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!

[ is flapjack wearing a tiny hat. this is important.

but they do perk up ]

Cat! [ :o ]

[greatvalue]

[Yea, why not. This is now Flapkjack's official mourning tiny hat. A sign of bird grieving.]

Her name's Mallow.

[hellscapes]

Like marshmallow?

[ but she's black ....... they are taking a picture of flapjack ]

[greatvalue]

I... guess? Persephone named her.

[persephone saving this cat from just being cat for, like, A While.

flapjack will pose for the picture, ftr. get his good angle.]

[hellscapes]

Roommate privileges. [ nodding like that makes sense. also yea they are absolutely treating this like a fashion show now thank you flapjack ] He's a natural~

[greatvalue]

I think he likes the attention.

[He also nods because, yes. Roommate privileges.]

Are you gonna send those to Malibu?

[hellscapes]

Mm-hmm~ Sunny likes Flapjack.

[ which is why they are doing a photoshoot ]

[greatvalue]

[walk, walk, fashion birdie...]

... Sunny, huh. [blue sunset real?] You seem to like him, too.

[hellscapes]

[ blue sunset real...? :thinking: ]

Sunny~ I don't know why you guys went with "Malibu", Sunny's way cuter. [ it's important. they take more cute pictures of flapjack ] And sure. We partied with him, so we bonded~

[greatvalue]

It's what the scrolls say. If we went with the second half of their name, it'd be Sunset. Not Sunny.

[He pauses

and squints at the bird. Hello????]

You partied with him when we were in jail?

[hellscapes]

Yeah. Malibu Sunset, Sunset, Sunny. Sunset's still better than Malibu.

[ is this even important. ]

Yeah, how did you think he got that hat?

[greatvalue]

What do you got against Malibu?

[it is now.]

... One of you guys found it funny?

[hellscapes]

It's not cute.

[ it's just not. apparently. ]

Well, that too, but we had a party with all the pets. Everyone got a hat.

[greatvalue]

Why didn't he tell me about this?

[HE LOOKS AT THE BIRD LIKE?? BETRAYAL??? Like the bird isn't normally full of secrets anyway.]

[hellscapes]

It was a secret party~ He had fun.

[eleusinia]

[ belatedly, chiming in: ]

She's named after a flower!

[hellscapes]

Oooh. Those are still not black!

[ but they accept it ]

[eleusinia]

Purple is close.

[hellscapes]

Could've called her Dahlia~ That's closer in color.

[ pets the kitten ]

[eleusinia]

They aren't native to my home, though. When I have to name something, I usually pick based on plants from where I was born.

[hellscapes]

So you only ever pick flowers you know?

[eleusinia]

Not always if I can think of something that's more obviously fitting, but it's also just easy to default to.

[ . . . ]

Midori said to come to you to ask for a drink. Can you make me something?

[hellscapes]

Makes sense. [ and they nod at the request; ] Sure~ Sunny and I are the only ones who like to bartend.

[ and after a bit she gets this! which is an alcoholic shirley temple ]

[eleusinia]

So basically we're screwed if one of you decides not to come watch us?

[ but she takes... ]

Ooh, cute. How did you know?

[hellscapes]

We kind of don't have a choice to show up, lucky you.

[ is it lucky. and they lean down a bit and grin ]

I'm good at what I do~ Plus I know what women like.

[


do you ]
