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!

Could be something scary, or it can turn into like ... people you care about, right? Like they were drownin' in the tank, and needed help.

[refate]

Preferred it when it was abominable in its tank. I'll show you my notes about it later, it decided it wanted to sing a jaunty tune through our phones while it was at it.

[hellscapes]

Alright. Come on.

[ here we gooo. ]

[outsidebones]

[well this is going to make her even madder but i promise she appreciates it actually she's just mad right now.]

Do not patronize me.

[hellscapes]

[ when comparing the hands to the aquarium smudge, it could be a match for: Kon, Childe, Lu Bixing, Lavi, Date, Gideon, and Rynlan.

the smudge is too large to be a match for nameless. ]

[engineers]

[ ..... ]

Well, it's changed back, now, but... let me go look.

[ brb ]

[hellscapes]

Are you prepared for if you don't this time?

[outsidebones]

It is possible. Perhaps that is why the tank was broken to begin with - to free the person they thought trapped.

@ everyone

[eleusinia]

@prosperina
Hey um when we get back we might need someone to babysit Uriel for the rest of today
She drank the impulsive drink while we were out here
So
Heads up on that btw
Wow it is hard to type one handed

[hellscapes]

[ blue is bent in half laughing at this mess. sorry. they're unhelpful.

anyway uriel is in reach of the glass... the wet glass... but persephone successfully cucks her for now. will zelgadis take the drink away or will uriel roll higher next turn. who knows. ]

[astika]

Why did she do that.

[outsidebones]

The impulse drink?
Fine, but was it out in a manner that would suggest someone drank it? That is relevant to motive.

[voidshift]

[first things first, at lavi:]

Do what you need to do here and I won't fuss at you about it, but if you hurt yourself worse in the process we're going to talk about it later.

[there will be words. he moves on to looking around, though, looking over the waiting room for anything clearly out of place-- he was just here last night, so is anything disturbed, is anything on the floor, so on? he'll be looking at the floor before stepping anywhere just in case.]

[eleusinia]

really wanna know that too tbh

[psynchronise]

... We'll deal with that if it comes to it.

the real slim nameless but now in the right place

[engineers]

[ if someone with a near perfect memory had examined the head injury of the octopus before it was an octopus and then went to go look at the actual nameless's head injury

were their head injuries exactly the same? ]

[firstandgreatest]

[ oooooh nooooo. ]

So we gotta find something they coulda broken the tank with, right? That glass is pretty thick, you'd have to get a good whack at it.

[eleusinia]

yes
3 drinks out here





brb

[ontrend]

Yeah, it definitely isn't as flimsy as like, window glass...

[outsidebones]

Quite. I'm still not clear on how it was accomplished. I saw nothing in the area that could have been used.

[hardrocklife]

[Zelgadis will try to grab the wet glass and hold it up high. He's the tall one here, this should work, right?]

Let's hurry this up so we can get out of here.

[Looking once more at the floor... The drag marks turn into footprints. Do those footprints lead anywhere? Do they stop at the counter where the drinks are at any point? Or where this third glass was, on the floor?]

[anothen]

[ HE KIND OF GETS IT IN THE WEIRDEST BACKWARD WAY ]

Wished my father patronized me like this. I don't have it in me to berate or criticize when I'm of little help thus far, so this kind of patronizing is what you'll have to accept for now. We have an octopus to examine!

[preordain]

And it was a very large hole.

[ sneezes ]

[engineers]

Uriel

[astika]

Perhaps whoever broke the piranha tank earlier this week could provide some suggestions?
