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!

computer parts

[outsidebones]

...The pieces of metal and plastic found on Zagreus look to be parts from the computer. It isn't clear to me from the photograph precisely how the computers were destroyed, but it seems possible Zagreus did this with his sword, or in some other manner, and that is how the parts came to be on him.

Additionally, I suspect this to be irrelevant, but...there were crumpled photographs of rabbit creatures in that trash can. And a framed photograph of the same rabbit creatures. They appeared to be...prurient in nature.

[polyglotti]

These animals are committing more crimes that we are.

[She can excuse murder, but she draws the line at sexy rabbits.]

[outsidebones]

Despicable.

[engineers]

Prurient in nature....?

[ ew but also

math memeing a little ]

Itto said the animals were gossiping about someone being bullied out of town...

[firstandgreatest]

And hate crimes!

[engineers]

[ grips his good forearm ]

... You and Gideon might've done the world a favor.

[firstandgreatest]

I'm always doing the world a favor! Hah!

[outsidebones]

Ostracism is not bullying if it is just.

[refate]

The camera was a security camera, so in combination with the pictures... yeah, nah, this is warranted ostracism.

[engineers]

Oh my god, Itto and Gideon To Catch A Predator'd him.

[ mumbled

anyway ]

... Zagreus is a pretty upstanding guy, right? Did he already know that hamster was... like that?

[outsidebones]

I did not know him, so I cannot say.

[engineers]

[ help ]

Fair enough.

[failbo]

...well, he also didn't know what a phone is, so...there's a chance he wouldn't have known what the technology the hamster had was for, so I suppose not?

[Truthfully, Filbo only gets around half of it, but he can connect the dots from everything that was said. Zagreus wasn't stupid, if he got a few pieces of info, he would have figured things out too]

[engineers]

So, maybe someone who knew? Though, admittedly, if the pictures that were destroyed were just laying around... you don't have to be techy to put two and two together on that one.

[firstandgreatest]

[ OUR RANDOM KILLING WAS TOTALLY RETROACTIVELY JUSTIFIED THIS TRULY IS A NOTT SITUATION ]

[greatvalue]

[PRURIENT...]

[outsidebones]

[she nods grimly.]

[greatvalue]

Ew.

[failbo]

Any idea if the destruction of that stuff was, uh, collateral damage from a fight, or if Zagreus for some reason was...destroying everything before getting murdered?

[Look, after the events of the last three weeks he doesn't rule out Zagreus for some reason decided to go destroy computers belonging to a pervy hamster and the culprit came across him and took a chance to murder.

Anything is possible]

[outsidebones]

I would assume a fight occurred there, personally. But I will not rule out that someone was offended by the rabbit pornography on display.
