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!

It was odd. I wonder if Ogata was the one who set these.
[ they did run into traps last time... if so maybe ogata did them some favors in keeping them safe that night? who knows. either way. he bends down, very carefully, and wraps his hand around the back of the rock to pick it up so the stain goes untouched. ] Look.
[ this has to be blood. if he looks up from the rock, will there be more down the path? ]
no subject
but there are footprints. it looks like two sets, one of them smaller than the other, but they're kind of, uh.
well.
they're kind of obscured by the bear tracks following them deeper into the jungle.]
no subject
[Hm. He points.]
Hey, there's some sma--are those bear tracks?! Dude! Did the bear chase two people...?
no subject
hm. concerning.
yin yu moves to walk very carefully along the outside of the tracks, watching his steps for any other traps, while he's at it. ] There's only one way to find out. Watch your step, alright?
[ he'd normally go up in the trees... but he doesn't want to abandon ryuji down here so. let's follow those tracks!!! what do they lead to. is there any busted up foilage along the way? ]
no subject
They don't encounter any other traps, but following the tracks leads them to an area where... there's a body up ahead. A body that doesn't look like it's in great shape, though you will probably have to bring it back to do a more thorough investigation.
It's Ogata.
His gun is lying a few feet away from him.
There's a fair amount of blood in this area. Something definitely happened here.]
no subject
Damn! [He slams on the breaks, but it isn't like he's too far off to see the body anyway.] Is that--? Shit, it's definitely him, isn't it? There's a gun, too!
Did the bear get 'im...? There's so much blood, dude.
no subject
ugh. definitely ogata. he picks his way around the crime scene, carefully trying to avoid messing up any evidence or the crime scene. he looks awful, but there's no time to investigate now--time to pass off to someone else. ]
...Let's get him back to the beach. The more eyes we can get on this the better. [ plus he's not a tall dude, but he's pretty muscled, so it may take them both to get him out with as little damage as possible. ] ...Can you get his weapon? It looks like there's a strap, if you can put it over your back.
[ he'll take the brunt of the weight of this bloody, bloody man to carry him back. at least they got here quickly through space time. ]
