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!

[gloved hands

but she'll remove her gloves to show clean hands and her pretty manicure]

[frotag]

[ SIGHS he has no issues stripping, but he is not excited about it. he takes off his shirt and jacket by default, and will go behind whatever privacy device is supplied to take off his pants if requested. there are girls here...

- visible without stripping but tiny cuts all over his face and a crooked nose
- faint scar over his heart, though not nearly as fresh as this. it's much, much fainter and healed, but it is a scar nonetheless.
- a tattoo under the scar that says letting everyone down
- back tattoo

but nothing that looks like a claire's tattoo. ]

[selfimmolation]

[ hand... ]

[ballies]

[ looks at her. pats her arm and goes behind the screen. ]

[refractures]

Thanks.

[ Without his usual cheer, because he can at least recognize Strohl's distress.

He has those long gold earrings pierced through his ears, but that's about it. ]

[bxkautx]

Thanks for checking.

[findsrisks]

[Once there is a privacy screen and a girl to check her, Nanaki will go ahead and start.

She'll take off her shirt and hold up her skirt so her legs can be checked. She has some old scars on her knuckles and forearms, with a few stray round scars in various places. These are all well-healed and several months old.

Also right over her heart is the weekly effect that says "8,432 to go".]

[it is a strong smell but you will need a trial nose to smell it. but fortunately, there is trace liquid on both the glass shards and fabric.

north will hand dante the extinguisher, so he can go on ahead and put it out! it will take him a bit to put out the windmill, but once he does, he will see some additional glass shards at the base of the windmill.

the staff is for trial eyes. but tama can continue to follow the trail. yes, the red she sees here is blood! there are blood drips like whoever was running was bleeding and then, over near the area where she found the golf clubs, tama will see another area where there is blood splatter in the grass. after that, the trail continues, and there is even more red mixed in with the grass.]

[sootprints]

[ UGH. there's a little soot that rises from her head. ]

Thank you.

Got a dent on one end and a bloody smeared hand print on the bottom end. Not enough to compare, but it does look like the right hand.

So just confirms likely Vi grabbed it and broke the exhibit glass for the dust.

[peripheries]

[Hands. His knuckles are healing from bruises from the execution last week.]

[mgtropes]

[ Nothing wrong with it! It's a cosy home, to someone. Was.

Nothing wrong with it except the blood leading up the stairs to the second floor. It leads to a room. Someone’s cast-off jewelry for the day has been left scattered over a side-table crowded with potion ingredients and bandages and messily scrawled notes with doodles of tigers eating men in heavy armor spurting blood and going auuuuugh. There’s a black coat with feathers at the shoulders on a hook behind the door and a well-worn staff leaning against the wall.

A lyre is leaned in a chair in the corner, which is shoved next to a little perch under the window that’s covered in orange cat hair. The place would smell medicinal, if it weren’t so heavily covered by the smell of blood. All of this also looks half-transparent and flickery. Or most of this, anyway.

By the bed on the floor, there's a very large pool of red. ]

[riderculous]

[ hands ]

[damp]

[ here! ]

[rosebleed]

If we must...I would prefer a girl, though? No offense. And a bit of privacy.

[toxicate]

[ closest to a hand icon i have

delicate elven fingies ]

[drymonster]

[ fit check and super cute nails!

he will take off the sweater and hat, roll up his sleeves and pants, and lift his sweatshirt up to his chest. no tattoos, piercings, or injuries are visible. ]

[selfimmolation]

[ specifically not looking away i guess :/ ]

[sixam]

[ oh wait and actual hand ]

[preordain]

[ sure. ]

[lifeless]

[Manwol will use the screen/privacy curtain. She will also prefer a woman to look at her.

- fit check! along with hat and gloves.
- she'll remove her jacket first, other clothes upon request.
- no visible bruises or tattoos or injuries on her arms/neck/face]

[halians]

How much more necessary does "the killer's likely got a sparkly tattoo or a piercing or a mark that will give concrete evidence as to whether someone's even in a pool of suspects" have to be?

[sootprints]

[ after jacopo comes by. ]

So it wasn't a team purchase, but something you had from the beginning. From now on, please give straightforward answers to simple questions.

The items on your profile, "angel's trumpets" and "a bloody dog." What are they?

[rosebleed]

[hand!

WAIT MY MANICURE]

[frotag]

Yeah...it doesn't seem fair if the people who get tattoos can't remove 'em.
