superhell | WEEK TWO

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!

It might make sense if the killer had any regrets doing it... But it's not like their hand was completely forced. They didn't have to kill him.

[unless it really is demonic possession]

Up until this point it certainly doesn't seem like they've been forced.

I guess we can't totally rule out an accident...?

[He seems very clearly doubtful, though.]

Several really big accidents in a row?

Some fucking oops.

[FLATLY, JAZZ HANDS:]

Oops, I'm so clumsy I tripped and bashed his head in. Oh no, his arm fell off too. Also, he's wet now.

Oops, I may or may not have beaten him with something and on top of it all, broken all of this glass.

[ will jazz one hand with ]

No, just this one. [Bucky and Four were very clear about their motives... he shrugs, though.] I doubt it, though. Unless-- [He nods towards Nameless] --happened to be the only one awake, which seems unlikely.

I'm having a really hard time picturing any part of this as an accident.

Then forget I mentioned it. It was just a possibility.

[He's not exactly going to start arguing for people's general innocence, he was mostly just spitballing ideas while they wait for people to come back tbh]

The violent head bashing does not really strike me as an accident. Just. For the record.

Nor was chopping Eto's body up.

I didn't mean the past murders. [Again, Four and Bucky were very loud... he waves a hand.] Like I said, I doubt that's the case, though. Forget I mentioned it.

[ shrugs ]

We should account for everything. The octopus is as much a suspect as anyone here, I suppose.

Could mean we might have to keep an eye out for someone who dealt with it as well.

[ she would have also mentioned this if i was here for trial last week sweats but she emphatically nods in agreement anyway ]

What Persephone said. Seems pretty deliberate.

[ dude ]

[gestures to other explanations]

You never know. Maybe something with tentacles grabbed him and flung him into something. [Another shrug.] I highly doubt it, but it's still early.

[ imagine if everyone voted for the octopus. ]

[I just really think this is the funniest possible option]

I've never fought an octopus before... But I read that they're really strong. And those were just normal octopi, bet the one here is even stronger.

I hit it pretty solidly with a shovel, and that sent it flying. But yeah, they're strong as hell and insanely smart, so you're up against something of a challenge typically if you get stuck with one.

They're not that bad if you don't try to fight against them. I think that's why they didn't really do anything to me the other night, I wasn't giving them a reaction.

If it was an accident of this magnitude, they should disappear simply for their idiocy.

Honestly, yeah, I would've just turned myself in as soon as we started today to avoid all this.
