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.

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.

You don't say.

[ the directors? not saying shit? shock. ]

Mind if I give your hands a closer look? And your head.

[ there is no shock on his face either. well, mainly because he's exhausted, but he'll hold out his arms for inspection. ash can see healing burns on his hands up to his forearms. nothing fresh! ]

The burns are a result from putting out a fire on my haori after my break-in last week. Kocho and Dimitri can verify that if you wish.

[ was it last week?? god what is time.... and he'll allow ash to mess with his head. mind that his hair is being held up/back with the scrunchie! ]

Here.

[ yeets the scrunchie into the distance to give naru the freedom she deserv---no. he'll loosen it enough to look and feel through it for any lumps or bumps or secret hidden blades i don't know what he hides in his hair. secrets, probably. ]

... [ LOOKING OVER AT DIMITRI AND SHINOBU ] Can you confirm?

[ FREE ME COWARD.

he has a lot of hair, so i guess that's fair. ash will find nothing but...hair and scalpe. giyuu is a free man who keeps himself well groomed???? though does he brush his hair? i have no fuckin clue. ]

[ i hope he gets his hand tangled in a terrible knot and they have to untangle it bit by bit. anyway wonderful. ]

... Sure. I think that's everything, unless you're really into being thorough and showing off your feet too.

[ i can believe it, but, uh.... he'll look down at his feet and shrug. ]

If it will save time for later, I don't mind.

[ sigh ]

Sure, let's get this over with.

Alright.

[ cue giyuu presenting his feeties once he takes off his tabi socks and shoes??? zori??? idk... something like that. but they have nothing out of the ordinary on them. the normal grim that someone would get from walking around camp and his feet are clean! ]

[ thanks for the feets. what about his clothes in general? no strange bullet marks or anything? ]

[ nope! nothing about his clothing that would stand out? well, there's charring at the ends of his haori which can be supported by his burns on his arms.

...and it will smell like animals. don't worry he will be washing them after trial. ]
