week 2 trial

[mgtropes]

W2: TRIAL

29 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.

Note: 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.

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!

Good luck!

[ Your Hosts await you from behind the counters.

North has a whole pile of notebooks today, frantically scribbling notes with the air of someone trying not to seem stressed.

East is standing, watching the proceedings with tense vibes.

West is sitting behind the counter, arms crossed. Their finger occasionally taps against their arm.

South is stood slightly to the side of the counters, arms crossed over their chest.

At the counter, there are a few snacks prepared. There are some apple tarts, egg tarts, and some sliced fruit, toast and jam.

You can stop by and ask them questions about anything, any-time. Please specify 1-2 you are addressing when tagging, especially if it is in the later half of trial. ]

[sootprints]

[ everybody gets a nod in greeting.

hi north... looking at those notebooks. ]

... That isn't all for today, is it?

[mgtropes]

There's a lot to do.

[it's fine, i'm sure. giving a determined fist pump.]

But I'm sure you all know that already and are well-prepared.

[ballies]

[ north..... comes over and hands them a tea. she is like 80% bandage. ]

What the hell?

[ what the hell. ]

[mgtropes]

[they will take the tea.]

Oh, Miss Tama. I hope you're being very careful and not reopening any of those injuries. Please, rest.

[agleam]

[hands west a pastry]

I'm guessing not, but... Can you tell us anything about why there are so many?

[mgtropes]

[ takes the pastry with a nod of their head ]

Not at the moment... I would review the evidence closely.

[feytality]

[ brings everyone tea again ]


[ but addresses south and west this time to change it up ]

Hang in there, guys.

.... Um, I was wondering, if you kill more than one person in a night for incentives, can you get more than one?

[mgtropes]

[ South gives Maya a thumbs up of encouragement!

They nod though. ]

[mgtropes]

[ gestures to where south nodded ]

It is possible.

[peakfan]

[ EGG TARTS?????? marry me ]

I'm going to assume this isn't according to plan.

[mgtropes]

In what sense?

[rosebleed]

[oh no sweet north??

Slides them a tea.]

You'll cramp your hand if you don't take a break now and then.

[mgtropes]

[takes a second tea.]

Miss Rosamund, thank you. You're too kind, but we all ought to work hard today, right?

[toyska]

[Nods at all of them... gives West and East a little wave]

Busy day ahead, huh?

[selfimmolation]

[ also like 80% bandages but he's just here for the tarts. waving at them in greeting with one hand ]

Gonna be a long day, huh.

[ whoever is fine he has nothing of use to say or ask ]

[sixam]

[ waves for all of them... but also hands north a cup of tea. ]

You ever think about setting up your phone to record audio so you can transcribe later?

[ north, your handsies. ]

[frotag]

[ brings some shrimp fried rice and a couple beers (all in to-go containers) over to south. ]

For later?

[drymonster]

[ here for the south high five but it gets more subtle every week because every week there are more bodies and it feels like it's in poorer taste ]

Is there, like... a limit to how many killers there can be in one week...?

[peripheries]

[Looks at North, is holding Lady, he is covered in bandages and cooling fever patches.]

Was this supposed to happen? Even two last week was difficult. Now four?

[obdure]

[ He has a black coffee for himself as usual and is here for a polite greeting. ]

Good morning.

[nascens]

[He also has nothing useful to say or add but he'll nod their collective way before going to sit today.]

[toxicate]

[ this is really just for consistency bc he's not approaching any of them directly this morning. there's coffee in his hand. everyone gets a nod, though, if any of them want to talk. ]

[feytality]

[ toddles over to north this time ]

If someone is awake on Thursday, does that mean they were already chosen as a victim? There's no way someone could be awake on their own and just happen to walk across a crime scene?

[squirt]

[ he'll ask east if it's easier to pick somebody but anyone is fine. nods in greeting. ]

Do you prefer that we ask you for the defibrillator log records, or go check them?
