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!

If they can remember to give one.

[no let him fall HE WANTS TO FALL!!!

actually he'll be smart and just lean on the bar counter with his face in his hands while everyone realizes octopus nameless is real]

[hellscapes]

Hey, hey, hey! I didn't grab anything! That was all Midori!

[anothen]

[ looks around and is glad Hunter said something, but ]

As you're told, Lady Harrowhark, Eto had left us last week and a number of us do not know an Ortus. I mean no offense to suggest that perhaps this week of losses is muddling your thoughts?

[outsidebones]

[she takes a deep breath as well because okay, she genuinely appreciates hunter just saying what's wrong. she just lashed out at the two people in this thread being nicest to her because sometimes it be like that.]

...Ah, that. Yes, I'm aware. If you wish to compare my notes you may.

[the real results are here.]

[awol]

They could have considering what's been catching this week...

They'd have no idea.

[hellscapes]

It's usually behind glass, soooo I dunno? It's not like it would attack one of us demons, either. Maybe you should be asking the other guys that question.

Sure. You could vote for it. Hehehe.

[onlythans]

I think it's a pertinent question all around: why did the octopus transform into what it did, and what does that mean for the events that transpired here.

[He shrugs.]

I wasn't well-acquainted enough with the deceased to say either way. Mayhap someone who knew him better could.

[astika]

[gimme any]

I don't suppose you can confirm if there's any reason someone would be awake after lockdown unless they intend to kill or are the intended target.

[voidshift]

If nothing else, I doubt they both ended up near the thing by mistake.

[hellscapes]

[ a few seconds later from their perch on the statue: ]

VOTING FOR THE OCTOPUS DOESN'T COUNT!

[psynchronise]

It's not like we noticed first either.

[ but boooo midori. ]

What the hell happened here... [ it's more a rhetorical question than anything. ]

[ontrend]

[frowns]

We sure as hell will.

[eleusinia]

[ a belated hand ]

[birdeater]

[ if you want him to be violent you know what to do

but no let's just be sad and angry for nameless ]

[awol]

[ just places hand on arm gently. ]

That and all of the confusion between the octopus and Cosmos. It's likely it was a final act of desperation. The strangulation marks matching... the arm cut off jaggedly as well may have been an attempt to separate them perhaps?

[outsidebones]

It is, as I believe you know.

[very icily.]

[greatvalue]

[✋]

[firstandgreatest]

I dunno, people are saying it but you might know if it's true or not, man!

What's its name, I gotta get ready!

[firstandgreatest]

Aw man, really ... ?

[ huff. ]

So that means it didn't kill the kid or just that we can't?

[anothen]

... Would either of you like to share?

[reignite]

How do you know it's the persuasive one?

[ i'm sorry persephone, she's fighting. she wants to drink this Bitch like her life depends on it. it's been done. and it's okay modly, you were predicting the future because Uriel has now tasted both. ]

...It's f■■■■ng water? [ well, she's just going to stare at these glasses as if they have wronged her entire life. but she will meet Zel's look on with a fierce one: don't tell her what to do. >:/



and starts to make her way to the drink Persephone found, i'm in danger]

[preordain]

... that would be a little disappointing...

[ they were funny ]

[bookpapers]

[with Rynlan approaching,]

We'd like to check out the onsen.

[voidshift]

[nodding! hi he's here he will keep an eye on the lavi.]
