WEEK 2; TRIAL
TRIAL
Whether you investigated or decided to take it easy, before you know it the speakers crackle to life instructing you to head to the beach. This is a demand not a request, and anyone who doesn't comply will find themselves forcibly moved there by the kitty bots—even if it takes a whole swarm of them.
Once you get there, you'll see that this isn't quite a beach party, instead a gigantic sandbar dotted with some type of constructs has risen out of the sea and tides. The path to the sandbar is solid enough even if it is relatively narrow, and once you arrive you'll find that you're far out in the ocean, way farther than it's comfortable to swim.
And once everyone is gathered, the pathway recedes back into the sea leaving you trapped here, all twenty-eight of you. At least there's ample seating, a kind of amphitheater made of sand with space in the middle for grandstanding or dramatic revelations. Though the area is mostly open, there are lone pieces of sand wall around the edges, maybe to dissuade you from tossing someone into the ocean without stopping you entirely. Thankfully, a lone outhouse rests again one of the walls just in case you need to use the bathroom, though it's not much in the way of actual privacy.
Settle in, get comfortable or just complain about all the sand you'll be tracking back, if you make it back that is. There's still another sacrifice to be chosen after all according to your administrators and—
Maybe you've noticed there's no palm trees or speakers here? It's just you, and the sand. For now. (( OOC: Welcome to your first trial! You'll have 7 hours (8PM EST/5PM PST) to find the killer and send them off their death, if you believe in justice at least. Since this is scapegoat style, finding the correct killer is not mandatory!
Please remember to vote before then unless you've spoken to a mod, as votes are our stand-in for AC. ))

Rapt0r probably meets the image of what most people have of him in their mind, dressed in a light cloak and pants, all black of course, showing nary any skin besides his hands which aren't gloved. His sneakers at least provide a pop of color, red, because color themes are important perhaps. They match his eyes which are a similar bright red. ]
Finally. [ That word, long and slow, languid, and deep seems to be directed at Overhaul for his poor choice in aliases before he turns to address the group. ]
Drop the Rapt0r bit now, I'm bored of it—my name's Shigaraki. Feel free to say all the stuff you were saying before to my face and maybe we can have some fun. No promises on holding back though, that wouldn't be fair to Merlin.

Well color me surprised! Somehow I didn't expect you two would drop the pseudonyms, much less actually show up in person.
Any reason you're not just sticking with the catbots and PA system?
no subject
[ If these sound like off the cuff answers, it's because they are. ]
But really, I just felt like it.

I've mentioned before that we were observing you on a trial basis. Besides, it's standard procedure to quarantine new arrivals, especially if they're from different dimensions. Wouldn't want to catch anything.

[It's almost dismissive, but maybe that's because they're higher up than everybody right now anyways.]

[ That one's at Shigaraki, who gets a little nod of acknowledgement. Overhaul is being eyed a lot more curiously - that mask... ]

An underwhelming reveal, but I'll give you points for effort.

[He's looking Skywarp over in a sort of academic way, like he's taking stock of parts. Other than that, they probably both look equally unimpressed. And yes, he's keeping an eye on the Shigaraki thing, but isn't making any moves to quell it at the moment.]

Moving this with the rest of the reactions.
He's also hanging near the water, because squids like water it seems. ]
So our captors finally show themselves.
[ He sounds unimpressed. ]
no subject
[ Yeah that's an insult but also he might not remember Kallamar's name despite his obviously unique appearance. help. ]

[He doesn't even look at the squid as he says it, but that's probably because Kallamar is mini-sized and all the way over there like a sulky kid on the playground.]
Hey, both their user names have plague in the name

[A pleasure to meet you both, truly. Lobelia claps his hands together and smiles gleefully.]
Merci beaucoup! I was getting bored, you know, but it heartens me to know our gracious hosts intend to make good on their threats. This is wonderful news!
no subject
[ Because boredom won the day here more than anything else, at least on Shigaraki's end. ]
You really are a weird one, huh?

Okay, though I didn't mind imagining you two as giant birds.

But Haruka has well and truly given up.]
Ehhhh....
[This is directed entirely at Shigaraki.]
I think I'll have to just double down on saying Overho-oh-san is way less gross then you.
