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!

RESULTS

[anothen]

[ i am trying my best ]

[psynchronise]

[ after a moment he shrugs and hands over this weird looking gun ]

[reignite]

[ whacks Zel with her wing when he glances in her direction.

anyways, Uriel is here, watch out. ]

[engineers]

[ lu bixing holds his hands out for date's hands to check! but: ]

...Why do you have bite marks...?

[preordain]

I see.

[ ... ]

Actually, no, I don't. This is stupid.

[psynchronise]

[ immediately pets the dog ]

[refate]

I hate this case the longer the trial goes on, actually.

[preordain]

[ no ]

[ontrend]

And... three glasses at the bar? Though I guess if one was on the ground, it still could've just been two people drinking and one of the tentacles knocked it over. I can't imagine them just sitting and drinking with the octopus.

Though I guess it could have been in someone else's form at the time too. We know it finished in his form, but nothing says it was like that all night long.

[astika]

[chandra does not offer up any weapons]

[anothen]

[ The Stygius! ]

[engineers]

You're working very hard today, Commander.

[ no complaining but at some point, he's coming over here to pat lin on the shoulders for all the talking he's done today, and pulls a bottle out of his bag? he then drinks it, wipes his mouth, and pats him on the shoulder. ]

[outsidebones]

[maybe the fucking octopus drank the persuasion drink and persuaded them to kill each other.]

...Hmm. So, it sounds as though the tank must have broken in the aquarium, and then something or someone was dragged. I. Suppose this could have been the octopus. [but for why.] It is hard to imagine dragging the octopus to the bar and then pouring drinks. Did we check the size of the footprints?

Red lipstick is strange as well. No one who matches the foot or hand print would be likely to wear it?

[anothen]

[ cerberus bites ryo in the ass and leaves three bite marks

in an au ]

[refate]

[ confirming none weapon ]

[awol]

[ hey why is your ass on the suspect list, lin looks unhappy about that. anyways here he comes behind the guy fieri to do his due diligence and to rifle through kon's clothing for anything in a careful pat down up and down legs and arms and torso.

he gets to the leg cut and glances up. ]

From your adventure with Lu and Song?

[failbo]

[No weapons!]

[preordain]

I'm mostly surprised that they even made it all the way to the bar.

[outsidebones]

I -

[she starts to say something and then abruptly closes her mouth.]

[hardrocklife]

I only saw the wet drag marks, which morphed into footprints. Anyone else there probably didn't have wet footwear at the time.

If I remember right, the two sets of wet footprints led between the aquarium and onsen.

[selfdestructs]

[ here is a gun!! ]

[eleusinia]

[ as usual, persephone will only let herself be checked by another girl, but for the sake of time, here are the deets:

she's in a powder blue midi dress with half sleeves! her hair, as mentioned earlier, is messy like she didn't even bother brushing it before coming over here, but she has a cute little butterfly clip holding her bangs to the side.

closer inspection reveals some circular marks around her wrists and ankles, and some patches of discolored, yellowish skin around her knees and shins. her hands and feet are clean, the nails of all twenty digits painted the same gentle shade of blue. ]

[reignite]

[ uriel's sword, will comply to checks but won't hand it over. maybe. ]

[bookpapers]

[RYNLAN...... im happy that guy fieri can protect Rynlan's modesty,

Lavi will also do the same, except he does look at the bruises more closely? ARE THEY.... MOUTH-SHAPED.......?]
