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!

QUESTIONS

[hellscapes]

[ The demons are here and available to you, lounging around the bar and waiting for everyone to file in.

Blue Hawaiian is behind the bar, leaning on the counter next to Midori and staring at their phone. They pocket it when someone approaches but aren't really paying attention otherwise...

Cosmopolitan is sitting on the shoulder of the tallest statue, occasionally looking around the room at the trial proceedings.

Midori is sitting on the bar counter once more, kicking their little legs with disinterest.

If you wish to stop by and ask them something, you may do so. Please specify one or two demons you are addressing. ]

[hellscapes]

Oh, right.

[hellscapes]

[psynchronise]

[ just hands cosmo a croissant sandwich. or he would but they're above god and everyone so he's throwing it at them. ]

Catch.

[hellscapes]

[ the good thing is that cosmopolitan is naturally tall, so they lean forward and they catch it. ]

Thanks!

[greatvalue]

[Will Blue Hawaiian pay attention if he presents to them... a bird. And also a cat. A bird and a cat.]

[toyska]

[Cosmo gets a brief nod...

...that's it]

[refate]

[ coming to the bar since it's closest, so technically for both blue hawaiian and midori.

he presents them with... a yoru, dressed once more, but with a sticker on the build a bub outfit that says #1 Sailor on it. ]

Babysitting duty again.

Ahoy!

[outsidebones]

[ignores the rules gimme whoever.]

Good morning.

[teufelshund]

[ looking up at cosmo ]

Looks like you've got a nice view from up there. I'm a little jealous!

[hardrocklife]

[Coming up to the bar after seeing Hunter and Kon do so. Hi, Blue Hawaiian and Midori.]

... This where the babysitting service is?

[tearduct]

[He slinks in not making eye contact with a single anyone, and he also doesn't make eye contact with Blue when he gets to the bar.

There is a misshapen lump in the shoulder of his shirt.]

Can I have a drink?

[eleusinia]

[ hewwo (spins wheel) midori. persephone's hair is currently short and unkempt (minus the vine), like she didn't even bother getting ready today. ]

You look bored.

[ontrend]

[waves to each of them, and then to whichever is most available - ]

Biggest glass of water you've got, please.

[voidshift]

[hi blue hi midori. he's here with a cat to deposit.]

One more for you. Didn't want to leave her alone all day.

[preordain]

[ he walks over. ]

Do any of you have a lighter or something to start a fire? I want to burn him.

[ he points at guy fieri ]

[firstandgreatest]

[ because it's break! ]

Come on, we gotta do laps! Come on, come on!

[psynchronise]

[ cosmooooo ]

Can I come up now?

[astika]

[gimme any]

I don't suppose you can confirm if there's any reason someone would be awake after lockdown unless they intend to kill or are the intended target.

[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?

[voidshift]

[hi i'm just here because he's coming back to get his cat so he can just go sit on a chair with her. thank u.]
