week 2 trial

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!

[squirt]

Yes. There's reports of a cephalopod attack that broke a diver's skull with its beak.

[ the ocean is so fun ]

[drymonster]

[ THINGS HE WAS HAPPIER NOT KNOWING ABOUT SQUID...... ]

[squirt]

[ they are delicious but at what cost ]

[selfimmolation]

[ their shared common interest... ]

Yeah, I've heard of that. How big do your squids get?

[squirt]

[ the wonders of the aquarium (that killed several people probably) ]

There are some massive ones, but they stay really deep underwater. The ones that are dangerous to people are smaller, but their beaks are small, or venomous. Some of them even change color... [ wow...... four people are dead ]

[selfimmolation]

[ four people are dead and they shouldn't talk about this ]

See, we've got big ones deep in the ocean too, but some of 'em come up sometimes. Though maybe those are just Sea Kings...

[ a beat as he remembers this is a fuckin murder trial ]

Let's compare more later.

[squirt]

[ sighs like he should've gone on aquarium invest... ]

...Right. Not the time.

[nascens]

[This is kind of funny to him. OH OCEAN.]

[squirt]

[ TOO MANY OF YOU FIND THIS FUNNY ]

...Anyway, I could see why the aquarium is dangerous.

[nascens]

[LISTEN IT'S KINDA FUNNY!!!!! He's still grouchy and pissy but hearing about divers getting their noggins cracked like peanuts cheers him up a little.]

It's certainly proven to be this week, at least.

[bxkautx]

[ laughs. ]

[squirt]

[ TOO MANY OF YOU FIND THIS FUNNY X 2 ]

Watch out around cephalopods.

[bxkautx]

I'll keep on my toes.

[lifeless]

[she wants to eat spicy webfoot octopus....]

[ballies]

Why do you keep telling me horrible things about the ocean?

[selfimmolation]

[ but they're cool ocean facts tama..... ]

[ballies]

[ she could've lived forever without knowing how starfish walk ]

[bxkautx]

They're fun facts.

[ballies]

[ nyeh ]

They're interesting, but they're all kinda...

[squirt]

I have to remind people that the ocean is more than a tool for murder.

[ it is full of its own homegrown terrors and does not need the help of mankind ]

[ballies]

Someone didn't listen...

[ me looking at aquarium investigation like


a ]

[rosebleed]

[internally flashing back to the terrible dogfish.]

The ocean is...so interesting...

[squirt]

[ very sincerely, ]

It is.

[ even pygocentrus scoobidoobus... ]

[rosebleed]

[i have a new favourite fish]

Is that why you learned to swim so fast? To escape the cephalopods?

[obdure]

The ocean is full of wonder and danger.
