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!

[sixam]

[ sorry... no... ]

[halians]

Are you serious?

[sixam]

I've been complying with all of the other checks, Strohl. I would prefer not to with this one unless it's completely necessary.

[halians]

How much more necessary does "the killer's likely got a sparkly tattoo or a piercing or a mark that will give concrete evidence as to whether someone's even in a pool of suspects" have to be?

[sixam]

If there was other evidence pointing to me, for one. As I've said, I have complied to everything else, including Simba's claws, despite the fact I'm no more thrilled about this than you are.

[ a gesture to kaworu. ]

I'll allow it from him.

[peripheries]

[See. Never trust anyone.

Chucks a water bottle at Jonas.]

[sixam]

[ catches it with one hand. ]

Listen, if it's just to check my lower back, you can do that without a full strip, right?

[peripheries]

[I was gonna say it probably falls short because he sucks. And that sucks because it's a cool move all things considered.]

We don't know if it's always on the lower back. Do you?

[sixam]

I don't, no. But I would prefer not to strip more than I have to.

[peripheries]

...I hate it too. I hate it every time. But this time it actually makes sense to ask.

Please.

[sixam]

[ normally he would continue to argue about this, but considering who's involved and who is asking, there's a sigh. ]

Behind a screen, your eyes only. [ he means of the people going around checking like strohl and maya. ]

[feytality]

The tattoos aren't just there.... what's wrong with just going down to your undies?

[sixam]

Medical condition. I would rather not strip just for everybody or anybody or more than necessary.

[feytality]

I get it... but I think in this case, the tattoo is pretty decisive, you know? So if there's someone you trust to look, even just a quick look would be really helpful.

[sixam]

It's a tattoo or piercing, isn't it? [ he doesn't disagree with her, he's just clarifying. ]

[teenrebellion]

[ just gonna come and loop their arms together for a bit before they run off to investigate. all these hecklers, man. ]

[sixam]

[ allows this... ]

... [ there's a sigh though. ] I'm not going to tell either of you to do this, but considering the circumstances...

[ who the victims are. but it's obvious he's uneasy about it, too. ]

Then again. [ he's just looking at kaworu for a moment. ] Give me five minutes and we'll go.

[teenrebellion]

I'm not doing it. [ he stands by that. ] But I said I'd help you if you need to, and I will.

[sixam]

Just said I'm not making you. [ nudging him a little. ] And I know. I think... I need to let Kaworu do it. I'll explain later, but I do kinda still hate this.

[teenrebellion]

...Alright. If you're sure about that. But I'll be here.

[siffrin]

[ A gentle side bump when there's a moment. A quiet check-in. Doing okay? ]

[sixam]

[ pats them on the head. ]

We're good. [ "we're good?" ]

[siffrin]

[ Their fluffy noggin. A huff, they should be patting him on the head BUT HE'S TOO HECKEN TALL. It's fine, they just quirk a smile. ]

Yeah. [ We're good. ]

[sixam]

[ SORRY HE IS TALL. it's fine though, they can just hang for support for now. ]

There's a lot of moving parts still... but we still have time.

[siffrin]

[ Hanging out... thinking over things. A small nod. Except really we have one hour left. ]

..If we think one of them wasn't in their right mind and attacked the other, then that at least suggests only one killer to find. [ Unless there's two people then good luck to us. ]
