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!

Unless it was left out somewhere, I'm not sure we'll be able to narrow it down... [Since presumably whatever was used to break it is dry by now] I guess there could be small pieces of glass caught in it, though.

[Or like. Aquarium plants or something. He's not really sure they need to spend time finding it anyway tbh but he's not gonna dictate what people wanna do]

[hellscapes]

[ rynlan checks the furniture in the lobby. every piece of furniture is broken, though that may just be because there is so little furniture in here. minimalism...

it looks like things were broken where they stood.

lavi wanders off and into the rec room. there is no damage in here. everything looks perfectly tidy! ]

[eleusinia]

[ oh, uh, she was not expecting the turns to be tabled. uriel is easily able to lift her, and on instinct, she doesn't fight back. instead, she just pats the other goddess on the shoulder, trying to calm her down... ]

H-hey, keep it together, we need to get back to the others and figure out what happened! Otherwise we'll never know who it was, and they'll... they'll still be out there.

[ then, from over uriel's shoulder, she looks over to blue hawaiian witheringly. ]

If you've had enough giggles, can you get the other glasses? Please.

[refate]

[ shrugs helplessly ]

Historically speaking, we are a group of idiots fumbling around during these trials. But individually, someone could be smart enough, especially since we've had two trials so far where people can learn our processes and what we look for.

[firstandgreatest]

I was busy gettin' Boned, dude!

[ PHRASING ]

[refate]

[ holds up his own hand to wiggle his fingers ]

A little under three hours. Let's go, Teach.

[tearduct]

[Just frowns.]

[psynchronise]

... Yeaaah. I should probably do that.

[ he'll wait for a moment or two more and then... slide on down. whee... ]

[preordain]

I hope you are never boned again.

STRIP CHECK

[awol]

[ here is lin jingheng dressed in his military blues with his coat over his shoulder. he whistles (again) sharply. ]

No time for formalities, you all know how this goes. We have the... Guy Fieri if you want some privacy, but otherwise, please remove your clothing for a check. If you wish to be checked one-on-one, then let me know.

If a woman would like to check any of the other women here for comfort's sake, please volunteer here now.

[ hold for sub-levels ]

[voidshift]

[is there anything else with the broken pieces? or is everything on the floor part of the broken furniture? nothing in here that looks like it would've broken things?

if all of these answers are no he's moving on to checking the vacant rooms, they can split these if lavi wants to help with that.]

[hellscapes]

[ sticking their tongue out ]

You have enough hands between all three of you.

[ they're not your MAID?


and yeah the footprints do go around the bar and where the glass on the ground was. teehee. ]

STRIP

[awol]

[ show us some skin or get behind the GUY, please state if your character would like to be checked by a lady! ]

[hellscapes]

[ they will pop a donut in their mouth and wave goodbye. ]

[ontrend]

[ ? ]

[firstandgreatest]

[ putting his hand (the unbroken arm one) on ryo's shoulder ... ]

Woah. Thanks for thinking of me, dude!

[refate]

Harder, but not impossible. But, honestly, I'm fine with more thorough checks of my person and things. Hopefully the rest of the suspect pool is as well.

[ not ortus! ]

[onlythans]

Less likely to be the result of copying, then. Does that imply someone inflicted a head injury on both?

I wasn't personally acquainted with the creature, I'm not aware of how perfect a mimic it was.

COMPLAIN

[awol]

[ be willfully disobedient. i dare you. ]

[bookpapers]

Nothing in the ping pong room.

[he doesn't know it's called rec room, but yeah he'll check the other vacant rooms at the same time Rynlan does,]

[preordain]

[ ryo is still wet so sorry about that ]

Uh huh.

[outsidebones]

They will be.

RESULTS

[awol]

[ if you're a checker, put your results here so we can go over any discrepancies. alternatively, list any trouble people here for Dealing With. ]

[firstandgreatest]

[ he pulls his hand away and wipes it on his coat]

Friggin' slimed again ...

[hardrocklife]

[Do the footprints lead out of the bar again, or do they stop in here?]

Zelgadis sighs.]

I'll get them.

[Now that Persephone has her distracted with hugs. He'll grab a tray from the bar and load all three glasses on it.

Are we done here?]
