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!

[FLATLY, JAZZ HANDS:]

Oops, I'm so clumsy I tripped and bashed his head in. Oh no, his arm fell off too. Also, he's wet now.

[eleusinia]

He kind of strikes me as that kind of person, yeah...

[engineers]

...I did.

[ quietly. :( ] Neither had much to say about the mechanics of it all, though - to me, it's seemed at least a little premeditated. Why would only one person wake up besides the one who did the killing, if that wasn't the case...? Four very specifically sought out Eto, but whether that was on Thursday or days before, I don't know.

[selfdestructs]

What Persephone said. Seems pretty deliberate.

[ dude ]

[refate]

Bucky said that Hunter was a murder of opportunity. Hunter'd gone to check on him, since they were roommates, when things went weird that first night.

He didn't really have much regret about it, especially considering he essentially hunted him down from the dorms to the lab.

[toyska]

You never know. Maybe something with tentacles grabbed him and flung him into something. [Another shrug.] I highly doubt it, but it's still early.

[awol]

Oops, I may or may not have beaten him with something and on top of it all, broken all of this glass.

[ will jazz one hand with ]

[cavaliered]

You started it this time. [he did not]

[awol]

[ imagine if everyone voted for the octopus. ]

[toyska]

I didn't mean the past murders. [Again, Four and Bucky were very loud... he waves a hand.] Like I said, I doubt that's the case, though. Forget I mentioned it.

[toyska]

[I just really think this is the funniest possible option]

[eleusinia]

[ she also thinks... then huffs. ]

Do you think the demons would be willing to give us a whiteboard, or would they just tell us to go write our theories on Guy Fieri?

[bookpapers]

I've never fought an octopus before... But I read that they're really strong. And those were just normal octopi, bet the one here is even stronger.

[anothen]

An attempt will be made, yes.

[teufelshund]

[ oh bless ]

Ah, excellent! Of course, I'll make some notes and get some "before" pics for good measure.

[awol]

[ shrugs ]

We should account for everything. The octopus is as much a suspect as anyone here, I suppose.

Could mean we might have to keep an eye out for someone who dealt with it as well.

[tearduct]

[A weak smile.]

He just isn't really an emotional sort of guy.

[ontrend]

I think they'd probably tell us to use Bicker...

[failbo]

Yeah, I talked to Bucky a little. Seems to me Bucky was doing this on his own free will, so...guess there's some level of intent involved to stay awake when it's murder night...

[He didn't talk to Four, though. She being Eto's murderer, Filbo wanted nothing to do with her]

[awol]

[ octopus v childe and we all eat his special genshin dish after ]

[tearduct]

[stop no our lesbians]

Guess we'll see when they get back with the other... body.

[preordain]

[toyska]

[Honestly he was half-thinking about their bar tentacles but he doesn't believe this was an accident strongly enough to argue the point]

[voidshift]

...sounded premeditated to me with her, too. I've got my own thoughts about why, but I don't know if it's really relevant here.

[engineers]

[ wait you know who's prepared for this. lu bixing!! he takes out his fancy rainbow dry erase marker and gives it a twirl and then hands it to persephone!!! ]

It writes on the stained glass.
