MOCK TRIAL WEEK 1

[consolemods]

So, after the sheriff's little introduction, you've got a better idea of why you're here... and outside of the more bloody-minded players present, it's probably not one you're terribly enthused about. Nevertheless, you're here, you're not leaving, and you've got a few rules to follow... but aside from that, you're basically left to your own devices. You can visit any of the locations in the town, and you do get complementary meals at the inn for breakfast, lunch, and dinner... but the question of whether someone will go ahead and kill hangs over the town like a dense fog.

Well, nobody's dead yet. But how long, exactly, will that last?

25 PLAYERS REMAIN

...what.

[cruxiscrystals]

I know. An ice cream party? Seems fishy.

[stavros]

That's no kind of incentive. Do you think there's something else?

[cruxiscrystals]

I was only kidding. [A soft, kind smile––just a touch whimsical.]

The real incentive is freedom, right? They want someone to take a life, because they assume that person wants to get out of this badly enough.

[stavros]

You're probably right. Like I told someone else, he said he was used to willing participants. Perhaps freedom will be enough, but if this doesn't work, what then?

[cruxiscrystals]

The important thing is that we don't let them win.

Even if they do something awful to us, wouldn't it be so terrible to stoop to something as low as murder? I'm sure we can figure something out with enough patience. There hasn't been a single cage created that couldn't be escaped from.

My name is Mithos. What's yours? [Offers a hand!]

[stavros]

[Kokoro hesitates and shakes it with a nod.]

Kokoro Belmont, of the Belmont clan. I hope you're right about that. Regardless, we can't give up so easily.

[cruxiscrystals]

Friendship is the best way to overcome any obstacle. [He'll let go of her hand and put his hands on his hips.]

Which means the only thing we can do for now is wait, right? Aside from investigates our, um, colorful surroundings...

Found or heard anything interesting?

[stavros]

Not yet. But it can't be impossible! I did figure out how to use the VR display, at least.

[cruxiscrystals]

Ah, good to know. [He looks a bit sheepish, now.]

Where I'm from, we don't have things like this at all, so I've been pretty lost. I'd appreciate any tips an expert like you might have!

[stavros]

When you try looking at the icons, they'll expand. Try the rules down in the corner.

[helldestiny]

What? Haven't you ever killed anyone for ice cream?

[COME ON, this is hilarious!]

[stavros]

No, because I have common sense!
