week 1 trial

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!

first aid room

[mgtropes]

[to the first aid room they go... description:

The first aid center is a small room with a sink, cabinets full of bandages, basic medicines, and other simple medical supplies. You won’t find anything too crazy here. A connected room in the back has rows of five beds for anyone to use while they await treatment, or just to take a nap. Curtains separate the various beds, and can be drawn for privacy if desired.
On the wall is a device that looks like a defibrillator. If you use it, it will start a slow healing process that may take a matter of hours for small injuries or a matter of days for larger ones. You have to borrow the defibrillator before using it by checking it out from a keypad.

before they even go inside the room, though, there's a trail of blood leading into it.]

[lifeless]

[BLUD....

Manwol will exchange a look with Wis and then ig look at this trail first... is it like a trail of drips and drops or is it a more visible trail of blood? also any footprints in the blood at all if it's the latter...]

[sarkazm]

Oh, shit.

[wis follows after her to do the same, walking gingerly here, checking the floor and the wall-- is it impossible to enter without stepping in blood?]

[mgtropes]

[you can step in without touching the blood, it's a light trail—so more than just a few drips but it wasn't like someone bleeding profusely all over the place. no footprints in the blood.

on the wall by the defib (the wall that's by the defib i mean), wis'adel will find something sparkly embedded, along with prominent smears of blood.]

[lifeless]

[Manwol will enter the room after Wis. Does the trail lead straight to the defib wall? Or are there drips and drops scattered around the room?

She'll also go and check out the sink. Any blood or stains or mysterious objects in here?]

[sarkazm]

Hey, take a look in the back room too while I'm over here?

[wis'adel is more interested in the smears of blood and something sparkly! what are the smears like? how much blood is there? what is the sparkle?]

[mgtropes]

[the blood trail leads right to where the defib is! ... or where it should be, because it's fallen on the floor instead of hung up on the wall like usual. there is something by the defib but then manwol walks away to look at the sink... nothing in the sink.

the sparkly thing is... sparkly fragments. very informative, i know. wis'adel can go and toss them in the trash nearby if she wants but otherwise she can hold onto them to look at in trial. the blood smears look like this.]

[lifeless]

[MANWOL WHY DID YOU DO THAT (blames the chara i'm rping and not myself)]

I think I saw something by the defib. [she will let Wiš'adel know that there is something by the defib since she is in that area...... shakes

Manwol will go ahead and check the cabinets by the sink. Anything that stands out here?]

[sarkazm]

I'll look. There's-- something in blood on the wall? Is this a picture?

[she sighs and takes a picture and will text it to trial in a sec

she keeps the sparkly fragments, though, and will look for what manwol saw by the defib!]

[mgtropes]

[nothing in the cabinets!

wis'adel finds... a glove! there are cracks on the floor beneath it, like an impact mark, along with more sparkly bits.]

[lifeless]

A picture drawn in blood?

[what da hael.... Manwol will head to the connected back room with the beds. anything that stands out here? she'll pull back every curtain and check each bed,]

[sarkazm]

And one of Vi's gloves. I don't think I'm gonna be able to haul something like this right now.

[she kneels, wincing as she does, and peers at the glove. is there blood on it? are these the Same sparkly bits? can she see if anything is under the glove without totally moving it... one of her shoulders is fucking injured]

[mgtropes]

[manwol finds nothing, alas.

same sparkly bits, yes! there's some blood on it. wis'adel will probably want help if she's injured because yea it's fckin heavy. but it's not, like, weirdly unlevel with the ground if that makes sense.]

[lifeless]

I can carry it. There's nothing here in the backroom or in the cabinets at the sink.

[she'll check the ceiling of the backroom and the area where Wis is,]

[sarkazm]

I don't know about that! This thing's fucking heavy, it cracked the floor.

[i'll save further inspection bc this is inves so she just. squints at the glove.]

...hey, can we get a hand?

[meanwhile, checks the defib itself]

[mgtropes]

[yeah, manwol is. not carrying this thing by herself. but assuming wis'adel is addressing east—]

Sure.

[they will help move it so that wis'adel can check if anything is underneath, if that was the intention. there is not anything! besides the aforementioned floor cracks.]

I'll help with transporting it when you're ready to head back.

[nothing of note on the ceiling.

the defib, collapsed on the floor, is covered in blood and slightly cheesy.]

[lifeless]

[Manwol finally comes over, frowning.]

I have no idea what else to check. There was nothing on the ceiling either.

[looks at them both and this giant glove on the floor, wow.]

We should head back.

[sarkazm]

Blood and. Cheese. On the defib.

[TIRED.]

I think that should help to know, at least? But we're probably set here if you could grab this thing, East.

[mgtropes]

Sure.

[away they go back to trial.]
