—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.

  • 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.

No, you misunderstand, it was...

[He kind of looks uncomfortable.]

It wasn't real. Like. A simulation on the other side, is that the word? And if you're talking about here, he just attacked me out of the blue. I tried to fight back. And I got impaled. Good for me.

Oh.

Well, we're all simulations here too, so it's not that much different, I guess.

[ he's. very confused right now. if people did a ton of murders, but they were all fake simulations, how should that affect his moral dilemmas? ]

...It is weird to think about, honestly. Kind of gives you a headache, right?
alyricalassassination: (With the big fake smiles and stupid lies)

[ brows furrowed, he just stares at some point over Luchino's shoulder for a while before... ]







...I need to go write a song about this.

It's too bad you had to go through that. Glad you later got to stab him a few times in some way.

[She briefly gives a thumbs up, hell yeah]

Yeah, it was...kind of...not a great experience, actually. Overall.

[trying to shove the trauma under the carpet its fine]

[Maya smiles faintly]

That probably means you're a well adjusted person. It might be better you didn't enjoy it that much.

[Hey, whatever floats your boat, Luchino]

....Yes. It might be better.

[A sigh.]
