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!

[perfectdistance]

[Here he is once again.

He has all of his old scars, specifically the huge bite scar on his left side.

Nero is not freshly injured.]

[escardos]

[ with that moment of complaining over, flat will strip! his torso is pretty clean and the burns on his arms from two weeks ago have finally mostly healed, though they have left scars.

his legs, too, are clean of new injuries, though similarly scarred. ]

[powerplay]

[ Spotless again because this game is cowards. ]

[rerouter]

[Hello...]

Power, do you mind if I take a closer look at you?

[powerplay]

[ ... ]

If you want but you're not gonna find anything.

[malewife]

[ speedruns

- healed bullet wounds (his left leg)
- healed left forearm, seems like something bit into him and tried to shake (like a dog)
- healed claw marks
- healed burns across his torso
- healed grazes
- more recent bullet wounds, one in his right shoulder and one on his left arm
- new grazes from bullets

Yaya. ]

[lefthandpath]

[there's the same old scarring as usual plus the scarring from his cyoa which is mostly just signs of glass shards having gotten into his right arm and some bullet grazings on the trunk of his body. nothing new!

Rowan's tail wags, tho.]

[arcsplainist]

[ None injury! Wow! ]

[quiz]

[ With Alisaie present, waves hands.

- large scar on her chest
- large scar on her thigh
- claw mark scarring on her face
- another scar that goes across her left eyebrow, across her eyelid, and the bridge of her nose
- her hands are bandaged

As a plus the underside of her nails are clean! ]

[rerouter]

Reze, do you mind if I take a closer look?

[Alisaie can chaperonage from the void.]

[quiz]

Sure thing. What do you wanna check out first?

[veraltwin]

[hey babe]

[bloodyromance]

[He strips with minimal complaints, he's not modest.

He looks mostly unchanged, though it looks like his injured leg's actually gotten worse? There's a notable bruise on it, for one.]

[callalilies]

As I said I would.

[ closes eye.

and then opens it to have a look at the injury on spike's leg, frowning a bit. how fresh does the bruise look? is it red like a 1-2 day old bruise, or has the blood gotten darker with age? meanwhile, polaris will just sit quietly. he'll want to know that before he speaks. ]

[yueshen]

[ here's xie lian! he will strip down out of his clothes with no fuss. as usual, it takes him a moment to unwind the bandages around his neck, but he seems less unwilling than in the past. character growth!

he has no other injuries! nothing else of note, except as usual he has this black mark tattooed around his neck. his ears are pierced. san lang sits at his feet in qilin form, patient.

once again it is my duty to remind you that he is jacked. that's it. ]

[senjinrouha]

[ good lord, here we go:

- he has older burns up his right arm, much healed now.
- a very old stab wound on his side that's been there since the dawn of the murdergame
- the cauterised and burned wound on his lower left back from fire claws
- a couple of bruises around his collarbone
- a lot of like.... chemical burns across his torso, neck, and hips that are more healed than they were when he first came back from the cyoa, thank you alphinaud.
- cuts that have been pretty well healed around his hands and wrists ]

[bloodread]

[ Oh boy.

So everything is bandaged all nice and neat but Akira has multiple grazes from bullet wounds along his shoulders and arms, and on his legs it looks like he lost a fight with a particularly beefy rose bush. ]

[sponsoredby]

[ Well.

- residual gashes across his chest
- trident scars on his stomach from w1 execution
- right leg has scarring on it
- there's a bit of scarring on his left leg from when it was lost
- light scarring on his forearms
- there's marks on his neck, shoulders, and clavicles
- a bite marks on his shoulder
- scratches on his upper back ]

[rerouter]

[I'm on mobile so have a list:

- Healed chemical burns on her arms, legs and torso
- Healed flash burns on her back and limbs
- Healed abrasions on her wrists and ankles, along with similarly healed cuts
- A mostly healed stab wound on her shoulder
- Her two missing fingers
- And of course, her missing eye which remains hidden behind her eyepatch]

[greatdeduction]

[He didn't strip last time following his CYOA but sure. He'll do it a little reluctantly, though, still a bit sullen overall.]

[Except suddenly, as he starts to pull off his clothes, a whirlwind around his body occurs, and cherry blossom petals suddenly swarm around him, before delicately falling to the floor. Sholmes...blinks? He doesn't seem so tired, anymore, but he's confused. Irene starts munching on some of the petals. Yum.]

I...see?

[..............Anyways! Time for strip.]

[He has:

- old scarring over his left ear
- old scarring over his left shoulder, right upper back
- his cool metal left hand
- handful of fresh small bruises over his body, mainly neck and his thighs
- purple staining over the fingers of his right hand]

[callalilies]

[ well here is kaeya for his check:

- old scar on his shoulder, smaller scars that are very old all over
- all along his right arm he has some very old burn scars from otamo
- some small bruises along his collarbone

and





- a navel piercing with a little snowflake stuck in it. ]

[shinetrue]

[ now that he is no longer a reindeer...

- bandages around legs and hands
- cut by left eye that seems to have healed since friday
- old scars on upper right arm and through left brow from otamo cyoa
- old scar running down back
- bullet wounds on torso seemingly healed over since friday
- bullet wound to left shoulder from cyoa, still bandaged
- a bite mark on neck
- bruises around collarbone ]

[aono]

[Feast your eyes on this mess of a boy!

Fortunately he's been healed quite a bit, but there's still a lot left in the process of healing/becoming scars.

- The weird lines on his face and forearms are pretty much healed over at this point, but will definitely make scars.
- His back is a mess of healing burn marks and blisters, again mostly-healed but they look horrible, seriously don't ever google 2nd degree burns.
- The rest of his skin is still slightly raw and angy but again, mostly-healed. Also now that it's mostly-healed it's easier to tell that he definitely got electrocuted because something something lightning patterns from the electricity passing through.
- He, a fool, has been carrying his sword on his back like normal despite having a hugeass burn there. So there's probably a long, skinny chafe mark from where it's been rubbing against his injuries.

Help him he's not used to injuries lingering :(]

[callalilies]

[ ... rin.

he's going to undo his belt on his shorts and hand it over to rin, said belt has a rope-like loop on it for a sword to comfortable fit inside of. ]

Here... this can hold your sword for a while. At least while you're still healing, you should wear it on your hip. I know it's not that convenient, but, it should only be for a few days until your wound has gotten better.
