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!

EVIDENCE CHECKS

[hellscapes]

[ Not far from the body altar sits a smaller altar, light shining on it for easier investigations. Reply here if your character would like to examine any of the evidence found so far. ]

notebook

[astika]

[chandra does not expect much from this unlike with eto, but can he take a look at the covers of the notebook]

[hellscapes]

[ looks like a notebook from the book store! it's a little wet. ]

[astika]

[is there any blood or non-water substance on it?]

nameless body #2

[awol]

[ hi what's up lin jingheng is going to pop over and have a look at nameless body #2. is there anything particularly noticeable at first? is it missing limbs? large wounds?

otherwise he will start at the head of this second... body. evidence. help. ]

[hellscapes]

[ hello. the first very noticeable thing about the body is that the whole body is wet. all of the limbs are in tact, and there appears to be quite a bit of blood centered on his chest.

more notably, however, is that his hair is bloody and matted around the top where his head has been bashed in. there are some glass shards in his face, too. ]

[awol]

[ hateful actually, but that tracks with the head being bashed in on the body.

he will just reach down ig with some gloves on because who knows where this body has been and will actually lift the eyelids with his thumbs briefly, trying to kind of be detached about it. anything weird about how they look?

he'll check the face (nose, lips, mouth inside) and then work his way down to the blood on his chest. is there a shirt? can he open it and look at the source? ]

[outsidebones]

[harrow is going to compare ryo's footprint photo with nameless body #1 and #2 feet.]

[hellscapes]

[ unfortunately, the picture is a little too blurry and only part of ryo's own foot is in it and you cannot get a good sense of scale this way. ]

[outsidebones]

[wow.]

weird smudge

[refate]

[ coming to check the bloody smudgy here. what's the general weird shape/size of this thing? ]

[hellscapes]

[ hm. well. it kind of looks like a handprint? it's just a little bit smeared.

wow! it's a little on the larger size, too. ]

[refate]

[ wow! hate it!

would it be bigger, close in size to, or smaller than kon's hand if he were to gauge? since it's not actually here. ]

room key

[astika]

[anyway i just want to be thorough, is there anything to note about the room key or is it just a normal and potentially wet room key]

[hellscapes]

[ it is simply a wet room key ]

[outsidebones]

[feet...2! harrow is going to compare the photos she took with these feet plus nameless #1 and #2.]

[hellscapes]

[ since harrow took photos of the prints with her feet, and also later took full measurements on paper, she can discern the following:

the smaller set of prints could match: Persephone, Nameless #1, Nameless #2, and Harrow herself.

the larger set of prints could match: Kon, Childe, Lu Bixing, Lavi, Date, Gideon, and Rynlan. ]

hand check

[refate]

[ comparing hands to the aquarium blood smudge. will also compare to ... actual nameless' hand just in case. ]

[hellscapes]

[ when comparing the hands to the aquarium smudge, it could be a match for: Kon, Childe, Lu Bixing, Lavi, Date, Gideon, and Rynlan.

the smudge is too large to be a match for nameless. ]

the real slim nameless but now in the right place

[engineers]

[ if someone with a near perfect memory had examined the head injury of the octopus before it was an octopus and then went to go look at the actual nameless's head injury

were their head injuries exactly the same? ]

[hellscapes]

[ lbx enters his perfect memory mind palace and remembers that one bashed in skull looked similar to another bashed in skull, but not perfectly identical. ]

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? ]

[hellscapes]

[ the lipstain is red.

the smudge is ... kind of round? almost like a perfect circle. huh.

yeah two of them are empty now :( :( so sad :( ]

hammer

[astika]

[DOES THIS FUCKING HAMMER LOOKS LIKE IT'S BEEN USED DOES IT HAVE ANY BLOOD OR WATER OR UNUSUAL SUBSTANCES]

[hellscapes]

[ it looks clean but a little scuffed! ]
