WEEK THREE - TRIAL

[hellscapes]

Hello, deadlings. We're right back at it, huh?

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 Bloody Mary, Malibu Sunset and Rosé. With them is also a cut-out of Guy Fieri, dressed as a (sexy?) samurai with a bunch of cool flames cut out of construction paper glued to his back as he walks away from an explosion. He is also holding a sign that says "YOU CAN SOLVE IT!" However, there are now paper tears glued to his face as well.

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 fourth 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's fine most people still don't manage to make it. ]

That's a good place to get eyes on them, but it's kind of ugly... Can't you think of somewhere prettier to put them?

[voidshift]

No, I'm still going to question that one, I think.

[teufelshund]

[ he takes the glass... and immediately gets shocked! and then gets shocked again by his heart straw when he takes that out to stick in the drink.

S I G H S..................




...but finally manages to take a sip. ah. ]

Excellent. Thank you.

[polyglotti]

Date is his roommate, right? I don't think he would be on a list of people Zagreus doesn't know well.

[hellscapes]

[ no they want it to be a good follower, god ]

[hellscapes]

[ boo ]

[astika]

[zagreus your obnoxious aesthetic fire

can he remove this thing on the left heel or is it stuck in/on him.]

[hellscapes]

[ oof. rough break, buddy. ]

Do you need, like, mittens...? [ would that help with the shocks, they have no idea. ]

[refate]

Might as well roll out some memes for this kind of stuff, I guess. [ taking a drinky and easing yoru to sit on the counter so he doesn't have to super juggle. ] Scale of one to ten, how messy do you think this trial is going to be?

[hellscapes]

[ it's in him!

in that it is two small puncture wounds. ]

[astika]

[hm. i see.

do they look like needle kind of puncture wounds or bigger than that?]

[ontrend]

We'll figure it out. This might not even be relevant. Though that makes me wonder why he was carrying around a list of people's names...

[ontrend]

Oh, come on! At least have some kind of method to your madness!!

[engineers]

[ help

we are three seconds from a diplomatic crisis here. lu bixing will let this considerate and convenient wind go, thanks wind, and focus his energy on ratgate and the fact that gideon has a harpoon. ]

...Can I try to talk to it first? And if it won't come in after a few minutes, then you can try to pull it in.

[ he's negotiating with people who are like this every day of his life. "like the rat" no like gideon. anyway.

he's gonna go to the edge of the dock to get as close as possible to this marooned creature and put on his absolute best, most convincing, warm and kind Lu Bixing The Prime Minister Who Helps Refugees And Frightened Children aura ever: ] Hey, hey...hey there, it's going to be okay. Do you need to come in to shore? Don't worry about them and focus on me.

[ this rat sucks but he's too nice to leave the rat and also gideon is right there might be evidence in there. ]

[psynchronise]

You're a bear by the way. In spirit.

[hellscapes]

[ they're a little bigger than needle sized! but they are sort of perfect circles in a similar way. the two wounds are in a straight line with a small amount of space between them ]

[ontrend]

...huh! Maybe we're wrong, then.

[tearduct]

My other stuff was getting worn out?

[Did they want him to wear the same two shirts and pants for weeks...? He stands up to part the jean jacket and show the shirt.]

[hellscapes]

[ they move some things for yoru to have a space to sit, taking a drink of their own. ]

In all honesty? It depends on what you do. It could be anywhere from a 4 to a 9.

[ontrend]

...huh! The list was probably about something else, then. Thanks!

[ontrend]

Eh, sometimes your roomies just kind of avoid getting toy know you, but Date doesn't really seem the type, so you're probably right.

[engineers]

Seriously?

[ :/ ]

[cavaliered]

[the harpoon gun hits gideon in the arm because i rolled an 11. ow.

i'm sorry this investigation is going to take 84 years because gideon is stupid. please, tell her to go look at the animal house and not focus on the boat rat.

anyway she shoots the harpoon at the boat because there's no way talking to this dude is going to work.]

[engineers]

Anyway, that does seem like it probably wasn't it. Maybe he was studying something else? I'm not sure what, though.

[ontrend]

Hell no, I'm a twink and proud of it!!
