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.
...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!

i will give you that while he's folding up the jacket, there's some resistance in the left pocket this time...
and there's no other wounds on her head! her face is untouched. once again queen shit. however the back of her head and neck are extremely bloody even so... and at the top of her head, his hands will graze....
shredded cheese... bits of lettuce..... white....... stufff................ ]
no subject
uhhh resistance in the left pocket wtf he'll briefly unfold to remove what's in there what's up so i can report it...
i'm glad they left her beautiful face alone and he is too. ok so no wounds on head at all, just a bunch of blood.
he just kind of Makes A Face at the shredded cheese and lettuce? is there a lot or is it like salt bae sprinkled on like she's a taco? is it just on the top of her head? what is this White Stuff... is it powdery, shredded also, onions for the taco salad on her head? ]
no subject
though of note is that on her face, where there was previously scarring marks, it's now clear! not even a hint of them. how'd that happen
it's not like her head is covered in cheese and lettuce, but more that it got caught in her hair. as for the white stuff it is not powdery or shredded but instead.... creamy........ ]
no subject
whoa... noted... yoru your scars.
sour cream...? :( please say sour cream please say sour cream he is not tasting it but like can he sniff... it... i'm sorry this is so gross... ]
no subject
yea it's sour cream ]
no subject
Great...
[ muttered as he will now reglove his hands with a fresh pair and start in on the bloody area of her chest now since you mentioned blood on her chest earlier. is that blood you're referring to the bit that reaches the top of her crop top? or is there blood in the middle of her crop top... is there any blood seeping down the bottom of it? does she have any bruises or wounds on her exposed slivery of Tummy from the picture i'm seeing of her clothes? ]
no subject
there are no other injuries or bruises on her upper body. ]
no subject
examining her lower body from the front now - anything of note on her waist/hips/legs besides the fact that she's a beautiful queen? any wounds or slashes? any blood on her knees/shins/shoes? anything on her shoes or under them in the treads at all? if he palpates gently along the area of her legs, anything broken or out of place?
i'll kick myself if i don't look. ]
no subject
it's below the knee, and in more of a diagonal (starting at the top from the right, then slashing downward to the left). the blood drips downward into her sock and shoe, as well as back onto her calf. there's just a bit of blood on the heel of her shoe, toward the rim of it. nothing on the sole itself. ]
no subject
below the knee, where does the slash stop in its diagonal trail on her leggie? is it a deep cut or shallow cut if he examines it with the light on his phone again. nothing on the left leg if he checks? ]
no subject
the cut is deeper at the top and becomes more shallow at the bottom. it's along the length of her shin, so it stops a bit above her ankle
nothing on the left leg! ]
no subject
using the sheet and rolling it up carefully in such a way he can kind of pillow her skull and protect her neck wound from distorting, he will roll her onto her less bloody side (the right, not the left) and check out her shoulders where there was a lot of blood. are there any wounds here on her back or anything if he works his way down. if he pulls up the back of her shirt can he see any wounds or anything back there? or bruises? ]
no subject
her shoulders are uninjured! the rest of her upper torso is also uninjured. but there was definitely a lot of blood there ]
no subject
any other crimes on the backs of her leggies? thighs? calves? or nein?
if he checks her neck wound again for the smears around it, could it be feasible that those smears belong to fingers in the way the blood might smear? like are any of the smears perhaps... finger width if he compares her less-bloody fingies to it at all? ]
no subject
but yes, the smears on her throat would line up with that! on her less-bloody fingies, it's not a very good match though because it doesn't line up with way the blood is aligned on her fingers. ]
no subject
blood on the backs of both calves? is it sprayed or dripped or splashed...? dotted?
going to carefully unlace her boots and check her socks too while we're in leg country. any blood that isn't what dribbled inside from her right leggy cut? ]
no subject
and yes there's blood on the back of both legs, but it's not in any particular pattern. there's more blood on the back of her right leg than the left one.
no additional blood on her socks or boots ]
no subject
there's no way he's taking off her clothes beyond the jacket rn so he will just carefully roll her back over onto her back and carefully lay the sheet over her again. he will try to pick out the rest of the stupid lettuce and cheese bits from her hair as he can and set them to the side like you don't deserve that, girl, and wipe a little of the sour cream out. ]
Thanks for visiting yesterday... [ a small frown ] I enjoyed talking with you.
[ goes to do his lil report. ]
no subject
goodbye! ]
