WEEK FIVE: TRIAL

[guestservices]

W̴͍̎E̴̝̊E̸͚͝K̸͕̿ FIVE: TRIAL

Rise and shine; you know how Saturdays go. Even if you'd rather sleep in, you'll find yourself waking up and getting out of bed. Once you're out of your room, a door appears down the hallway, compelling you to walk towards it. Upon entering, you'll discover a room that's familiar if you've gone exploring this week or possibly from even before then:

EMPORIUM (THE REALM)
The exterior of the building is welcoming, with windows lined with various eye-catching trinkets, ranging from stuffed animals to t-shirts. After stepping inside, the very first thing that will greet guests is a statue made out of L*gos. Yes, the black bar is somehow there.

The interior is filled with row upon row of shelves filled with different items. There is a collection of stuffed animals, ranging in size from small enough to hide in your pocket to some as big as a toddler. There's a wide range of other toys as well, like dolls, L*gos, puzzles, and more. Different display cases show off pins, lanyards, keychains, sunglasses, jewelry, and other accessories. Participants may even find one of those keychains with their name on it...?

If you consider it a typical souvenir item, it's here. Cups, shot glasses, pens, t-shirts, hats... Everything is stacked neatly, proudly displaying the silhouette of a castle. There are also now items featuring tigers, rabbits, goats, swans, wolves, and foxes. However, there is no one at the cash register, so it seems like participants can't purchase anything.

There are a few tables in here behind room dividers. One is labeled 'Evidence' while the rest are covered in white sheets. Elsewhere in the room is a table with pencils and slips of paper for voting.

✦✧☪✧✦

Welcome to your sixth trial! Over the course of the next nine hours, characters will have the opportunity to discuss, investigate and theorize about the murders. Characters will have time to examine the body of the victim and explore relevant locations.

There will be a mod-tag break between 4pm EST to 5pm EST. While the trial may continue and players can tag each other, mod-led threads such as questions and investigations will be on hold.

Finally, we have a voting page for characters to vote on the culprit! Please be sure that your vote is in by the time trial finishes 9pm EST. Voting is mandatory in this game.

Good luck!

[Yes and no, there are some that might've come from the cuts, but some that aren't necessarily where the cuts are. But for reference it's not exactly a ton of blood he's looking at here.

It's... chafe marks, aka that's the most descriptive we can get here. They look more consistent with being dragged than an ass slap.]

[unsaid]

[that works, thank you!!

so it was definitely just a really specific ass slap got it. then just for the record, where are the chafe marks located? on his legs? back?

just going to do a more thorough check on if anything stands out on his leggies, his feet, bottom of his feet, gotta be thorough with these feetblems]

[guestservices]

[Lower half of body in general but more so on his legs.

Nothing else stands out about his legs or feet!]

[unsaid]

[ok time to flip this bitch over* to check if there's anything that stands out on his back


*despite the carelessness of language used, jiji is very careful and respectful throughout the process but that's just less fun to type]

[guestservices]

[Nothing of note about his back that Mikazuki wouldn't have already seen or inferred from the front!]

[unsaid]

[i see.... well, i'm slowly running out of ideas.

mikazuki will then carefully place sylvain back so that he's lying down comfortably. time to do a check for his inventory and clothes!!

aside from the blood on the left side of the collar, is there any other blood once mikazuki does a more thorough check? are there any tears anywhere?

what does sylvain keep in his pockets.... i hope he just always has a condom on hand like a chad]

[guestservices]

[Actually I lied I'm sorry forget everything I said about the collar, the blood is around where his neck injuries would be.

But there is also blood on his left shoulder area and torso, re: clothes. No particular tears anywhere.

In his pockets, he has:

- Room key with a rubber keychain attached
- 5 tickets]

[unsaid]

[HELP that's ok i love u jan. did the blood pool on the back of the shirt collar at all like if someone was lying down or no

how many lights are on the room key?

also sylvain is so rich help me.]

[guestservices]

[It's not necessarily a lot of blood coming from the neck so hard to say one way or another.

There is one light!]

[unsaid]

[not that much blood..... from these neck cuts.... i see.

well then mikazuki will wave dimitri down to help him redress sylvain so that it doesn't icly take another hour.

though he will also pull from his sleeve a red camellia flower and tuck it behind sylvain's ear. good night, sweet slut.]

Until next we meet.
