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!

[ he does not say sorry for hitting her in the arm shes a big girl and also she beat the shit out of him on thursday for helpfully stabbing her girlfriend so this only seems fair

he'll go look at the animal house since everyone is out here committing hate crimes against graham ]

[hellscapes]

[ no. no they did not. but akira stands up and shows the shirt which means that malibu's clapping and also snapping a photo to send to someone. ]

The jacket's a nice touch. [ hehehe. ]

[teufelshund]

...It's fine. Though I appreciate the thought.

[ they'd look dumb with his yukata which definitely doesn't already look dumb on him ]

You all really don't keep track of what's happening with us during the week?

[psynchronise]

[ you heard it here folks. ]

[astika]

[mystewy.

i probably missed like ten pieces of vital clues but it's fine. chandra will place zagreus on his back again but he's not redressing him because that's inefficient for future checks and that's all chandra cares about.

he does stare at him for a lingering few moments, though, before he mutters something under his breath and then just. laughs. anyway goodbye.]

[hellscapes]

[ ominous.... ]

[ontrend]

[hellscapes]

[ they are being a little polite today and keeping their judgey thoughts to themselves. ]

We hear about it later, sometimes, if you guys think of updating us or if we happen to catch it while we're watching over stuff. Otherwise no.

[outsidebones]

[ 👀 🏳️‍🌈 👌 ]

[voidshift]

Better than watching us, definitely.

Do you mind if I ask you more later?

[he wants to talk about flowers

just not during murder trial probably]

[toyska]

[As he leaves they may catch him muttering something that sounds very much like: "После драки кулаками не машут"]

[hellscapes]

[ lu bixing tries to reason with the hamster but it is too distressed to do more than its distressed wiggles.

itto considers heading to the house over there, but when he tries, rosé calls out: ]

Leave that to another group! I want to get back and make sure no one is messing with my flowers, okay?

[ all those pets the npcs are babysitting cannot be trusted, and i as a mod am Very Subtle.

anyway gideon shoots a harpoon at a little boat in the lava. it punctures the side of the boat. so the boat

begins to sink

in the lava ]

[hellscapes]

[ they look at the tarantula ]

He's right. It is senseless.

[psynchronise]

Sorry, it wasn't that deep it was just fun.

[tearduct]

[Damb, just called ugly, their place of living and congregation.]

Uh... Here? [He can't think of a single place he's been suddenly.] The bar in the new place looks sorta nice?

Or... the library?

[hellscapes]

Exactly.

... Sure. If you want to.

[polyglotti]

[Also just look at that gay activity over at the body check.]

[engineers]

Gideon Nav.

[ the dad voice is so real he's so disappointed

grab the rope off of the harpoon and start trying to pull this terrible boat towards the dock and their ferry before it fUCKING MELTS THIS HAMSTER ] If there was any evidence in the boat, we're going to lose it anyway! Put your arms to use and pull!

[ anyway are we done??? already if we aren't able to chase after the animals??? hello????????? ]

[hellscapes]

They won't stand out enough in the Memory Lane bar, the rest of the room is too pretty. And you guys only come to this bar once a week, no one will be able to appreciate them enough!

[ ... the library might not be bad though. hmmmm. ]

[polyglotti]

That's probably for the best, but it will be sad to see him go.

...Cerberus isn't evidence at this trial, right?

[teufelshund]

[ thanks man ]

What keeps you busy the rest of the time? I was under the impression that you weren't really working on other hell projects.

[refate]

[ good for you kura-chan ]

[cavaliered]

Talking to it wasn't going to work!

[SHE HATES THAT TONE THANKS

it's fine. she's going to pull the boat to the dock with her big strong arms. the hamster is unimportant. the boat is already on the lava, it's not going to set itself on fire as long as we get it over here! that's how this works right mods]

[hellscapes]

We all have parts of our job that we like and other parts we dislike. There are still a lot of you left, too, so even if we aren't paying attention to some of you it's likely because we're caught up with someone else.

[hellscapes]

We wouldn't keep him with us if he was.

[ well. this team wouldn't. there is no saying what the other group would do when they don't have bloody mary to keep them in line and not bring back an octopus body ]
