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!

*Please* be nice

[HE SIGHS.]

Fine. I'll go.

[awol]

[ no response but we'll see if she stops screaming ]

[engineers]

[ DONT JUST SAY THIS AND USE THIS ICON ]

[engineers]

Please understand my career as an educator and let me have this. I need to ask you a question about drinks, anyway.

[teufelshund]

It would depend on how they were wearing it, I think. Personally, I don't let my capes get bunched up like that.

...But it might be best to hold off on getting too deep into this so early in the game.

[ the computer is on the desk, but it doesn't seem to be functioning at the moment. the lights are still on and so the room is still well-lit, so they can see what's going on. a lot of debris from the different machines and servers is on the ground, but as rynlan begins to look he will notice two larger items on the ground, along with some smaller items in the debris itself. which would he like to focus on first?

meanwhile, the bird begins to explain. she is frantic! however, because this is an animal crossing bird, ljh cannot understand what she's trying to say :( she's mourning over the loss of her hamster friend, and she drops into the sand with him. she looks down the beach sadly, then out to the slowly sinking boat in the lava as she cries. ]

[ontrend]

[weird. time to check on the laptop computer over there! is it similarly busted up?

if it isn't, he'll examine the laptop. if it is, he'll check on whichever thing rynlan doesn't look at - either the larger items or the smaller ones.]

[teufelshund]

At least you have that!

[ what's their phone look like, do they have any cute charms. ]

[hellscapes]

[ this argument does not seem to move them. ]

I feel like being an educator is even less of a reason to be drunk during a trial. Such as?

[voidshift]

[hmm. he'll look at the larger items since they're probably more noticeable?? so kuranosuke can take over the small ones. what are the large items?]

[tearduct]

That's fine as long as there's a lot of meat?

CLOAK CHECK

[engineers]

[ hello here's lbx holding the cloak!!! with a nice genial friendly prime minister smile. ]

Hi, everyone. We're going to check how the cloak fits on everyone here, so please come forward so I can drape it on you, alright?

[ time to cloak check! ]

cloak thyself / reply here

[engineers]

[greatvalue]

[why is everyone too much of a coward to sniff the body twice

anyway-- does the damp spot smell only salty, or is it a both vaguely salty and alcoholic scent?]

[hellscapes]

It's the thought that counts, doesn't it~? [ no. but while their phone does not have cute charms on it, it does have a cute case. ]

wreck thyself / refusals

[engineers]

[ dont disappoint lu bixing its like murdering a hamster kicking a puppy ]

[eleusinia]

[ ... okay, she bursts into laughter ]

I was wondering how long I could go without cracking! I have no idea how I kept my face....... straight!

[ your future son is dead ]

[ontrend]

[he will allow lbx to drape the cloak on him!]

[voidshift]

[bending time to let bixing do this.]

[psynchronise]

[ stylish cloak wearing ]

[reignite]

[ giving everyone who doesn't a Look ]

[eleusinia]

[ woosh ]

[cavaliered]

[sure]

[hardrocklife]

[sure xzibit, you can put a cloak on his cloak.]
