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!

[ oh!! this actually gets a little smile out of her. ]

Look at you, Mr. Always Prepared To Be A Dork!

[voidshift]

[yeah, no disagreement. he nods and pats his arm with the hand that's not holding his drink.]

[engineers]

Maybe. But, I think that thinking that it is just because they were under some outside influence is a dangerous way of thinking, too.

[ human nature do be a mess ] For now, we focus objectively on the facts, and move forward from there. The only person who knows the motive is the person who did it, and everything else is just theories. Right?

[ontrend]

Right? Big yikes.

[refate]

[ glancing at akira adding on the "it's all us" from the demons. ]

Yeah. Yeah it sure sounds like there's intent here, at least of some kind.

[engineers]

It's Prime Minister Always Prepared to Be A Dork, thank you!

[tearduct]

[yes

this sort of looks like the bisexual flag which is still accurate, bisexuality is hell]

[selfdestructs]

When I talked to Bucky he mentioned something about getting a second chance at life. So maybe there is more incentive than just some party at the end of this.

[awol]

We're all here for a reason.

It might be our volatility.

[ some ppl just wanna go apeshit. and this place enables them is what he means. ]

[eleusinia]

. . .

Oh. Because it's a VIP party.

[awol]

Might be some perks to beating Satan besides life.

[astika]

[i'm losing it]

[cavaliered]

[absently comes over to lean on him, just resting her arms on his shoulders from behind with her head on top of his. i think she's tall enough for this but if she isn't she's going to scrunch him down so she can do it.]

[toyska]

[UGH.... LORDT]

We'll have our work cut out for us, trying to figure out if someone's lying or if they genuinely forgot something.

[Imagine if you have a legit alibi but then the other person fuckin forgets]

[reignite]

[ how ]

[tearduct]

[refate]

Yeah. Limited chances to even get a shot at getting out.

[eleusinia]

Yeah, it says that on the posters... but if there actually is a limit on how many of us are allowed to attend at all...

[astika]

Well, if nothing else, they'd probably still deny it whether or not they remembered. So for the purposes of catching them, their own remembrance is irrelevant.

[psynchronise]

[astika]

Unfortunately...

[IMAGINE]

[psynchronise]

[ you know exactly what you were like, akira. ]

[astika]

[failbo]

No way there's no catch to them even if there are perks, though...

[Yeah, there probably is something else other than just coming back to life, but it's pretty impossible it will be followed according to one's wishes. No way Satan wouldn't put some twist in this]

[greatvalue]

... They've got nothing to lose and everything to gain, I guess.
