week 1 trial

W1: TRIAL

34 REMAIN.

In the morning at 11:30am sharp, you hear the intercom speakers blare loudly across the entire airport, perfectly audible no matter where you are.

All passengers, please report to Terminal 0 Gate Area effective immediately. All passengers, please report to Terminal 0 Gate Area effective immediately...

...But that's so far...! Groan. Still—even if you try your best to resist, you'll find your body moving against your will and taking you all the way over there anyway. After what feels like forever of walking, you'll arrive to the gate and see that a few things are different. Most of you probably had a feeling this is what you should expect, right?

The gate has been refurnished a little bit for the proceedings today. The metal gates will not let anyone out of the Gate Area without permission, but at least there's some snacks set out, and Allstars Coffee is still open in case you need a coffee break. Your Hosts await you near the front behind the counters, carrying various, but all expectant attitudes. After all, we knew this was coming.

► OOC Notes

Welcome to trial! Over the course of the next nine hours, characters will need to discuss the circumstances, investigate relevant locations, and put together theories about the truth behind this week's murders!

Trial will last from 9am PST/12pm EST until 6pm PST/9pm PST. There will be an hour-long break starting 1pm PST/4pm EST; while players are free to continue tagging during this time, it is intended to allow players to take a minute to eat, rest, what have you.

Lastly, voting is mandatory. Please be absolutely sure to get your IC vote in before the end of trial, or there are severe IC consequences!

DM the mods if you intend to use a curse during trial. Curse duration may be altered or subject entirely to mod approval depending on how many curses are in play. Curse duration must end before break.

Good luck!

[ Your Hosts await you from behind the counters.

North is waiting behind their counter with a pen in hand, a fresh new notebook open to an empty page.

East is standing nearby, their vibes somber but alert as they watch the proceedings.

West is sitting behind the counter, arms crossed. Their finger occasionally taps against their arm.

South is standing and stretching idly a little off to the side, seemingly getting ready for the long hours ahead.

At the counter, there are a few snacks prepared. There are some mini muffins, fritatta squares, and some sliced fruit, toast and jam.

You can stop by and ask them questions about anything, any-time. Please specify 1-2 you are addressing when tagging, especially if it is in the later half of trial. ]

BODY CHECK(S)

[mgtropes]

[ Out near the front, there are these cheap tables, the kind made out of somewhat rough plastic and tend to wobble a little.

Today there are 2 tables.

There are blankets covering the bodies as they await their autopsies. ]

[brings west a pastry]

How're you holding up?

[rosebleed]

[gimme East and West]

Another day, another disaster.

[She grimaces, looking around as she fetches a plate of sliced fruit and a piece of toast.]

Sorry if this is a redundant question, but are we able to tell if someone picked up a gift from the Duty Free Shop? I know that was a big concern this week.

[halians]

[ YAY!!!!!

here's strohl! he looks like he hasn't slept - dark circles under his eyes, and all. voice rough as sandpaper, he ducks his head slightly in greeting to all four. no snackies this time. all sharp eyed business. gimme north!!! ]

The announcement said "terminal 1". Are we going to be able to explore the whole terminal at once, or will it be separate?

[ ...

and then after a moment, to west, quieter: ] ... I don't know about our plans for later. [ no really ]

[drymonster]

[ low-key high five for south again ]

Guessing you can't tell us anything about the number of killers or possessions, huh?

[mgtropes]

[ they accept it, nodding their head in gratitude ]

It would be callous to say I'm alright, but I do not think I'm one of the most aching here.

[ so many big feelings... ]

You?

[ballies]

[ comes to lean on the counter somewhere near north and south. ]

Two, then.

I'm guessing same rules as usual, no extensions or anything like that?

[sootprints]

[ limping a little as she comes by and gives them all a nod in greeting, then stops to talk to north. ]

Is there anything we ought to keep in mind today?

[mgtropes]

[ shakes head ]

Items cannot be collected until after trial concludes, so I wouldn't waste time trying to determine motive.

[nostradamus]

[grabbing brunch from the snack counter. thank you.

anyway, to sweet south--]

Only one vote even if we decide there are two killers today, yes?

[mgtropes]

[north will give strohl a sympathetic look, but will get to business.]

I believe the announcement specifies a particular location in the terminal for each.

[agleam]

Pretty much the same.

Can I ask something about the new achievements that opened up, or is that not something you can answer?

[mgtropes]

[a light bow of their head. west got the question, so.]

... I'm sorry. Good luck.

[feytality]

[ brings tea for all of them and waves, but talks to west and north ]

How are you...?

[mgtropes]

Good morning, Miss Tama.

[hands her a muffin.]

I'm afraid not. But I think if all of you work hard at it, the additional victim should not prevent you from solving it in time.

[sixam]

[ all of them get a nod and a wave, but jonas is settling to greet west and also drop off a coffee. ]

Morning. Not that I think you can tell us right now, but... do you guys know when people do kills for those items in the duty shop?

[toxicate]

[ not taking sweets today. to south; ]

This unfortunately feels very familiar.

VI

[honourous]

[ hulkenberg is going to request a pair of gloves for this, but she will come over afterwards and pull back the blanket that's over, presumably, vi's remains.

what's there at first blush, friend. ]

[mgtropes]

[ yikes. who did this to him

they watch him for a moment before speaking in the same softer tone ]

In peaks and in rubble, Strohl. [ as they said before. ]

But it is up to you.
