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 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.
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!

the bar counter has some broken glass... this one seems to come from a glass that used to have a drink in it.
the furniture, much like the doors, looks like it's been smashed and slashed both. in a lot of cases it's upturned from where it would be. there doesn't seem to be any real rhyme or reason to the patterns...also because it's persephone, looking at the furniture she'll also note that the large plants that were in the corners have been sliced off and scattered on the ground. rip ]
no subject
The slashes are only on the side of the doors that face outward, right? He will take a closer look just to make sure there's nothing caught behind/under the doors, in the damaged bits or in the hinges.
Also looking at the floor around the doors, the walls the ceiling to make sure they're not. Similarly fucked up.]
no subject
[ well. ok. he'll set his own glass down and have a look at this broken glass -- is there any trace of liquid in it? or is the whole thing shattered?
anything else of note on the bar itself? and then what about behind it? he's gonna just... hoist himself up to lean over and have a look over the business side of the thing. ]
On the bright side, you sleeping here means you might be able to tell if something's weird. Aside from the whole "whirlwind of destruction" thing.
no subject
I get that they were probably collateral damage, but come on, show some respect!
[ while she's at it, she'll try and flip any of the upturned furniture back over—if they're too big for her to handle alone, she'll ask one of the boys to help. if there's nothing else to do with the furniture, she'll move toward the plants... other than the sliced-off bits, anything weird here? ]
no subject
the whole thing is shattered but there's a little bit of liquid nearby, which is how he can tell it used to be a glass for a drink. also because it looks like the drink glasses, but sometimes you are in a text based medium and you do your best. if he looks behind the bar, date will see that there is a Tolerable Beer (tm) missing from the row where they can be grabbed usually.
there's nothing much about the furniture besides the fact that it was Fucked Up(tm). the plants are sliced and scattered from their usual places, but there's nothing else to them. or in them. ]
no subject
Let's see if we can distinguish between the "whirlwind of chaos" and whatever was done intentionally.
[Is there an epicenter to the broken glass? Or is it just strewn all across the room haphazardly? What kind of types of glass are in the mix, also?
Is there blood in any of the slashes on the walls? Or blood anywhere as he carefully walks around the room, scanning the floor when he approaches the walls? He'll also glance at the stone pillars and statues for any damage.]
no subject
[ oop.
well he's going to straight up hop the bar now, have a proper look over here. he's going to... he's going to sniff the liquid. does it smell like beer...? ]
There's a beer missing from back here. I'll let the other know.
no subject
Are you thinking some of this was staged?
[ weird. i don't think it matters but persephone can probably tell what exactly the plants are so like, we can have that, i guess. and just double checking, no blood or glass with the plants or furniture? she will also take pictures for reference.
besides that, she will accompany date at the bar. like last week, she's pretty familiar with the drinks of the week—can she tell what the mystery liquid is by also sniffing? ]
no subject
but paying attention to the ground hunter will see that there's something that looks like dirt under some of the broken glass. it almost looks... foot sized.
date can smell the liquid next to the broken glass! it smells.... like dirt. the broken glass also smells like dirt. there's nothing else really out of place in the bar area.
there is no blood with the plants or furniture, but there is some glass. in the same way there is kind of glass everywhere. the plants are (looks at the locations page) "large, healthy plants". look it's just the plants that have been here all week i got nothing
but persephone has been drinking a lot this week so she can specifically sniff that the dirt liquid might be Bad Luck. ]
no subject
[Ah. Feet(?) crimes... He takes a picture of them first. Is he able to open his foot mind palace and compare his own feet to the prints, assuming they're clear enough for that?
And just to confirm: The dirt is all under the glass, not on top of it?]
no subject
All right, well. I'm gonna grab one of these beers, seeing as one was definitely missing. I've only been drinking the beer this week-- but did any of the other drinks smell like dirt?
[ because wow.
dirt smell. ]
no subject
[ do not ask how she knows this, but she is pretty certain. wrapping up with the bar, she moseys on over to where hunter has discovered The Foot in order to give a second comparison...
but she's wearing sandals, and there is glass on the floor, and the dice were not very kind to me. it's not a huge piece of glass she steps on, but it's enough to get her to bleed. of note: her blood is a warm yellow. ]
Ow, sugar snaps, that hurts! Why did I think going somewhere where there was definitely going to be broken glass in flats would be a great idea...
no subject
now there is blood next to the footprints. thanks persephone. hopefully it doesn't mix in. ]
no subject
[AHHHH HER PEET!!!! He quickly takes off his shirt and offers it to her so she can. Wrap up her foot or something. He's panic. But also he kind of makes a barricade with the glass he picked off the footprints to shield them from the blood. Trust nothing.
Can he get a good measurement for both the footprints? He will compare against his feet and take down some notes so they can run a foot check later.]
Date, can you make sure there's nothing under the furniture either?
no subject
date's looking under the furniture for anything and if it's there he's grabbing it.
i, becks, am hustling. ]
no subject
[ you know what. she's going to take advantage of this. she pushes hunter's shirt away as she steps on some more glass, purposely this time. ]
Hunter, Date, get your cameras ready.
[ with that, she presses her now very bloody foot down next to the first set of prints, wincing as she puts pressure on it. she lifts it to leave an almost perfect impression of her foot for direct comparison, then does the same thing for the other set, blinking back tears as she does so. ]
no subject
but yes you could get a good size comparison with just notes and their own feet. yay!
there's nothing under the furniture.
bloody mary looks over at the commotion ]
Did you seriously get injured. Honestly. One of you pick her up when you're ready to leave.
[ they look so judgmental ]
no subject
He's gonna take picture to commemorate Persephone's sacrifice and then just. Scoop her up if she'll allow it?? Or offer her support so she can be stubborn and walk. Either one is fine. Farewell, cursed bar.]
no subject
I can walk just fine, it's okay, let's just get back to the others already.
