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's like visibly sparkling. like if he was a dog he'd have a tail wagging. sorry this is cooler than everything in the entire world ever. ]

This is a completely and utterly bad time to ask you them, but when today is over, I have about a hundred questions I want to ask you.

[ WOW!!! NEAT!!!! to his little friend of complicated mouth clicks -] It's very nice to meet you. Thank you for joining us, today, friend! I'll work on my accent to try and speak your name correctly, alright? I'm Lu Bixing.

-- Not really related, do you like sweets, Bloody Mary? I'd offer to your friend, too, but I'm not sure that what I have would be good for an all carnivorous diet. Then again, I've never met this kind of tarantula, before.

[hellscapes]

[ they stare at his excitement like it is contagious. ]

... It's a special kind of tarantula.

[ but also, after a pause ]

What about me made you think I could like sweets? I'd like to know so I can eliminate it.

[ the tarantula just shrugs. yeah. ]

[engineers]

[ help. this gets him to laugh. ]

Absolutely nothing, but I want to make sure that I offered, still. What about less sweet things, like sesame sweets? If your friend likes them, though, I'd be happy to offer it a little piece?

[hellscapes]

Don't you have a murder to solve?

[ stop offering them things??? it is illegal???

the tarantula kind of crawls to the other shoulder. just for fun. it doesn't look interested in food, though. ]

[engineers]

I do, and I'm going to.

[ but he will set out another cookie wrapped in wax paper like he did for rose! it's a sesame cookie. ] Here. Scaramouche liked these ones. If you don't want it, you're more than welcome to give it to someone else, though.

[ with a smile he will wave to them! and to the tarantula. ]

[nascens]

[SHOOTING HIM A LOOK LIKE KEEP MY NAME OUT OF YOUR COOKIE-MAKING MOUTH.]

[tearduct]

[Roomie liked cookies hehe.]

[engineers]

[toyska]

[lmao]

[psynchronise]

[ moose your hidden mini marshmallow centre? ]

[hellscapes]

[ they do not wave back. the tarantula does. but they do take the cookie like it is a dangerous bomb. ]

[engineers]

Why are you all like this...

[hellscapes]

You have given me no reason to trust you.

[ they'll say it. bluntly. ]

[engineers]

[ HELP HE'S MAKING A PIKASHOOK FACE

but...okay..... ]

....Fair enough, I guess? Do you want me to take a piece of it first and eat it?

[hellscapes]

[ they give him such a Look ]

Even if you had poisoned it, I'm immune to most poisons.

[engineers]

...Why do I feel like I'm getting deja vu...

[ using his cookie making eye (singular) to look at scaramouche......

anyway........ ]

Just try it, then! If you hate it, that's fine.

[hellscapes]

If you keep insisting on it, I'll throw it in the trash.

[ they will eat it on their own time, MAYBE. ]

[engineers]

Haha, okay, okay. I'll grab a drink and give Malibu theirs, and be on my way. Murders to solve.

[ they get a little salute too! im not going to start a third thread but malibu gets a cookie also. ]

[hellscapes]

[ does not salute. again.

the tarantula does. ]
