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!

Okay, and it can't, like, get the wrong name, somehow? I just want to make sure before we miss something.

If it logs a name, it will be the name of the person it's used on.

It would be kind of weird if there is only one instance of that happening.

It's only been a couple of weeks, and only three murders. And there's not exactly a lot of reason to try outside of murders.

I believe you guys, alright? I was just asking about a possibility.

No, it's good to ask. If anything, it might be a way for the killer to try to throw us off the trail, so we should still keep the usage in mind.

Right, especially if it can be used on other people... though I don't know why you would, if you're trying to kill them.

Interrogation, sadism, revenge...?

[ makes a face. ]

At least two of those probably don't apply here.

Oh, probably not. I'm just saying, there are reasons!

What if you use it on someone else? I mean, weird thing to do to someone you're killing, but...

It would be the person it's being used on. Kate said they tried it where Artemy was the one who operated it on her, but it still logged her name.

So that's... a possibility. Less likely than her just using it herself, but. A possibility nonetheless.

Mmhm. There's the chance someone stuck her in it to try to hide her injuries from us, so it might be worse than what we can see.

Does it heal injuries on a dead body? Otherwise they'd have to do it before she died, and then it would probably just stabilize her.

We can ask.

Or we can go and put a body in there and find out. Whichever one.

I'll just ask... [ wanders off. ]

You'd think they wouldn't consent to logging her name in that case though, right? If they're trying to cover up her injuries, showing us she had injuries healed isn't exactly a genius move.

I wonder what the machine does if the person isn't able to consent? Like if they're passed out?

That's a good question...

preordain - 2025-06-14 19:13 (UTC) - Expand

It wouldn't matter if we knew or not, as long as the incriminating injuries are gone.

Although it sounds like they wouldn't be, it's not fast enough to heal that well.

drymonster - 2025-06-14 19:20 (UTC) - Expand

It doesn't sound like that's possible, though. And I suppose we don't have a count of unlogged uses? Just the logged ones.

It was just a thought.

[ jeez. ]

Probably no unlogged uses, otherwise there's no point in them being unlogged.

[gives him a friendly little elbow bump]

Leave no stone unturned. It's always good to ask.

[ gives her a small smile. ]

That was the idea - better to know than not. So that means she might've wanted to heal up before facing whoever came for her.

How long does that thing take, anyway?

I'm not sure, but it's not immediate, that's for certain.
