WEEK THREE TRIAL

week three: trial loss can't be repaired with money
30 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 church 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 in the Church for your arrival are Satariel, Rameel, and Yomiel. A few of the pews have been moved and adjusted, and tables for offerings and communion borrowed at the front end of the room. They've been left empty for the day ahead - save for one, where plates, bowls, cups, and cutlery have been stacked neatly for later in the day. Some snacks and drinks have been provided for the early portion of the day, and proper food for later. Come noon, once everyone is within the church, they'll find that the doors close and lock behind them.

Rameel stands somewhere between Satariel and Yomiel but somewhat closer to Yomiel than Satariel, their hands crossed behind their back. They don't look like they want to say anything just yet and instead just look ahead.

At first, Satariel doesn't say anything. They're looking at Yomiel, before they turn to address the group to get them started, daemon bear-formed and tense. "... with great regret, we can confirm that Mr. Tsurumaru and Mr. Salazar are no longer with us, and that Susato has been missing since the evening we were locked in. Mr. Tsurumaru was one of ours, whereas Mr. Salazar was a Celestial."

Like Rameel, the third Watcher remains silent. They have no greeting for you today, but they still have a job to do, so here they are still.

With a frown, Satariel continues speaking to wrap up the announcement and get trial going. "Let's get started - and bring all three of them back, as soon as we can. However we can help, we're here to."

Every hour that passes, the bell of the church will ring out with the time. The pressure's on, good luck.


Trial start

Business stops for no one! Welcome, everyone, to our fourth 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!
