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]

Do you know how to punch someone, Roxana?

[disingenuous]

I'll leave you to your own conclusions.

[ballies]

...


I think you'd be very good at getting someone to throw a punch for you, and honestly? Good for you.

[disingenuous]

I won't deny that one. I'd be glad for anyone who would punch for me.

[ballies]

Maybe that's the solution. Get someone to punch for me.

[ LOOKS AT ACE. ]

[selfimmolation]

How'm I supposed to do that when you're off getting kidnapped without me?

[ THE THING IS HE WOULD ]

[ballies]

I'll text you.

[ yeah, she figured. ]

[selfimmolation]

Like that'd help! Learn to fight for yourself too!

[ THAT'S NOT VERY FEMINIST OF YOU ]

[ballies]

[ booooo ]

Punching's your thing though!

[selfimmolation]

And when I teach you, it can be both our things.

[ballies]

[ mrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. ]

Fiiiine, but you can't make fun of me for having a weak right hook or something like that.

[selfimmolation]

Well, yeah, obviously it'll be weak, you've got noodle arms and you've never fought before. We can work on that.

[disingenuous]

You'll have to keep that someone with you always.

[ballies]

Oooooor spam text them until they show up.

[disingenuous]

You can't always reach for your phone.

[ballies]

It is usually pretty close by...

[disingenuous]

[ she reaches over and grabs both her hands. ]

And then?

[ballies]

I guess I'll be a damsel in distress for a while. And kick them in the groin.

[feytality]

I'd throw a punch for you, Ms. Roxana!

[ punches the air to demonstrate ]

[disingenuous]

You need a little more force and determination.

[feytality]

I've got plenty of both! Especially determination! [ punches the air harder to demonstrate again. fuck you air. take that ]

[disingenuous]

More skill, especially.

[feytality]

Lots of that, too!

[ at least she's confident ]

[disingenuous]

I don't see it yet.

[feytality]

You gotta look harder, Ms. Roxana. With your eyes.
