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!

Excellent! If you're not prepared, you sure know how to get prepared!

[ And pours out some eggnog and puts it here in front of the Watcher. Clearly satisfied with herself somehow. ]

Just "most"? Is that you also?

[ Can't relate, never had eggnog in my life. ]

[ Great, Power's all about the Choices. ]

I will make you remember your crimes.

[ She's gonna be hanging out here with eggnog and bread though. Good meal or not, it's food and warmth(?) they're getting into their bleeding bodies and that's what matters. ]

There is no running away from us! The only other choice is to send us back, but if that won't happen, this shall instead!

[ Is this bullying... is this encouragement... who even the fuck knows. But hey, warm. ]

[personal profile] powerplay 2021-11-06 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)
So you will have to suffer everyone dogpiling you until further notice.

[ Heck yeah. But anyway, she normally doesn't bother with questions because what's being helpful or even asking for help period, but she does have one today. ]

Hey, is it possible for a victim to come back to life or die during a trial? Wouldn't that be like, messing with evidence?

[ None help. She only maybe sometimes provides comfort with her presence like a cat, but only knocks things over otherwise. But let's try another angle, then. ]

If someone used an item to hide a secret, would evidence count?

[personal profile] powerplay 2021-11-06 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Well her body was found dead and not a whole 'Susato just died in our mcfucking arms' deal so probably moot point. ]

Wait, there's a difference there? What's not-relevant evidence?

[personal profile] powerplay 2021-11-06 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
But that's relevant, isn't it?! I thought you meant, I dunno... somehow evidence that wasn't related to the case at all just because it was there...! I was wondering what kind of scenario that would be!!

[ Stop yelling at the Watchers there is a dead girl etc etc. ]

Didn't that save us last week from having to check the same people about shoe size again?

[ Ugh, not that she has anything of that sort herself. She can't really ask for one either given they have like, three.............. two since Susato is dead, items that allow for evidence narrowing. Hmm. ]
