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!

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. ]

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]

[at first blush... vi is covered in nacho cheese. hm. oh dear. but she has all of her limbs! she is wearing this.]

[honourous]

[ i stow away in sisi's mcr luggage so i can pop out like a feral raccoon and chew flurry's face off

unfortunately, hulkenberg drank some of this cheese on a dare/out of her voracious curiosity, so does it smell exactly like the kind that's in the murder museum? ]

[mgtropes]

[it does smell like the murder museum nacho cheese, yes. waow. good thing hulkenberg drank some of it before it got used in a murder.]

[honourous]

[ wao... lucky...

alright, well, she's going to just start trying to clean the cheese off of vi, carefully picking through it for any debris, odd things that stand out, stuff that's not part of her canon fit. she'll slop it into a pile to the side for people to pick through if they really desire. is it full body coverage or only a portion of her? ]

ANDERS

[peripheries]

[First of all as someone who hosts garden parties and has to buy them those tables aren't that cheap

Anyway, Kaworu stands before the body. For a second, he debates turning around and letting someone else do it. Just watch. Let someone else take responsibility.

But no, he mustn't run away.

With a trembling hand he pulls back the sheet. What does he see?]

[mgtropes]

[ Listen but you can tell they are cheaply made... it is not high quality wood... this airport should have splurged for this, how dare they.

Kaworu peels off the blanket respectfully covering Anders and... he's there! All of him is there, thankfully, as far as you can tell at a first glance. He's in this uniform, and you can tell he's quite bloody off the bat. ]

[peripheries]

[Thank god he died wearing something cvnty. So proud of you dad, you went out like an icon.

He swallows. He doesn't mind the sight of blood but he dislikes the smell. Well, suck it up and push through. Let's start with the blood... are there any obvious sources?]

[mgtropes]

[ You're right... Anders died as he lived... meowsandrist and cvnty...

Well it's pretty hard to miss that there's something most definitely off about his head, but a huge majority of the blood all over him seems to be coming from a deep wound on his neck. Which part of his body do you want to look more closely at first? ]

[peripheries]

[Well, that's an obvious place but let's start from the top... checking his hair, face, back of his head for anything that might be there besides blood.]

VI

[refractures]

[ He is checking against Vi's damage to the head with the butt of the shotgun.

Seodore is also checking if the large hole on her left side could have been blasted by this shotgun. He's familiar with the damages a shotgun can make on a body and other solid things that aren't a body if that helps... ]

[mgtropes]

[the damage to her face does look like it could have been made with the butt of the shotgun.

if seo is familiar with what injuries a shotgun might make, he can tell that it is possible an injury like the one in vi's side could have been made by a shotgun fired at relatively close range.]

[refractures]

[ Yikes.

But also he keeps overhearing, he'll check the hole in her left hand too for possible shotgun damage, though he's doubtful. ]

[mgtropes]

[this one is harder to say. a shotgun shot directly to someone's hand would probably have done a lot more damage than this, but it does look similar to a shotgun injury.]

[refractures]

[ Check against body complete. Nyooms back to evidence for one last thing. ]

VI

[bxkautx]

[ does the pink hair found in the museum match vi's hair bychance. shade, feasibly the right length? ]

[mgtropes]

[it is the same length and highlighter pink shade as vi's hair, yes... but who knows maybe the cheese and blood dyed it...]

ANDERS

[feytality]

[ i'm sorry anders she has to check out your tramp stamp ]

[ does it seem like it could be a claire's tattoo? ]

[mgtropes]

[to copy and paste from what was given to kaworu: He has a tramp stamp that's a cute little pattern of kitty pawprints and hearts and says PURRINCESS.

maya will have to decide for herself if that seems like a claire's tattoo or not, but it is very cutesy.]

VI

[preordain]

[ do any of the pets claws match her injuries... ]

[mgtropes]

[none of them match the claw marks on vi because those are human-hand-sized and also anything with proper claws/talons would be too sharp... these aren't claw marks in the sense that something broke skin or drew blood...]

[preordain]

[ HELP

okay so they look more like, nail marks then? like she was scratched but not hard enough to break skin? ]

[mgtropes]

[they look more like scratches yea.]

[preordain]

[ do they look evenly spaced with each other or is it too hard to tell? like if he compared with his own hand, is it possible to tell that someone with his hand size could have made them or is it uncertain? ]
