WEEK THREE: TRIAL

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!

[ beau has. a lot of injuries still healing from the past weeks. her ankle's still got bandages around it, she still has healing human teeth bite marks all over her torso. what are we checking here specifically. ]

[brokethefirst]

[Checking the limbs, hands (under the fingernails), and feet! Also noting what kind of footwear she has on, if any.]

[disreguarded]

[ her hand has a week old slash that looks kind of weird, like it was cut with something with ridges. her knuckles are busted and bruised. she's got some dried blood under her fingernails. no shoes! her ankle's kind of swollen so she's been going barefoot. her feet are dirty but otherwise fine. ]

[brokethefirst]

Could I ask about the blood on your hands, Beau? [How dry is dry? Has it been there for a While?]

[disreguarded]

Yeah, sorry. I had to pull the arrow out of A-Sang's leg and it was messy. Blood's hard to get off and I also spent like, most of Friday high, so.
