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!

[for reports after checking for reference!]

itto

[astika]

Itto does have recent bruises, but a plausible explanation for them, at least. His cast is also banged up, since he's... apparently been testing how much it can endure. I didn't request for him to take it off.

[he looks tired.]

Other than that and the burns he seemed to have received today, everything else looks old.

[outsidebones]

He is also rather taller than would be plausible for wearing the cloak, and I believe that Itto is likely too stupid to have plotted to frame someone smaller.

[astika]

I can't disagree with that.

[firstandgreatest]

I could have totally plotted to frame someone smaller!!!

[astika]

Well, did you?

[firstandgreatest]

[ imagine if i was just like yes :) ]

No! But I could have!

[outsidebones]

You cannot even plausibly lie about killing a hamster...

[firstandgreatest]

I didn't kill the hamster, dude! We harpooned his boat and then he incidentally sank into lava and died!

[ wait ]

Forget I said that!

[astika]

Manslaughter is still a sin...

[teufelshund]

Hamslaughter.

[psynchronise]

[cavaliered]

[sorry this is the funniest thing she's ever heard]

[engineers]

[ lets out a slightly hysterical laugh and puts his face in his hands to muffle it ]

[cavaliered]

It wasn't a man. Are you trying to defend the pervert hamster?

[polyglotti]

chandra

[voidshift]

Akira says Chandra's injuries do look the same as when he saw them the other day, and I don't see anything that looks inconsistent with that, personally. Didn't remove all of the bandaging, but if he's... sticky, I'd guess it's less likely to change it all out easily.

[astika]

[chandra is not going to personally mention that akira only saw, like, half of his injuries on thursday because that doesn't help him, but he's thinking it.]

[voidshift]

[tbh this is why he's just putting it out there that he did not ask to see under All the bandages because he's not pushing his luck with chandra.]

[tearduct]

[shut]

kuranosuke

[voidshift]

Kuranosuke's covered in snake bites, for one thing, from being outside on Thursday night-- but if Zagreus could have been killed by one and he's fine, then what happened?

Bruising seems pretty consistent with the-- hole problem this week, scrapes on his hands that he says are also from being lost on Thursday.

lu bixing

[voidshift]

Do I even need to mention bruising at this point, if it's nothing that seems out of place-- we've all been falling into holes. Nothing strange, anyway.

lin jingheng

[voidshift]

Same as Lu Bixing, nothing that I'd consider out of place for the week.

hunter

[voidshift]

Nothing that looks like it's inconsistent with this week or with previous injuries for Hunter, either.

not participating

[voidshift]

As usual-- nothing for Mephisto, Scaramouche, Zelgadis, or Harrow. Filbo's already been subject to the patdown, seems like we can just go back if anything needs a closer look.
