WEEK FIVE TRIAL

week five: trial i want to speak to a manager

23 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 chapel 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 chapel for your arrival are Satariel, Rameel, and Yomiel. Tables for offerings sit 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 chapel, they'll find that the doors close and lock behind them.

Sporting a bit of a different look with their long blonde locks gone, Rameel will be leaning against the podium upfront with a lazy smile on their face. Their wounds and injuries from yesterday seemingly healed up completely sans one more permanent injury. And even though it looks as if they were going to say something, they ultimately don't and pass their turn.

Yomiel looks much better than yesterday, wounds healed, broken wings set, and clothing repaired. Speaking too much seems to be a bit of a strain, though, as their voice is still scratchy and rough. "You've don't have much time to find Mikotoba. Don't waste it."

Satariel is curled up in one of the pews, wrapped in their cloak and a blanket and looking tired. But they are paying attention, and their daemon paces slowly nearby as a bear, snuffling at anyone that comes close enough as though checking them over as well. It still does not touch. The Watcher sounds - quiet, for once. "Let's get started. And, while it won't matter to the trial... for your numbers, Miss Rika was a Celestial."

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

Trial start

Business stops for no one! Welcome, everyone, to our sixth 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 9:05 PM EST/6:05 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!

Questions

[grigori]

[ unlike previous weeks, rameel will be seated near both yomiel and satariel. they keep their single wing mostly tucked away but do end up adjusting it every so often. while not in "good spirits", they'll give a small wave to anyone who walks by but will not speak unless spoken to. it also looks like they left their black box of musical wonders at home.

your favorite space heater is back. yomiel doesn't speak again if someone approaches them, instead waiting to be spoken to first. their daemon, still in the form of a marbled polecat, is curled up at their side and watches expectantly.

satariel is staying where they are on the pew for now, and the bear daemon does eventually settle next to them. but they do sit up when approached, and are very alert even with the obvious exhaustion, trying to keep track of everyone and see what is needed.]

(( please be kind to your mods and let us know which one you're addressing ))

[senjinrouha]

[ reaches up, tugs rameel's hood down further over their eyes. binch. ]

Not hiding any lethal injuries we should all know about?

[grigori]

[ RUDE? ]

Nope, everything you see is everything that there is.

[rerouter]

[She passes all three of them individual drinks, before addressing Satariel.]

I don't suppose you have any hints you're allowed to share, do you?

[Their SUSATO.]

[grigori]

[ satariel shakes their head, accepting the drink and sitting up more. the front pews are kind of busted, but they've made it work, frowning tightly. ]

No... we can't tell where she might be, we just know what places do and don't have something to find.

[voltadomar]

[Kim gives a nod to all of them, but lingers near Satariel.]

So it's not a murder investigation, but a search and rescue this time...?

[grigori]

[ an attempt at a smile for the lieutenant. it's a weak one. ]

We don't have a lot of time. But I'm going to hope it's search and rescue.

[afterword]

[ While everyone else sorts to get things handled for who is going out and other info, Dokja will come to check on Satariel. ]

How are you feeling? [ Jin, in the form of an arctic fox, goes trotting up to sniff bear. ]

[grigori]

[ jin gets a licc from bear. it probably covers her whole forehead. ]

Better? The dead sent us those potions and Sheba had all of her heal spells for the week, so I don't have, you know. [ hole ] I'm still tired. And tired of being cold. But we have to do this for Susato.

[powerplay]

[ She still has her stock of snacks from trailing after the locals a bit so she's just going to saunter over and sit down in her I L*VE NERAK sweatshirt and scarf... half of one horn bleeding and blood covering one eye, just matching the injured energy up in here.

Looks around the three... Yomiel she'll harass you later. She holds up a bread at Rameel. ]

Would go well with a drink.

[grigori]

[ they will take the offered bread but make no immediate plans to eat it just yet. ]

We have some of those as well if you want to come back for them.

[sponsoredby]

[ he's gonna go approach satariel, checking on them and placing a soft hand on their shoulder. ]

Take it as easy as possible today.

[grigori]

[ they are clearly tired! and worried. that's their friend out there. :( ]

We'll try to, but I promise nothing if it means we can help.

[senjinrouha]

[ he is also here to make sure yomiel got themselves properly healed :T ]

[grigori]

[ hello, they're fine. their voice is just scratchy and they're not moving too much if they can help it. ]

Hey.

[malewife]

[ Looks at each one of them and leaves. ]

[grigori]

[ ]

[grigori]

[ :pensive: ]

[greatdeduction]

[Coming up to Rameel, Irene in crow form at his shoulder. He nods his head.]

Feeling better, my dear fellow?

[afterword]

[ alright RAMEEL, back by unpopular demand ]

Is there anything you can do or lend us to keep people warm once we get around to doing a strip check? [ looking to avoid that sweet frostbite. ]

[lefthandpath]

[Allen approaches Yomiel this time!]

I have a question: if we find Miss Susato alive, must we still vote on a culprit?

[quiz]

[ Hi Yomiel (I'm home now so I can do het crimes).

Grigory goes for the polecat immediately, sniffing first and snuggling shortly after. ]

Hey, dumbie.

[sponsoredby]

[ he's coming back to the watchers this time around and picking... hm. rameel this time. ]

Are you able to tells us if the killer this time has killed before?

[sponsoredby]

[ Aaaaand he's back. To re-ask what he wanted to: ]

So, any enlightenment on my question from before?

[rerouter]

[Yomiel? Or whatever mod isn't perishing in this final hour.]

Can I use the powers on a coin that isn't my own?
