WEEK TWO: TRIAL

[gatonina]

TRIAL

▽ FULL NAVIGATION ▽ LOCATIONS ▽ STATUSES ▽ IC PROFILES ▽ IC RULEBOOK ▽ MURDER PROPOSALS ▽ PCS ▽ CURFEW ▽ AUDIENCES ▽ CAMP STORE ▽ REPORTING

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.

I was in the Isolation Cabin, with Wei-xiong and Beau, and-- I'm sorry for everything I said yesterday, really, I am!!

[concasse]

You're still dead.

[unanswering]

What-- I didn't even speak to you!

[concasse]

[Stares at him]

-- Oh, wrong one. My apologies.

[fishingforcompliments]

Sanji! No.

[no!!]

[concasse]

Yeah yeah, I got the wrong one.

[God I hate how much he does not care]

[disreguarded]

[ STARES DIRECTLY AT HIM ]

[concasse]

[???]

[disreguarded]

[ beau is here in all her messed up glory looking miserable. ]

I'm also sorry. I couldn't control what I was saying.

[unanswering]

[he reaches over and squeezes beau's hand. HE FEELS THAT.

by way of explanation:]

We all were compelled to insult others.

[fishingforcompliments]

[reaches for beau's



other hand, i guess.]

That was not your fault. There is nothing to apologize for.

[vigilantics]

[

pats her on her good shoulder ]

[slobjection]

I'm truly heartbroken by all the things you've said...

[ it's ok he's teasing ]

[menially]

[He's over here getting yelled at about rocks

but he'll shake his head at her, at least

It's fine, man.]

[okitactless]

Oh, were you talking like Fukuchou too?

[The Hijikata Effect]

[unanswering]

Like- who?

[what's a fukuchou.]

[fishingforcompliments]

That was not your fault. I would hope no one would blame you for it...

[but then there's sanji]

[unanswering]

Yes, well, I hoped the same and we see where that's already gone...

[givethemhell]

[YEEHAW he also looks very tired and sorry, especially toward anyone he fckin scared away yesterday.]

Mm, I hope you'll accept my apologies, too. That said - another time, maybe - I think we should create a composite list of locations, effects and their intensity. It seems like we don't have to worry about the rule of three nights that happened in Hal's town, at least?

[slobjection]

I don't think I can ever forgive you for what happened....

[ very seriously. ]

Might be worth looking into, one of these days. But it seems to change every week.

[chaoticlootral]

No, we don't have to worry about rule of threes, but I totally just asked instead of testing it and then committing crimes with my mouth that I can never take back.

[okitactless]

It's fine, Fukuchou talked like that all the time.

[It's Hijikata bullying hours apparently]

[recrypt]

They don't necessarily repeat, but who can say.

[shortfornow]

I refuse. You kept making me laugh and opening my wound. I'm surprised I made it through the night without bleeding all over.

[shortforever]

A list might not help. If Guy's legit, he got a different effect than those of us who slept by the lake last week got.
