WEEK TWO - TRIAL


Hello, deadlings. Wow. Just...wow.

You may have been wondering what you could possibly do in the aftermath of yesterday's beek. Your demons weren't entirely helpful, and it seems that there were no answers to be found. But on Saturday morning at 11am, you'll soon hear a sound coming from the dock. There's a large ferry waiting for you, and even if you resist you'll eventually find yourself compelled to climb aboard and set off on a short voyage. The islands around you look fairly blurry, but you don't go very far before you stop at a slab of land with two large buildings stationed. The Execution Bar is locked tight and you won't be able to head in that direction. Instead, once again, your feet navigate you to the building on the right as the door creaks open.

Inside is a bar. It's dimly lit in several places, but bright enough for you to see each other and navigate without running into the furniture. Tables and chairs are scattered around in front of the bar counter, and the floor is far less sticky than the bar on the other island. Stained glass windows decorate the walls depicting images of humanity's suffering, and concrete crosses and tombstones are gathered in the corners. The bar itself is fully stocked with all types of alcohol and mixers, along with an array of bar food to help keep your energy up.

At the head of the room lounging among the statues of saints and the Blessed Virgin are Blue Hawaiian, Cosmopolitan and Midori.

Above them hangs another hand-painted banner, sloppily thrown together.

CONGRATS ON YOUR TRIAL!
12pm - 9pm
Vote or suffer eternal damnation


You can try to leave, but the door to the bar has been locked. All of the windows are reinforced, and there isn't another way out. You've been called here for one reason...let the misery begin!



Hello, and welcome to your third trial! Over the course of the next nine hours, characters will have the opportunity to discuss, investigate and theorize about this week's murder! Characters will have time to examine the body of the victim and explore relevant locations.

There will be a mod-tag break between 4pm EST/1pm PST to 5pm EST/2pm PST. While the trial may continue and players can tag each other, mod-led threads such as questions and investigations will be on hold.

Finally, we have a voting page for characters to vote on the culprit! Please be sure to read this page carefully and that your vote is in by the time trial finishes (9pm EST/6pm PST).

Good luck, and have fun!

[ it stops, even though her expression furrows a bit but she doesn't shake him off or anything. she just releases a sigh. ]
failbo: I've been so good (I've been helpful and friendly)

Was he thrown into the tank with anything tied to him to make him sink? I mean...they can't have just assumed he didn't know to swim, right?

[Well, not that Filbo knows much about how the aquarium tanks work in the first place...but yeah, not everyone is like a grumpus, sinking like rocks all the way to the bottom of bodies of water, so he's pretty sure that, unless Nameless had something to drag him down, that was kind of an ineffective way to try to kill him]

[ he's here in spirit. is that good? who knows. but he's here in spirit, and not in accidental stabbing range. ]

[ fucking help

anyway he is just going to try to shove everything around him as he tries to get out of the fish tank. get off.

when he does manage to get out, wet and probably with cuts I guess GLASS he will. look back at the trail he saw before he fell in and. look at the others. then leaves to follow it without speaking to either of them ]

I imagine everyone will support you on that. Good luck.

Oh, they're absolutely not, it's fucking stupid to go and do a murder when we've caught the people doing it every week so far.

But even an idiot should know better than to keep a wholeass arm somewhere that would point directly to them.

[ god. he scrubs a hand over his face. ]

I guess there's a chance, but I don't know. I haven't spent enough time around the octopus to really understand it's transformation pattern.

[Hmmm.]

That's true. So... this one might be the octopus...? Okay.

[Looks sympathetically at Lu Bixing. Sorry, teach.]

Really the question. For all that the thing menaced us, we didn't get too up close and personal with it on Monday.

[ are they going to have to conduct an autopsy on one of them ]

All I know is that little shit crossed a line with me and I am not gonna cry about it if someone bashed its head in.

[ he nods... ]

It wouldn't surprise me. [ but will come over afterwards and take his hand to give it a lil squeeze. ] Of course. It sounds like we're going to have to compare to the other one they found, too, so, at least we have a base.

hope he finds something while he's in there, at least.

Is there a way to get the octopus to change back...?
polyglotti: (04)

[personal profile] polyglotti 2023-02-25 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
But if they tried to drown him then there would be evidence of that on his body, right?
reignite: (✰ baby I can erase the ache)

[personal profile] reignite 2023-02-25 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
...He should have a bracelet on. Unless he decided to take it off.

[ but, if an arm is missing... ] It could also be on the other.
teufelshund: (hey you know something cap)

[personal profile] teufelshund 2023-02-25 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
He's out, it's fine. ☆

[ sends a pic of ryo after he emerges from the tank, dripping wet and pretty scraped up. ]

[ he's atheist. ]

Sure, if he can reach.

[personal profile] engineers 2023-02-25 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm... maybe. Cosmos was - he barely knew how to do much of anything, yet. It wouldn't be an unfair assumption.

[ the baby :( ]

We can ask to see if the group in the aquarium can find anything in the tank that could've been used as a weight. It's not a bad idea, Filbo.
