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!

[sixam]

We were in our lounge. Uh. Me, Kazuki, Alex, Roxana, Tama, Mizuki, Ace and Luke.

[teenrebellion]

[ nodding but also raising his eyebrows at the sim room group? y'all? why are there so many? ]

[sixam]

[ leans on him easily and nods along. ]

Yeah, I kinda had the same thought when I heard yesterday.

[teenrebellion]

Not like we haven't spent Thursdays with big groups before, but that just sounds miserable.

[ aside from the murder... vr... nyeh. ]

[sixam]

Yeah, but I'm gonna guess that when we were with big groups it was in a place bigger than a single room.

[teenrebellion]

The park and Santa's workshop. We weren't so limited there, no.

[ballies]

[ nods ]

[sixam]

[ gently squeezes her shoulder for moral support. ]

Even if we don't do this next week, I still think we should at least tell each other where we're going.

[ballies]

[ uses him as a leaning post. ]

It's not a bad idea. And if someone ended up alone for some reason-- [ LOOKS AT CHILDE ]-- and the worst happened, we'd be able to say where they told us they'd be.

[sixam]

[ allows this and also looking at childe. ]

Yeah. An alibi's better than nothing, and it gives us an idea just in case something happens overnight and they're alone.

[ i.e. if someone dies and nobody knows where they are. ]

[ballies]

We love information...

[ childe just being stared at like jiiiiiiiiiii ]

I'm alright with it. We did say we were thinking of a whiteboard.

[bxkautx]

[ yeah. ]

[sixam]

[ yeah. he's just kind of bumping his shoulder into hers but also offers her his coffee? ]

[bxkautx]

[ you mean her coffee? thank you that's so nice of you to get a coffee just for her. ]

[sixam]

[ HEY. ]

... you're welcome. [ honestly he'd be more annoyed if he couldn't go get his own. ]

[psynchroneyes]

Yup. Way more cozy and less crowded.

[ she's also going wtf at the sim room party ]

[sixam]

Better than our original idea of going out. [ he grins a little. ] Definitely more comfortable, at least.

[psynchroneyes]

Seriously. I'd be down with hanging in the lounges every week, if I gotta be real.

[sixam]

Unless something better opens up. I can't say I'm not curious what else the airport might give us in the next few weeks.

[disingenuous]

[ she waves a hand in acknowledgement, so glad she wasn't in the simulation room. ]

[sixam]

[ offers her a pastry? ]

[disingenuous]

[ she takes it with a small smile. ]

Ever the server.

[sixam]

What can I say? I like taking care of my own. Besides, we've got another long nine hours ahead of us.

[frotag]

Sorry, I got invited out, heh...

[sixam]

What're you apologizing for? I'm not gonna fault somebody for going out with friends or whatever.
