WEEK 2; TRIAL

[killerwaves]

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. ))

[ Oh, this is fun. ]

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

[ Ibuki waves to them both and then returns to munching on the cookies he somehow grabbed before they all arrived here. ]

[handsheld]

[ Shigaraki gives the shortest wave back in return, but hey it's something. ]

Nah, the sky really ain't my thing. I was mainly thinkin' of the dinosaur anyway.

[divector]

[ More than he expected, really. ]

I think some dinosaurs can also be avian? But point taken.

[handsheld]

Oh yeah, they evolved from it or something right?

[ He shrugs. Or maybe that was the plot of the movie. ]

Anyway, now we can both see each other clearly.

[divector]

That's what I heard.

[ It wouldn't be a surprise if that's how he learned about them. ]

Right. Too bad there isn't time for video games right now.

[allworknoplague]

[Overhaul doesn't wave back, that's Shigaraki's job.]

We come in all shapes and sizes. Apparently.

[Exhibit J: Joshua calling them short is still funny.]

[divector]

[ Aww, he tried. ]

And beaks as well.

[ Is he wrong though? ]

[allworknoplague]

Sure. This is my old mask, it just happened to fit with the theme.

[It sounds almost like grumbling but surely that's just your imagination, even if it's now muffled only by a layer of cloth and metal instead of a whole PA system.

Also Joshua is shorter, evidently, his opinion doesn't count.]

[divector]

[ Wow, justice for Josh. ]

Makes sense. Though now that I think about it, I'm surprised both of you went with the bird theme when there's so many catlike robots around.

[allworknoplague]

[Do we really want justice for him in the current situation.]

Catlike?

[divector]

[ Nah. ]

Hm? Aren't the robot based off of cats? Of course, they're not completely like cats, but there is a resemblance?

[allworknoplague]

Not sure why they're like cats or how they'd be related. Maybe somebody thought it was a good joke.

[Cats and birds on play island, and whatnot.]

[divector]

[ Wow, what a revelation. ]

Not very fond of the cute aesthetic, are we?
