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.

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!

Huh... not spread out enough to be running. What, was he just out for a stroll?

[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.

Chandra mentioned puncture wounds on his heel. We could always take one back for comparison.

[ lin jingheng it's a snake.



he is volunteering do it. is he allowed to do that :| i'm sorry ]

I'm sorry, you want to try to capture and bring back an animal that may or may not have envenomed someone to death? And you want us to tell Bixing we let you do that. Do not touch a snake.

[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.]

Dude, there won't be any need for that! Those stupid snakes bit me when I was stuck out here the other night, we can compare the look of them when we get back. Why did you think I was like "Damn, I hope not!" when they were asking if the bites were lethal?

[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?]

[personal profile] awol 2023-03-04 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Made your points.

[ and they're so unsatisfying. but yeah let's goโ€”it 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 :| ]

[personal profile] voidshift 2023-03-04 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Hurry then-

[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.]

...

[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?]
voidshift: (lowe9)

[personal profile] voidshift 2023-03-04 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[what the fuck!

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.]

[personal profile] awol 2023-03-04 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ what the entire fuck is this. he's going to text someone rq voice to text and pursues her i fucking guess to the beach where she's screaming, slowing down as he approaches her. ]

Heyโ€”screaming makes it worse.

[ he frowns! a little. ]

The hell happened? Why did you run from that house?

[personal profile] ontrend 2023-03-04 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[weird. time to check on the laptop computer over there! is it similarly busted up?

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.]
voidshift: (Default)

[personal profile] voidshift 2023-03-04 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[hmm. he'll look at the larger items since they're probably more noticeable?? so kuranosuke can take over the small ones. what are the large items?]
awol: omoknunyi @ twitter (095.)

[personal profile] awol 2023-03-04 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[ i hate this yeah he doesn't speak animalese. i guess body language should at least tell him she's frantic about? the hamster that's on fire? he looks over and frowns i feel like such an insane person.

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? ]

[personal profile] ontrend 2023-03-04 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[oh, hm.

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...]

[personal profile] voidshift 2023-03-04 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[he's leaving the weapon for now, because i have a very important question about the net. is the net part fully flat? like, looks like there's nothing in it?

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.]

[personal profile] awol 2023-03-04 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ oh good. love it. the lava sea... he will pivot and make his way to the floating bottle. how far out is it? can he just reach with am arm's length if he's fast enough and gets close enough to the lava without touching the lava itself (ow)?

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. ]

[he will pick up each of the feathers as he goes along... thinking back, does it seem like they might have matched the feathers of the bird that ran out of the house earlier?

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.]
voidshift: (Default)

[personal profile] voidshift 2023-03-04 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ok cool. he'll leave the net alone for now and move on to the weapon-- what do we have here?]
awol: sollamolla @ twitter (111.)

[personal profile] awol 2023-03-04 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ oh hell yeah thanks for my new recipe. i guess he'd read the message if he's allowed, or at least see who its from before scrambling away from the lava and glancing around the beach and at the. flaming hamster, crying bird, and boat mess one more time. is there anything else here? footprints? drag marks? pockets of blood in the sand :yeti:

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. ]
