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]

... That's so many of you, it wasn't too cramped?

[toxicate]

It was.

[ballies]

[ yikes. ]

Why'd you all pile in there anyway?

[toxicate]

I asked this exact question while we were there.

[ballies]

And yet you showed up there anyway.... [ pats his arm. ]

[toxicate]

[ SIGHS. ]

Everyone was too stubborn to leave, I suppose.

[ballies]

Including you! [ hee. ]

[toxicate]

I was with people I like seeing.

[ballies]

Then there you go. Worth it despite the cramped space.

[toxicate]

Perhaps if none of us had been killed.

[ballies]

[ don't bring the tone down. ]

There's that. With that many people in one place, the statistics weren't great.

[teenrebellion]

[ wow okay so that's how it is. ]

[toxicate]

[ hey you abandoned us for a rival lounge you don't get to be sassy ]

[honourous]

'Twas before Strohl activated the simulation for a more open space. But the simulation that was ending when we awoke yesterday morning was not the one that was running before we fell unconscious.

[ballies]

[ oh. ]

I haven't really been in there, but if you need to manually override the previous simulation to start another one...

[ hm. ] Anders' ticket mentioned the Simulation Room, didn't it?

[honourous]

It did, so I have to wonder whether 'twas him or his attacker that changed the simulation on us. He would also likely have had to return there.

[ with kaworu there, along with everyone else, she doesn't think he would stand his ground there initially??? ]

[ballies]

None of you were injured or anything, were you? No weird bruises or marks? If there was a scuffle there, then you might have signs of getting caught in the crossfire.

[ ... ]

Otherwise, it's hard to say. I'm guessing it doesn't log when changes were made...? That might be something to check.

[honourous]

Nothing that I took note of, aside from what Wiš'adel and Miss Kate were already suffering from as of their return. Which is interesting, considering without a simulation on we were very packed together.

[ some of them really should have left, but were too stubborn. ]

'Tis a good thought, Miss Tama. I've not any experience with such things, save for from this week, so 'twould be smart to check when we send a group there.

[ballies]

[ she looks very thoughtful. ]

Interesting... so. There might not have been a fight there, exactly. If you were that packed in you'd expect someone to have been stepped on by accident.

[ she nods. ]

Anyone with a bit of computer knowledge can check a screen and should be able to pull up an access log, if there is one. Keep in mind you might need them in that room.
