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!

—I said don't! Come back here!

[goodbye kuranosuke]

[outsidebones]

[cool. anything else in the trash?

otherwise, she will look at the photo of the destroyed computer parts. does anything stand out about the way zagreus might have gotten these parts on him? does it look like it could have been destroyed with a sword or like someone crashing into them?]

[eleusinia]

Yeah. The one we all got here, and my personal one from home.

[ her hell phone just has normal wear and tear, while her home phone's screen is cracked. neither has a case.

crab friend does not look like it's been used!

the gun continues to be a gun. ]

[ontrend]

Yo! So, uh... wow, it's pretty docile with you.

[he gives the snake a little wave and leans forward to peer at its mouth. does it perhaps have any blood around it from biting zag.]

...someone said maybe the liquid in the hole in the wall was blood from if it bit Zagreus - any ideas how I could get it to open its mouth without getting bit?

[engineers]

Kon and I disassembled a few computers last week. That's how we built that jetpack!

[ nerd behavior ]

[outsidebones]

[looking at hunter sympathetically.]

If he starts to die during trial, I suspect the demons will intervene.

[ontrend]

[fair and valid]

[awol]

Where on the sword...?

[polyglotti]

[No scuff, stains, or cracks of any kind. She takes care of her stuff.

He can peek at the notebook! Is he looking at the first page, or a page in the middle?]

[firstandgreatest]

[ pat pat pat

hes also checkin clothes for usual tears, stains or rips. ]

[hardrocklife]

Is that what that was...? Hmm.

[He sounds kind of interested but this isn't really the time for that.]

[engineers]

Can you be a little more specific than that?

[hellscapes]

[ nothing else in the trash, no!

as harrow looks, nothing really stands out that would indicate how zagreus got these metal and plastic pieces on him. it looks as though it has been slashed with something, though it is difficult to pinpoint what exactly it was from photos. ]

[engineers]

[ hehe ]

It was a few more components than that, but, yeah! I can tell you about it later, if you want.

[eleusinia]

[ FROWNING AT THE POOR PLANTS... YALL... ]

I get that they were probably collateral damage, but come on, show some respect!

[ while she's at it, she'll try and flip any of the upturned furniture back over—if they're too big for her to handle alone, she'll ask one of the boys to help. if there's nothing else to do with the furniture, she'll move toward the plants... other than the sliced-off bits, anything weird here? ]

fancy bar

[greatvalue]

[a picture of what's visible from the bar entrance... for strip search reference because glass.]

wHY.

[outsidebones]

[normally she keeps her stuff pretty impeccable but there's probably a crack on her phone this week.

the bone hand is a skeleton hand it looks like a skeleton hand it's just a cool skeleton hand.]

[reignite]

[ RUNS BACK IN HERE BECAUSE I'M STUPID where exactly is the tiny bit of blood on it? and are the scuffs just, in general, all over the blade? or some on the handle, etc ]

[ontrend]

Didn't get a picture, but it was like... maybe a kid's size? Or a short adult? It was one of those animals that usually runs away from us.

[polyglotti]

[As a note, she's wearing this outfit, which she was wearing last week too.

There's no tears, rips, or stains, but there's cat hair here and there on it. The joys of having a cat.]

[ontrend]

Hell is such a weird place...

[cavaliered]

Was it a white bird?

[ontrend]

[byeeee he's already investigating]

[greatvalue]

[watching kuranosuke just go for it. sweatily.]

Titan, I hope you're right.

strip again

[voidshift]

[hello, today is saturday, which means it is time for everyone to strip. it is his least favorite activity.]

...all right. Think we'll need to do the same as usual, especially considering all the damage to that house and the blood on Zagreus's sword. Check for injuries, marks, anything else that's suspicious or otherwise out of place. If you were hurt this week then have someone familiar with them help take a look, and if you're familiar with anyone's injuries and when they got them, give us a hand where you can. We all know what the point is by now.
