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!

Not everyone is missing an arm. Some people are missing eyes.

[preordain]

[ ignores ]

[tearduct]

[God.

He leans over to hug Ryo briefly.]

It'll be okay.

[hellscapes]

[ unfortunately, the picture is a little too blurry and only part of ryo's own foot is in it and you cannot get a good sense of scale this way. ]

[preordain]

I noticed that, yes.

Then we can burn out an eye.

[hellscapes]

[ that's all the contents of the notebook! ]

[hellscapes]

So you only ever pick flowers you know?

[hardrocklife]

[Well, here we are. Zelgadis will move just enough for the ladies to get in here behind him, but he's not going far.

First, how's this room look at a glance? Any furniture overturned, aquariums broken, things that we really should notice right away?

He's looking at the floor. How wide are these drag marks, and are they water-wet, or bloody? Both, neither?]

[awol]

[ hateful actually, but that tracks with the head being bashed in on the body.

he will just reach down ig with some gloves on because who knows where this body has been and will actually lift the eyelids with his thumbs briefly, trying to kind of be detached about it. anything weird about how they look?

he'll check the face (nose, lips, mouth inside) and then work his way down to the blood on his chest. is there a shirt? can he open it and look at the source? ]

[onlythans]

[It would be hilarious if I was like "oh yeah he turned up to trial wearing his Fat Cat slippers so his foot check is just these fucking things while someone out here is actually dead", but unfortunately I'm not that funny.

Just gunbreaker boots and sure he'll take them off.]

[outsidebones]

As far as I know they were made with water, so would not have any particular shape at all. You will do as I say and not waste my time with complaints, or you will be forced to comply.

Go.

[staring him down with all 5'0" of her height.]

[preordain]

[ he hugs back. ]

I said it's fine.

[hellscapes]

[ hm. well. it kind of looks like a handprint? it's just a little bit smeared.

wow! it's a little on the larger size, too. ]

[hellscapes]

[ they laugh. ]

I don't have a lighter handy.

Besides, he might come in handy again, like last week.

[cavaliered]

Every week there's someone. Listen, no more mister nice Nav, compare your feet or I actually am going to aim the sword at you this time.

[to the rest of the room:] That goes for all of you, too. I'm not in the mood.

[teufelshund]

[ mephisto is wearing the same dress shoes he usually wears to trial, which of course are now damp and may have a few glass bits on the bottom.

he'll take them off without complaint. ]

[outsidebones]

[help yeah i was like SHOW ME THE FEET PICS ANDIE no she just needs to take 'em off.]

[eleusinia]

Is there any way we can, like... write these sizes down somewhere? People can get new shoes, so I think it's fair to keep checking those every week, but I'm pretty sure actual feet don't just change sizes.

[preordain]

Why would I care about that?

[ strip check is the very far down in his list of important things

but he'll take the hint and leave ]

[outsidebones]

[he does have to take them off but she'll accept only the right foot since he's done that every week.]

[astika]

[wanders back here with the notebook]

Unlike with Eto, Micah's notebook didn't contain anything that was clearly relevant to his death, but he did keep a journal.

... It contains his thoughts on the people here, if you have any desire to read those.

[have at it]

[engineers]

I can take notes - but, there's always a chance someone would wear a bigger shoe on purpose, or hide an injury using shoes and socks, so, we still would probably have to check.

[ feet notes :nyeh: ]

[refate]

[ wow! hate it!

would it be bigger, close in size to, or smaller than kon's hand if he were to gauge? since it's not actually here. ]

[teufelshund]

[ ooh, a cr chart? ]

[outsidebones]

I would listen to her.
