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!

[ They think about it. ]

I don't know. when we're in a space where the higher-ups aren't watching?

[toxicate]

So it's just that you're not allowed to speak?

[mgtropes]

[ They nod. ]

[toxicate]

What would the consequences be if you did?

[mgtropes]

idk maybe they'd kick me out?

I actually do kind of want to say screw this half the time but I also actually kind of don't want to risk it. like, being actual serious here. don't know what'll happen to me exactly but I do feel like maybe I've got a lot of weird stuff going on that could get screwy so

[toxicate]

You specifically, or general... screwyness? Is your voice related? This is a bizarre punishment when you're not kept from communicating in other ways.

[mgtropes]

it's because they wanted me to think before I say shit and I guess I do think about it a little bit more if I have to stop and write it out every single time

[toxicate]

Oh. This is the same reasoning as to why I'm not supposed to apologise in person anymore and I have to get my apology letters vetoed.

[mgtropes]

[ Help? ]

wow that's rough now I want to know what your apologies sound like

[toxicate]

Kazuki told me off for trying already. Sometimes it works, but it's not my fault for being taught wrong.

[ anyway ]

I still think you're all a bit useless, but your limitations aren't your fault either.

[mgtropes]

[ Gestures to the crowd mingling and talking amongst themselves while they wait for reports to start filing in. ]

most of the work is done by you guys after all

we're here to try to help with specific points or provide stuff you might need as the day goes on

[toxicate]

[ shuffles back here after some time...... ]

Since you're offering items, may we have a privacy screen for the strip check? One every week would be a good idea.

[mgtropes]

[ They gesture and pull out something that looks like a curtain you'd find from the First Aid Center! But they also hand him a note with it. ]

I don't think you guys will ALWAYS need one, we'll give one if we think you guys do

otherwise there might be a lot of time spent looking for nothing

[toxicate]

[ nods and accepts it. ]

That is helpful information, actually.
