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!

[Pondering...]

Are we sure it was dragged? It seems ludicrous to think the octopus could've made it into the bar by itself, but...

An octopus can travel pretty far out of water, actually. They're notorious escape artists in enclosures, nevermind one from Hell, so keepers will find them in the most insane places.

It could've moved on its own easily.

[He nods in response, taking that in.]

I've only ever seen them in the ocean or at the fish market, myself.

I've never seen one in person outside of a tank, but the stories and photos or videos are numerous. Things are smart.

This one terrorized Teach, D.va, and I all throughout the Subnutica tunnels as a doll with tentacles, so I feel like it probably has more range than a normal octopus would.

[Taking in the new information about the lip stain being blood...]

Does this imply that the drinking happened after the "CPR," or is it too inconclusive to tell?

[Sorry I forgot the top half of my comment but he's just nodding in agreement with Kon]

[ going from the usual "i dislike this" that he has during trials to an even more severe version with the update from itto's evidence tasting. ]

We could double check the state of blood on his mouth or in it, to see if there was a contact transfer from the attempt to revive him. CPR training goes back and forth on whether you breathe for them between sets of chest compressions to help emulate how the heart pumps blood, but it is still common practice.

I can do that, if you think it's worth checking.

Yeah. Give it a shot. [ might as well ] His injuries being what they are, I don't think there'd be blood in his lungs or internal bleeding to cause there to be blood otherwise.

[Welp. He comes back and shakes his head slightly.]
