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!

He was charming enough. Kind of like a big red puppy.

[ashenvaliant]

Oh, I'm not arguing that. He was very charming.

[evocationary]

Charming, but you know how dogs like to shove their noses into someone's privates to greet them? Kind of like that.

[ashenvaliant]

[ lup, a man is dead. ]

... [ pff. ] A mix of both. He was not subtle sometimes, but other times very much so. Regardless of what we think of his libido, he was a good man. I'm able to say that with more confidence than I could at the start of this.

[evocationary]

[she can say this because it is coping]

I know, Yuri. I liked him too.

[ashenvaliant]

[ lup 🤝 yuri
takin' a huff of that copium this fine saturday ]

I know. Here's hoping we can put our heads together in time to figure something, anything out.

[overruns]

[ aww. yuri... ]

...Sylvain has always been a capable and sharp-witted man with a tender heart, no matter how much he would like others to believe otherwise. I am glad you had a chance to see that.

[ashenvaliant]

Considering he didn't know who I was and came out swinging the suspicion bat at me, I'm not mad at the progress.

[overruns]

...Is that a compliment?

[ why do we have three of the shadiest femblems here actually ]

[ashenvaliant]

[ because nu should suffer as a treat ]

It was more a fact. He was very untrusting of me at first.

[unbested]

[ just looks kind of sad and nods... he always felt like he could trust him, even if they weren't the closest.
