WEEK THREE - TRIAL


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!

[after checking - ]

Aha. It is a bit swollen, and would appear to be a match for a snake's fangs.

...seems like a strange thing to do, but if it is a bite, possibly just coincidental.

[feet do be on the ground]

It is. It could also be a two, a 'v', or even a Roman '5', if we're trying to read into it.

They were some footprints heading into the animal houses and they were all talkin' about someone being bullied out of town ... ? And one of the doors was open!

[ he looks.



at the dead hamster.

Oh, I guess it was that guy ...

That settles that, then. I suppose the question now is if anyone knows whether or not their bite is actually lethal.

[Ajax, brother of Teucer, doesn't know a Greek mythology so he's just here like "damn I wanna be dipped in the river Styx too"

He also didn't really know Zag so he frowns a little]


Do you think that's related to his cause of death, then? [Did he die because he doesn't wear shoes or what]

You seem like the sort of person who doesn't stay out of trouble.

So, we run into the question of: was it an accident, whether caused by Zag himself or our supposed perpetrator, or did someone sic a snake on the guy?

BEACH RESULTS

[they return! gideon and itto are probably more burnt than before. lbx probably abandons them because they've sinned against god for the last time.]

There were footsteps on the beach. Two sets, I think. Some of them led towards the houses, so check there next. Oh, and there was a black cloak on the beach in some of the sand.

And nothing else. [nailed it]

[ childe of all people should not be dipped in the river styx :hei: ]

Maybe. I don't want to put all of my metaphorical money on it, considering it would require the knowledge of Greek history and mythology, and the connection that Zagreus is Greek.

...toward the houses? Yikes...

[was someone going to go murder all the cute lil animals as they slept in their beds... who would ever kill a cute lil animal...]

Guess someone should take a closer look at the cloak, huh?

If his version of the pantheon is anything like mine, we would never give the Romans any kind of acknowledgement ever.
