WEEK ONE TRIAL

week one: trial loose lips sink ships

37 Remain

Good morning, everyone! Hopefully you're well-rested, because there's a long day ahead of you.

The start of the day is yours to do with what you want, but come 11:45 AM, your daemons will feel a compulsion to lead you to the throne room and will ensure that you're up and moving to head there. You can certainly resist it, but by the time 11:55 AM rolls around... you'll find your feet taking you there, regardless, if you aren't there already. There's no exceptions—it seems that this gathering is mandatory, as you'll find that your fellow travelers are all heading to the same destination as you.

Waiting on the throne dais for your arrival are Satariel, Yomiel, and Rameel. Some tables from the great hall have been brought in and arranged, left empty for the day ahead - save for one, where plates, bowls, cups, and cutlery have been stacked neatly for later in the day. Come noon, once everyone is within the throne room, they'll find that the doors close and lock behind them.

( UPDATE: During the early parts of trial, charcuterie with bread, meats, cheeses, fruits, vegetables, and sweets have been provided. Coffee, tea, juice, and water is also available. )

With a hard frown, their hands folded together, Satariel stands at the front of the dais. Their daemon is in the shape of a large, brown bear, dark eyes watching everything at their side. They swallow, taking a breath, before projecting their voice. "It's with great regret that I confirm that someone has died, when we were locked in for the night, just like last week. We're being tasked again with finding out the truth, and capturing the one behind it."

Steeling themself, it feels as if they're trying to look at each person gathered, giving them due attention, committing each face, before they continue. "And, just like last week, we're being given nine hours - no more, no less - to get to the bottom of what happened. Please, ask questions if you have any. While we're only able, as Watchers, to watch the proceedings, we'll help however we can."

Every hour that passes, they'll be able to hear a low cry in the far distance. The pressure's on—good luck.

Trial start

And we dive right in! Welcome, everyone, to our second trial. For the next nine hours, characters are expected to investigate the setting, compile and examine evidence, locate any unalive and unaccounted for members of their group, and theorize about the going ons of Thursday night/Friday morning that lead up to this point.

Mod breaks will run a little differently than they have in past games. There will be a three hour block starting at 4 PM EST/1 PM PST and ending at 7 PM EST/4 PM PST, where we'll be cycling one mod out at a time to take an hour long break while the other two remain to keep tags going and answer any questions players might have. We encourage players to take a break at any point during this timeframe, but the player-designated break will be at the traditional 5 - 6 PM EST time! Reference our timezones if need be.

Voting is mandatory in Chasma, acting as our activity check for the week. Please ensure that you've submitted your vote before 9 PM EST/6 PM PST, unless you've spoken with the mods previously, as we'll begin tallying votes on the dot.

If there's anything that you need from us, IC or OOC, please let us know how we can help!
