TRIAL | WEEK SIX
SIXTH TRIAL
The participants' sleep the night before is blessedly free of god-sent dreams, and when they wake and the morning dawns bright and early, they find themselves drawn to the courtyard.
The courtyard looks mostly the same as it did the day before - filled with statues of each of the participants, with frosted glass-topped coffins at the center. However, now that the trial has begun, the coffins of our victims are open, their bodies is available for examination.
Once everyone has gathered, Sincerity heaves a sigh and glances from the gathered group, to the coffins, and back to the group. "Right, well... I was hoping we wouldn't be gathered here for this this weekend, but here we are. If you've got any questions, ask me. The only way out of this is through it, so we'd better get to work."
He says it with all the weariness of someone who's had to say the same thing several times already, and then looks to Beauty.
Beauty, meanwhile, stands at Sincerity's side with his hands primly folded behind his back. Likewise, when he speaks he's a little weary himself.
"Sincerity-senpai will handle all of your questions throughout the day, whereas I'll be your guide for locations you wish to visit." There's a pause. "Best of luck to all of you."
"...oh, right!" Sincerity realizes something suddenly - he claps his hands to get everyone's attention. "I hope you all dressed up, 'cause uh, if you didn't... well, you'll find out... now."
Anyone who did not dress their best for trial will find themselves decked out in the fanciest, most impractical clothing they can imagine.
Behind them, above the doorway to the altar room, marble busts appear depicting the masked faces of the five suspected gods, names etched upon their stands: Justice, Ambition, Indulgence, Merriment, and Love. The culprit is among their ranks, but which team will bear the burden?
Good luck, everyone. You have nine hours to cast your vote... and your time starts now.

OOC NOTES
Hello, everyone, and welcome to our sixth trial!
Each trial is surrounded by different circumstances, so don't expect this one to play out the same way as the last, but read on for a general reminder on what to keep in mind while playing with the game's specific trial mechanics:
Participants will have the chance to investigate a preserved version of the temple as it was on murder night by providing the name of the location they wish to investigate to the appropriate host. Only one location may be investigated at a time, and no more than three characters should take part in the investigation. Clues from the death announcement dream and the characters' bodies themselves will provide hints for which places you may want to investigate, so these will serve as good ic talking points. The accompanying host is able to manipulate the environment upon request to allow you to test theories. We suggest that you visit locations to confirm or deny theories that have come up in discussion at the trial, or to search for clues if you get stuck. The others can and should continue to brainstorm while the investigation crew is away. Characters may revisit previously searched locations.
The purpose of these trials is determining which god is considered responsible for the actions of their follower, and in turn, which god will therefore lose a follower. Ultimately, your task here is to sway the group at large into voting the way best plays to your strategy and not just for solving a crime. Remember that no matter what conclusion you come to, there's never any guarantee that any actual culprit will be up for execution. We highly encourage that you start early thinking about which god may have had the most to gain from the crime, so you aren't finding yourself voting blind at the last moment. When you're ready, please place your character's vote over on the voting page. Voting will close at 6PM PST/9PM EST, and will serve as our activity check for the week, so please be sure you get your vote in before it ends unless you have contacted us previously.
If you have any questions at any time, please let do us know by pinging us on Discord or on plurk! Britt (![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)

anyway. let's start with a cursory examination. anything immediately wrong to notice during a full look over her, from head to toe? ]
no subject
Her face is burned off.]
1/2
[ that. that honest to god gets him for a second and he has to pause, trying very hard not to freak out on the spot. ]
no subject
let's take a look at that horribly burned face. can we tell if the burns are chemical? thermal? electrical?? what can he tell by looking more closely. ]

Yu will. Pause briefly, to offer her body a shallow bow and murmur an apology. But with that done it's time to mess! with! her! clothes! Let's lift her shirt, around the cuffs and neckline. Will the burns on her skin extend past those, or did her clothing save her from getting burned worse? ]
no subject
no subject
What about her body, speaking of? Torso, hips, legs, feets??, all the front for now. Anything else interesting here? ]
no subject
Also, is he completely taking off her clothes or how're we talking here.]
no subject
Also he'll look for her coin, too. ]
no subject
There are more, similarly older wounds on her legs, as well.
He does find her coin! It's completely untarnished. She's also wearing a gaudy gold bracelet.]
no subject
Anyway, let's turn the body over and restart the inspection from the top. He'll check under her clothes on this side, too. THERE'S NO TIME FOR MODESTY ANY LONGER, PEOPLE.
that said he still wants to die. ]
no subject
Oh also because I forgot to mention it earlier (I'm sorry I'm tired) the same burns on her face and fingers are also present on her feet!]
no subject
Alright then! One more once over from head to toe. We've got: burns on her fingers, feet, and face, weird burns on her left arm and right side, and old wounds on her legs, right?
Can we check her head one last time? There's no chance All Of That Hair is hiding any secrets, is there? Which is to say: any other injuries to the head/skull? ]

Yeah he's going to make himself ill if he looks at this too closely for too much longer. He'll finally step back, wondering if he should make like Ludger and ask for hand sanitizer to get all this corpse crispiness off of him.
Before we go: anything in her pockets or on her person, item-wise, besides the coin? ]
