REMAINING
WUH-OH?
Rise and shine, superstars! It's a brand new day and a brand new opportunity to prove that you have what it takes to win this season's grand prize.
Didn't manage to sleep well after yesterday's grisly discovery? A shame. But filming schedules are a cruel mistress, and they don't care to wait for the sleep deprived. As soon as the clock strikes 11:30AM, an announcement will play from the numerous loudspeakers hidden around the island:
... Hey, doesn't that voice sound familiar? Is this what they call a celebrity cameo? Huh.
Ignore the announcement, and you'll soon find yourself accosted by the local mascots — namazu, loporrits and gestrals alike following after you and trying their damnedest to haul your ass to the beach. And if the pleading stare of these adorable(?) creatures is still not enough to get you moving, then worry not! Because at exactly 11:59AM, if you still haven't made your way over to the beach, a trap door will abruptly materialize under your feet and drop you right into the path leading up to the beach! Better stick your landing, or millions of viewers across the galaxies will watch you belly flop onto the ground. Embarrassing...
The path leading up to the beach has been lined with torches, carving out a direct trail that leads right into the bowels of The Council — an old, abandoned ship that rests on the island's south shore. Whether it's the real deal or a fantastic piece of art from this season's set designers is anyone's guess, but you should probably avoid rubbing up against the rustier looking bits and bobs just in case.
Inside the bowels of the rotting vessel, you'll see a circular area with enough benches for all of the remaining contestants to lounge about, and several long stone slabs that look a little less empty than usual. And while the sun shines bright above you during the daytime, you'll find that the torches surrounding the ship will soon become your only source of illumination once the sun sets and you are plunged into the murky darkness of the night. Well, with the sole exception of one torch that will remain unlit the entire time.
At the far end sit three thrones with a rather peculiar display behind each one, and currently occupied by Live, Laugh and Love. A large LED display has been hung up behind them, which simply reads:
As soon as it's officially 12:00PM, the LED display will begin to count down until it hits 00:00:00:00 at the very end of the trial.
To the left of your hosts, there's a large beach cooler filled with all kinds of chilled drinks — from water bottles, to juice pouches and sodas, and, yes, even half bottles of wines and other alcoholic drinks. There's a plastic table nestled a couple of feet away, where the remains of the ship shield it from the sun, covered in a spread of sandwiches, baked goods, chips, dips, and what appears to be leftovers from yesterday's lunch and dinner. None of these items are fresh and most of them look like they came right out of a vending machine, but it's the thought that counts...?
Welcome to your very first trial, superstars! Better get nice and comfy, because you're going to be here for a long, long while.

TIME REMAINING

☰ VICTIM(S)
Will
☰ OOC NOTES
✦ It's trial time, baby! Over the course of the next nine hours, characters will have the opportunity to discuss, investigate and theorize about this week's murder. Characters will have time to examine the body of the victim and explore relevant locations.
✦ There will be a one hour tag break starting at 4PM EST/1PM PST. While players are allowed to keep tagging through the hour, all mod tags will pause and players are encouraged to take a break, eat and hydrate.
✦ The voting page is now unlocked! Please read through the post carefully for more information about how voting will work in this game. Note that voting is not mandatory in The Vine, and it is up to each character to decide if they wish to cast a vote before the end of the trial or not.
✦ Characters will be unable to leave The Council until the end of trial, as they will be blocked off by that same translucent barrier that prevents them from entering the currently locked segments of the island and a small gaggle of some very determined mascots. You wouldn't want to make them sad, right...? Exceptions will be made for the purpose of investigations, of course, where characters will be accompanied by an NPC escort.
QUESTIONS
Live is sitting sideways with their legs dangling over one of the armrests, gripping their heavily pixelated upper arm with an equally as pixelated hand. Their LED screen is blank. They're wearing a Hawaiian shirt, khaki shorts and dad sandals.
Laugh is sitting criss-cross in their throne, their elbow on their knee and their chin propped in their hand. Their LED screen is currently blank. Like Live, they're also wearing a Hawaiian shirt, khaki shorts and dad sandals.
Love is sprawled out with a flask, their helmet not showing any fun emotes this time. It's just a subdued rippling light effect, in blues and whites. What are they wearing, you ask? It's yet another Hawaiian shirt with khaki shorts and dad sandals.
Please specify which of the hosts you are addressing, especially in the later half of trial.]

INVESTIGATIONS
THE LEMON LOUNGE....?
as the group arrives at the front porch, the mysterious blood becomes less mysterious; it leads up the front porch and past the front door of the mansion. the front door also appears to be partially open, and you can see that some of that mysterious blood continues inside...
for your reference, here is the map!
laugh stops here and puts their hands on their hips. ] You sure you all just want to go straight upstairs...?

❄️ RISE AND SHINE, COLD OPEN TIME ❄️
Listen up! [ In case you weren’t listening. ] Here’s what we know so far about our situation. On Thursday night, all of us were placed in a “curfew” and locked to certain locations, only to be forcibly knocked unconscious at about midnight. Sometime in the eight hours between now and Friday morning, Will was killed and his body was found here at the Council, on one of those slabs. Rawiyah and Narja can provide you with a more personal account.
They call this a “sudden elimination round”, and we have nine hours to look for clues, investigate the island, and find who was responsible for Will’s demise.
So. I want to know who you were with, where you were with, and any additional information you may know so we can start looking in the right direction. Do not waste any of the time we have.
