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 still kind of fits, like, what would be even worse to find than murder evidence? Another dead body!

It really is excessive, or a poor joke. Hopefully it was worth it to the assailant to face Uriel's wrath, should we catch them.

We didn't necessarily dread a ventriloquist dummy when we found the onsen and the thing chased us around, but now I sure dread it.

[ god. anyways. ]

Could be someone who has guilt about killing him, so it transformed based on their dread.

...well that's something.

[His immediate thought was 'why does it need a dozen eyeballs on its stomach, but he doesn't ask because he decided knowing more about a spiderhorse somehow is part of the hell torture experience]

TBH, I'd expect like, a tankful of arms to be what they'd be dreading finding.

That or bodies of other people and then the demons would just be like, "Oh, what? You don't remember that person? They've been here with you the whole time! Rude!"

[...]

But actually - I wonder if we're looking at this wrong. What if it's not about what we were dreading finding?
engineers: (this human shit crazy)

[personal profile] engineers 2023-02-25 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
...No. I think maybe - if it's related to the case that the octopus was like that, then it's likely that it's still like that for a reason.

Humans have a limited worldview, so they get weird over a lot of things.

I mean, not him necessarily, just... something else to complicate things. Like, if they were thinking "we might find something related to the murder," and then they ended up finding an exact copy of the body that we already had... I don't know, that seems pretty unnerving to me.

Honestly, I'm just spitballing here...

Thanks, Aki. Then it was definitely Cosmos before the group arrived on the scene, whether it's the octopus or not.
