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!

[...

She shakes her head.]


No, that's not it. I'm just thinking... Where does a wise man hide a leaf?

Huh? In a pile of them, like the ones in Ahnkeen, probably.

[ Or just eat it. ]

What are you thinking, Roomie?

Ahaha, close enough!

The answer is actually a forest. And if there's no forest, then the wise man would make a forest.

[personal profile] powerplay 2021-11-06 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
A forest would be so hard to make!

...But is this glitter fooling anybody? Blood and real Dust is much more concentrated and colourful. And I would never miss out on the smell of blood.

[personal profile] rerouter 2021-11-06 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, yes... But I'm not thinking of dust and blood at all. It would just be really strange to find a leaf without any trees around, you know? Or in this case, glitter outside of our group.

[ ... ]

But then it would be as simple as finding someone who isn't in the Sauna who also has glitter!

[ Unless.......? :thonk: ]

[personal profile] rerouter 2021-11-06 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it'd be pretty simple if there's someone like that! Like, how stupid do you have to be?

[personal profile] powerplay 2021-11-06 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly! It shall be a simple task, then!

...in the forest.

Do you think the culprit used the glitter to hide any traces of Dust?
rerouter: (004)

[personal profile] rerouter 2021-11-06 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not thinking of dust at all.
veraltwin: (017)

[personal profile] veraltwin 2021-11-06 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah. [Power got her on the topic of Dust, oops.] You mean to say it's possible the culprit was marked by glitter and, rather than risking being able to remove it all, they sought to hide it by marking others in the same way.
rerouter: (018)

[personal profile] rerouter 2021-11-06 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
It's one option, yes. Though it would be pretty stupid to mark a totally separate group of people.
veraltwin: (Z16)

[personal profile] veraltwin 2021-11-06 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, it would be. Of course, we could just as easily argue that by doing so they tried to pull attention away from them by providing a more obvious source.

I find it more likely your theory is correct, but we must needs remain aware of all the possibilities. 'Twas you who warned me away from looking too narrowly last week.
