WEEK THREE - TRIAL

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 Rosรฉ. 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.
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!

at first look, just glancing, there's nothing off about the houses are the beginning of the neighborhood. this includes any signs of struggle, etc ]
no subject
[well.
with the sand flaking off and nothing blatantly obvious about the houses at the beginning of the neighborhood, it's time to head further in! any weirdness in the yards? busted-down doors? doors just left open? broken or open windows? he'll glance down at the ground and scan his surroundings from time to time to make sure he doesn't miss anything he should be able to see and to avoid tripping over anything.]
...better not run into any more of those damn snakes.
no subject
[ lin jingheng it's a snake.
he is volunteering do it. is he allowed to do that :| i'm sorry ]
no subject
[if you touch a fucking snake i swan to john.
anyway, as kuranosuke looks at more houses, ryn is also perceiving them but he's keeping an eye out around them as well. random items tend to be lying around but he's looking for any that seem like they might not belong here or like they're positioned oddly compared to other random items.]
no subject
however, as they venture through the neighborhood, suddenly they'll hear the sound of quickly-running steps as a tiny bird runs directly out of a house. she leaves the door open just slightly, fretting and worrying as she dashes right past the group. ]
no subject
[anyway. onward!
...oh yikes. kuranosuke looks torn between chasing after the bird to make sure she's okay and snooping in the house, but ultimately decides - ]
...I'm gonna head in there. Should one of us follow her?
[into the house he goes! he'll push the door open enough to get in, then steps off to the side once he's in there so someone can follow him if they choose to. what's in the house at first sight?]
no subject
[ and they're so unsatisfying. but yeah let's goโit has nothing to do with anything rylan said even though he gets one of those cat-like squints like rude.
in any case yeah ]
I'll catch her. See why she's running.
[ he's gonna leave ryn to follow after kura and will just book it right after the bird person :| ]
no subject
[he's Not in enough shape to haul ass after the bird.]
...if he finds a snake while he's gone, it isn't our fault.
[following kura into the house, carefully, to make sure they're not stepping on anything.]
no subject
what would they like to do first?
ljh, meanwhile, begins to run after the tiny bird. she quickly runs toward the beach where she soon spots a dead and still possibly on fire hamster.
she opens her little bird mouth, and begins to scream in her high-pitched voice, body shaking as she worries. ]
no subject
[uh. the fuck.
kuranosuke's going to go check out the desktop computer over on the right. is it functional? is the screen on? if it is - what's onscreen?]
no subject
he pulls out his phone to take a photo of the state of the house before they touch anything. is it still well-lit enough to see decently in here with the condition it's in, because he's going to start checking out the items all over the floor. if it's dim in here he's using his phone flashlight and just having his hair tentacles hold the phone for him.]
no subject
Heyโscreaming makes it worse.
[ he frowns! a little. ]
The hell happened? Why did you run from that house?
no subject
meanwhile, the bird begins to explain. she is frantic! however, because this is an animal crossing bird, ljh cannot understand what she's trying to say :( she's mourning over the loss of her hamster friend, and she drops into the sand with him. she looks down the beach sadly, then out to the slowly sinking boat in the lava as she cries. ]
no subject
if it isn't, he'll examine the laptop. if it is, he'll check on whichever thing rynlan doesn't look at - either the larger items or the smaller ones.]
no subject
no subject
right now he really wants to just throw in the towel here. this is absolute bullshit. he just squints at her and taps out a cigarette and uh... uh he leaves... that's. above his paygrade. he'll probably take a bit to sweep of the path he followed after the weird mourning bird person to see if there's anything distinct like torn cloth or anything glinting weirdly like broken glass on the ground at all.
or idk any snakes? :thonk:
aaand then he will head back to her house where kuranosuke and ryn are, and probably have a poke around the perimeter to look for any broken windows/glass around the exterior of the house? ]
no subject
there are two larger items on the ground amongst the wreckage. one is closer to the wall than the other, so the first object rynlan sees appears to be a bug catcher's net. at a glance, he may see something that looks like a weapon on the ground as well.
she is absolutely upset about the hamster on fire, yeah. ljh probably won't be able to head back to the house just yet, because since he's sweeping the path of the beach and where the bird was he'll spot what appears to be a glass bottle threatening to drift back out to sea. ]
no subject
kuranosuke will take pictures of the placement of the glass shards, the blood droplets, and the trail, then pick up the glass shards and the soft and white thing. he'll give it a glance to get a general idea of what it is, and then will move to follow the trail of blood to the back of the house. where does it lead...]
no subject
if the answer to this is that it looks like there IS potentially something in it or he can't tell, he's cautiously nudging the net frame with his left foot. if not then he's carefully turning the net part inside out.]
no subject
come here bottle! mine! also he's wearing gloves so i guess maybe that might help a little with heat from the bottle? or they might catch fire idk, either way priority is grabbing it even if he has to climb something to get a little further out. i hope the recipe is good. ]
no subject
the net is flat! there is nothing in the net itself. it looks fine, it doesn't look like there's anything wrong with it.
meanwhile, ljh is able to snatch the bottle without burning his hand. the bird continues to cry about her dead friend somewhere down the beach, and when ljh opens the bottle he's going to find a letter. ]
no subject
and hmm. back wall, huh? he'll knock on it in a couple of different places to see if it seems solid or if this might be on of those like, hidden door/sneaky disguised wall situations.]
no subject
no subject
anything else out in the lava if he glances out at it? pockets of cooled off areas at all?
otherwise THEN he will make his way back to the house. ]
no subject
rynlan, meanwhile, finds a sword? this is definitely a sword. there is some more garbage thrown about, including an actual garbage can tucked out of the way. on occasion, the machines will spark and flicker due to the damage taken.
ljh does not find anything else of note on the beach, so he can go back to the house now just in time for whatever the hell is going on here. ]
