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!

[ballies]

[ comes to lean on the counter somewhere near north and south. ]

Two, then.

I'm guessing same rules as usual, no extensions or anything like that?

[mgtropes]

Good morning, Miss Tama.

[hands her a muffin.]

I'm afraid not. But I think if all of you work hard at it, the additional victim should not prevent you from solving it in time.

[ballies]

[ takes the muffin and splits it to offer half back to north. ]

I'll remember this when we have ten minutes to go and we're spiralling. [ ... ] Although, we're all used to this by now. Maybe that'll count for something.

[mgtropes]

[takes half.]

I think it counts for a lot. I have faith in all of you. Even some last minute spiraling is not always a bad thing. Sometimes it's when you think it's all lost that inspiration strikes!

[ballies]

Panicking really gets the brain cells firing. Apparently.

[ she'll chomp a lil muffin. as a treat. ]

I guess I should say "wish us luck", just in case.

[mgtropes]

You joke, but I find that to be the case most of the time!

[some panic in a trial is just the juice of inspiration.]

I do wish you luck. Though I hope you won't need it.

[ballies]

Here's to our brains kicking into overdrive then.

[ cheers' the muffin ]

[mgtropes]

Please make sure you eat your fill. You can't do your best thinking on an empty stomach, after all.

[ballies]

Aye, aye, North. I promise not to pass out from starvation at the murder trial.

[mgtropes]

I will hold you to it, and no mistake!

[clenching their fists in front of them.]

So don't think of testing me.

[ballies]

I wouldn't dream of it.

[ actually, give paw? she's gonna check their hands. ]

[mgtropes]

[give paw! north's hands are covered in blood.]

[mgtropes]

[no they aren't. but the manicure is exactly as nice as it was when tama last saw it.]

[ballies]

[ i, becks, would've ignored this. i would've kept this to myself and let them get away with literal murder as an npc. i would've.


but yay! ]

Glad they're still looking good.

[mgtropes]

[ They stop stretching to nod at Tama. No corrections to make off of what she said. ]

[ballies]

[ sighs and properly flops out on the counter. woe. ]

[mgtropes]

[ Pats her upper back even though it's not affection week anymore. There there. Frittata? ]

[ballies]

[ i thought you were calling her a frittata and was like sure??? i guess??? she will accept some frittata. ]

Thanks.

[mgtropes]

[ Hands her a drink to go along with it too. Go get 'em today, killer (not literal)! ]

[ballies]

[ no, no. vote for tama.


she'll tip the drink in a little salute. ]

Look at me, all ready to solve crime and eat frittata.

[mgtropes]

can't go copping on an empty stomach!

[ballies]

Eating's great and all, but sometimes it's so damn inconvenient.

[mgtropes]

[ ?!! ]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN INCONVENIENT

[ballies]

Why are you text yelling at me??

[mgtropes]

[ It's worse, because they're writing on a notepad for trial. ]

FOOD IS SO GOOD
