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!

[halians]

[ yay great

also 8pm copypasta time let him check the soles of his boots while he's here!!

gimme foot! what kind of shoes is she wearing? do they have soles and tread? is there anything in the soles/tread? that includes debris, grass, sparkles, crushed rhinestones, etc - checking the laces/buckles/etc for damage/blood/cheese if there are any as well! ]

[siffrin]

[ A nod, yeah. Basically. ]

[teenrebellion]

Wait, more of the damn cheese? But I thought...

[ hmmm. ]

So Vi-san's killer did go back there and use it? Or... thought about it, maybe.

[riderculous]

[ Did he almost forget they body salsa'd him before?

This is fine. They will look at the others ]

I should inspect you more.

[damp]

If they came back, maybe they tampered with the picture? If Vi is the one who drew it in the first place.

[sixam]

Against the wall of the pictures. Shelf was across the room with the counter, wreckage from the dining room kinda in the middle.

[refractures]

I think you should do something else, actually.

[drymonster]

[ a pink version of the sneakers in the fit check ig. yes they have treads, they are typical sneakers. good condition, nothing weird on or in them, laces are clean and he will untie them if you want to double check that nothing's caught in them. ]

[teenrebellion]

Or they took it off completely afterward. Wasn't there acetone, too?

[mgtropes]

[ it could be any of these! ]

[mgtropes]

[they're short, they could reasonably belong to anyone.]

[bxkautx]

[ hmmmmmm. she is thinking so hard AND FOR WHAT ]

[sarkazm]

Vi used it at some point, right? So I'm thinking-- Vi used it first. Drew that pic on the wall. Then later, after the cheese, whoever got her came back to use it and added to it, since it looks kinda drawn over.

[rosebleed]

Yes? Don't most people change every day?

[selfimmolation]

[ pausing, thinking about it and actually bows down a little in apology DESPITE THE GUN IN HIS FACE ]

Yeah, you're right. Sorry.

[ NO HE'S NOT RIGHT? ]

[bulls]

Here.

[ pops one leg up at a time so you can see the bottom of each shoe.

he's wearing sturdy boots with a good tread to them. they are worn and old but there is nothing stuck on them or in their treads beyond like normal dirt that can get on boot treads. the laces/buckles/etc pass muster for no damage/cheese/blood beyond the wear and tear of existing through A Hard Life. any stains that do exist on some of the leather are way too old to be relevant. ]

[sarkazm]

It's looking like it, yeah.

[sootprints]

Ah!

Maybe that's it. So the original must be Vi's intention...

[bulls]

[ go my child be gone. ]

Thanks for enduring me. You're free.

[honourous]

[ she will say something to tama as an aside, leaning down ]

RESULTS

[foreverphantom]

The hair is closest to Kaworu, Mordalion, Siffrin, Strohl, Tama, and Wis’adel.

[ballies]

Usually! But it does mean I'm gonna be a pain and ask to see the outfit you wore on Thursday. Just to be sure.

[ also can she like. sniff her hair? weirdly. lovingly. what does it smell like? ]

[ballies]

[ oh, okay! on it. ]

left gauntlet/glove (first aid)

[sixam]

[ apparently this was left to me, so i suppose he'll still be here and check this glove as well? same deal, how are we looking in terms of damage/blood/etc? ]

TRIAL HINT??

[sootprints]

... There is a way to find the most important evidence for one of these cases.

Which one of the two do we feel we are in more need of a hint for?
