🔎 Wes: JSS Quiz Nighy, @ UWA Tavern, 6pm onwards

To focus on the Quiz Night, please note that there will be no Kaiwa, Mutsumi no Ma or other regular activities.

Step into the trial… but make it fashion.

Welcome to the Tavern Trial: Marukuma’s Madness look book — where every outfit tells a story, and every detail could be a clue. From sharp silhouettes to unsettlingly sweet motifs, your look might just say more than your answers ever will.

Will you embody the detective, the deceiver… or the one hiding in plain sight?

Dress to impress. Dress to mislead. Dress like your life depends on it.

The question is — when the truth comes out, what will your outfit say about you? 🔍🩸
