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!

EVIDENCE CHECKS

[hellscapes]

[ Not far from the body altar sits a smaller altar, light shining on it for easier investigations. Reply here if your character would like to examine any of the evidence found so far. ]

[outsidebones]

[looks at the bits of metal and plastic. what's this?]

[hellscapes]

[ it is ... broken metal and plastic. the plastic is black and the metal seems to vary in colors a little. but it's very broken. ]

[ontrend]

[checking out the scroll from zagreus's body! what's obvious at a glance, other than that it's just half a scroll? anything written on it? stains? liquids? etc?]

[hellscapes]

[ when kuranosuke begins to examine the scroll, he will see that it appears to be ripped in half? the remaining half that he has has a list. ]

[psynchronise]

[ roomie privileges. he's going to nose at zagreus' phone. is it locked? ]

[hellscapes]

[ nosy...

anyway no, the phone is not locked! but its home and lock screen is a picture of cerberus. ]

glass shards

[hardrocklife]

[hey, let's look at the glass. how much glass is there? any blood or other distinct stains, marks, stuff mixed in with the glass bits?]

[hellscapes]

[ there's no blood or any other kind of marks on the glass shard. but the glass itself is pretty dark! otherwise it looks like shattered glass. there's maybe a handful or two of it. ]

BLACK CLOAK

[engineers]

[ lbx is going to go check this cloak with the remains of his sanity. tell me about what we can see on first glance here. ]

[hellscapes]

[ he can see that it is... a black cloak! it's kind of sandy. ]

[teufelshund]

[ let's look at gideon and itto's eternal shame


no jk let's look at the pen. i guess he's going to shock himself on this too, hopefully that doesn't somehow make the whole thing explode on him.

is this a standard pen you'd see everywhere or no? ]

[hellscapes]

[ they didn't bring back the hamster body :(

but yeah it's just a regular pen. nothing special!

the pen gives him a little zap ]

[engineers]

[ with the cloak check - including scaramouche based on a partial fit + nerdy engineer math, including lbx himself + i guess zag...s...body.... please

who on the list fits the cloak the best in terms of a traditional long cloak fit? i dont know how to word this but you know what i mean.]

[hellscapes]

[ It's a cloak, so it can be draped over anyone and still 'fit'! but as far as length:

The cloak reaches the ankles on: Persephone, Tuuri, Uriel, and Chandra!
The cloak reaches the calves on: Akira, Kuranosuke, Hunter, Thancred, Zelgadis, and Zagreus!
It's just past the knees on: Lu Bixing, Gideon, Date, Childe, Filbo, Kon, Lin Jingheng, and Rynlan!

It barely reaches Itto's knees. ]

feathers

[cavaliered]

[can gideon look over the feathers? anything strange about them? how big are they?]

[hellscapes]

[ they're white feathers! there are four of them, and they're somewhat larger feathers. they aren't all the same size, but they are comparable to each other at a glance. ]

bottle note

[astika]

[just to make sure, does the handwriting in the bottle note match the handwriting on the scroll]

trash camera

[refate]

[ coming to rummage in the trashcan, and wanting to take a look at this specifically when he locates it. what's the sitch how's it damaged. ]

trash can

[outsidebones]

[what is in this trash can

also does any of it or the photos of the damaged computer parts match the metal and plastic?]

glass shards (house)

[voidshift]

[checking these out! carefully, with gloves. what is the state of the shards.]

zagreus sword (house)

[reignite]

[ since she's seen it before, what's the state of it? from a glance. ]

kuranosuke's nemesis (aka the snake from the house)

[ontrend]

[is it still hanging out with malibu? can he come check it out?]

comparison - zag's sword + blood on the bit of paper from the house hole

[ontrend]

[are they about the same color? or does the blood on zag's sword seem more like Person Blood?]

[greatvalue]

[slam dunks a foot check against the footprints at the bar. zagreus included.]
