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!

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

[awol]

Nor was chopping Eto's body up.

[toyska]

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.

[awol]

[ 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.

[toyska]

And hope that they haven't forgotten about it. [LOSS WEEK...]

[astika]

That's certainly a possibility, frankly. As we've seen with Akira, the effect can last quite a while.

[awol]

And can crop up at any point as well...

[astika]

Well, if nothing else, they'd probably still deny it whether or not they remembered. So for the purposes of catching them, their own remembrance is irrelevant.

[toyska]

[UGH.... LORDT]

We'll have our work cut out for us, trying to figure out if someone's lying or if they genuinely forgot something.

[Imagine if you have a legit alibi but then the other person fuckin forgets]

[astika]

Unfortunately...

[IMAGINE]

[tearduct]

[psynchronise]

[ you know exactly what you were like, akira. ]

[astika]

[eleusinia]

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

[selfdestructs]

What Persephone said. Seems pretty deliberate.

[ dude ]

[toyska]

[gestures to other explanations]

[toyska]

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.

[awol]

[ imagine if everyone voted for the octopus. ]

[toyska]

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

[awol]

[ octopus v childe and we all eat his special genshin dish after ]

[toyska]

[imagine if the second Nameless body is something totally different and the octoppus is just on a rampage in the onsen]

[awol]

[ cooked octopus now... ]

[bookpapers]

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.

[refate]

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.

[eleusinia]

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.
