WEEK TWO - TRIAL


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!

...but why were they awake in the first place? Unless the octopus was just out for blood and two would-be victims woke up so it could go on the warpath?

That part, I don't know. Maybe it just does these things, it's a hell octopus. Scarier if it's a person.

My thoughts exactly.

It may be that the octopus took the form of someone they cared about, and either Micah or the other party fell for it and broke them out in a fit of desperation—but yes, I agree. There are still too many missing pieces to just neatly dismiss it as a purely accidental murder.

Could he have dreaded running into himself, or something along those lines?

Did it really make a habit of attackin' people violently?

... Does that count, if the octopus was awake and wanted to kill someone or whatever? Can we vote for it?!
onlythans: (💔 with the moves like jagger)

[personal profile] onlythans 2023-02-25 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
With eight arms at its disposal, it strikes me as strange that it would choose to limit itself to just two Hyurian ones before attacking. If attacking were the only thing it were after.

[ thanks he is just going to clamber up there for a moment. ]

You guys grabbed the octopus.

[personal profile] teufelshund 2023-02-25 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
It's certainly possible! He was an artificial creation, and there may well have been many that looked exactly like him. Perhaps it was taking on the form of one of them?

...we'll just have to figure out what else happened.
