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.

I can help you, Lili.

[flayn is here to help!! she'll examine lili's injuries - assuming that she'll be able to firmly say "nope, this all looks the same!" since, you know, she was kind-of there when the shark bite thing happened.]

Your recovery seems to be proceeding well...

[coastal]

[yep! looks the same!]

I'd like it to hurry... I'm getting so tired of just sitting around. I want to hit people too!

[she'll hold her hands out since she's assuming that flayn is going to check that next. it's about the usual camp grime but like Slightly Less So because lili is an ojou with immaculate beauty tendencies]

[fishingforcompliments]

I know the feeling. —well, perhaps not the hitting people part, as much.

[ah well... since lili checked her hands, flayn will do the same, looking them over carefully and checking under the fingernails to be thorough! it's fine.

a pause, and then -]

Ah... should I also check your feet and hair?

[she's Learning]

[coastal]

[she nods]

I think that's what we've been doing. Shinobu told me that it's possible for someone to hide something in their hair.

[and lili has a lot of it!! she's clear for both when flayn checks though - there's nothing off about her feetsies and nothing hiding in her ojou hair]

[fishingforcompliments]

[she nods, and runs her fingers through lili's hair, checking her head for bumps - once that comes up clean, she'll kneel down to check her feet. whew! she's glad that turned out okay.

she comes up with a smile, brushing her hands off on her dress.]

As expected, there is nothing out of the ordinary. Thank you, Lili.

[coastal]

[flayn is sweet, but even as lili moves to redress - ]

Don't forget to check my bag.

[and she'll offer the fanny pack out to flayn!! now i have to worry about lili's inventory, hold on. she's got

- bandages
- a knife wrapped in fabric
- black fabric gloves
- a coil of rope
- the poncho
- the syringe that flayn would recognize

and also she had a different outfit and a new necklace this week but that's been the case since monday]

[fishingforcompliments]

Oh, yes, of course...

[this all mostly checks out... just for the sake of being thorough (so lili will be proud of her!!) she unwraps the fabric from the knife to check the blade, closely examines the gloves for any subtle stains on the black fabric, uncoils the rope to check on the length, and shakes out the poncho to look for anything out of the ordinary!!]

[coastal]

[flayn is adorable!

lili will allow this to happen. she's cleaned off her knife of any shark blood because that was a fucking week ago, could you imagine. the black fabric doesn't have any stains, the rope is the same length as it was a week ago, and the poncho seems like it wasn't folded neatly because lili is an ojou but

otherwise everything's clear!]

[fishingforcompliments]

[so far so good! flayn will carefully rewrap the fabric around the knife, tuck the gloves back into the fanny pack, re-coil the rope, and neatly fold lili's poncho for her because she actually does know how to do chores.]

There. As expected.

[coastal]

[flayn is

so much more useful than lili. but lili just pouts a little at that]

... well, in this case yes, but you don't need to always be so eager to defend me, Flayn.

[fishingforcompliments]

Perhaps not, but I see no reason to pretend I did not expect you to come up clear.

[shixiong]

[ assuming this is around the time kara got checked, yin yu knocks on the edge of the privacy screen, and asks, quietly enough to just be heard hopefully by the two of them: ]

Lady Flayn, does Lady Lili have any jewelry or anything on her person? If you wouldn't mind.

[fishingforcompliments]

[...knocks gently on the edge of the privacy screen and then peeks out. it's okay, it's just her head!! hi yin yu.]

Yes! She is wearing a necklace - I saw it on her earlier this week.

[coastal]

[she's just going to finish redressing and to make everything easier, she'll wander out and gather the pendant of the necklace in her palm]

It's Oo— [ . . . hm, she flusters a little.] Kara's.

If you're wondering where it went, it's with me.

[fishingforcompliments]

[GASPS WITH DELIGHT

IS THIS THE FIRST OF AT LEAST FIVE PIECES OF JEWELRY LILI REQUIRES FOR BETROTHAL she won't ask because they're in the middle of trial but girl talk time later, lili]

[coastal]

[she's not sure why flayn is gasping?

? ?? ? ??? ?? ]

[fishingforcompliments]

[girl! talk! later!


anyway, since they're Focusing for now:]

Is Ookurikara's injury a result of your... "left hook"?

[coastal]

[SHE ANSWERS YIN YU HERSELF - though at the question, her expression seems to get just a little bit more clouded.

before she closes her eyes and nods]

Mm.

It's just a matter between us.

[fishingforcompliments]

I see.

[she'll leave it be, then!]

[shixiong]

[ he's absolutely not looking, mask on, face straight ahead to the opposite wall. ]

Thank you, my lady. If you could ask her if she knows anything about Ookurikara's injury that's from what I believe may be her left hook, I'd appreciate it as well. [ that's really all the confirmation he needed about that!!! off to go check more dudes. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

Ah - yes, I will!

[once she's done being excited about kara giving lili a gift and lili using a nickname for him.]

[coastal]

[once she's redressed, she's just going to wander back out. though at the mention of the bruise, her expression gets just a little bit more stormy]

... yes, that was from me. He knows why and there's— [nothing wrong between them?]

... It's not related to anything except a personal matter.
