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!

[ trying not to grin at the name. ]

Nice job, Maya. So this means one of two things. Either the fight started and Vi tried to heal in between to get a fighting chance, or... it was easier to write her name. Not like these things check IDs, right?

[sootprints]

It seems that it specifically logs the name of the person it's used on. When Artemy used it on me, it ended up logging my name, even though he retrieved it.

[sixam]

Oh, cool. Thanks, Kate, that's really good information to have. So then it's just determining when in the night Vi tried to use it.

[siffrin]

[ Looking at nearby discussions... ]

Using it once she realized she was awake I think would be a good opportunity. If there's nothing stopping it from being used, if I still had some leftover injuries to tend to I would have done the same if I realized the situation.

[sixam]

She would've had to go from Terminal 1 back to Terminal 0 to use it and then returned to Terminal 1 at some point, wouldn't she? So she'd have to book it once she was up.

[siffrin]

[ Pathing never makes sense in the word of murder. Siffrin does not think this, but looks to consider it. ]

It could be the adrenaline of being in the situation... or done in the middle of an encounter but, wouldn't that be a bit too obvious? [ On where she was going. But.. ] Maybe the state of that room will be able to tell us for sure.

[sixam]

Yeah. We can speculate all we want, we're not gonna know until we take a look and see how much was disturbed and check most closely. Might give us an idea of a path in and out, too, if she was bleeding or anything.

[siffrin]

Something to work with once we check it out.

[ Gentle arm pat. Thank you for your hard work. ]

[feytality]

[ yayyyy she got praised ]

[ after kate confirms it's not possible: ]

I checked with East, too, and it's not possible to fake the name. So it was Vi who got healed after all.

[sixam]

Makes sense. I think I'd want to heal up, too, before potentially fighting for my life.

[feytality]

And she was already so hurt...

[sixam]

Exactly. That's what makes this whole thing a bigger mess.

[ going after someone already injured... ]

[riderculous]

If she was still pretty messed up, she may have wanted to heal up before the fight.

[sixam]

I would think so, yeah. I'd do the same thing if I was in her situation.
