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!

[Of course she is petting the dog.]

[outsidebones]

But that leaves us...absolutely nowhere.

[ugh.]

Still, I think it is worth considering the three beverages and what use they may have had. And also worth considering the lipstick.

[tearduct]

[it's a nice scar

He reaches up to rub the back of his neck in embarrassment and won't meet Lin's eyes. WOW.

Lin will recognize the big bruise on his chest as the one he gave him from the harpoon gun. The other bruises don't seem recent even though there are a lot.]

Yeah...

[preordain]

I was cut while investigating.

[ can he have his hands back he's homophobic ]

[engineers]

[ he's just giving him this tired look


are these human bite marks? THERE WAS AN OCTOPUS INVOLVED IN TODAYS MURDER CASE ]

[anothen]

If you're a strong warrior, whether the enemy knows what you have or not wouldn't matter, but fair enough.

Either way, whatever you've taken on Wednesday and your daggers will suffice, I suppose. The chainsaw, too, if you still kept it.

[outsidebones]

I want to never think about this again. You may ask.

[eleusinia]

[ i am saying her dress this week has pockets sure ok

- hell phone
- home phone with cracked screen
- key
- crab thing
- i think hunter has the cat this week but if not then she does ]

[voidshift]

...of course.

[just scratches! he has no new cuts. the ones on his forearms are healing up enough that he doesn't bandage them now.

thanks he's going to hurry up and get all his clothes on now]

[greatvalue]

Yeah, I was thinking about those. If anyone got a weapon, they might've shown it off to someone else.

[ontrend]

Not necessarily. It was clearly up and moving around after the tank broke. It could have been in the form of whatever left the larger prints at that time, and whoever else was there could have avoided leaving any. And then after that it could have taken his form and died.

[teufelshund]

[ whoops i forgot this part but no weapons! ]

[ontrend]

Alright, I'll BRB.

[outsidebones]

Mm. Or their roommate may have seen it. Or else, we may have seen that they acquired a pet, ruling out the weapon.

[psynchronise]

[ it doesn't look like anything an octopus would leave, no. they look more human, yes. ]

[firstandgreatest]

Why're ya' sneezing. Why. Why.


Why.

[ontrend]

[ @ any available demon, as he's finishing up his water bottle]

Hey, so like, the persuasion drink. Would someone who drank it only have been persuasive to us, or could they have persuaded the octopus to take a specific form? I'd try it out myself right now, but uh. Dead octopus.

[...holds out empty water bottle]

Also, could I get a refill on this?

[reignite]

[ Uriel is just eying everyone not participating with the fury of hellfire. ]

[greatvalue]

[nada]

[engineers]

Glass shard cuts that might have been hidden on the body, since I saw a few places where glass cut through Cosmos' clothes and cut into his body, in particular - but if I come up with others, then you'll certainly hear them.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation. [ c: ]

[preordain]

I'm now allergic to you.

[toyska]

[He disagrees with that sentiment but he won't argue about it.]

You want me to bring all of that...?

[Zag that's so many things.]

[bookpapers]

[teehee

THE BITES ARE JUST BITES??? They're mouth-shaped, hard enough to break skin. How closely is Bixing looking....

The neck bruises are small in size and circular in shape, and located mostly on the back of his neck.

also yes, the cuts were also there on thursday!!!]

[awol]

[ he won't fight, but she will. ]

[voidshift]

...then something definitely happened here.

[love that. he's knocking a couple plants back over like they just were, and pulling out his phone to get a picture of the puddle (lavi for scale) with the disturbed decorations still in the frame to show where they are relative to it. then another of just the puddle (also with lavi for scale.)

how is the separation done, is there a second exit from the inn or a door out here or something?]

Might want to check the other side to be sure. What about the water, can you make sure nothing is at the bottom while we're here?
