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!

[selfimmolation]

I didn't know they went in pairs.

[ so he has. no idea! this is great. ]

[nostradamus]

Oh? [low whistle, like. whew that's a lot of damage for just One Body. fascinating.] Think someone used the gauntlets against her? If they're strong enough to mess her up that bad, there's a good chance they're strong enough to lug those two things around.

[mgtropes]

[ They're really small, sparkly bits. ]

[honourous]

[ delicately setting her hand on her shoulder in just. solidarity. ]

We will. I will not allow us to fail her, or to fail Anders.

[sarkazm]

Yeah. Like, it's not a bad thought, but let's not lock in on thinking we know exactly what did it either.

[riderculous]

[ their short cute energy ]

[sixam]

We'd have to ask Todomatsu or Kate about how the monster afflictions worked, I think. At least to understand if that was even a possibility.

She let me try them once, and they do form to the wearer's hands. But it could just mean they were dropped and abandoned elsewhere to get out of the way so she couldn't use them herself.

[honourous]

[ listens to him and weesh... ]

I'm unsure as to whether the mechanical beast would leave bite marks or not. 'Tis a good thought to check it, if we will already be heading there for investigation before too long.

[halians]

[ get it together, man. he'll take it - white knuckled, tight grip, and suck in another breath, in and out. under his breath: ] Bloody overkill, don't you think?

[ HHHGHGHG okay that comment out of the way. he's fine. he's cool. he's so fine. he's so chill. strategist. cool head. if you're angry, it's easier to be lied to. ]

...Whatever got her in the hand must've been after she lost her gauntlets. If...they're theorising about the - damned alligator, in the golf course [ another pinched, mad look but he squeezes again. ] - She might've...

[ he makes a gesture with other hand. flat palm, pushing upwards, as if trying to push something open. ]

If we think its got sharp teeth like that. Haven't been in there, myself.

STICKERS (vi)

[rosebleed]

[Presenting a sheet of stickers for team Wahoo.]

There's nothing wrong with these, either. Maybe they should go back to her team.

[feytality]

[ she is training him to accept handholds ]

No kidding....

[sarkazm]

... and to ditch 'em somewhere, if they don't find those things where her body would've been. If you can heft them around, you can probably swing with them.

Wait, could they use those to tear into her too--?

[ballies]

[ really small? like... glitter flecks small? ]

[sixam]

[ pets his hair a little. ]

Yeah, tell me about it. We have way too many moving parts still to even really pick a direction yet.

[peripheries]

[Alright, if he moves down the legs below the beautiful knees... is there anything up with his boots? Kaworu will check them for any weird residue, marks, or damage both on the boot itself and the soles. He'll also check inside them just in case...]

[honourous]

I was thinking the same, truthfully. Perhaps her learning from the last time that this same situation happened to her. [ rueful ] We are unfamiliar with her new injuries, so 'twould be hard to tell how little or much they were healed, if her trip ones were unchanged.

[nostradamus]

The force probably caused her to bite down hard enough to dislodge it, no? I think it's possible, too.

[halians]

[ don't look at the ic manpain rosamund you'er too good for this ]

ITEM / WEAPON CHECK

[sootprints]

... Let's see what items everyone is carrying today. We need to find out what caused the injuries we saw on Vi, and we may find more to compare before long.

Show us everything you have, especially your weapons. If you withhold something, you may become a suspect.

[siffrin]

[ SMH

Offers a smile in return, patpat. ] Remember to take it easy, take a break if you need it.

[ But here have water, stay hydrated. ]

[drymonster]

Sometimes, I think, but they were usually pretty subtle.

[siffrin]

Something to work with once we check it out.

[ Gentle arm pat. Thank you for your hard work. ]

[feytality]

Yeah, good idea.

WEAPONS

[sootprints]

[mgtropes]

[ Bigger than glitter flecks, and they're solid. It seems more like fragmented pieces of something sparkly, but it doesn't look like they're broken pieces of something particularly large; they seem relatively small individually. ]
