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!

HEAD INJURY RESULTS

[anothen]

[ ah ]

None of these are quite exact to the injury on his head, I'm afraid. Sword handles such as Miss Gideon's and Lady Uriel's may be able, but they're too narrow to match. The size is more similar to a chainsaw, but the nature of the injury isn't. Well. It isn't messy enough. Fortunate for him, honestly.

[ontrend]

So is there a weapon out there somewhere that we just haven't found yet, like at the onsen or wherever, or... is someone hiding things in their room again?

[awol]

The latter is very likely. Wouldn't hurt to look into the names of everyone doubled up on the checks, would it?

[ontrend]

Yeah, unless the octopus was transformed to frame them...? I dunno, though. We're running low on things to check up on.

[anothen]

It wouldn't, but hopefully we can narrow down the list further. It's also difficult to account for everything people may have received until then.

[awol]

[ oh frown ]

[refate]

So nothing that we have on our persons, currently. [ hm. ] If nothing comes up on these investigations... we could see if they'd let us check dorm rooms, but we'd have to narrow down the list, I imagine.

[awol]

We do have a fairly small one already. Could start there.

[refate]

I'm fine with handing my key over to someone if they want to check mine and Uriel's room.

[ their print lists... ]

[toyska]

Zagreus already went to mine, but you're welcome to go back if you need to.

[greatvalue]

If we plan to check rooms, we should get on that sooner rather than later.

[astika]

I would prioritize Lavi and Lu Bixing's.

[greatvalue]

... Agreed.

[astika]

[comes back]

There was a hammer in the room, and it looks scuffed.

[ontrend]

...

[rubs at his head. ugh.]

[tearduct]

[Quietly:]

Because he used it on the piranha tank. To get me out.

[greatvalue]

...

Cool.

[preordain]

So, are you all going to vote for him or not?

[engineers]

[ looks at the hammer from wherever it's sitting in evidence. damn imagine that he opened his closet door today ]

... The size of that thing could explain all the destruction.

[refate]

[ looking over at lu bixing asking lavi about knowing CPR.

looks away and grinds his jaw a little. ]

Yeah. Let's maybe ask if we can get going on that.

[engineers]

[ tossing him his key ]

Here.

[greatvalue]

[nods...]

Whoever is going. Let's just go.

[refate]

[ making sure that chandra has the key lbx lobbed at him while this is happening someone send help ]

[voidshift]

If not the handle-- was the flat side of the larger blades part of the comparison?

[anothen]

Yes, it was... I checked every angle possible to the injury. Would that it told us more.
