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!

[He likes Zel well enough so he will not put up a fuss about this but it's not very exciting:

- Mini Seelie, who is vibing over his shoulder as usual
- Phone
- Dorm key

That's it!!]

[firstandgreatest]

Yo! Pat down time. That cool?

[toyska]

[ :( ]

[toyska]

[jk he can't tell there's no brackets

But yeah sure he can it's whatever. A patdown reveals a very nice jacket that's much better quality than the shitty beer cloak

...but otherwise there are no suspicious lumps or obvious tears or anything.]

[firstandgreatest]

[im glad childe isnt wearing the ez cosplay version of his own outfit

great, cool cool cool. he's also checking clothes for anything like torn or messed up or stained, or extra pockets or anything. ]

[toyska]

[Oh shit yeah sorry I forgot to mention he's actually wearing this

But nothing notably stained or torn. This is probably unrealistic considering how much he fights but whatever maybe he's just really good at dodging. If Itto looks really closely he will indeed find some hidden pockets, but there's nothing in them and they are also unstained and undamaged.]

[hardrocklife]

[- checking the phone and keys! any scuffs, stains, cracks, or anything that would stand out?

Then he just... looks at the seelie.]

What is that, anyway?

[toyska]

[Childe has no problem handing the key over; Zel can also look at the phone because he doesn't seem like the type to start nosily going through it but if he does for some reason Childe will snatch it back.

Otherwise no, nothing of note! The phone and key probably have some normal wear and tear--maybe a little extra on the phone in the "I'm a fighter and also I don't know proper phone care" way, but no significant cracks or bloodstains or anything.

Seelie says (vaguely high-pitched cooing noises)]

It's a Seelie. [That's not helpful] Or--something like it, anyway. Usually you run into them out in the wilderness, I'm not really sure why it ended up here with me.

[The answer is because I thought it was funny]

[hardrocklife]

[Honestly, the phone probably doesn't even respond to his rock fingies.

Hm. He looks like he's thinking of touching the Seelie, then thinks better of it.]

Some kind of animal? Or a spirit...?

[toyska]

[He can try if he wants, but it will tragically pop out of existence :( ]

Something like a spirit, I think. I know the legends say they were an ancient race, but I don't really know the details.
