WEEK FOUR: TRIAL
WEEK FOUR: TRIAL
OCCUPANCY: 23
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 fifth 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!

AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Hey! I've got something important to tell everyone. It's not related to the trial, so I wanted to get it out of the way quickly. Don't let it distract you from investigating Nick and Four's murders, but please keep everything I say in mind going forward.
So here's my PowerPoint presentation--
[it's not a real PowerPoint presentation. it's a bullet point list with each different bullet point being written on a slab of cardboard from the drawing room. every slab of cardboard is decorated with glitter and fun little chibi drawings of Plum, Pumpkin, and Peach!! he spent a lot of time on this]
[anyway, the slabs of cardboard are spread out across the table in order for people to read]
A BULLET POINT LIST OF THINGS EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW:
- As of Wednesday, Blue started answering people when they ring the bell near the bedroom. I don't know if Blue will answer for anyone, but as of right now I'm aware of three people who spoke to them face-to-face: myself, Akechi and Ken.
- Blue likes peeps chili, by the way. Feed them peeps chili.
- The mansion is its own entity. Weird things happen here because the house is alive. It is probably some sort of god.
- Blue is a god, too. Probably.
- We were brought here because both Blue and the house are trying to prove a "point." The house is doing it badly. I don't know what that "point" is, on either side. Some kind of competition, maybe? Nick thought maybe the house was trying to prove that humans suck and will kill each other given the opportunity, I don't know.
- Blue has been trying to help us. The people who can check us each week and determine who has "rabies" or not are directly under Blue's command. No, they haven't met Blue in person. And according to Blue, there isn't anyone else in the mansion with special privileges like this.
- Blue was invited here by the house themselves. I don't know what happened to them afterwards, but I get the feeling they're just as much of a captive here as we are.
- The reason Blue keeps inviting people here is to satiate the house so the house doesn't invade our worlds itself. That's why there have been several rounds of people who were brought here before us.
- Despite that, Blue wants to stop the cycle of violence. They said in order to do that, we have to find the "source" of the house and all of the bad things it's been causing. I don't know what the source is, or where it is, but Blue gave me a few hints: it's closer than we think it is, access to the "source" is available for those who seek it out, and the heart of the matter is what's most important.
- Apparently we have to separate Blue from the mansion if we want to leave? I didn't talk to Blue about this specifically, I heard it from a few other people. Maybe that's related to the "source?"
- To whoever killed over those stupid DVDs: o(-`д´- ｡) You suck.
- Seriously the last thing Blue wants us to do is kill each other so maybe let's not do that?? Okay???

summary............................
Good afternoon, everyone. If I could have everyone's attention— [Pleasantries first.] We have gone through this process several times already, so I will cut the the chase. Phoenix Wright and Four have been murdered. The cause of their death is still unknown, but I trust that those who volunteer to examine the will report their findings. For now, this is what I was able to discover by speaking to several of you.
Nicolas-san, Luna and I fell asleep in the music room last night. When we woke up, all three of us... Well, presumably, woke up to the same song stuck our heads. [He lifts a notebook, waving it a bit.] I have written the lyrics down if anyone would like to review them. Hunter, 45-san, Beauregard-san, Carbide-san, Jin Ling and Nie Huaisang all spent the night in the closet. When they regained consciousness, they immediately noticed two things were amiss. One, there was a heavy smell of perfume. Unless proven otherwise, I assume it is the same smell I perceived while speaking to Hunter, Beauregard-san and Nie Huaisang. However, the second effect was more troubling. Their fingertips were burnt. If this "effect" has not disappeared overnight, two possibilities remain. [So, uh, the members from that group should confirm if anything has changed.]
Meanwhile, Fotia-san and Thymos-san slept in the library. Thymos-san could not pinpoint the effect they received, but Fotia-san stated that his own knowledge of fires was deeper than usual. Additionally, Fotia-san's flamethrower went missing overnight. It supposedly has no gas left, but we will have to search for it. Kuji-kun and Agatsuma-san fell asleep in the astronomy tower. They, too, experienced an effect similar to that of last week; their sense of balance was off. And the group that spent the night in the war room... I was unable to speak to Ayabe-san and Kunihiro-san, but Agni-san noticed morse code on his wrist. All it say is "ha ha."
... If anyone woke up to another effect, please come forward and let us know. This will allow us to build a more comprehensive list of locations we may need to investigate.
[So... That's lovely. Once again, Akechi will make a list of these locations on the chalkboard for reference.]
Moving on, Hunter, Shima-san and I discovered blood and flour on the kitchen floor. I was unable to determine at the time the direction the drips of blood were headed, but that is something we should revisit today. Furthermore, the blood itself looked fresh. In the garden, Brilith-san found that the garden shed had caved in. She claimed it looked as if something fell from the astronomy tower. Finally, Missile-kun found a mess on the fourth floor. The beauty salon was inaccessible, but water had spilled out into the hallway. There was a heavy smell of flowers, as well... [A sigh.] It seems like Plum-san, once again, has her work cut out for her.
[Plum is the true victim of every week. Someone please let her go on vacation.]
Regardless, that is all I was able to learn yesterday. If you have any additional information, the floor is yours.

notes.....
[He's pulling some paper out of his pocket, and closing his eyes for a second before he shows everyone another picture and a note along with it. He is suffering.]
Just, you know, so everyone's on the same page. We probably don't have to worry about these two.

QUICK STATE OF FOUR'S BODY
Okay, whoever killed Four—seriously? I know I'm not in a good position to say this, but you really didn't have to go that far!
[oh right, state of the body]
Four's face is a little bruised, and her hand is kind of scuffed up like it hit something. I didn't notice anything else on her front, but someone else might want to double-check.
There sure was a lot on her back, though. Someone stabbed her all over from head to toe—the wound's similar to what a knife would make? And for some weird reason, bits of a table cloth was stuffed into some of the wounds.

PHOENIX'S BODY FINDINGS
Finished checking. Phoenix is pretty charred. All over, head to toe. Some of the stuff was from the break-in, I think - there was an arrow hole in his shoulder, his finger was splinted, his left wrist was broken.
He had this in his pocket, it - isn't burned. [ a phone! ] It turns on, I don't know how to use it. If someone wants to look through it to see, be my guest.
He got stabbed in the right side of his chest. And - his locket's gone, and so is the fucking charm I gave him, so if anybody finds that I want it back.

Wow. Those really survive anything.

STRIP!!!
[He's. He's providing the screen, though.]
Like last time. Everybody gets checked by two people. Take it all off. Explain any injuries, and who can confirm them. And we need to especially look for people with burns or injuries on their hands or bruises like they got punched, okay?

ASTRONOMY TOWER
ASTRONOMY TOWER:
- Fire and glass on the second and third floor hallways. The glass all looked to be from a liquor bottle of some sort. (Molotov?)
- Cooking oil on the stairs up to the astronomy tower itself. Lots of smoke.
- The tower was on fire and in slight disarray. There was more bottle glass on the floor. The windowsill had fire damage, as well as a clear view of the garden shed below, where the roof had been caved in.
We think someone may have been chased up to the tower, set on fire, and then fell through the windowsill into the garden. Akira believes the large amounts of glass might be from something like a molotov.
[She'll glance at the other two, dusting her chalk-filled hand off on her skirt.]
Am I missing anything?
no subject
The glass looked like it was from something that had been thrown, right? So yeah; I think a molotov cocktail is likely.

CLOSET AND SALON
[Hm!]
The closet was much less burnt - and I found this.
[Holding it up! Phoenix's ugly hat. He'll just, uh. Go ahead and toss that to Beau.]
The Salon is wrecked - it's been on fire for several days, I imagine. Hairspray was empty, most of the products were burnt.

GARDEN SHED + DUCK POND
So... I'm sure this will shock no one at this point, but the garden shed was on fire. Or rather, the inside was, probably. Everything was pretty burnt? As people figured, it looked like a person fell through the roof, and the sides of the hole were burned too. We also found bloody shears inside.
Anyway, moving onto the duck pond! For whatever reason, someone stuck a spear in the middle of the pond and attached a garden bag to it. Inside, we found Phoenix's belongings.
[and with that said, he pulls the clay symbol out.]
... Beau—I assume you'll want this back.

Kitchen + Dining Room
Someone made cookies in the kitchen, a couple of them have bites in them. Flour's on the floor, with a footprint and a half in it. Probably a girl, since the footprint looked liked a person wearing a high heel. Also we brought the cookies back. [ holds up the tray ] Oh, and someone used the step stool?
On the other side of the door that connects the kitchen to the wall, someone managed to basically put every single knife from the kitchen into the wall, blade out. The covered the knives with a white tablecloth. They even rigged some rope and spring to make some sorta trap so that when someone tried to open the door from inside the kitchen, it would spring open. There was a pool [ not a puddle ] of blood from there. [ YOU CAN IN FACT, SEE A TRAIL OF BLOOD LEADING TO WHERE SHIMA IS SPEAKING ] Not only that, but on the rope was a strand of red hair. [ HOLDING THAT UP TOO ]
By the door leading to the dining room, there was a stray knife in the wall. It was thrown separately, probably not connected to the knife wall?
But in the dining room, we found a paper die. [ ALSO HOLDS?? THAT UP?? SOMEHOW??? idk sprouts a third arm somehow ] Four was written on top, but asides from that it had my name, with Hunter, Hori, Nie Huaisang and Isaac's names on the other sides.
I think, that's it? [ LOOKS AT AKECHI AND AYABE ]

Did someone roll a dice to decide who to kill?

REGROUP
We know one of the killers, and apparently, we've found almost all the evidence there is to find. [once the last group is done!] So, maybe we should look over what we have so far.
Chuuya, can you clarify which locations were your doing? We can probably guess, but it'd help to eliminate evidence. Right now, we absolutely need to figure out who killed Phoenix.
no subject
Also I killed Four just a few minutes before curfew, so it was well before the other person turned into the monster. They took stuff out of the kitchen after that.
[Honestly he's kind of surprised they didn't notice all the blood.]

FIRST FLOOR HALL + LOUNGE
There was fire and glass in the hall. After Brilith put it out, we found Lio's flamethrower and a stun gun in a pile of clothes. [He holds the melted plastic of the stun gun, wrapped in one such article of clothing, up for everyone to see.] They're burned beyond recognition.
[He lowers his hand.]
Practically everything was broken in the lounge. Glass was all over the floor and the furniture was displaced. It was on fire, too.

THE VOTES ARE IN...
[At 9pm on the dot, nine chimes ring from the main hall. The three girls rise to their feet and pick up the box from the table as they begin to count the notecards inside. Once all of the votes are accounted for, they'll look up to address the group at large.]
Your votes have been counted, and you have selected a guilty culprit.
[Behind them, miniature spotlights highlight a profile.]
It was Lio Fotia.
[Without warning, Lio will find himself bound by invisible chains and pulled out of his seat. As he's dragged to the middle of the ballroom, an ornate bird cage falls from the ceiling to trap him inside. No matter how hard he struggles, this cage cannot be opened.]
In addition, Nicolas, you were warned.
[Nic will suddenly feel a sharp, splintering sort of pain as an invisible force grabs his right arm, forcibly pulling it away from his body. It's ripped from the socket and soon dropped to the ground. But before anyone can retrieve it, the arm begins to crawl away, scuttling across the floor as a familiar laugh echos around the room from an unseen source. The girls look briefly unamused.]
Preparations for rule seven begin now, and tomorrow his spirit shall be delivered. We thank you for your participation.
[And with that, the ballroom doors unlock. Anyone who would like to speak with Lio is free to do so, but they, too, will be unable to free the jailbird from his cage.]
