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!

[yw sneezes on u]

I believe some refer to that as "laziness".

[hellscapes]

Oh, yeah, we know how the whole thing went down.

[ yoru is getting a head pat. good robot. ]

[bookpapers]

[he forgot that it was love potion....]

Yeah? That reminds me... I missed out on sushi night...

[BECAUSE HE FCKING FORGOT WHAT FISH ARE]

[greatvalue]

[gazes...]

How's your cough, by the way?

[psynchronise]

Yeah. That and the Aquarium are our solid locations, for the moment.

[refate]

When we inevitably have to do this again next week, I'll swing by and help.

[ if we're both alive, but he doesn't have to say that. it's kind of a given at this point. ]

The bar food does get old real quick.

[failbo]

[An energetic nod to that!]

[outsidebones]

Oh, dear. It would be such a shame if the aquarium glass broke and the octopus was dead.

[this is said to cosmo but it is so rude. anyway hello. she won't walk in right away she'll start by looking in from the doorway to get a sense of what's up in the room, and also to notice if there's anything heading out from the door - broken glass? water? footprints? an entire arm?]

[awol]

[ an interesting outfit. he's just gonna eat his blini and contemplate this. ]

[tearduct]

Sorry.

[He means for the everything, but he does not want to put any of it into the air again right now, he'll die. So that's it.]

Thanks. Ryo said I should get it.

[firstandgreatest]

[ SLAPPING HIM ON THE BACK. ]

Yo, what's up, man!

[hellscapes]

Sure. [ gestures at. all other pets. ] Don't worry~ I'm a good babysitter.

[ at least say petsitter. ]

[ontrend]

[waves]

[astika]

[continues to give filbo a dubious look YOU TRULY ARE SO PEPPY THIS WEEK]

[bookpapers]

[they're devilmen now... forever bros, he's also eating one of childe's blinis (innocent)]

Think so. [THIS IS NOT VERY ENCOURAGING? he quickly adds] I'll take lots of breaks if I'm feeling woozy.

[hellscapes]

No, stop being so weird.

[ using the many pets as a barrier between themselves!! ]

[engineers]

[ handing him a glass of water actually while we're here. hydrate, sick man ]

Is this... let's see. Kuranosuke's work?

[eleusinia]

[ ok no she'll stop him ]

H-hey. I know it wasn't your fault that... that happened. [ beat ] We're good.

[greatvalue]

I think he likes the attention.

[He also nods because, yes. Roommate privileges.]

Are you gonna send those to Malibu?

[hardrocklife]

[a brief, sympathetic look from over here.]

[hellscapes]

[ the cuts are on the right arm. the left arm is gone. on the right arm, the cuts vary in size and are scattered all around the arm and hands. there is glass embedded in them.

the whole body is wet, and so the shirt is sticking to his skin, but there are some red spots and small tears scattered across it. ]

[hardrocklife]

Thanks for clearing that up.

[tearduct]

[The kitten sniffs the hand, then bumps it. He raises his arm to hover it in case the cat gets off-balance from doing cat things like being sweet.]

There are a lot of cats. [...] Yeah, he's mine. Uh...

Jiji Devilcat.

[engineers]

As someone wise said to me once, I'm 'stone cold weird'. That condition is incurable.

[ don't sound so pleased by this. uwu ]

Did you see Yoru's jetpack? We think we finalized it successfully.

[ontrend]

[waves to each of them, and then to whichever is most available - ]

Biggest glass of water you've got, please.
