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!

[All three of them get a nod in greeting today wrow hewwo. He'll be moving to stand near Bloody Mary though wherever Childe is Not Standing, sparing the tarantula a passing glance.]

Charming.

[hellscapes]

[ their posse of genshins... ]

It wanted to see the proceedings for itself. [ the tarantula waves. it's fine. ]

[nascens]

[Their posse of genshins and one single tarantula... He waves back. It's fine.]

I hope it's prepared for what's sure to be yet another mess.

[hellscapes]

It enjoys trainwrecks. It's why it wanted to come in the first place.

[ the tarantula bobs its body as a nod. ]

[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 has a surprising amount of patience for foolishness. More than myself.

[ the tarantula bobs again as a nod. ]

[nascens]

A very beneficial skill to have in a place like this. I'm almost envious.

[A SIGH like he is so very put-upon for not having the patience of steel like this tarantula.]

[hellscapes]

I wouldn't be too envious. Its patience has a lot to do with optimism.

[ which is Disgusting ]

[nascens]

Oh.

[SWEET TARANTULA WHY.]

To each their own, I guess...

[hellscapes]

It's a character flaw I'm working on.

[ the tarantula does look offended at that. ]

[nascens]

[He just glances between the two of them...]

I think your friend disagrees.

[hellscapes]

[ wild tarantula gesturing ]

Yes. It's one of our many disagreements.

[ IGNORING THE TARANTULA BEING OFFENDED ]

[nascens]

[This tarantula is full of so many opinions. He just nods slowly.]

I see. I guess a good disagreement or two helps to keep things interesting, at least.

[hellscapes]

I suppose.

[ they are looking witheringly at their own tarantula, like it having opinions is rude to them personally ]

[nascens]

[Let the tarantula be free and opinionated, Bloody Mary. Let them be a wild optimistic rebel of a tarantula who enjoys a good trainwreck.]

[hellscapes]

[ no they want it to be a good follower, god ]
