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!

[Over here, continuing the conversation from weapons check, Childe jerks his thumb over at Zagreus]

Can I take him to my room to check over my weapons? It's easier than lugging them all back here.

[anothen]

[ sure, if he knew they were gods

anyway, zagreus follows ]

[preordain]

You can try that with someone else.

[teufelshund]

You're welcome.

[reignite]

Carrying you obviously. You're light.

[ holds him... like baby. ]

[polyglotti]

Yes, they're from the trip. Lavi should have the same marks on his arm too, actually.

[She can peer into her eyes! They are a little bloodshot. They were indeed bloodshot on Thursday too but they're getting better now. Otherwise, they're her normal icy-blue eyes.]

[astika]

At least from the hand and foot suspect list, I can verify that neither of Rynlan's gained items was a personal weapon, unless he's lying about any of them.

[birdeater]

I have my keys and my phones.

[ HE WON'T PULL THEM OUT OF HIS POCKETS THOUGH????????? he's a bitch. ]

[firstandgreatest]

No offense, dude, but you've been acting really weird all day!

[engineers]

[ turning the puppy eyes eye back on. ]

I do agree - just because you do have some injuries, it would be best to do a full check, Ryo.

[hellscapes]

[ rynlan is a photographer!

i didn't think enough about how that separation is done but yeah there's probably another door from inside to exit out to the other side of the fence. there is also a door in the fence to just cross from side to side any time.

lavi has a nice relaxing dip in the hot spring. he finds nothing, but the water feels very nice. ]

[outsidebones]

Are you feeling better? I was concerned earlier, when you tripped and fell into a puddle and then directly into a tank and covered your clothing and shoes with aquarium water and presumably cut yourself.

We should examine you to make sure there isn't an underlying medical issue.

[engineers]

[ none weapons! ]

[hellscapes]

Yeah, that's fine. [ they jump from their perch. ] Come on.

[ we are not writing an invest thread for you but you may assume that childe and zag went back to childe's room and could see the weapons. ]

[cavaliered]

Wait, really?

[voidshift]

[relaxation for the lavi...

he puts the phone back in a robe pocket and heads over to the fence door to open it, let's go check the other side of the springs to cover bases.]

[ontrend]

Yep. Any creature in Hell except the demons themselves, apparently.

[preordain]

[ there is a long pause. ]

No.

[astika]

[HELLO]

Our forms aren't for function to begin with, so my stature doesn't mean anything! And put me down, I said!

[toyska]

[perf thank you I will post a handwave thingy in weapons check for ease]

[tearduct]

Yeah, since we got locked in.

[Offers paws. There are some faint scratches on them, but none of them look bad or recent. Nothing under his nails.]

[firstandgreatest]

Yes.

[bookpapers]

[DON'T SAY IT THAT WAY

but okay if he's looking closely then he can see that there are two like puncture marks in the circle of the bite? i hate this i don't know how to describe it. like someone with weird teeth bit him, basically.

and the bruises are not under his hair! they're right on his skin,]

[preordain]

There is none. Bye.

[engineers]
