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!

[ grabs him ]

[eleusinia]

That'd be a little too convenient at this point.

[failbo]

Yeah, what he said. Something needs to be done. I mean, we can't blame the octopus and call it a day.

[Even though Midori says we should]

...guess may as well prepare ourselves from now until the trial is over to be ready to vote.

[Filbo says as if he wasn't ready to vote right now because hey, he came to this trial to vote for whoever killed his friend, and he hasn't changed his mind about that. Once the week is over he's going to regret this somewhat insensitive way of thinking towards the possible culprit, so much, especially if it's really Lavi, but for now he already feels ready to vote]

[selfdestructs]

[ frowns ]

[engineers]

[ he finds nothing yes you may pat ]

[toyska]

[Childe nods in agreement with this part. He is also not an idiot and can see where things are headed, so--]

If this is how it is, I intend to throw my vote. But I suspect that even if a lot of others did the same, it wouldn't outweigh those who won't want to risk an accidental majority taking out a completely unrelated party.

[So. He doesn't expect his throwaway vote to accomplish anything, but, y'know. That's the point.]

[outsidebones]

Many of us have lost memories this week.

[greatvalue]

... Agreed.

[hardrocklife]

[......

he nods. gideon is right.

but there are so many questions.]

[teufelshund]

Why do you think they would have fought immediately? If he trusted him — which was even easier to do when, as you say, he was injured and appeared not to be a threat — isn't it possible they left together on friendly terms?

Or, perhaps— Micah, we're calling him? If he did leave for some reason, Mr. Lavi could have gone after him with no ill intentions at all, only for something to happen later. I don't think we know for an absolute fact what it is that causes some people to awaken on Thursday nights, we just have theories.

And to your last point, if I might:

[ takes out his phone, scrolls to lavi's profile, and reads off: ]

Skills: fighting under duress (ex: broken ribs, limbs, concussion, internal bleeding).

[bookpapers]

[WHERE IS HE GRABBING HIM???? anyway he's grabbed]

What -- ?

[firstandgreatest]

[ god help me ]

Are you really saying the friggin' octopus coulda gestured its way to tellin' someone to get violent?!

[voidshift]

I don't think some of us would drag it out purposely.

[bookpapers]

[He blinks a little, hand going up to his neck,


but before he can say anything Junhyeong grabs him]

[reignite]

[ ... ]

[hellscapes]

[ . . . ]

Uh. I mean sure, you could, but that's not quite what I meant.

[ontrend]

...yeah, I know. It feels like that'd be a bit - you know... convenient... but it's a possibility.

[engineers]

[ tossing him his key ]

Here.

[birdeater]

[ the neck because he only ever grabs him by the neck ]

Should I kill you now or tomorrow?

[preordain]

[ ah lavi... ]

[teufelshund]

Unfortunately, you're our prime suspect at the moment.

[cavaliered]

[okay well hold on she's intervening, sorry, she moves right in to try and rip him off lavi]

[firstandgreatest]

[ just making this face ]

[bookpapers]

[thanks juhyeong]

...What the fuck's going on?

[outsidebones]

Why?

Everything we've seen so far suggests that this place will do what it can to force a confrontation. Wouldn't it be more entertaining if he didn't remember?
