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!

No horns I've seen on a person before.
But if they were possessed, then perhaps taking on traits of something?
drymonster: (replicating what?)

[personal profile] drymonster 2025-06-14 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
could be metaphorical horns too ig
like someone associated with demons

[personal profile] halians 2025-06-14 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ just says this out loud he's voice to text anyway ]

Hold on - didn't we have another piece of evidence with someone wearing a pointed hat? The puzzle?

...Could it be that person was out of their head?
peakfan: (26)

[personal profile] peakfan 2025-06-14 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Do we even have a method to check for potential possession?
halians: (26)

[personal profile] halians 2025-06-14 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure as hell didn't last week. And we've not one to check on a corpse, either.

[ which he looks like he hates saying ]
peakfan: (meltesh28_6)

[personal profile] peakfan 2025-06-14 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Which certainly makes this an easy question to answer.

[ mutters something incredibly quietly about smacking talismans ]
halians: (81)

[personal profile] halians 2025-06-15 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
Just have to rely on the evidence that we have, in the end.

[ frowning at the drawing again... reaches up and touches one of his horns like damb ]
peakfan: (34)

[personal profile] peakfan 2025-06-15 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
May we solve this swiftly then.

[ eyeballs his horns like, congrats suspect number 5 ]

drymonster: (can it be a conventional earth weapon)

[personal profile] drymonster 2025-06-14 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
What, the wizard? That was supposed to be Anders, right?
halians: (146)

[personal profile] halians 2025-06-14 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. That... little picture for the task, that's supposed to be a devil, isn't it? If that's supposed to represent "evil" - which is rude, by the way - maybe that'd be a quick way to express someone was out of their mind.

[ folding his arms... ]
drymonster: (i'm saying... things... aren't relative)

[personal profile] drymonster 2025-06-15 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
I guess it probably could.
halians: (76)

[personal profile] halians 2025-06-15 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
...Trying to think like Vi, at least.


[ simple.......... love you vi ]

[the microaggressions happening in this conversation]

[ looks up from her phone where she was also voice to text. ]

... could it be true, then, that one of them might have attacked the other? Perhaps Anders pursued Vi, but was caught afterwards by his own assailant?
halians: (2)

[personal profile] halians 2025-06-15 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ he looks deeply unhappy about this actually, mouth squiggling into a complicated line. ]

If that's the case, then - we've no way of confirming it, I imagine, save for the evidence at hand.

[personal profile] honourous 2025-06-15 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
I do see where you get the thought, if the image is meant to be a tall hat like the wizard puzzle and horns are meant to signify evil. [ which, rude. racist. but strohl already said it aloud. ] Or, perhaps...

If the person was possessed and inflicted with something akin to Scawwy's troubles, they could have physically had such horns.
sootprints: (pic#17204452)

[personal profile] sootprints 2025-06-15 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ uncomfortably... ]

Yes, I suppose that did happen... In one case, a culprit hid such horns under a hat worn at trial.
drymonster: (i thought "this guy hasn't got a chance")

if its not literal do you think it mite be a crown too?
drymonster: (and you want me to say this. out loud.)

[personal profile] drymonster 2025-06-15 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
kind of looks like it started as a crown and horns got drawn over it
sarkazm: (3 - DwxyHsN)

[personal profile] sarkazm 2025-06-15 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
think it mite not be emfasis but the pic getting tamperd with?
halians: (40)

[personal profile] halians 2025-06-15 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
...As if it were added after? It does look different than the original. Heavier. No?
sarkazm: (13 - 91u6Wra)

[personal profile] sarkazm 2025-06-15 12:09 am (UTC)(link)

drymonster: ('cause... you weren't alive back then)

[personal profile] drymonster 2025-06-15 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
yeah that could be
though you'd think if it was the killer they would have just wiped away the whole thing if the crown pointed to them, right?
