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!

Can confirm.

[chandra will give him a Look if he seems like he wants to open it so it depends on if zagreus wants to ignore that or not]

[hellscapes]

[ going by this list of weapons, nothing is an exact match. Gideon and Uriel's sword handles could have possibly done similar damage, but they seem a little too narrow for it, and Childe's chainsaw is about a similar size, but would clearly have ended up messier than what's there. ]

[engineers]

[ looking right at him this time...very empathetic and serious, but. ] Mm. I can't blame you - I know it's uncomfortable.

Still, for the sake of answers and consistency, it's important that we check everyone, so, I can't really take no for an answer.

[astika]

[..................]

[preordain]

No.

[greatvalue]

Maybe? It's not a guarantee that their mouth would go in the same position, though.

[toyska]

[Childe doesn't pay that much attention to people's mouths sorry he just shrugs uselessly]

[ontrend]

[idk ask someone he curfewed with]

[engineers]

[ you age me ]

Kuranosuke, when did your bet with Lavi start?

[anothen]

[ ......................

He decides not to do it because he feels the pressure here. ]

What was Sir Kon doing before... Oh, yes. May I pat you down?

[hellscapes]

[ looking at the weapons people have collected.

looking at zagreus. ]

Uh, buddy, I hate to break it to you but I think most of those probably would break the glass if you hit it hard enough. Do you wanna try to narrow it down or...?

[ontrend]

[hi pixi ilu]

[voidshift]

[yeah they'll head back to the lobby! he is still keeping an eye out just in case anything is amiss on the way i trust nothing. the ceilings? did we watch the ceilings. there's gonna be an octopus tentacle on the damn ceiling.

but ok to the lobby & the broken furniture. are there like, signs of impact? smaller cracks radiating out from any of the breaks to indicate anything like this or indicate how they broke?? idk what else DOES ANYTHING HAVE DRAWERS.]

[selfdestructs]

[ HELP. I WASN'T THINKING....so ig neither was she. damb. its loss week, its fine. ]

I have a feeling we'll all be avoiding that place for a while, after everything.

[hellscapes]

[ it's an octopus mouth! so i suppose that is a beak, yes. he can finger this octopus hole i guess. there is not anything in it. ]

[awol]

[ runs in to check what's good gideon thank you for the feet update.

anyways how old are these bruises. he'll look for any bruises that might be particularly new (within the past 24 hours), as well as any potential tiny cleaned cuts across the knuckles or redness considering the aquarium glass getting smashed open. ]

[eleusinia]

I realize this is kind of a stupid question, but... are we sure it's lipstick and not, like, blood?

[ontrend]

You mean, when did I have to be sober? It's just for today.

[anothen]

[ SIGHS ]

One moment.

[engineers]

[ no blood or anything in its mouth? ]

glasses from bar

[firstandgreatest]

[ LEMME GET A PEEP AT ALL THREE OF THOSE GLASSES

- what color is the lipstain specifically
- what is with the smudge on the third one
- is there anything else obvious on any of them? ]

[polyglotti]

...people can fake mouth sizes like that?

[Let's compare the lipstick to all the hickeys everyone has.]

[astika]

Do you have a reason to?

[unfortunately for zagreus chandra did not agree to it in previous weeks

but because he has some respect for zagreus, he sighs and......... still does not agree to be pat down, but—]

If I had something I wanted to hide, I'd just not bring it. It's not like we've been thorough about verifying the entirety of a person's inventory, so no one would know if I left something behind.

[hellscapes]

[ there is not blood in it's mouth. ]
