WEEK THREE: TRIAL

OCCUPANCY: 26

Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey.

Despite the events of the day before, when you wake up on Saturday it almost feels as though nothing is out of place. Breakfast is still served at 7am on the spot, the house is still peaceful, and yet the distinct feeling that something isn't quite right continues to follow you wherever you go.

It soon becomes obvious that today is a different kind of day. One by one, all of you will begin to feel the urge to return to the ballroom where this event began. Try as you might, you'll find that these feelings can't be easily ignored despite your best efforts. Should you find yourself still resisting by 11:55am, a strong unseen force will guide you straight into the ballroom.

When all have gathered in the room, the doors will lock behind you at 12pm sharp. The feast table has been set to provide guests with hors d'oeuvres and beverages, but that's not all. In the center of this table rests a large wooden box and two baskets of crayons and notecards.

And of course, seated in front of the wall of profile plaques are your three lovely hosts. Peach, Plum and Pumpkin wait patiently for all to gather before drawing attention.

"Someone here is a murderer," they say, pointing up at the plaque of the house rules.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the fourth trial!

We'll go over a few notes briefly as we will be playing this trial a bit differently than other games.

While there was a mini-investigation on Friday, today is the day participants can really dive in to investigate areas in the game setting, check over the body and review evidence that they find! Please see the toplevels in this post for more information. To help with the ease of the trial and for IC mechanics, only one location may be visited at a time. One of your hosts will also be accompanying you on these visits.

Most importantly, before the trial is over, please place your character's vote over on the voting page. Voting will close at 9pm EST/6pm PST, and will serve as our activity check for the week, so please be sure you get your vote in before it ends unless you have contacted us previously. Please also be sure to read the voting page carefully, as we're trying a fun new bonus mechanic this game!

Me too. [She's missed talking :(] I think I'll be okay after this...I know what to do now to make sure it doesn't happen again.

[hmmmm. . .]

Be careful. Take care of yourself, all right?

[There's a light smile.] Shouldn't I be saying that to you, Akira?

[. . . POKES HER FOREHEAD]

I ate magic beans and my leg is all better.

[he is still missing half????]

[A startled meow!]

Your leg is half better! [Because yeah, he's still missing half!!]

[tear him a new one peach]

[FUCK OFF AKECHI]

[nah.]

[go back to solving murders!!!]

[he can do both.]

[B(]

[an amused twitch of his lips]

Well. . . someone did me a favor that's going to help with that.

[???]

Just wait. Next week I'll be good as new.

[uh...]

[flashes her a smile and mouths, I'll show you later]

[then gestures to his injured leg and mimes pulling someone onto it, like a boot??]

[...Ah. OK she can take an educated guess.

She'll nod, though she still looks kind of ???]

[WELL BABO KIM STARED AT HIM FUNNY SO HE JUST CAME OUT AND SAID IT. . . but he will still show her later!1]

Wait, what?

[hi]

. . . I was trying to be coy, but if so many of you are being suspicions I'll just come out and say it.

Hunter asked one of the sisters to get me a prosthesis.

You can't really say something like that and not have people wonder.

But a prosthetic, huh? You should make it fancy while you're at it.

It's already fancy.

[nod nods!! he seems pleased!!]

I haven't tried it out yet, but I'm going to give it a go tomorrow. When everything calms down.

Good luck! Wanna race once you get used to it?

[...she doesn't quite reply but her tail flicks curiously. She can guess at least.]

I'm glad to hear that. But until then take it easy.

[HE HAS GOOD FRIENDS 8(]

I will. And you too, Peach.

[More headpets for Akira. That's it, that's all she has to contribute.]

[IT IS OKAY HE HAS NOTHING IMPORTANT TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS TRIAL AT ALL EXCEPT FURRY FLIRTING AND DISTRACTING PEOPLE BY BEING UNNECESSARILY COY]
