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!

[ who would do this! ]

... I don't know yet. It'd depend if we had any other leads for a second culprit, if the person they were intending to kill posed a threat to the rest of us, and the fallout we might face from it. The goal is to not lose anybody else who's innocent here.

[ and the idea of last-minute-panic voting stresses him out. ]

[mgtropes]

[ well. ]

If that is your goal, then I wish you luck in gathering everyone into a consensus.

[sixam]

[ this is also from a guy who is well aware that is a tall order, so. ]

Thanks, we're gonna need it. Any sage words of advice for juggling two cases today?

[mgtropes]

[ everyone is impossible and it is fine. good luck. west looks over the room and then glances back ]

Don't let your emotions cloud your judgment. Pursue the truth if you are so committed to it.

And don't wait for a conveniently timed confession.

[sixam]

[ good luck to us. this is all stuff he used to tell other people, too, so it makes sense. ]

I would never wait for a confession, at least. [ wry. ] But makes sense. Pursuing the truth might not be the problem here. It's accepting it some people might have issues with.

[mgtropes]

In cases of possible possession or otherwise, is there any answer that people would find acceptable when tensions run so high?

[ rhetorical... they're sure jonas knows the answer ]

[sixam]

[ the fact that he just smiles a little is probably indicative of what he thinks the answer is, yeah. ]

... you busy tonight? I'd like to drop by if you've got time.

[mgtropes]

[ wryly amused ]

I can always make time. See you then. Let us know if you need anything else.

[sixam]

Thanks, West.

[ abandons you for the trial gooby. ]
