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!

[Returns the earlier favor of patting him.]

Thanks for checking even if it ends up being an octopus.

I got a good swing on it and it was not a great sound.

[ but not enough for him to understand its makeup ]

... probably better to bring it back so that we can find out. In most cases you'd expect something that could transform to die as itself, but that's largely from fiction and folklore. Who knows if that's still applicable to a terrible Hell octopus.

[personal profile] engineers 2023-02-25 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[ of course. ]

...More identifying information that was removed. [ of course. ] Having us wonder which body is the real one on top of reusing the missing arm instance to send us into a spiral seems like a distraction topic.
failbo: (I'm not sure why)

@ aquarium crew

[this is a valid comment]
teufelshund: (my money's on them being up to something)

[personal profile] teufelshund 2023-02-25 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ their lack of concern has been validated. ]

There's a blood trail leading back the way we came in, actually.

[ looks back over at the body... it's not sprouting tentacles or anything while their backs are turned right ]
toyska: (I don't know what you had in mind)

[personal profile] toyska 2023-02-25 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I meant the arm, but that's a fair question.

Well, you never know what'll happen in the future.

[Is this what he sounded like this week?]
engineers: (might seem like i didnt do much today)

[personal profile] engineers 2023-02-25 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ looks at his own hands....... this shouldn't be funny, but it is a little bit, and he half laughs. ]

I like having both of mine, too.

Having just one sucks! I hate it! I need it to do all kinds of things and everyone keeps yellin' at me if I try and use it!

[ this is just very obnoxious right now can we go back to having just one person and both arms? OH WAIT. WE'VE NEVER HAD THE LUXURY OF BOTH ARMS ON A CORPSE BEFORE HAVE WE? ]

Mm. Makes sense that it'd be found at the aquarium.

As for the round bruises that were interlinked randomly solely on his torso. Sounds like maybe someone tried to perhaps drag him down or forward even.

... How large were the bruises?

Thank you, lord Chandra. I much appreciate your consideration.

Not many of us get a say in how we die, mortal or not.

Could be... Thanks for letting us know, Uriel.
failbo: (are filled with disappointment)

[personal profile] failbo 2023-02-25 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
If it wasn't circumstance then...yeah, it--it probably was because they thought the poor kid was an easy target...

[That sucks]

Anything is possible if it's born in hell, I suppose.
