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!

A missing portion of the body with no bite marks might point to a large weapon, machinery, or magic. Magic is generally suppressed here, and a large weapon difficult to conceal, so maybe a machine...?

[ hm ]

Would that metal crocodile in the golf course leave bite marks?

[sarkazm]

I'm thinking machinery is the closest too-- Hulkenberg says it's torn, not really cut, so weaponry's less likely.

Maybe if it wasn't something like the mechacroc teeth directly, but if something like that was embedded into her and she were pulled off it...

[toxicate]

The puzzle clues seemed to point there, so it would be worth looking in to. A clamping motion could be caused by a number of things, however.

[sarkazm]

Yeah. Like, it's not a bad thought, but let's not lock in on thinking we know exactly what did it either.

[honourous]

[ listens to him and weesh... ]

I'm unsure as to whether the mechanical beast would leave bite marks or not. 'Tis a good thought to check it, if we will already be heading there for investigation before too long.

[toxicate]

It might, as its jaws are still jaw-shaped. Seems it'll get checked regardless, but there are plenty of other possibilities.

[honourous]

The gauntlets have been brought up as a possibility, and they would have enough strength, to be sure... but you would have to be able to get them off of her in the first place.

[bxkautx]

I'm not saying we shouldn't check or anything, but the crocodile is in the water. Was her body wet at all?

[toxicate]

It rises from the water long enough to get stuck in it and torn away, though that is a good point.

[bxkautx]

I just think it'd be hard to escape it without touching the water. Just talking out loud, though.

[toxicate]

It's not going to make you seem more nonchalant by pretending you're not trying to help, you know.

[bxkautx]

But I am trying to help...?

[toxicate]

So what's with the deflection? You can own that fact. No one's going to tell you off for giving your opinion, especially one that's useful.

[bxkautx]

I guess.

[ what if it was STUPID and she's WRONG and everyone LAUGHS at her!! ]
