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!

[ fucking help WELL I GUESS SHE'S GLARING AT BLUE BEFORE SHE TRIES TO TRAP URIEL INTO A BEAR HUG which isn't very effective since she is the smallest living person here. but by gods is she trying! ]

Zelgadis, grab the glass before she gets it!

[ i really hope there's nothing else here i'm in tears ]

[hellscapes]

[ blue is bent in half laughing at this mess. sorry. they're unhelpful.

anyway uriel is in reach of the glass... the wet glass... but persephone successfully cucks her for now. will zelgadis take the drink away or will uriel roll higher next turn. who knows. ]

[hardrocklife]

[Zelgadis will try to grab the wet glass and hold it up high. He's the tall one here, this should work, right?]

Let's hurry this up so we can get out of here.

[Looking once more at the floor... The drag marks turn into footprints. Do those footprints lead anywhere? Do they stop at the counter where the drinks are at any point? Or where this third glass was, on the floor?]

[reignite]

[ it works perfectly, good job. successfully has cucked the archangel from more lack of control mistakes.

though, the bear hug does make her tear up, and maybe she's crying now. so much for keeping herself together. she will just scoop up Persephone into a bigger firm hug. this is fine. ]

I'll- kill whoever hurt Micah...!

[ this is a mess. i hope someone else gets those other two glasses because they have been abandoned by Uriel. ]

[eleusinia]

[ oh, uh, she was not expecting the turns to be tabled. uriel is easily able to lift her, and on instinct, she doesn't fight back. instead, she just pats the other goddess on the shoulder, trying to calm her down... ]

H-hey, keep it together, we need to get back to the others and figure out what happened! Otherwise we'll never know who it was, and they'll... they'll still be out there.

[ then, from over uriel's shoulder, she looks over to blue hawaiian witheringly. ]

If you've had enough giggles, can you get the other glasses? Please.

[hellscapes]

[ sticking their tongue out ]

You have enough hands between all three of you.

[ they're not your MAID?


and yeah the footprints do go around the bar and where the glass on the ground was. teehee. ]

[hardrocklife]

[Do the footprints lead out of the bar again, or do they stop in here?]

Zelgadis sighs.]

I'll get them.

[Now that Persephone has her distracted with hugs. He'll grab a tray from the bar and load all three glasses on it.

Are we done here?]

[reignite]

[ fortunate that Uriel is preoccupied with holding Persephone, the bar remains as how it is.

but thank you for your service zel and unservice blue. ]

[eleusinia]

[ persephone just. gives zel a very tired smile as she continues patting uriel.

and then gives the bar one more cursory glance in case there is something else here other than one remnant of a drink and two now empty glasses. ]

[hellscapes]

[ nothing else stands out! idk if i said the blood drops also go inside the bar but there's no specific area for them to end at, there's just one near the entrance/exit.

be free ]
