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!

Yeah, Claude was datin' Miss Ghost. Manwol.

They met at the school.

[unsaid]

[a glance to tsuru]

... Cheating...?

[battling]

[....]

[preowned]

[ he pats his shoulder. ]

He did not cheat. He just told me a story about something once, so I know his heart is good but love is... complicated.

[ the polyamory consideration ]

[battling]

... Yeah. It always is.

[There's the sense that Bradley is talking about something unrelated to polyamory.]

[preowned]

[ another pat. ]

Mm. Well, let's figure things out here.

[evocationary]

I think he's pretty faithful to her. I tried hitting on him and he politely told me he has a girlfriend.

[battling]

He'd better be. Manwol deserves the best.

[toesies]

[also looks at tsuru]

Oh, no.

[unsaid]

Should I also be heartbroken....

[sheila seems like a good person to ask for this]

[toesies]

Depends. Some people are into it, some people are not. Do you feel like you should be heartbroken?

[unsaid]

Into.... cheating?

[once again jiji doesn't understand humans]

For the one I love to be wed to another.... I believe I read on this in a novel.

[preowned]

[unsaid]

[blows a kiss, heartbrokenly]

[toesies]

People are into weird shit. You would not believe it.

But personally? Feel heartbroken, and then get mad. Time heals all wounds, but not that bitch's windows.

[unsaid]

I do have trouble believing it. [like. so much trouble.] But I learn more about humanity [and their kinks] each day.

Hmmmm. I see, I see. I shall become furious, then.

[HAS JIJI EVER GOTTEN MAD?]

[malewife]

[ he's just like what the fuck is going on in this conversation ]

[preowned]

[ apparently tsuru's window is going to be bricked ]

[ashenvaliant]

[ does he deserve it? ]

[toesies]

[She pats his arm.]

Hell hath no fury like sword scorned.
