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!

You're... collecting your own blood?

[astika]

[eh, seems reasonable enough.]

[firstandgreatest]

What's that supposed to mean? I mean, if it drank a ... persuasiveness drink or whatever, then would it even be able to do anything about it?

[anothen]

[ BECAUSE OF TIME ZAGREUS ASKS IF HE CAN PATDOWN THANK YOU JUST TELL ME WHAT HE FINDS OR IF IT'S A NO I WON'T LET YOU TOUCH ME

HE WILL HASSLE JUNGHYEONG GENTLY.... THANKS ]

[ontrend]

...seriously, what the hell happened that night...

[greatvalue]

[sometimes you live on a giant corpse and have also been conditioned to accept the most absolutely insane shit]

[preordain]

[ damn you crazy ]

[refate]

Don't think it's going to be his room we go check, Lavi.

[ stares yaywon directly in the eye from kentucky while kon kinda helps clean the smudges off. ]

But we should definitely ask about heading to check rooms.

[outsidebones]

Indeed. I can prove it, if it becomes necessary.

[anothen]

[ BECAUSE OF TIME ZAGREUS ASKS IF HE CAN PATDOWN THANK YOU JUST TELL ME WHAT HE FINDS OR IF IT'S A NO I WON'T LET YOU TOUCH ME ]

[cavaliered]

Just. Don't ask.

[onlythans]

[the WHAT that you keep WHERE]

[anothen]

[ BECAUSE OF TIME ZAGREUS ASKS IF HE CAN PATDOWN THANK YOU JUST TELL ME WHAT HE FINDS OR IF IT'S A NO I WON'T LET YOU TOUCH ME

hope you get scapegoated nerd ]

[voidshift]

Or we have to assume they don't remember.

[ontrend]

Yeah. Like I said, our options are "vote for who did it once we're sure" or "vote for someone we know didn't".

[engineers]

[ he smiles just a little, though it's not quite as there as usual. ]

I thought you might. [ he reaches up, and very gently places a hand on the back of his own neck, gesturing there. ]

...You have a series of perfectly circular marks, here. Suction bruises, perfectly circular. Did you know that the largest parts of an octopus's suckers are only about two inches across? And they get smaller, the further down the tentacle you go. The ones you have are approximately an inch wide.

[ ... ]

Where did those come from, Lavi? Tell me honestly.

[greatvalue]

[he can pat him down! there's nothing else here besides what he already presented.]

[ontrend]

...man, I know that's possible, but it feels a little too convenient at this point.

[hardrocklife]

Right... okay. I have a lot of questions.

... But I don't think now is the time for them.

[anothen]

[ her chest is so wide and she's so tall he should be jealous ]

[hellscapes]

I mean...there're other ways of being persuasive without talking, you know?

[ they pause, as if thinking: ]

"And don't underestimate the importance of body language!"

[bookpapers]

[He's just squeegeeing water off his shirt when he looks up, brow furrowed. And he looks around the room, wow, tension?]

-- What'd I miss?

[voidshift]

I'd love to know that, myself.

[both ears are pinned back, by now. thanks he hates it.]

[teufelshund]

[ TAKE IT?? there's nothing out of place, it's the same uniform he wears to every trial and he actually did take everything out of all of his pockets! ]
