WEEK TWO: TRIAL

POPULATION: 36 Rise and shine, Camp Gatonina. With yesterday's announcement weighting on your mind, you are left to your own devices for the entirety of the morning. The 7:00 AM bugle call will announce breakfast as usual, and those who still manage to retain an appetite under the current circumstances are free to make their way over to the mess hall in order to grab a bite. It is not until 12:00 PM that something changes. Coming as a surprise to none, given your past experiences, your body will move of its own accord towards the Mess Hall. You are powerless to resist. The Mess Hall doors will lock once everyone is inside, and for some reason — your vision will momentarily blur before everything snaps back into focus. Winter Wizard, Purple Heart and Black Shadows will be seated at a table by the enclosed bulletin board. Their bunnies will be beside them, dressed impeccably. They share a look, visibly uncomfortable, before they rise from their seats. "So it seems one of your own has been killed. Now's the time to work together and find the responsible party." "Nine hours remain to discuss and locate. Still have time." "We'll help you as much as we can from our end, too, so... Good luck." Well, you know the drill by now. - - - Hello, everyone, and welcome to the third 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 NPCs 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.

Maybe the smoke bomb really was an item provided by the directors?

[coastal]

It's a weapon though, isn't it? They told me I'd have to exchange vouchers to even get a training sword.

[survivaltricks]

It's not. Not exactly. That said--

Back in the mansion those with "special privileges" were allowed to ask for items from our hosts. They were items that the rest of us couldn't get.

I know one of them managed to get a tranquilizer gun, and one of them requested some luminol.

What if it's the same way here?

[coastal]

[ . . . . ]

So you think that those special privileges are tied to what happens on Thursdays after all?

It's not - it doesn't sound impossible.

[survivaltricks]

They could be, but they also might not be. I don't know.

I'm just saying, that could be a way for someone to get an item that the rest of us can't.

[coastal]

[given what sanji said.....]

... it sounds underhanded, but there's the possibility, I suppose.

[concasse]

... There was something similar at the castle, too.

[coastal]

... got it. I was told that we ought to be looking at the larger picture. Maybe we need to have a better understanding of the way things worked in all of our settings to determine how this place operates.

[concasse]

[They've got ten minutes left and Sanji is just streeeeeeeeeessed so he nods along with that]

[coastal]

[yeah they're running out of time

and lili is just going to look all the more upsetti spaghetti about it]

[ruffboi]

Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised. I just asked Black Shadows for a smoke bomb and they said no.

[slobjection]

Not quite the same situation here.

[survivaltricks]

. . . [slow blinks??]

What do you mean?

[slobjection]

A few specific people had special privileges over there, working for the big boss. Here, it's a competition and we're supposedly all on equal footing.

[survivaltricks]

[ah]

So you think it's less likely for the directors to give those with special privileges a little help.

[slobjection]

Yes.

Though, how are you defining special privileges?

[survivaltricks]

You know. . . special privileges?

[??? THAT HELPS???]

Some people called them roles?

[chaoticlootral]

So far, no one's heard of any roles though? At least from what I know.

[survivaltricks]

I haven't heard of any, either.

They might not exist at all. But if they did, I was trying to offer up another explanation for where the smoke bomb came from.

[slobjection]

In a way, we all have roles.

[unfriendliest]

If you know something, then say it. Or are there consequences to it...?

[slobjection]

The situation at the mansion was different. Only a few people had special privileges, because they had a job to do. Here, it's a competition where we're all supposedly on equal footing.

[ruffboi]

Black Shadows wouldn't confirm any of the items weren't provided by them.

[survivaltricks]

[overhear this Magnus HE'D SAY IT BACK TO HIM ANYWAY]
