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!

I still have the 2 minutes of good luck if we need it. And...

[Rin looks like he's been holding back on saying something for a bit. But it's been an hour and Susato is just getting colder, so!]

...if...if I had my fire exactly as it is back home, I could cover this entire area in enough fire to keep every place here warm enough. Until we find Susato.

[or until he passes out under the strain of using his fire for hours on end, but.]

Do you think they could do that? Like, even for the trial, just let me have all of it back?

[rerouter]

... I don't know the answer to that. But as for your luck, could it be used to make a lucky guess?

[aono]

Like, I use it and then guess and that's where she happens to be?

[rerouter]

Yes, exactly.

[greatdeduction]

I...wouldn't say fire would be a good option, my dear boy. You could make it worse, or get rid of evidence.

The good luck, though? I...do think we need that.

[aono]

If we use the luck and it takes us right to her, I can be right there to use my fire anyway, but it'll only work for 10 minutes.

[But it wouldn't destroy evidence then at least?]

[greatdeduction]

Do it, then. We have little time. We need all the luck we can get. Better now, or never.

[aono]

Right.

[BRB using items and bothering the temporals.

He's so nervous that it won't work but he's trying to stay calm.]

[aono]

[Anddddd back a moment later:]

We should all be ready for them, she's over where someone's already looking.

[BE READY TO HEAL PLZ]

[greatdeduction]

Good job, my dear boy.

[An affectionate pat on the shoulder for him!]

[lefthandpath]

It's probably unlikely, but... one of the marbles I have does have some fire attributes.

[Allen will actually pass over the little blue marble. it has a blue flame in it. don't question???]

[aono]

[He looks at the marble, and. Blue???]

...who gave you this?

[Because he suspects someone of teasing Allen now.]

[lefthandpath]

[no why question?!]

It... well... appeared in my pocket--it has a bit to do with that adventure...?

[aono]

[???

???????]

Weird.

IF she's alive, I can ask someone to escort me there. I can heal her completely. Evidence on her be damned. I also have something for frostbite, but I'm guessing it'll be more than just frostbite in this case.

I have something else that could possibly help, but I'd like to keep that secret for now.

[arcsplainist]

You'll have to forgive me if this comes across as cruel, Mr. Kaburagi, but you would be willing to erase potentially vital evidence?

[sponsoredby]

If it means saving her life, yes.

[arcsplainist]

... I only ask that you not grow too hasty with this decision, but very well.

[aono]

What does it matter if he erases evidence if she's alive? No death, no trial, yeah?

[arcsplainist]

[ ... ]

In the ideal scenario. We know not for certain.

[lefthandpath]

There was a death this week, however.

[so they might still have to vote...]

[bloodread]

You really think it's gonna be that simple?

[rerouter]

... Not exactly. Satariel says we are still expected to execute someone, death or no death.

It sounds horrible, but please understand Alphinaud isn't speaking out of cruelty.

[veraltwin]

[She's not saying anything--she doesn't need to, considering everyone else is jumping on him, but. There's that damned pragmatism of his.

She understands, and he's right, but... gods damn it, Alphinaud. Must you always :( ]

[arcsplainist]

[ He must. Sorry ur bro is like this. ]
