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!

[yeah!!]

[voidshift]

Could always just... trace everyone's while we're at this anyway, if you really wanted.

[he's not volunteering for that. but it could be done.]

[psynchronise]

[ just the "not hehe" cat face honestly. ]

[ontrend]

[oh...



kuranosuke reads it because he has no respect for privacy and is immediately sad so, like. karma.]

[hellscapes]

[ well. the photo is a little blurry, and it's hard to get a gauge of scale based on a smaller photograph. you cannot get a sense of scale based on the picture. ]

[outsidebones]

[wow.]

[reignite]

[ yeah, make room for the two goddesses. one with wings included.

carefully, to avoid stepping on anything as Zel checks out the floor, Uriel will make her way to the bar counter and inspect the area there. anything around, on, or near it? ]

[tearduct]

I mean about everyone else.

[Hell is everyone dunking you always. He knows.]

Thanks for the pics, but I'm still not smelling any more feet this week.

[refate]

[ TAKE LESS BLURRY PHOTOS

are there five finger-ish smudges, then, to identify it as hand-ish? ]

room key

[astika]

[anyway i just want to be thorough, is there anything to note about the room key or is it just a normal and potentially wet room key]

[outsidebones]

[a bit later - ]

Midori, Ryo's photography was incompetent. May I return to the scene and take better photographs?

[teufelshund]

Noted! I'll see what I can do.

[hellscapes]

[ it is simply a wet room key ]

[preordain]

I promise I won't ever ask you to smell feet.

[eleusinia]

[ oh... persephone tears up a little, even if she looks away guiltily after a bit. ]

It...almost feels like we shouldn't read these, if there's nothing that would help us today. Like we're invading his privacy...

[tearduct]

[no]

[anothen]

[ Zagreus has sandals! They may be checked. His fiery feet, too. ]

[reignite]

[ Uriel also reads because Constellations don't know shame anyways but

okay. very much not hehe, she will just turn away afterward. it's fine. ]

[teufelshund]

[ yeah please do because idk ]

[hellscapes]

Heh. Sure. [ midori seems to find this very amusing... ]

You should probably measure it this time, though. Or put something for scale in the pics.

But I'll take you.

[ they accompany harrow to the aquarium and back! just let me know here what harrow is doing there. ]

[hellscapes]

[ there doesn't seem to be anything weird about the eyes. they were closed, and now they're not because ljh is messing with them. as he makes his way down, he will not find anything weird about the nose or the lips. however, since he is checking the inside of the mouth, he will get a very faint waft of something on his breath.

working his way down, he will also some bruising around the neck.

looking at the chest, there is blood on it! quite a bit on the shirt, and yes, there's a shirt. however, when he removes the shirt he will find that there's no blood on the actual body itself. however, he will find what looks like bruising across and centered in the chest. ]

[bookpapers]

[Lavi glances at the cover, but doesn't move to open it.]

...Wasn't sure if he started one or not.

[teufelshund]

[astika]

Well, it's too late to ask him what his preference would've been, but anyone who feels that way doesn't have to look.

[but chandra feels like someone probably would've believed that not mentioning the contents of the notebook at all would've been an asshole move anyway so]

[anothen]

[ :sadcat: ]
