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!

[ JUST LIVES WITH :STOPMEAN: FOR THE NEXT WEEK IG!!! ]

Right... and how long will "a bit" be?

[ he makes a point of looking like he's thinking about it.

....................... :thinkfish: ]

I'll let you know.

[ they can have a moment of silence and staring before groaning and leaning back onto their elbows. ]

This is a scarlet letter that I don't deserve.

Try not getting your ass kicked, it might help. [ nerd ]

Yes, dear.

[ thIS IS BULLYING!! ]

[ they deserve it. ]

... [ he looks like he wants to laugh. ]

I'm full of great ideas. Imagine if you listened to them, darling?

I never knew you would be the nagging type. I want a redo!

[ DO THEY!? and whines dramatically. ]

[ YEAH. ]

Is the redo where you don't get your ass kicked? Go for it.

[ ... ]

No chance of saving what was gone, then?

I suddenly need so many redos in my life.

[ ....? ]

Not to make a mood even worse, but there are plenty of things that have "gone".

I mean on your back, Rameel.

Ah, yeah.

Healing doesn't mean I get to regrow things.

You're not struggling with one? [ leans to like. peek the single wing lump on their back under the robes?. ]

It doesn't cause like... a balance issue or something?

[ and he can see a peek of rameel's feathers. ]

It's just awkward but no balancing issues. Just means I get to walk everywhere not just like everyone else.

[ yanks one out and runs off like a kid ding-dong-door-dashi-- no. but hey! feathers. ]

There, there.

[ WOW? and yeah. they can be pretty depending on you aesthetic with them being a deep red with black flecks. ]

I know, I'll survive.

[ edgey. ]

Yeah. Luckily for you.

[ they're aligned with the night. what else could they have been? ]

Too soon?

[ nudges. ]

No, I can take a joke. But the point still stands. [ "you're an idiot", is the point. ]

[ hm? just looks at him. ]

I'll be sure to put more value the life that I've been given.

I think a lot of people here would appreciate that, you know.

So, I've come to fully understand.

Understand, and retain it then.

[ just another sigh. ]

...of course, dear.

[ pinches their nose.

and then pats their shoulder. ]

Try not to strain anything, yeah?

[ WHY THEIR NOSE EACH TIME. ]

I already said I wouldn't.
