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!

ogata + the jungle
Hey, so, there wasn't anything at the ruins really, but the tunnel lead us to the jungle. There was, like, a trap that was set off, and a bloody rock, I think?
Two sets of prints. One was smaller than the other. I guess the other might've been Ogata's. And, uh, the bear. The bear was definitely there. [He hefts the gun around, but like safely...] Found this, too. Blood was everywhere.
no subject
... Sakamoto-kun, do you know how to unload a gun?
no subject
...Uh. Yeah, I guess?
no subject
[ look, he's one of the only other moderns here ok ]
no subject
[He comes wandering back. He still has the magazine out of the gun, showing it to her.]
There ain't nothing left, sorry.
no subject
If he shot them, the... casings would be ejected too, wouldn't they? Or should they still be in here?
Either someone got the drop on him really fast, or he used them all, which means he got in fight. If we got lucky, he shot his attacker. [ ... ] Or attackers.
no subject
If he shot someone, we'd definitely know... unless they had some weird way of... I dunno, getting out of that mess. Or, uh, if he shot the bear.
no subject
[ That's suspicious. ]
Although if I recall correctly, Ogata-san isn't too much taller than I am.
no subject
no subject
Although... are there many that would go with him somewhere?
[ Or that he would go with on a Thursday night? ]
no subject
Someone fell on it? Someone used it to bash someone else?
Dammit... I dunno, did the effin' bear interrupt someone trying to kill him? Did someone sic the bear on him? We're running out of time, man.
no subject
[ She's not sure, though, because a murderer wouldn't stick around for a bear to find both of them if they wanted to be safe. ]
Unless we find out Ogata-san was hit with a rock. Or someone else was.
no subject
We found the bear as well. Judging from the tracks, it had run up to some sort of prey and ate them.
[ :grimacing: ]
no subject
[THE BEAR.]
So someone killed him, and then feral Winnie the Pooh screwed our evidence over maybe by eating him? Dammit...
