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!

[preordain]

Can you say he name of the thing again?

[halians]

[ oh... cool!!!! great! more murmured than anything: ]

....How long was she fighting...?

[teenrebellion]

Everything happens starting at midnight, right? So she could have done it before she died, or... maybe someone just used her name.

[ballies]

[ atta boy. ]

It's something to start with, at least.

[damp]

What else would it be...?

[obdure]

[ ITS FINE ]

That isn't a bad string of logic. Sometimes you do what to an injury that's swollen?

[frotag]

[ yeah ichiban would be using way more exclamation marks at the idea of getting to introduce someone to the world of video games if it wasn't for the circumstances. ]

Cool. We'll figure things out later, then.

[obdure]

I'm sure Roxana would appreciate that later.

[disingenuous]

I suppose you can be a distraction.

[teenrebellion]

Matsuoka. How many people know about this.

[damp]

[ ??? ]

Yeah, exactly.

[feytality]

Well, no one else logged using it. So they could still be healed.

[selfimmolation]

[ a pause ]

Breaking it down like that feels a little condescending.

[ he deserves it but damn. yay... ice... but then it says halloween and he's just

what ]

[sixam]

[ trying not to grin at the name. ]

Nice job, Maya. So this means one of two things. Either the fight started and Vi tried to heal in between to get a fighting chance, or... it was easier to write her name. Not like these things check IDs, right?

[halians]

... In her - the last time, her - the person who attacked her targeted two people. The attacker turned the first one into cheese.

[ MAD AGAIN!!!!! DUMB CONNECTIONS!!!!!! ]

[toxicate]

Ours originated in the Dark States of my homeworld, so was likely named by demons or ghosts, and even they didn't decide it was hallowed.

[honourous]

'Tis not necessary to log your name, if I recall correctly, but... for her to take the time to do so would give us the clue to go there.

[foreverphantom]

She might've gone for it right off the bat--when she realized she was still awake, she went in for more healing to fight off the killer.

Can you even use someone else's name with this thing?

[selfimmolation]

Yeah. We've got worse things to figure out first.

[drymonster]

Yeah, it's only if they filled out the log, you don't have to do that to use it. So maybe she did that on purpose to point us there?

[feytality]

Sure. Defribblegator.

[preordain]

Oh.




They didn't eat the cheese, did they?

[obdure]

[ he is mostly serious because if they could control freaks so easily life would be better ]

[teenrebellion]

Never said that. But talking about the "cute outfits" at your age is a little weird.

...Really? You're going to complain about world bias when there are a thousand worlds out there and too many of us here are somehow still from Earth?

[ballies]

[ anyway. ]

Hmmm. Well, even if I do learn to throw a punch there are some scenarios where it's better to feign uselessness.
