WEEK SIX TRIAL

[grigori]

week six: trial life's a squeeze

19 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 a courthouse, north of the library, 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 one of the courtrooms for your arrival are Shamsiel, Suriel, and Baraqiel. Some evidence tables have been brought in and arranged, 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 already have hot tea, takeout containers from various places around the city set out and perpetually warm (or cool, as needed), and some first aid kits for the more unfortunate to come in feeling a little under the weather. Come noon, once everyone is within the room, they'll find that the doors close and lock behind them.

Suriel stands to one side, hands clasped as if ready to say a prayer, wings tucked close. They have no smiles to offer today. "This should be the last time. Let's do what we can, so they won't have to wait for long to see you again."

"Right, as tired as all of you have become, there's an end in sight from all of this." Words that Shamsiel offers as a means to improve the mood some. They stand with a hand pressed to their chest while the other clenches at their side.

Baraqiel is quiet for a moment, seated on the judge's bench - not at it, on the edge of it, with wings and cloak spilling back on the other side as they survey the group gathered. The juror's stand is empty, and so is the audience seating. Everyone can fill in where they need to, or want to, for the next nine hours. "A-Qing and Scheherazade were Temporals. Kim Dokja was a Celestial. This is the final stretch - but that doesn't mean you can halfass it. Let's go."

Every hour that passes, they'll be able to hear a grand clock chiming from somewhere within the courthouse. The pressure's on—good luck.

Trial start

Court is now in session. Welcome, everyone, to our seventh 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 PM EST/6 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!

COIN CHECK

[shinetrue]

[ diluc is standing again, canopus seated in the chair instead and meowing to get everyone's attention. ]

As we must always do, please bring your coin over for inspection. Please show me the amount of feathers you possess and do mention if any have been used.

And if any are missing, please, say when and if anyone can back it up. Thank you.

[yueshen]

I used one power last week. As I said at the trial then, Kaeya watched me use it.

[voltadomar]

[Kim shows his. Five feathers.]

[shinetrue]

[ he nods at kim. ]

I was and I did. They helped a great deal.

[malewife]

Kim Dokja also only has three feathers on his coin. He should have had four based on what he told me he used his powers for, prior to Thursday.

[escardos]

[ flat's has six feathers! ]

I used one last week. Mister Sholmes and Mister Kotetsu can confirm this.

[ one coin, six feathers, kaeya gives it a flip so diluc can have a look himself. ]

I'm missing one from my time in Otamo with Xie Lian, Yuri, and Rochalizo... Xie Lian or Yuri can confirm it for you. I haven't used anything since.

The only one I ever used was the first week where I made myself look quite flawless.

[ He presents his coin. There are five feathers. There's also something else on his coin aside from the feathers. ]

I used one on Wednesday, Sholmes can sort of verify that. He didn't see my coin to check, though.

The other one I used this morning. I won't state what it was to everyone, though.

[lefthandpath]
