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!

Yes, as I said.

[voidshift]

Do you mind taking another look? If they're different, that says something else.

[greatvalue]

Instant regret?

[what is right]

Or... I don't know, did they forget what happened?

[preordain]

Admittedly, it would be pretty stupid to wear your own shoes at this point since we've had to look at them every trial so far. But you never know.

[awol]

[ host ur cpr for dummies after trial ljh ]

[bookpapers]

Y-yeah, same...

[he's looking around frantically]

[ontrend]

[


squints]

[awol]

[ not me already running ]

[teufelshund]

Yeah, that second to last one. Point them out, please?

[cavaliered]

Oh, my God.

[birdeater]

[ not part of this conversation but he thinks it's so cute that she repeated herself in full

he won't laugh tho ]

[tearduct]

[Winces a bit.]

Eto isn't here anymore. Remember?

[Who the fck is Ortus.]

Or whoever Magnus and Abigail is before you even say it.

[psynchronise]

[ he just looks at her and mouths "ortus??" ]

[ontrend]

Right...

[well... at least he got to see a movie before he died...]

[reignite]

There's a lip stain on one of the glasses. [ in a "the fuck" voice. ] --If it doesn't happen here, it's going to happen back at the trial anyways.

[ oh, well, so much for self-control. you know that would probably be good to have because i guess now Uriel is truly saying "fuck it" and sipping the OTHER GLASS too, all while avoiding the part where the lipstain is. this was a mistake.

also just to be sure, is the lipstain on the minty drink or the one without a strong smell?? ]

[awol]

[ hi im back just to verify smth—

could the hypothetical hand marks on the neck potentially match in size to the marks on the chest or are they too differently shaped to tell apart (just bc i know they are two completely different hand shapes!!!!) ]

[refate]

[ looks at the group present
looks at him ]

Considering the theme of the week being what it is, I wouldn't put it past someone to forget.

[ontrend]

I for one am hoping the killer was stupid.

[their suspect lists...]

[preordain]

They forgot that they were the one who killed him?

Oh boy.

[outsidebones]

[points to Date.]

[tearduct]

[GIDEON UR WOMAN]

I remember her saying she'd get Eto to come deal with me earlier this week, like she didn't remember.

[astika]

Considering that both the killer and Micah still had to go to the aquarium—and any other locations that might be involved—exactly how much of an "impulse" is doing all of these actions in sequence?

Though in any case, for it to be an impulse, you had to already have had that thought in your head somewhere.

[hellscapes]

[ the marks on the neck are much smaller! ]

[selfdestructs]

Depending on what they were drinking, they may not have been in their right mind...

[ frowns deeply also ]

[cavaliered]

Someone from... the Ninth...

[the hamster is running so hard in her head it's going to fly off the wheel]
