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!

[Keeps looking tiredly at the tarantula from the very far opposite side of where Blood Mary is.

Stopping by Rosé to say,] They look nice. [Of course they do.

Puts his head down on the bar in front of Malibu.]

Drink me.

[Say it another way.]

[hellscapes]

[ they avert their eyes. shyly? who's to say. ]

... Thanks. But I know that, obviously.

[tearduct]

[Shy...]

I know, but it's good to hear other people say it. For him, right? I'll get them after unless someone else does first.

[hellscapes]

[ they nod. ]

I figured you'd take them.

[tearduct]

Thinking ahead. Smart. Tired of running around for me?

[He's teasing.]

[hellscapes]

[ an aggravated SIGH ]

Yes, I am!

[tearduct]

[Trying not to smile or laugh.]

But no one would be able to appreciate your flowers if I didn't...

[hellscapes]

I would still appreciate them. Or are you saying I'm not enough?

[tearduct]

[remains willfully ignorant of things oocly bc it's funny for me]

You're enough. But they look good on display, right? And then you can smell them when you walk by too.

[hellscapes]

[ oh no he's meeting my incredibly low standards of 'seems to have sincere appreciation for flowers' ]

... Yeah, whatever. Where are you thinking of putting them?

[tearduct]

[ROSE pick up the bar]

Not sure yet. Maybe the common room, so people can see them when they go by? I don't know. I'm not great at this sort of thing.

[hellscapes]

[ it's fine most people still don't manage to make it. ]

That's a good place to get eyes on them, but it's kind of ugly... Can't you think of somewhere prettier to put them?

[tearduct]

[Damb, just called ugly, their place of living and congregation.]

Uh... Here? [He can't think of a single place he's been suddenly.] The bar in the new place looks sorta nice?

Or... the library?

[hellscapes]

[ sigh. idiot... ]

At least buy me dinner first. [ lightly teasing, but they use one hand to kind of fluff his hair up before going about making a brandy alexander, which is brandy, cognac, creme de cacao and cream. ]

[tearduct]

[Hair is fluffed. He raises his head.]

The best I could do is probably Weedy's.

[Oh. Nice. He will take this.]

[hellscapes]

[ enjoy your drink and hair-fluff i guess. ]

Everyone's best is different. [ but they seem to think of something else and shake their head. ] Consider it a freebie then.

[tearduct]

[The bar is in the ground here.]

I feel like there is actually a tab I don't know about you'll spring on me later.

[hellscapes]

[ look.

also yeah they kind of laugh at that. ]

That's part of the fun~ Don't worry, I'm sure you'll think of some way to repay me.

[ is this a joke? are they serious? who can say. ]

[tearduct]

[Hmmm. :thinking:]

I'll stand up and show you the dog shirt.

[hellscapes]

[ a tilt of their head. ]

It was a pretty cute photo. [ but... ] Let me dress you up again later.

[tearduct]

[Seems begrudgingly amused.]

If you want, okay. I meant, I wore it today.

[hellscapes]

[ this is how akira dies someday. what are they going to do, say no? ]

Seriously? Why? [ don't sound so delighted, you fuck. but they gesture to akira to stand up. show them! the shirt! ]

[tearduct]

My other stuff was getting worn out?

[Did they want him to wear the same two shirts and pants for weeks...? He stands up to part the jean jacket and show the shirt.]

[hellscapes]

[ no. no they did not. but akira stands up and shows the shirt which means that malibu's clapping and also snapping a photo to send to someone. ]

The jacket's a nice touch. [ hehehe. ]

[tearduct]

[Truly feeling like an egg on display. Very quickly covers himself with the jacket again, embarrassed.]

It's comfortable.
