suitedreams | WEEK SIX: TRIAL

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!

How many tickets was that cane, Shinobu?

Two.

You didn't receive three tickets this week?

[ she tilts her head to the side. ]

I wonder....

[she frowns!]

If you didn't receive one on Friday, then simply say so.

[ shinobu smiles. it's her first smile all trial. ]

[harrow looks like she's going to say something, but then holds her tongue.

she is just going to glance at the sword grandpas for help here.]

[ he glances at harrow then at shinobu. ]

Did you not receive a ticket?

[ sorry, all she does is smile at him, too. ]

Why does being ignored feel so bad...

[ softly, because she loves him: ]

I'm not ignoring you. You can make the inference.

Either I did not receive one, or there is a purchase I do not wish to speak of.

[ oh boy. ]

Right.

Well, based on my best guess, we've got two shadows around. If you were possessed by a shadow, I doubt you'd be able to act like this at all. I wasn't able to even imply I'd done anything.
