WEEK SIX: TRIAL

[guestservices]

W̴͍̎E̴̝̊E̸͚͝K̸͕̿ SIX: 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:

MAIN MEETING HALL (VILLAGE)
Should anyone venture inside, they'll find a number of long benches set up against the walls. At the head of the building are two chairs, a sun and a moon carved into the back of each. The area in the center is wide open, allowing plenty of space to move around and while decor is lacking, hanging from the walls are several blank scrolls. There's also a large (blank) scroll above the two chairs in the back.

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 seventh 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!

Problems? I am rather fond.

[he's fond of everyone]

[headmt]

I didn't say you couldn't be fond of someone with a weird personality!

Actually I'd say it's sort of a requirement to be in one of these things.

[unsaid]

Oh, I suppose so... I do not have a very firm grasp on what is considered 'normal' for others....

Perhaps Rupert... or Kazunari Miyoshi...

[like

a nice friendly twink

he starts waving at nothing in particular]

[outsidebones]

[oh. nods aggressively.]

Rupert is normal.

[unrecked]

Rupert is a bully.

[He does not sound venomous at all.]

[outsidebones]

Maybe it is normal to bully you...

[unsaid]

Rupert bullied you, Jason Todd....? Oh my, oh my.

[unsaid]

Ha ha ha, oh good. [his assessment was right]

It's so refreshing...

[battling]

Rupert is so normal.

[unsaid]

[fondly]

And we do love him for it.

[battling]

[Don't put words in his mouth, but also yes.]

[preowned]

[ dabs in kazu's honor ]

[unsaid]

[claps]

[headmt]

No, definitely not normal.

I think the most normal person here is Claude.

[unsaid]

Oh my, a dissenting opinion.

[headmt]

Trust me, I'm an expert on weirdness, as one of a top tier of Weird. Kazunari has a chronic condition where he can't stop nicknaming people, truly a big sign of a classic weirdo. Rupert's ability to act exceedingly normal in very unnormal circumstances is actually also very weird.

Claude could recognize when things were weird, and often has appropriate emotional reactions. Therefore, not so weird.

[preowned]

Claude? Hm...

Rupert was very good at talking about feelings compared to everyone else here.

[headmt]

Talking about your feelings too much is weird.

[wisterin]

[ she looks at him pointedly. ]

[evocationary]

Are... are you sure?

[headmt]

I'm sticking with this answer.

[outsidebones]

No, Claude is very weird.

[headmt]

I think you're too weird to have an accurate judgment on what's not weird.

[skyagain]

[ this discussion... ]

Wouldn't it be Sheila?

[ moms are normal? ]

[headmt]

Not on your life.
