WEEK TWO - TRIAL

[hellscapes]

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!

[a nod.]

Of course, it's possible that both of their pockets are empty.

[engineers]

[ oh... ]

Do you know if he usually wore it on his left or right wrist, Uriel?

[awol]

Better that you didn't, probably.

[ frowns ]

You'd think it would wake up, wouldn't it? Or change back or shift when inspected so closely. [ nodding to the table. ] Do you think they could be bringing it back if it is, perhaps, mimicking Cosmos?

[ontrend]

Dunno. It was obviously able to change on its own when it wanted to while it was in the tank, but if it's out of it and/or dead, who knows...

[engineers]

Again.

[reignite]

[ honestly, that's probably for the best ]

[awol]

[ a little squeeze back, barely there. ]

Wouldn't be surprised if the creature stopped playing dead all of a sudden.

That or this case has been much more confusing if it isn't it.

[outsidebones]

[see? ryo was fine. he didn't need help.

harrow will snap a few pics on her phone of the room. and then she will peer into the tank with the hole in it to see if anything seem amiss in there. by the way, is this the tank that usually the octopus lives in?]

[psynchronise]

[ pop off queen. ]

[engineers]

If he was in there for a long time, yes, but... I think it's less about trying to drown him as the killing method and more about the fact that there is a giant octopus in there, if that makes sense.

[greatvalue]

Maybe they weren't strong enough to make it quick? Or they just didn't know how.

[the killer sucks at killing...]

[outsidebones]

I don't see it anywhere in here.

[engineers]

[ this is fine ]

I don't dislike many things, but I really dislike this octopus.

[astika]

Hm. Well, it's not impossible that they chose someone who'd likely be an easy target precisely for that reason.

[anothen]

It's starting to make me wonder if this is all happenstance or hell curses us to either covet or loathe arms.

I quite like having both of them, personally, not that it seems to be a choice when you're getting murdered.

[greatvalue]

What do you got against Malibu?

[it is now.]

... One of you guys found it funny?

[tearduct]

Let's not speak this into existence, or we might have to punch one of them to see if they change back.

[ontrend]

If that's what happened, this killer is a cowardly bastard.

[kuranosuke says this as if it's going to make the killer mad so they defend themselves, though obviously it will not.]

[engineers]

I'm not sure if it would still have the capability to transform if it was dead - or if it would even maintain the way it looked when it did die, if it's dead.

[ this is beyond his own science knowledge ]

I think it's more likely the Nameless that we have is ours, but, we'll see.

[hellscapes]

It's not cute.

[ it's just not. apparently. ]

Well, that too, but we had a party with all the pets. Everyone got a hat.

[reignite]

...Ah. I remember now. It was the left wrist.

[ me not knowing which until now, just blames loss effect. ]

[astika]

If I ever kill you for whatever reason, I'll leave you with both of your arms.

[psynchronise]

[ ...... this really shouldn't be funny, but he snorts. dryly. ]

Keep your arms, they're better with you than lost somewhere your body isn't.

[eleusinia]

Which part?

[greatvalue]

Someone's bad idea of a joke?
