WEEK TWO - TRIAL

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!

[ alright well. here's lu bixing, off to very carefully investigate, with gloves and all, his personal device projecting a screen over his hand so he can make observations while he works.

i really hate that i have to write this first. does nameless have all of his body parts as far as we can tell. what's noticeable at first glance? ]

[ hahahahaha

no he does not. guess what's missing! (it's an arm.) (that's not a joke.) ]

[ thankfully lu bixing has currently lost the memory of the fact that every goddamn trial is an arms race so this is just normally horrifying. thanks!

im kidding (or am i). which arm is missing. is it missing entirely from the shoulder joint? from the elbow? does it look like it was neatly cut off or sawed off? what's the condition of the remaining arm. IS THERE AT LEAST ONE ARM? I DONT TRUST ANYONE ]

[ the left arm was severed right at the shoulder and the wound is jagged and bloody.

the body still has a right arm! it looks pretty bloody and cut up. ]

[ great. okay. thanks!

are the cuts on the left arm concentrated in any specific places? hand, forearm, upper arm? are they varying in size or consistent? do they cover the front of his arm only, or the back of it as well? what about the rest of the torso, what's that looking like? ]

[ the cuts are on the right arm. the left arm is gone. on the right arm, the cuts vary in size and are scattered all around the arm and hands. there is glass embedded in them.

the whole body is wet, and so the shirt is sticking to his skin, but there are some red spots and small tears scattered across it. ]

[ SORRY I CAN'T READ THATS WHAT I MEANT i got distracted by arm gate. okay. are these teeny tiny little pieces of glass or big chunks?

is there any glass embedded in the spots with tears and red spots on the shirt? he will very carefully remove this Wet shirt. and. does it smell like chlorine as he pulls it up? or Sea Water? or fish. does it smell like fish.

what's the state of his torso under the Wet Shirt ]

[ there's a mix of glass shard sizes. some cuts have little bitty shards, but there are a few slightly larger pieces of glass embedded in the skin.

lu bixing removes the Wet Shirt. it doesn't smell like sea water, but it does smell faintly of fish. underneath the shirt, the torso is sporting some similar cuts to the arm, with similarly varied bits of glass in bloody cuts.

there is a bruise on his chest. ]

[ he's not octopus slimy is he? is this bruise a suckermark bruise? about how big is it? he will use the device as a measuring stick for scientific accuracy but (mumbles) big medium small is also acceptable. what's it shaped like? where is it on his chest?

are the torso cuts also random in placement? ]

Edited 2023-02-25 17:51 (UTC)

[ he is not slimy, no. just wet! the shape of the bruise is a bit hard to discern, because it might even be multiple connecting bruises, located all over. so it is certainly large.

the cuts do seem pretty random, yes. ]

[ w. what. multiple connecting bruises located all over? like. in a latticy pattern? in long lines? do they go over his shoulders and across his torso / behind him or just on the front??? are they like. lumpy? consistently sized or just really truly random? are they wider or thinner? are they fresh/consistent with the night of death and not older? i don't know how to describe this im so sorry

what if he looks underneath him, at his back now that his shirt is off? are there random cuts and bruises there too? also while we're here, how's his neck looking? ]

[ there isn't a discernable pattern to it, there are just many bruises. they are large, so it's hard to necessarily discern where one ends and another begins, but if he looks closely at the darkest spots to try and guess, it does seem like the bruises are all consistently large. they look like fresh bruises, not older than the night of death.

the bruises are not lumpy. they are not particularly thin or wide. and they do not really pass over his shoulders.

his back has similar bruises to the front, as well as similar cuts!

his neck looks fine. ]

[ i'm sorry specifically to whichever mod is stuck with me during body check

this helps though thank you! also - on his hands on his arms, is the skin pruney at all? like he'd been in the water for a long time?

after that, how about his face? he'll check his eyes, as well as turn his head from side to side carefully, look at the ears, and check in his mouth as well. any discoloration or anything unusual? what about if he carefully runs over his head checking for bumps? ]

[ he's not pruney!

there are some glass shards in his face, so it's a bit cut up and bloody too...

anyway when lbx runs his hand carefully over the body's head... he finds that his hair is bloody and matted around the top. where his head has been bashed in. ]

[ I ASKED WHAT WAS NOTICEABLE AND I WAS SO DISTRACTED BY THE ARM I MISSED THE HEAD BEING BASHED I N AAAAAAAAAAAAA

wow that's. awful. hate it, thanks. is there any residue or anything that isn't human matter in the bashed in injury.... is it the entire top of the head or just a singular spot? also, is his hair wet with water and not just blood? and are the face shards small, too? mixed up in places?

is there anything at the back of the head, either? he's cradling his head so carefully. :( ]

[ hehe

there's no non-human matter in the head injury. it's the entire top of the head - it is a very big wound. his hair is wet with water as well and blood. the shards vary in size, but most are pretty small.

there's nothing on the back of the head that isn't just part of the Head Bashed In wound. ]

[ cool. okay.

moving on. how about the lower half of the body? is he missing any more limbs. are there more glassy cuts on his leggies? does he have both of his shoes. the little things. ]

[ there are similar cuts with varyingly small shards of glass on both legs.

he still has his shoes on! ]

[ he'll very carefully remove his pants to check his legs bare, too, and check the bottom of his shoes for any specific debris! is there glass? are they like, the same shoes he usually wears? "does lbx pay attention to shoes" no but unfortunately we've had too many feet checks for him to not notice if he's wearing high heels or something.

is there anything in his pockets, also?

i cant believe there's a second nameless while this is happening. ]

[ his bare legs make it easier to see the various cuts and glass!

the whole body is wet, so so if there ever were any debris on the shoes, it has probably been washed away. they look just like his usual shoes!

his pockets are empty. ]

[ is he going to jumpscare me and turn into an octopus???? also, if he turns him over, what about the back of his legs? anything unique there? back of his neck? back of his shoulders?

i guess unfortunately he'll also check his feet without shoes too. any glass/cuts there?

also im so sorry to ask about the bruises again but i just want to make sure - are they like, consistently round? or (mumbles) a shape. and then, in terms of being interconnected, are there any that interconnect across - like for example, one that starts on the front, one that's on his side, and wraps around to the back? ]

[ the backs of his legs also have cuts. rough! but nothing new or unique there. the back of his neck is as unharmed as the front. the bruising of his chest and back and the cuts on his arms might reach his shoulders, but there is no injury specific to them.

no injuries on his feets. guess they were protected by the shoes you took off.

bruises tend to take weird shapes regardless of their source... but they could feasibly be round. but none of them wrap around in a, like, curling kind of shape, no. ]

[ IM SO PARANOID BUT OKAY okay this explains a lot. is the bruising just on the torso front and back, too? not the limbs (3 of them), and not on the sides? and reconfirming THEY AREN'T SUCKER BRUISES RIGHT

he'll carefully redress nameless and make sure his sweet little eyes are closed afterwards though. :( ]

Edited 2023-02-25 18:49 (UTC)

[ the bruising is just on the torso, front and back, yes. they don't look like sucker bruises.

nameless is redressed, thank you, that's very polite of you. ]

[ im back they're not particularly chain shaped are they. the bruises. i know you are so tired of me asking about bruises. ]
