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!

[frotag]

It's a country. So it, Australia, and France all line up... but what's the fourth?

[selfimmolation]

... Hole?

[ no. ]

[riderculous]

A hole is a place.

[selfimmolation]

That's what I thought, but it didn't work...

[frotag]

That was my logic, too... man.

[selfimmolation]

... Maybe we just leave this one to the others.

[ WHO ARE SOLVING IT NOW... he's just copying off their homework he misses when he could read over anders' shoulder rip king ]

[frotag]

Yeah... I like action games more than puzzle games, anyway.

[selfimmolation]

There's action games?

[ in theory they had an arcade in heroes in practice he did not go in there a lot so he can be surprised by this ]

[frotag]

Yeah. They're the best kind, in my opinion, heh. Nothing's more exciting than a good ol' beat-'em-up or RPG!

[selfimmolation]

[

he got half of that tell him more about beat-'em-ups ]

[frotag]

[ yeah thats about what he expected ]

Maybe after this, I could show you some. Deal?

[selfimmolation]

Sure, why not?

[ he would be more cheerful about this prospect but you know murder trial etc etc ]

[frotag]

[ yeah ichiban would be using way more exclamation marks at the idea of getting to introduce someone to the world of video games if it wasn't for the circumstances. ]

Cool. We'll figure things out later, then.

[selfimmolation]

Yeah. We've got worse things to figure out first.

[ballies]

These clues?

[frotag]

Huh?

[ LIKE IT WORKED, BUT, BWUH? ]

[ballies]

I guess.... you could say you "visit" the clues. Like, you visit them to look a them and solve them. I have heard it before.

[frotag]

...oh, I think I get it now. [ only after hearing everyone else's theorycrafting, but look, ] The other categories are hints for the places we should visit.

[ballies]

Seems like it. So there's.... oh, congratulations? Halloween supplies sound like first aid equipment and the last one...

[selfimmolation]

... Oooooooh.

[ he gets it now. ]

[ballies]

[ atta boy. ]

It's something to start with, at least.

[selfimmolation]

[ listening to the other conversations ]

Least we've got an idea where else to look at now.

[ballies]

[ looking at the last one like ohhhhhhhhhhh



golf course.






well. ]

We're gonna have to hustle to get them all searched, but-- it's doable.

[selfimmolation]

We can send a couple of teams out at the same time, at least.

[ once bodies are done, ]

[ballies]

[ looks at the corpses touchers and nods. ]

We should get some stuff to look into soon anyway, from the autopsies and the group that's already gone out. Better this than us struggling with no clue where to look.
