—THE SECOND TRIAL—

Once again, at 9 AM sharp, a familiar bell tolls to alert the hour. You've become familiar with the flow of things, haven't you? You know what tod o — find your answers before the final ring chimes. Even if you try to avoid it, eventually your legs will bring you towards where you know you'll have to be. The courtroom doors swing open, welcoming.

Come by again, and it looks just like last week. Take your seat on any one you wish, and peruse the table lined with (non-alcoholic) refreshments and snacks. The same sign, promising a lunch break. And of course, your observers, sitting by the jury's seat shuffling about a stack of papers. Ask your questions and they will answer.

The judge's seat shows the same message as it has always done: "GRANT WE THINE JUDGMENT — ABSOLVE THEE THINE GUILT," and the same, strange, incorporeal form stays seated at the high seat, hand resting unto a gavel's handle.

"Today we will be investigating the cases of: Akeha, Valvatorez, and Vicious. Court is now in session."

The same blue, translucent field prevents you from leaving freely once you're in. You know the drill, don't you?

TRIAL RUNDOWN

  • Trial for these three cases (Akeha, Valvatorez, Vicious) will last 9 hours. Characters will have time to examine the bodies of the victim and explore relevant locations.
  • Mod break will be at ⏰【1:00 PM PST】.
  • Characters must vote for whom they believe to be the guilty party by ⏰【6:00 PM PST】. Voting is mandatory. With the last part of trial live, we will be accepting the submitted FINAL ANSWERS as everyone's collective vote!
  • The judge is flavor text. Do not try to talk to them.

Strangely monochrome. Are all offices decorated in only whites and grays?

Monochrome? I think some people describe offices as devoid of life.

There didn't seem to be much there, besides a way to watch the living.

Oh. I'm sorry there wasn't more for you to do.

It was only for a few days.

I will apologize for the "river of sardines".

That was you? What did you do for that to happen?

We pressed some buttons on a machine.

... That was it? That seems a bit powerful.

Yes. It seemed to be the source of the glitches you were experiencing on this side today.

The machine was only accessible since this morning.

You immediately took advantage.

Yes, of course. Why wouldn't we?
