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!

[okay, bless. i thiiink we're good.]

[tearduct]

[pardon, he's seen previous gay behavior so]

[voidshift]

...fair.

[hard to check consistency, in that case, so he'll let it be.]

[engineers]

[ science says you're a homosexual ]

[greatvalue]

[It's a hard knock life...

None of them are super fresh, at least a couple of days old. They're all consistent with each other in the sense that they look like they might all be impact bruises without any distinct shape.

He'll allow him to check his head! No tenderness, but he will find two uneven patches of skin on his scalp, parallel to each horizontally on opposite sides on the top of his head, above his ears. His hands are fine, besides the tip of his right index finger being kind of uneven. There's a tattoo on his right wrist. His feet are fine.]

[ontrend]

Nah, it's fine. There was a lot going on that day and a ton of people who needed help, and I wasn't really like, around? I was off near the houses living my "life". How was anyone supposed to know to come get me?

[they look like scrapes. could have been from what he said! could have also been scraped on other stuff, too. who's to say?

he doesn't flinch when ryn checks his scalp. his feet are fine! nothing of particular note.]

[nascens]

[

childe is useless to me personally]

[awol]

This week makes bruises too difficult to judge alone.

[cavaliered]

[she chews her bottom lip a little.

if she gets a closer look at that patch in the middle of her open back, is there anything more specifically wrong with it than that it's just ruffled? like is it red, or irritated? she will touch it, carefully.]

[voidshift]

[anything more distinct from the rest of the cuts, for the left hand one? again i know they're varied but you know what i mean.

his ears pin back a little, looking at the right one, but fortunately he's not squeamish.]

...From the other day, I'm assuming.

[hardrocklife]

And they are...?

[what.]

[voidshift]

...fair. I think Zelgadis just ended up with us by luck.

[he'll let him get dressed again, though.]

[astika]

[same freshness, and within the same size variety.]

Yes.

[hardrocklife]

[i deleted before but now for thoroughness]

Is it all right if I take a look at your sword?

[reignite]

[ it's certainly ruffled! no red or irritation but

it could also be because something seems to be in there? mixed in the ruffles of her feathers, it kinda stands out considering her feathers are so white. it's giving off small glints under lighting. ]

[onlythans]

[What?]

Cards.

[reignite]

Go ahead.

[ what is he looking for? she won't hand it over, but she'll hold it out for examination. ]

[voidshift]

Mm. I can probably help replace this as long as I don't touch you, if you don't want to get stuck to it?

[cavaliered]

[blinks......]

-- Sorry again.

[she's just going to invasively grab whatever the shiny thing is. with her hands.]

[hellscapes]

[ well the footprints are of shoes. but yes sure she can have a size comparison with her blood print? this seems like a bad idea. she probably has foot diseases now.

but yes you could get a good size comparison with just notes and their own feet. yay!

there's nothing under the furniture.

bloody mary looks over at the commotion ]

Did you seriously get injured. Honestly. One of you pick her up when you're ready to leave.

[ they look so judgmental ]

[astika]

I can do it myself.

[ontrend]

Haha, yeah.

[he gets dressed and then gets his wig back in place!]

I'm glad he and Persephone ended up getting grabbed by people. Freaking snakes, man. Just one of us getting bit to hell is enough.

[reignite]

--It's alright.

[ there's confusion in her tone, uncertain as to why she's apologizing again.

shiny thing obtained! ]

chandra

[voidshift]

Akira says Chandra's injuries do look the same as when he saw them the other day, and I don't see anything that looks inconsistent with that, personally. Didn't remove all of the bandaging, but if he's... sticky, I'd guess it's less likely to change it all out easily.

[greatvalue]

[SOMETIMES, THESE THINGS JUST HAPPEN...

He's gonna take picture to commemorate Persephone's sacrifice and then just. Scoop her up if she'll allow it?? Or offer her support so she can be stubborn and walk. Either one is fine. Farewell, cursed bar.]
