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!

The shotgun from the murder museum is most likely from Claire's. I haven't seen an exact design like it, but it's very similarly themed to the... other weapons that I happened to see in the back room of Claire's.

It's very likely that the shotgun was fired. How many times, I'm not sure. There are no magazines inside the shotgun either.

[ No accidental midtrialing. ]

It's also possible that Vi's head damage was from the butt of the shotgun. There's blood on that part specifically, which aligns with Hulkenburg's analysis of blunt damage. Let's see... The large missing left side of her body could have been caused by the shotgun at extremely close range. I also checked the left hand that many people were wondering. It... looks similar to a shotgun injury, but I personally think it would have blown her hand off instead of it making a hole in her hand like that.

There were also spots of cheese on the shotgun, but I don't think that's too important...

[ thus ends shotgun analysis by seodore "just a guy" riddle

gooby he's going back to smoke now ]

[ is it the same cigarette or is he pulling out a new one ]

Looks like we can't actually shoot something to see what the shrapnel looks like. Thanks Seo!

[ He pulled out a new one after eating those five apples. ]

I don't trust most people here to safely handle a shotgun, actually.

[ He really needs to find another to de-stress. ]

Are they that hard to use?

[ nah ]

Anyone can learn, but the point is that you have to learn. A person who just shoots a shotgun willy nilly without knowing what they're doing will suffer from its recoil. Wouldn't it be funny if we just had to look for a dislocated shoulder to find a culprit?

'Twould be the easiest thing in this situation, given the injuries of both of our companions. [ near-muttered. ] Would you, or anyone more familiar with guns, be able to check the bullet that was retrieved from Anders and determine what kind it is..?

I can check what type of bullet it is and tell you which guns use the type of bullet, but that's about it. There's a lot of overlap between the guns that use a type of bullet.

Frustrating. There are not many guns in Euchronia, at least not like this, so 'tis unfamiliar. [ gunner archetype be like ] But at least we will have things we might be able to look for - an injury from mishandling a weapon, or even a mark for these ridiculous things.

[ looks over at yoru checking the bullets and thinks back to her profile

laughs a little with a hint of tiredness ]

Right, but she can probably handle it much better than I can anyway. We should probably wait for her results. If I had my knowledge because of...

[ ... ]

Never mind. She's the perfect candidate to analyze them.
