WEEK TWO: TRIAL

[gatonina]

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.

[ well. giyuu is tired and it's much better to have someone who isn't nodding off but also unable to exactly nod off completely be the person who should helping checking out others.

...but he'll cooperate and start emptying out his pockets. nothing shocking? he'll empty his sleeves to reveal his cabin key, a ball of some sorts, a bag of chips, a folded piece of paper, and a small pouch tied up with a bow. on his side, per usual, is his sword.

that done, he'll remove his kimono where there will be nothing worthy of being noted other than the minor burns from the other week and a bite mark (it's from an animal) on one of his hands. ]

[voidbreaker]

[ what's up giyuu, he's here to look you over. first thing's first: ]

What's on the paper?

[baori]

[ oh. this is fine? ]

It's something I found in the cabin.

[ hmm. ]

I don't recommend looking at it now—if you look too long it causes your vision to blur.

[voidbreaker]

What's on it though? Could you not see it at all?

[ he's giving him the slow, circling once over. do a twirl giyuu. ] Anyone with you went you got that bite mark?

[baori]

If you want to look at it, you're welcomed to. I couldn't make anything of it nor could Purple Heart when I asked.

[ look at your own risk, ash. if he stares at it a long time, his eyes will blur then will get dizzy that will ultimately end with him fainting if he dares to look at it that long. ]

Flayn—it was during our task where we were supposed to feed the animals.

[voidbreaker]

[ he does look at it, but only for a moment before he pulls a face and looks away. ] What the fuck is that even meant to be?

[ but cursed pieces of paper aside, he's swift to move onto more important things. specifically craning his head around to look for flayn. ]

Greeny, does that check out?

[fishingforcompliments]

[well




im so sorry but she doesn't normally pay attention to giyuu and she doesn't realize ash means her when he says "greeny".]

[voidbreaker]

[ looks

heavenward. ]

Hey, FLAYN.

[fishingforcompliments]

—oh! Yes, Ash?

[baori]

If I knew I would have told you.

[ does this mean he's allowed to put the paper away now??? ]

[voidbreaker]

[ he may put away the paper, yes ]

I can see why you'd get dizzy as hell looking at that thing.

[baori]

Purple Heart wasn't affected but still couldn't tell what it is.

[ back into the sleeves the cursed paper goes. ]

I hope it can be some sort of clue for us later.

[survivaltricks]

[hello Giyuu, Akira is here to help out Yin Yu]

. . . hn?

[eyeing the pouch curiously]

What's that?

[baori]

[ that's about fair; he has nothing to hide. he'll sleepily look at the pouch and answer very plainly. ]

Chocolates. I received them as a gift from someone back on the island.

[survivaltricks]

[he holds his hand out for the pouch]

Can I see?

[baori]

[ giyuu will wordlessly hand them over to akira to inspect. if he unties the pouch he'll find innocent looking chocolates. hopefully akira won't eat any of them without asking??? ]

[survivaltricks]

[HE IS NOT HOW RUDE DO YOU THINK HE IS?? he will, however, check the pouch to see if there is anything under the chocolates in there]

[baori]

[ LOOK. I KNOW THERE'S OOC KNOWLEDGE OF THESE CHOCOLATES...... but nope. just harmless handmade chocolates wrapped up in a cute pouch. nothing nefarious. ]

[survivaltricks]

[all righty then, Akira closes the pouch and hands it back to Giyuu]

I'm surprised you haven't eaten them yet.

[reaches out to]

[fluff Giyuu's hair. mostly to check for anything weird about it]

[baori]

They were a gift and I'm not a fan of sweets.

[ he says while putting them away, and akira will find nothing amidst about his hair...though he will give akira a weird look for that? because???????

what does it mean when someone younger than you fluffs your hair?? ]

[concasse]

-- You still haven't eaten them yet?

[Calling from the peanut gallery because he remembers Last Time there was a strip check]

[baori]

I'm not a fan of sweets.

[ hmm. how else should he put this? ]

...and it was a gift from someone who died on the island. I want to cherish them.

[concasse]

-- Ah. Gotcha.

[Sanji is trying to run logistics on, y'know, how long chocolate can last before it's inedible but he'll conceded that's not where his thoughts should be focused today]

[baori]

[ he'll nod but not put them away?? since akira might be looking at them. but sanji is valid? how long can handmade chocolates last.... ]

They've been through a lot.

[concasse]

The chocolates, or the person who died?
