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!

STRIP CHECK

[evocationary]

[standing on a counter, yelling:]

I am at the end of my rope! Everybody take off your clothes now or I'm going to turn into a horrifying eldritch creature and shake you upside down!

[assume there is a screen! etc etc.]

RESULTS

[evocationary]

[battling]

[-Claw mark at his back. It's been healed over.
-A minor fracture of his rib.
-Nose a little tender.]

[preowned]

[ tsuru will strip for whoever, he does not care.

- slash across his face that is a few weeks old
- impalement wound that goes over his heart, also a little old
- slash mark over his chest that is the same amount of old as the above two

nothing else! ]

[ashenvaliant]

[ what's up buttercup. his fit is comfy, but he will take it off to reveal injuries. so many injuries. wow i have to type stuff now.

- he has a faded bite mark on his leg, like something made an attempt to tear his leg off. it looks more healed than last trial.
- his back is still burned, but doing better.
- there are gouge marks over his heart -- healed around the same amount as the bite mark.
- a healing bruise on his left hip, it's going gently yellow now.
- general scrapes and bruises across his body, all looking like they're healing.
- there's an arrow wound in his left thigh
- the palm of his right hand looks like it was gashed to hell and back but is also in the process of looking more healed than before.

yaaay? ]

[headmt]

[ molly's in his regular old clothes - his embroided coat, his circus pattern pants, and quote aquila: his dumb little v neck

- he's covered in the same old scars across his chest, neck, arms and back as always, none of these look reopened or new
- still tattooed, but nothing looks fresh or new
- he's got some older-looking bruising across his back, which is pretty hard to see by now
- still just the one eye because the other one is sealed shut
- one horn is still broken off at the end ]

[unsaid]

[mikazuki allowed so few people to check him in the first place and now it's even fewer help. anyway he waits for tsuru to help him strip, and he'll most easily allow shinobu and kdj to also check him but depending on who approaches he can be easily talked into it!!

anyway copypaste bc i always forget his injuries:
- his face injury has healed over into a scar
- his hands are also neatly healed over, only calloused as expected of a swordsman
- his stab wounds on his abdomen and shoulder are scarring over and healing well
- his burn wounds are similarly scarred over and healing well
- and his leg is healed as well

das it]

[unbested]

[ he has:

- a bunch of little scratches and minor cuts on his face, mostly on one side — these are the same ones she would have seen on him when talking to him after cyoa
- some light claw scratches on his back
- some bruising on his side, same side as the scratches
- healed over round laser burn scar on his shoulder
- same old burn scars on his hands as always ]

[classmate]

[ Only ladies are allowed to take a peek. Fit check.

- A healed over gun wound on her left shoulder, fading.
- A healed over graze against her cheek, fading.
- A healed over scar along her stomach. ]

[outsidebones]

[strip time!

harrow is wearing a black button down, trousers, boots, her corset and jewelry. she'll strip down to a modest tank top and underwear shorts for anyone who wants to check her. her right leg still has a swollen bruised ankle and she still has heavy bruises on her side and hip, but they are about a week old and going down. her left arm is mostly healed but still has some bruised areas on the forearm, also about a week old. she has some healing scratch marks on her forearms, and some healing burns on her chest and face, but a week old.

also her hands are jacked up.]

[supremity]

[ fit check, and he sets his clothes aside if anyone wants to check them. tanhua is nearby, hovering less this week than he did last week. he doesn't growl unless anyone he doesn't have a bond with approaches him, though.

he is fit and his hair is insanely long, with a single, thin braid on the right side. but he'll move it when it comes to inspecting his back. anyone can check him behind the screen.

of note:

- very old, faint scars scattered everywhere across his body
- the tattoo on his left arm
- two, huge scars that are much much newer on his back, one to each shoulder blade
- healed cut on cheek
- faded strangulation bruises around his neck
- makeshift bandages around left hand
- mild burns on his hands
- healing bruised and slightly split knuckles
- bruises and cuts/scuffs on arms, scattered
- fading general bruises on leg/hip and back

like past weeks, he does not take the eyepatch off. ]

[wisterin]

[ anyone is allowed to look, as long as it's behind a divider. fit check but add her haori.

-healed but still healing talon scratches on right arm
-healed but still healing talon gouges on her abdomen
-healed but still healing slash on back
-healed over lance wound on her left shoulder, still healing
-fractured left arm with a healed over spear wound
-mostly healed cut on her right arm
-healed and still healing burn scars on leg

all of them look over a week old. ]

[technocool]

[ futaba will stick a leggy out from her pile. come to her!!!! (no she'll crawl over with a whine)

- her cyoa cuts and bruises are all healed and scabbed over. it's still tender and achy but that's fine.
- there are fresher bruises on top of those from both doorventures and mini event mishaps.
- god i hope that's it ]

Brad and Hua Cheng can vouch for this weeks damage.

[aono]

[He has all the injuries from last week, but with a week's more of healing on them. Listing them all here again:

- a set of large claw marks across his chest, going from his left shoulder diagonally down
- five deep puncture wounds: left shoulder, left arm, left arm again, left side, right arm
- his right leg has deep gouge marks in it
- his right arm looks less swollen, but he still is being careful with it (it's fractured)]

[mustbepurged]

[Estelle will cooperate without much hesitation this week, but she will have Lup help her get in and out of her clothes. Fortunately, she's wearing something easy to change in and out of today. Removing her clothes reveals:

- almost all of her fingers are badly bruised
- nails cute despite it all
- heavy bruising around her ribs; signs of fractured ribs
- some makeshift bandages cover her back

As always, she'll linger nearby for anyone to examine her hands/head/feet if they so wish.]

[overruns]

[ please release me from this nipple free existence. anyway, he has:

-large set of slash marks across his chest and some burns. these all look like they've been naturally healing for several weeks and are mostly scarred over
-a bruise around his chest, which is looking kinda gross and yellow but old
-a cut somewhere on his back ]

[shinetrue]

I might require some assistance, both during and after, if possible.

[ fit check!! he's also still wearing the same necklace and ring he did last week. sporting a cool new eyepatch and some sick bandages! he's slow moving, but here's what you'll see:

- missing right eye (healing)
- frostbite on right side of face/chest (healing)
- bruising on left wrist
- various cuts (healing)
- stab wounds on back (healing)
- scar up back (old)
- scar across torso (old)
- various other marks/scars (old)

i think that's everything...help. ]

[afterword]

[ he'll strip down for anyone to view, comfy fit check. Jin, his white nine-tailed fox daemon, will quietly growl at those she isn't too familiar with that approach.

- has scars on his hands and the rest of his body, seem incredibly old
- burn scarring/tanning on parts of his body, also seeming old
- weeks old high 1st degree burns covering most of his body, healing.
- weeks old low 2nd degree burns on his arms and legs, healing.
- faint scratches on his right shoulder, more than a couple of days old.

das it! ]

[malewife]

[ weh

what we have:
- old scars! older than the weeks here. this will count older wounds from before hotel. (canine bites, slashes, etc.)
- a couple of claw gouge scars on his shoulder, torso, and a leg.
- lighter scars, seems to be droplet splattered
- a cut palm, but it has closed up and started healing ]

[toesies]

[Fit check! As usual, she will allow any of the ladies and the adult men to check her. Sheila will strip down to her undies and socks, folding her clothes to the side because if there's one thing worse than murder, it's wrinkled clothes. (No.) All of her execution injuries have vanished without a trace, and only the healing bite mark on her arm remains.]

[unrecked]

[He is in the red v-neck shirt and the red hoodie like other times. Jeans and combat boots. Very simple. Once the clothes are carefully peeled off:

- an old bite shaped like a crescent collection of puncture wounds on the front and back of his right side
- faded, old claw marks on back left shoulder
- a back that isn't quite so crispy anymore
- a healed left arm bite
- healed claw marks across the chest
- a healed busted up right hand; it looks like teeth marks
- a place on his chest that looks like a healed sliced hole injury ]

[evocationary]

[she's wearing a dress and a black leather jacket that is like two sizes too big for her, and she takes all this off.

- a squall leonhart scar across her face that is long healed over
- a long healed over scar on the back of her shoulder
- a long healed over scar wound on her side
- the usual weird port scar on the back of her neck
- her tattoo
- a couple of fading bruises on her collarbone trailing down
- a fading bite mark on her hip]

[skyagain]

[ i did not injure him on the invest so fine i GUESS i'll write this. for fit check cloud was wearing a very large dark hoodie and loose pants that covered up most of the wounds. he was very cozy.

for the record all of these are healed enough to not bleed, but still a bit in the danger zone of opening up if he overdoes it. this is why the mountain is funny. absolutely none of them were bandaged up because i forgot to buy a first aid kit.

- the obvious one is the bite on his neck like something tried and almost succeeded in ripping out his jugular.
- on his left shoulder, a wound that looks like it pierced through and a long slash both
- his left arm has blunt scratch marks and multiple bite marks
- on his waist, on the left (yes, still) what looks to be claw marks
- his left ankle has a bite mark that does look different than the other ones. wow. incredible.
- some very recent but light bruising on his right side! mostly the arm and shoulder
- everything else is old i refuse to remember the old scars they're all still there

there's nothing else visible. ]

COMPLAINING

[evocationary]

[unsaid]

[this week as with every week he is waiting for help as it has been proven he can't even dress himself in one layer well]
