you both on the other side.
Thank you... for everything.
no subject
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!]
no subject
[ he will instead also down it like a shot right when kaito does. ]
no subject
Once their glasses are empty, she'll set hers down and reach for their hands.]
no subject
[. . . 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]
no subject
We'll be seeing you later, too.
[ it's not soon after that where his eyes, too, will close.
jay is dead. ]
no subject
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.]
no subject
[Girge doesn't respond, but something in the way his expression shifts made it clear he heard.
Yeah. See you later, and goodbye.]
