Heating Up

Triggers: fire, burning alive

Elmott has been found guilty of MURDER

Commencing Punishment now

He fell deeper and deeper, to places unknown, to fates unknown. Did he reflect on his action, did he regret them? Did he regret savaging a stranger and pushing him to his doom?  Did he feel anything at all?

When he finally landed, it was in a small, metal encased room, the entrance above closing shut and leaving him in complete darkness. Then, the coils turned on, washing the room in a brilliant red glow. Coils lined the ceiling, the walls, everywhere, burning hot and filling the small room with heat.

He killed to escape the cold right? It was only fitting.

It only took seconds for the room to heat to uncomfortable levels. The Air it self was burning him as he breathed, as he lived, and the hot metal floor was melting through his boots’ soles. Everything was hot, everything was burning. Panic, panic, he had to escape, he had to get out.

Clawing at the walls, trying to find a loose panel, anything, anything to pry and escape from. He got in, he can get out!  But all he met was searing metal,  melding his gloves to his flesh. Everything hurt, everything burned, he could feel his insides cooking and he could only claw helplessly for an escape.

as it dragged on (perhaps it was taking too long?), panels opened up, shooting out bursts of fire and flooding the room with it. Fire, heat coils, hot air, hot hot HOT hot. He cries out in excruciating pain, still trying in vain to escape, running on pure, unadulterated Adrenalin. Even as the fire licked his flesh black and white, sloughing off everything from his bones, he tried, he tried until he buckled, tried until he couldn’t even scream anymore, tried until he was curled up and dead.

The feed continues to be bathed in fire, a moment too long perhaps, before mercifully ending. Even the warden blinked, almost... perplexed, as she dismissed you.

Well, He killed to escape the cold, it was only fitting. Chapter 2 END

Trial 2 START

}”All Prisoners, report to the central area of the first floor immediately.”{

 The compound was finally feeling like it’s typical temperature by the time the investigation was over. Those who wondered what would happen to the crime scene, found much of it already cleaned. The turrets above made quick work melting away the glass and blood, and two omnics had already loaded the body (In a body bag) onto a hovering Gurney. Only the blanket remained as a reminder on what happened here.

Oh, that poor man.  Poor Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu. You had to find justice for him.Or you’ll be next.

Symmetra, again made a headcount, satisfied all were present this time, and quickly directed everyone through the activated portal. 

 The Trial roomed looked much the same, with the only exception being two new, holographic portraits over their respective podiums. Tex’s (Oh, yes, How long since anyone thought of her?), and the victim’s. Unceremoniously Symmetra took her place.

“I hope you do not need me to remind you of the rules. Debate among yourselves, find the culprit so they alone will suffer the punishment of their crime, Or fail, and all except them will perish.”

“Now. Begin.”

It’s time for a trial! Using what you know, ask each other and debate to figure out the killer! The key word is “together”, remember to work together. two heads are better then one.

Since It seemed to go a lot better, The Trial will take place on discord this time along. You can still post reactions on tumblr!

You may ask Symmetra anything about the case or evidence, though how or what she answers varies.

Symmetra will occasionally share evidence or insight to help aid the case along. She doesn’t want you all to fail, after all. She’ll also never lie to you about evidence.

Symmetra will not confirm alibis unless she is directly involved.

Don’t make assumptions, only things confirmed by Symmetra has said are completely true

Don’t overthink it. I’m not nearly as clever as you think I am. If it looks like a duck and acts like a duck, it’s probably a duck.

The trial will come to an end at August 24, regardless if a verdict has been reached. The trial can also end early if everyone wants to vote.

A body has been discovered

 Today, the compound was 20 degrees Fahrenheit.  Though you bundled yourself up best you could, the ambient chill was difficult to ignore. and it was only to get worse.   But you didn’t want to think about that. You didn’t wan to consider  that. sooner or later, someone was going to s n a p.

Perhaps returning to your room from breakfast, or going there for an early lunch, your mind was on keeping warm. On keeping safe.... 

THUD

 Whatever thoughts you might have had was dispelled at the sound of something impacting, HARD. Dropping everything, you ran to investigate the sound, quick to find a body, laying on the very middle of the 1st floor. Perhaps some ran to make sure he was okay, other stood back in shock, shoes crunching  glass as they approach.  

Was that... the guy with the eye patch? Oh no, oh no oh no! What do you do!?

Then, after a few moments, the announcement finally rung. 

}”A body has been discovered. Everyone report to the 1st floor lobby.”{ 

After a few moments, your warden and any missing prisoners had reported to the scene. (Warden shivers lightly at the still cold temperature as she counts the heads present).

“...Hm. To remind you all, I have provided you with a brief report on the victim on your devices. It is now your duty to investigate and discover the culprit behind this murder. Do not waste your own time this time.”  And with that she leaves, your devices ringing out to indicate the new file.

Vishkar Report 2:

Victim: Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu, 22

Discovered by: Break man,  Ceril O’Donnell, Geno

Cause of death: Complications of a fall

Time of death: 11:04 AM

The Victim was discovered in the center of the 1st floor main area, his back with limbs splayed. The body is on top of what appears to be a broken glass, as well the trial room teleporter.

There seems to be a small number of shallow scratches on the victim’s cheek and arm

The back of the victim’s head is currently bleeding.

Though you could feel the compound start to warm up, you still felt a chill. You’ll... have to do this again. 

About the crime scene:

There are shards of broken glass all over.

There is a single blanket laying on the floor, very close to the body

If people were to look up, they’ll see what looks like a second blanket hanging limply from the 3rd floor  balcony.

You have two weeks to investigate ! Send investigation asks here, or message mods on discord!  

Please post all discoveries made on Discord on Tumblr, for linking purposes.

You can question other muses and ask questions and for testimonies, including Symmetra! Mind, that no one, innocent or guilty, has to tell the truth or answer at all.

If you wanna clear out where your muse was or what they saw, message a mod. Mods will tell you what your muse saw, or ask you to change it if your muse shouldn’t/couldn’t be in that area at that time.

The trial will start when either all evidence has been found, or August 2nd!

The trial will start no matter how much evidence has been collected, and more can not be collected after it starts.

due to no one utilizing it last time, you’ll have to make your own evidence dock.

Chapter 2: Frozen over

 It was a quiet morning. It has been little over two weeks since the trial. The images of the deaths of  two fellow prisoners, now missing among your ranks, still occasionally teasing your dreams and reminding you of where you were.

Many of you were just barely stirring from your (unrestful) sleep, when an announcement rings out.

}”All Prisoners, report to the board room immediately.”{

Your hearts all sink as you realize what this means. Oh no.

You all enter the boardroom, varying level of anxiety, of anger, of morbid curiosity of what’s to come, swarming among you. Your warden sat in the chair, as she did last time, this time alone. There was no briefcase, just a sense of dread. 

“Good morning,” She greets, her tone monotonous as always. “As you have assumed, I am here to provide for you another motive. As this facility is, for the most part, sealed, we have full control of everything within it. Including the temperature.”

  Some of you  blink in vague confusion. Temperature? She easily brings up a hologram screen, showing it towards the rest of the group with a bored casualness. The image of a thermometer and the temperature listed in plain numbers.  Yep. Temperature. 

“As you can see, the current temperature within this facility is 70 degrees fahrenheit, or 21 degrees Celsius. Every day, the temperature will drop one degree until a murder occurs. You all have approximately a month to commit a murder before the facility reaches freezing temperatures.”

“And it will only continue from there.”  With that she sits up and walks out, everyone looking between themselves. It wasn’t an ungenerous ultimatum, but, neither was the last one either. In a sense.

Though it was still plenty warm, you had chills.

How soon will someone crack?

You can volunteer your muses fro Killer, Victim, and plot roles now! Send a message to this blog or a mod on Discord!

 If you already volunteered before the motive reveal, you may back out or change your muse’s role.
