WEEK TWO: TRIAL
Morning dawns bright and early the day after the announcement of the dead, and as the sun tracks its way across the sky, the voice's message is likely not far from anyone's mind. Friends are still missing, people are still dead, and time is running out.
Finally, the sun reaches its highest point. A low, deep thrumming sound echoes throughout the entire island, which turns into ringing, a drawn-out signal that grows louder and louder until it seems as though all other sounds on the island fall to a hush.
It is then that the lighthouse beacon becomes illuminated, drawing them all to the southern beach. That same voice as before rings, audible throughout the entire island.
Once the entire group has gathered, the lighthouse's beacon flickers out.
It is time to choose the next sacrifice... and hopefully, to catch a killer.
Good luck.

"There are those of you who hope to escape from this with clean hands...you may find yourselves successful. Will it be worth it? You are all participants in this game, and you will all be complicit in the sacrifices that take place here, or else you will not have earned your passage home. Twenty-four hours remain before the ritual must be completed, or you will all suffer the consequences. There is no consolation prize for less than eleven sacrifices.
You have until the sun vanishes beneath the horizon. Choose your next sacrifice, and choose who will dispatch them. Speak the names of your choices into the conch. Failure to cooperate will result in a fate worse than death.
...perhaps you should investigate the deaths. The bodies are out there, and the evidence as well... but you will have to find it yourselves.
...oh, and one more thing. There is a way to save yourselves...if you select the right sacrifice.
Tick-tock, tick-tock! Your time starts... now."

OOC NOTES
Welcome to your last trial, everyone! This trial will take place from 9am PST/12pm EST/4am NZST, and will last until 6pm PST/9pm EST/1pm NZST.
There will be a one-hour trial break from 1pm PST/4pm EST/8am NZST to 2pm PST/5pm EST/9am NZST. We recommend that you use this time to get something to eat if you haven't yet already, play some Animal Crossing, or even just take a quick nap. During this time, no mod tags will go out; we also ask that players refrain from starting any intensive threads such as interrogations, strip searches, hair or injury comparisons, etc. While we're not going to say you're not allowed to tag during this time, we also don't want anyone to miss out on anything important during an official break.
Please remember to have your character cast a vote on the voting page! Voting is mandatory, as it functions as the activity check for the game. If you do not cast a vote by the time trial is over, your character will be killed off. Please contact the mods prior to the end of the trial if something comes up and you are prevented from voting (i.e. 504 errors, etc).
If you have any questions, please go ahead and ask! Your mods and fellow players are always here to help. And most of all... have fun!

Approaching me? My apologies, Master Giyuu, but I'm a bit confused. Are we all gathered on the beach again? Where are the others?
[He looks around at the beach]
no subject
[ sorry, he is in no mood to fluff things up. he's a man who needs answers—chop chop. he isn't going to hustle 3po, but he isn't going to be exactly patient with him either. ]
You were in the middle of telling someone not to come closer. Who was it?
no subject
I'm afraid I can't recall. Perhaps it was old data? My most recent memory is powering down at exactly 2300 hours, as with last week.
[He looks at his empty shoulder sockets and none lower half]
Although I suppose it's possible my memory sustained some damage.
no subject
does giyuu understand what any of that means? no, what he can get is the fact that the robot doesn't know who attacked him and that his memory has been damaged by it. great!! the moment they have someone(??) would be able to clue them in on a person, it would end like this. ]
Even with this we still have no more new information.

Kurashiki, Ogata, and Flayn are dead.
[ look! ogata gets a name this spoken from giyuu's mouth for the first time all game. in death, he respects. that aside, he's really not mincing words or being delicate.
gomen to anyone else who may be watching this but...taps on watch. ]
no subject
Oh dear, how awful...I did worry about Superior Private Ogata and Miss Flayn, moving about and investigating as much as they did. I'd tried to warn them not to get involved.
no subject
What do you mean by that?
no subject
Superior Private Ogata in particular had recently taken an interest in that ominous looking tree in the lake. Oh, if only everyone had just listened to me and stayed together.
[he shakes his head sadly]
no subject
[ look, giyuu might not have the social skills to have dealt with ogata but it looks like enough people liked the robot so, fine. he'll talk to the robot. ]
Did he mention finding anything at the lake?
no subject
I'm afraid not, sir. He wasn't particularly forthcoming with his doings, and I didn't feel it was any of my concern.
no subject
though the answer has him have that oh-so awful feeling of being really agitated about what's going on and how there's so little to show for it. stupid robot for not being more of a busybody!!!!!! ]
no subject
no subject
[ did he remember something??? ]
no subject
no subject
Meaning?
threepio is very trying of patience
[He looks off to the side, his eyes rapidly flickering and flashing as he seems to process something]
Oh. I seem to recall seeing her outside the camp just prior to 2300 hours the night I was presumably attacked. I was concerned, but didn't wish to leave camp in case I shut down out in the wilderness.
Do you know what happened to her?
