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!

[cavaliered]

[she has her dorm key and phone and that's it in her pockets.]

[astika]

[from his cloak:

- phone
- key
- notebook & pen
- a bookmark
- red shards

as usual he does not consent to a patdown]

[refate]

Capelets exist, but I have a hard time believing someone would wear one of these capes as one and wind up dragging it in beer for shits and giggles.

[reignite]

[ Uriel has on her

- sword.
- key.
- hell phone, with two charms. ]

[awol]

No take-backs. You made one of those snakes your pet?

[ he lowers the gun and raise a brow at malibu and the snake because like damn, probably for the better the he didn't murder a reptile in front of zhanlu, but he ain't really thinkin abt that rn.

instead, he will look around for any claw marks at all on the walls, ceiling, and floor... ]

[psynchronise]

[ heh ]

[engineers]

[ math to math communication

anyway, he nods. ] It's at least a place for us to start.

[cavaliered]

[she comes over here and sits down behind harrow and like, does the rub hands up and down gently to generate heat thing on harrow's arms. gently.]

[onlythans]

[he's got mostly all the same stuff as last week with minor changes where noted

- phone
- room key
- notebook
- oversize pencil
- rubber band gun
- two weedy's knives
- a red stuffed cat plush from the build-a-bub MISSING
- an absolutely ludicrous diminished stockpile of nonperishable food from the convenience store
- some damn twinkies from day zero still
- a whistle
- tarot cards
- one of the skulls from harrow's room MISSING

not appearing in this hoard include:
- the nutkin, which he technically has ownership of but it is NOT in his pockets, nor is it happy to see you]

[nascens]

[Once again sitting out, though at least this time since he's in the Short People Suspect Pool, he says:]

I have my keys.

[eleusinia]

Unless they were trying to implicate someone shorter on purpose.

[outsidebones]

[it doesn't even help but she's allowed. she will reach into her five hundred blankets and hand her phone and keys and a skeleton hand.]

My inventory.

[voidshift]

[he has in his hoodie pocket:

-phone
-room key
-snacks?
-notebook & pen
-crab tool
-not in his pockets but as always, the chain of a necklace is visible around his neck, but it's tucked under his clothes from there.

patdown will be accepted with help from people who have done it before.]

[toyska]

[He likes Zel well enough so he will not put up a fuss about this but it's not very exciting:

- Mini Seelie, who is vibing over his shoulder as usual
- Phone
- Dorm key

That's it!!]

[cavaliered]

[looks

at the hand]

Where did that one come from? [like she's not surprised to see it, obviously, but.]

[ontrend]

[we'll pretend kuranosuke comes to do this after returning from investigating. anyway, he takes the following things out of his purse:

- phone!
- keys!
- this tiered flower-shaped thing
- lil crab buddy
- a friend
- a gun

he is also sipping an alcoholic beverage from the trial bar.]

[tearduct]

[Will he ever have anything else? No.

- a hell phone
- a room key ]

[outsidebones]

From the collection in my room.

[refate]

[ gestures at, agreeing ]

Then it's less shits and giggles, and more full intent to frame a very small set of people.

[ this is not meant to be a short joke and he does not frame it as one but the double meaning is there anyways. just a smaller number of people fit this pool. ]

[hellscapes]

[ just. looking at kuranosuke suddenly. ]

Um. How many times have you been bitten?

[ rynlan can look in the trash and he will find what looks like a broken camera, a few crumpled posters and a broken picture frame. looking at the machines, it looks as though they're sparking mostly because they have taken a solid beating. there are damages and pieces missing, chunks that have been broken off and exposing wires and metal.

malibu also then looks at ljh and seems to be using both hands to hold up this snake's head and tail. the snake hisses once more. ]

I don't know if I'd call it a pet... [ there do not seem to be any claw marks though! ]

[teufelshund]

[ today's items:

- cell phone from home
- hell phone
- room key
- drink with a curly heart straw

aside from the drink, these are all just in his sleeves or something, and he dumps them out all at once so he doesn't have to shock himself on each item individually. ]

[cavaliered]

[this apparently is a good enough explanation for gideon help

she shifts, tugging harrow to sit between her legs, and will sit here with her arms wrapped around harrow from behind. suffer.]

[firstandgreatest]

[ he has

- his phone
- his keys
- two beetles
- a harpoon ]

Wait, can you help me get something outta here ... ?

[ pointing to. his cast. ]

[ontrend]

A lot! [he makes a face] I fell asleep outside here the other night, remember? Damn snakes!

[he huffs



anyway he'll do as rynlan suggests and look into the hole. i guess this means putting his eye up against it and peering in. what does he see. can he fit his hand in there? he'll try to reach in and see if he can feel anything inn there if it's too dark to see anything.]

[hardrocklife]

[checking the phone and keys! any scuffs, stains, cracks, or anything that would stand out?]
