TRIAL
Premise | Rules | Investigation
Full Nav
Today, the house feels quiet. There’s a somber air in the hallways, which don’t twist and turn as usual. In fact, no matter where you intend to go, your steps will take you to only one place: an ornate door, beyond which are dimly lit steps stretching down, down, into…
The Crypt.
Up beside the altar is the chest from yesterday’s investigation, now unlocked and full of all the evidence everyone gathered the day before. The Crypt itself is lit with flickering lights and deep shadows; eternally burning torches line the walls in their sconces. The pews before the altar are empty, except for one:
Pratibha is curled up on the left pew closest to the altar. It’s hard to tell if she’s asleep until more people filter in; she’ll lift her head, groggy and somewhat out of it, before teetering to her feet and standing before the altar. She looks haggard; exhausted isn’t enough to describe how tired she seems.
“Alright, people. Today’s your first ritual. Your job? Find out who killed Yoojin. You can’t play nice, there’s no way out of this. Either the culprit dies, or everyone but the culprit is executed.”
A huge, creaking yawn. “You can’t abstain, either. You’ve got to vote. If you don’t, there’s consequences.”
Energy guttering out, she teeters back to her pew and curls up on it.
“Got questions? Ask ‘em, but I don’t know if I’ll always be able to answer. Give it a shot or whatever.”
Immediately after delivering those last words, Pratibha falls asleep. Guess you’ll need to wake her if you need her…
Welcome to your first trial! Characters may discuss, in free for all/threadjacking fashion, everything related to the trial and the death of the victim. They may ask questions of Pratibha, whose ability to respond will be somewhat limited. It is truly up to all of you to solve this murder and bring the perpetrator to justice.
If there are any questions, ask on plurk or on the discord!
