WEEK SIX TRIAL

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!

[Wiggles his eyebrows.]

You even have to ask?

[ a chuckle ] Of course.

[ it's very much functional, arms and legs first, then torso, going over each pocket and making sure he doesn't miss anything. he'll also be looking at the state of his clothing, taking notes of anything like stains and such straight down to his shoes. ]

[Not much in the way of stains, despite his mannerisms and people's general first assumption that he's vulgar for some reason, he does like to keep himself clean. He does tense when Kaeya touches his right leg, though.

Kaeya will, however, spot the same thing that Monika did when she looked.]

[ he does pause at the tension to the leg. ]

Everything alright?

[He shrugs.]

It's been injured for a while, hasn't it?
callalilies: webtoon. (❄️ observe.)

[personal profile] callalilies 2021-11-13 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Why haven't you gotten it taken care of if it's been injured a while? [ his voice is rather dry. ]

We have plenty of healers.

Maybe I just like the pain, captain.

[ ... hmmm ]

I was the one who healed you last week - as I recall, you had a sword through your torso. I don't remember seeing a leg injury, and if I had, it wouldn't have gotten worse.

Well, let's see. First Barok van Zieks himself took the blunt end of his sword and slammed it into my shin. Nice of him not to cut it off, though, I don't know if I'd done the same.

Second, when I was in Hell, Hell Bitch aimed an attack at me to shatter every joint in my leg. And since you've never seen me naked, I don't really see how you would see that mostly internal injury.

[ hm!

he smiles. ]


Mr. Van Zieks has been gone since Camebit. That injury surely would have healed. Similarly, my cultivation healing is not a weak spell, and one that has been used several times here, so I am more than aware of its capabilities.

Thirdly, I see you naked every week. That is the point of us all stripping out of our clothes and checking injuries, is it not?

[He shrugs.]

Not when you constantly put it under strain and I don't have my own regenerative abilities, but sure.

Thank you for your cooperation with Kaeya - I trust him completely, so I look forward to seeing what is the case.

[ kaeya just frowns as the below happens. ]

I've taken stock of your leg injury, and we'll have a better look at it during strip check.

Thank you, Kaeya. I appreciate it.
