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!

[

It burns on contact! Ow ow ow. ]

Nyaeeeh

[HORRIBLE. retracts and tries so valiantly to wipe it off with her pocket tissues

Is it a chemical what the fuck]

[ Now not only does your tongue tip burn, you get the disgusting all-encompassing taste of something godawful in your mouth. It's bitter! It's metallic! It kind of vaguely reminds you of rotten eggs somehow, just to make it worse! AHHHHH! ]

[MAN.

Goes to get water and swish it around and spit...somewhere. The bathroom. We have toilet access right.

Comes back to this fucking thing. Does it smell like anything she would have ever encountered as a medieval fairy tale woman who took a 2 month soujourn in space?]

[ Hmmmmmmm

Certainly unlikely to the medieval fairy tale bit at least. I don't know what all Rosamund has sniffed or put in her mouth in her space journey. ]

[respectfully not going to check all four or five trials she was present for to find out. Thank you she will assume this is future folk knowledge.]

[ I went to lick evidence at the four body trial and all I got was rank ]

[ is here to follow up on this as a modern/futuristic dweller

gives it a sniff. how deeply maroon is it? totally pigmented and opaque? ]

[ It's got a similar consistency and opacity as blood, just maroonish in colour instead.

It smells metallic, bitter, a tinge sour, perhaps reminiscent of rotten eggs and/or vinegar. ]

[ he's wearing his canon gloves but still avoiding touching it directly.

does it smell burnt, industrial? or heavily chemical? could it be hair dye? ]

[ What kind of hair dye you use that smells this bad and burns on contact, genuine question, I'm worried for you Mordy.

It doesn't smell burnt, exactly. It's more chemical-like than not. ]

[ he doesn't but sometimes you're around a lot of different types of people. also that's just every cheap box dye wym.

a disinfectant or heavy cleaning fluid, then? or - well - as a person with better knowledge of poisons than me, aaya, would he be able to tell it's familiar from a medical kit like betadine? ]

[ No, the distinctly bitter and sour smell doesn't strike you as anything medical. It does seem corrosive though. ]

[ metal polish or cleaner? paint remover? brake fluid? if he swipes some on idk the leg of one of the cheap tables with the bodies on, is there any reaction? ]

[ There's not a whole lot of it on the kerchief to be clear, but there does not seem to be a reaction when interacting with the inanimate table yes.

It doesn't seem quite like any of those. ]

[ nail polish remover...? that shouldn't burn though.

sighs dramatically and daubs the tiniest amount on his wrist to feel how it burns. ]

[ No to acetone... it smells much worse and more bitter than acetone.

Also help. Well. You get a slifhtly delayed sensation of a tingly burning. ]

[ is it pepper spray? do they sell that at claire's. god

does the colour stain his skin at all? ]

[ With the amount and level of contact/exposure time, no

But he will probably get some redness and irritation over the course of a few minutes. ]

[ so pepper spray seems. closer. but it's stronger than that?

honestly i am out of guesses this might be a moot cause. ]

[ This is considerably stronger than pepper spray, I'll be nice and bank on Mordalion's toxins expertise and say it feels like a chemical burn more than anything else. ]

[ so it's an acid, just identifying what kind of acid that only reacts with... flesh...? is it like that stuff they use for chemical peels and tattoo removal? ]

[ It is non-reactive with the plastic table but apparently reactive enough to burn skin with mild contact.

It burns way, way more than chemical peels and tat removal stuff. ]

[ it's not the right colour but does it feel like a sulfuric acid burn. like ex-lab guy would probably know this. ]

[ Yea. Stop burning yourself Mordy but yea ]
