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!

strip again

[voidshift]

[hello, today is saturday, which means it is time for everyone to strip. it is his least favorite activity.]

...all right. Think we'll need to do the same as usual, especially considering all the damage to that house and the blood on Zagreus's sword. Check for injuries, marks, anything else that's suspicious or otherwise out of place. If you were hurt this week then have someone familiar with them help take a look, and if you're familiar with anyone's injuries and when they got them, give us a hand where you can. We all know what the point is by now.

checks

[voidshift]

[come here for checking and so on]

[cavaliered]

[she doesn't take her clothes off this time, but she's got faint remainders of what look like bug bites all over her arms. she also has a few burns on her hands. she's wearing face paint! it looks like a skull. other than that she's got the same bruises and such she usually does, just from being a jock.]

[firstandgreatest]

[ oh boy okay well

- hes definitely very recently bruised all over lol
- he has a broken arm in a cast. it has a lot of signatures!
- he has a sewed-up hole (harpussy) on the other shoulder that goes all the way through
- he has a sewed-up hole right in between his shoulder blades but this one looks pretty well healed over by now
- some generalized punctures along his shoulders and sides that look healed over
- his knuckles have some quite old-looking cuts on them
- as always he has the red tattoos
- OH YEAH HE HAS RECENT BURNS ON HIS HANDS LOLOLOL
- god i think thats everything? jesus christ ]

[astika]

[chandra looks seriously like he's considering refusing for a few moments (especially given that no one else! in his cyoa group! is doing it!), but he glances over at uriel and will comply. it may or may not take him a while to remove his burned cloak and the rest of his clothes, though, seeing as how they're STICKING TO HIM thanks to a certain patdown.

it's hard to make out anything on his back given that his hair goes, like, all the way down to his knees, but front-wise:

- he has bandages wrapped completely around his abdomen and right arm/hand. he is not removing the bandages without being prompted
- along with strips of fabric used as makeshift bandages around his left shoulder and, to a lesser degree, random other areas (again, not removing anything)
- that last bit is probably because he clearly has a bunch of cuts all over his body, though the ones left uncovered aren't bleeding, at least
- aside from that, he has various bruises
- various burns
- burns of a different nature on his face
- parts of his skin that look. sort of like they melted a little? it's fine

anyway, as usual no touchy without permission, but do you really even want to knowing he's sticky.]

[ontrend]

[kuranosuke is wearing a wig with a ribbon, a choker, a cute top with jeans, and a cute pair of boots, and has done his makeup as usual. his nails are done as well.

he takes off his boots, top, and strapless padded bra, then rolls up the jeans as far as they'll go - which, they're skinny jeans, so that's like. just a little above his ankles.

he's got a couple of faint scrapes on the palms of his hands, but they look like they're healing. the large wraparound bruise from last week is much more faded by now, though there are still some traces of it and a smattering of darker bruises on his back and sides. they vary in size, and one of them in particular on his lower back is only partially visible, peeking up from the hem of his pants.

there are also a few sets of double puncture wounds - two on his left leg a bit above his ankles, one on his right bicep, and two on his left wrist. A single puncture mark is visible on the right side of his neck, close to the strap of the choker. they look like they're starting to heal over, though there is a bit of swelling and discoloration on each of them.]

[engineers]

[ here's lu bixing who seems glad for the distraction to be honest. he's tired of math memeing about angry snakes and saucy rabbit pictures and playing deaf to hamster murder

lbx will strip down to his underwear with little to no qualms or complaint! he's got some light bruising in varying fades but nothing especially notable. the injury on his shoulder from four's execution is consistent with two weeks of healing. the track marks on his right arm are all scars now and healed over, and his burn is basically gone. there's a lightly faded bite mark on his left shoulder and some lightly healing scratches down his back, both a couple days old.

he'll take off his eyepatch if you like, really want to ask but he won't do it right away just because it's ugly. that's it! ]

[awol]

[ gonna do this quick:

- fading bruises here and there throughout his body in a variety of stages of healing
- decently healed bullet wounds from w1 cyoa
- a few fading bruises on his hips
- a mark on the back of his neck
- a long-healed scar going from his neck to his chest
- he won't take off his pants :v

he just smokes the entire time, but cooperates. ]

[onlythans]

[He's basically the same as last week, which is to say largely unscathed minus some scattered minor bruises that would align with being a guy who fell into fucking memory holes multiple times over the course of the week. The bruise in the center of his chest from last week is fading nicely by now. There's no other wear and tear Ryn would find unusual at all.]

[toyska]

[Since there was evidence of a fight Childe will not complain about this one, even though he doesn't fit the shorty list.

As usual, he's got a bunch of bruises in a variety of shapes and sizes and levels of healing, as well as old scars, particularly the extra nasty one from arrival. He's not taking off his underwear so this will never leave bracket knowledge but I can tell you he definitely has ass bruises because of all the falling into memory holes.

Nothing looks particularly fresh and he doesn't have any like. New stitched up stab wounds or anything. Unless someone is about to stab me in a memshare thread in which case I will retcon this.]

[tearduct]

[He is wearing this shirt under a denim jacket, grey ripped jeans, a studded belt, and laced boots. When he takes the dog shirt off, he has a sheer over-shirt on beneath it with a black tank beneath that. He also has a necklace with a black pendant on it around his neck.

The bruises have mostly faded, but he still has nearly healed scab punctures on the backs of his shoulders. There are some fresher puncture marks at different places on his legs.]

[polyglotti]

[The wounds on her arm from last week have healed enough that she doesn't need to bandage them. They have scabs on them currently. She also has the big scar on her shoulder still.

For new things: She has a couple bruises on her elbows, one shoulder, a knee, her ass (please don't stare at her ass) and scuffed up (but not bleeding) hands.]

[reignite]

[ like the first few weeks, she won't undress just for anyone. only for some cr. she is dressed in her formal elegant uniform (right) clothes with white combat boots.

with acceptable cr, what they'll find at a glance are some extremely old scars here and there (dated YEARS+ old) but otherwise, she seems to be free of anything new. just some faint bruises. ]

[psynchronise]

[ for quick checking in purposes.

date's here, his shirt is off. wowee.
never mind i'm lying he has some bruising but for ease of everything it's constant with getting yote into memory holes all week so there's that. ]

[refate]

[ clearly not enthused with this, today, but he will allow ljh to check him up close (and if anyone wants to peek over they're allowed to). he's got his haori on again over his shoulders, but underneath is a sleeveless shirt that's almost a crop top on him and some capri looking pants. same sneakers as he's worn since getting them back.

underneath, after getting some help:

- his entire right shoulder and some of his torso, to keep it secure, is bandaged
- sticking out of the bandages, from his shoulder socket, is his bone arm. yeah that's still there
- acid burn splatter on the left - his face, neck, and remaining arm
- fire burns here and there, though not many (torso and hand)
- cuts and scrapes scattered everywhere (face, torso, arm, legs)
- bruised to hell and back, varying in age, mostly his back but scattered
- a cut on his left leg, mostly healed and over a week old

i think that's all of it. oh wait. anyone that gets close enough will be able to feel that he's extremely warm, essentially feverish. ]

[greatvalue]

[bends space and time--

Again this week, he takes off his shirt and rolls up his pants to about mid-thigh. All of his old scars are still there, on his face, torso, both arms and left leg. There is also scar, like a cut, on his left cheek under his eye, some light scarring on his knuckles and additional scarring from what appears to be flash burns on his right side.

The remains of a scabbed over stab wound can be found on right shoulder. A series of healed over puncture marks along his shoulders and sides. A messy, slightly lopsided scar right across his throat that looks like it might have been a deep cut once upon a time. Additionally, there are bruises on his elbows, knees and sides that range from very dark purple to green in terms of healing progress.]

[eleusinia]

[ quickly bends spacetime

like with patdown, persephone will only allow another girl to check her, but she shows no resistance from there. there are yellowish bruises on her shins and hands, and i guess she doesn't have the cut while check is taking place but that happened too so make of that what you will. ]

problems?

[voidshift]

[refusal/etc can go here]

[outsidebones]

[nah.]

[failbo]

[Not really a problem but Itto pretty much did this earlier because, well, what else is a patdown on someone that is all fur, really.

Had no results to inform about]

[nascens]

[gootbye]

[refate]
