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!

[ help. this gets him to laugh. ]

Absolutely nothing, but I want to make sure that I offered, still. What about less sweet things, like sesame sweets? If your friend likes them, though, I'd be happy to offer it a little piece?

[psynchronise]

[ wipes a single tear of pride ]

[cavaliered]

[man standing i'm too lazy to copy the emote]

[cavaliered]

[she's about to be stolen off for an invest so she comes up to him]

Watch my necromancer for me, would you? [tradesies]

[astika]

[WOW FOR ONCE watch us find arms on investigation anyway

starting with his head first! is there anything obvious about it, e.g. has it been bashed in or anything? no ears randomly missing? running his hand through zagreus's hair to check that there's nothing funky on his scalp. also, are his eyes open or closed?]

[firstandgreatest]

[ you know that thing where students desperately want to get picked and are holding their hands up and being like. PLEASE. PICK ME. ittos doing that. he wants to go. ]

[tearduct]

[Not being boxed in by standing_man help.]

Yeah. For a while. I think it wore off, so yours should too eventually. Just don't get bit by tarantulas or stung by scorpions.

[tearduct]

Yeah. He said he was changing his bandages.

[engineers]

[ yay!! he will do that, and takes out a second one, too. and ignore the fact that all of you desperately need therapy. ]

I brought one for Bloody Mary and Malibu, too, but if Bloody Mary doesn't want theirs, then you're welcome to it.

[engineers]

[ hands him the gloves with a flourish ]

Let's team up again, Detective Itto!

[nascens]

[Why is this manic tarantula so cute help.]

Understandable. I'm sure it'll have a good amount to enjoy, in that case, even if nine hours of it is cumbersome at best.

[hellscapes]

[ it is just exploring childe before jumping down to go back to bloody mary ]

Its one of a kind. I doubt you could find one like this for your brother.

[polyglotti]

[Don't try that on her, she can translate tough guy isms.

So she just smiles.]

You're really strong. Even knowing she'll be alright eventually, I'm still a little worried.

Beach

[hellscapes]

[ after a quick ferry ride, we arrive at the beach! lava laps at the shore and there is Sand Everywhere.

any initial ideas of where to look or what to look for? ]

[outsidebones]

[yeah listen she ain't going anywhere imagine i send her on an inves and she comes back like 'when are we going on the inves.']

Your assistance is appreciated.

[engineers]

[ hands her a pair of gloves... ]

Lin'll keep an eye on her.

[psynchronise]

[ did everyone get a lewd memory, ljh. is that what happened here? ]

[hellscapes]

[ rosé gets up from the bar with a little nod and leads them out to the ferry!

here we go! ]

[tearduct]

[Hair is fluffed. He raises his head.]

The best I could do is probably Weedy's.

[Oh. Nice. He will take this.]

[ontrend]

[jealous, date?]

[hardrocklife]

[he just immediately got himself a drink.]

This is going to be a long day, isn't it.

[psynchronise]

[ why, did you want to see his lewd memories kuranosuke? ]

[engineers]

It was a bonding experience.

[ lu bixing is not easily embarrassed so it didnt bother him that much but that's fine. also he leans over to say a little more quietly to not be distracting - ] You look cute today, Ryn!

[hellscapes]

[ understandable. sunset appears to be sketching out designs for what looks like a blazer? but they look up when kon asks and there's a nod. ]

Let me see... [ give them a moment, they will present him with a red queen. red wine, bourbon, amaro braulio, lemon juice, lemon slices, and syrup garnished with thyme, sage and rosemary sprigs. ] I'm afraid to add ginger and ruin the taste, but I did add a little more wine to balance.

[ontrend]

[only one of us here has 3x reaction time in the presence of smut, bud]
