WEEK FIVE - TRIAL
Hello, deadlings. Ready to work double-time?
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, Cosmopolitan and Midori. 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. And he looks ready to fall apart.
The second, fresher Fieri is also still here. Why.
Above them hangs another hand-painted banner, sloppily thrown together.
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 sixth trial! Over the course of the next nine hours, characters will have the opportunity to discuss, investigate and theorize about this week's murders! Characters will have time to examine the bodies 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!
QUESTIONS
Bloody Mary is for once sitting at the bar! This is probably because she's a lot shorter and less imposing standing now that she is out of costume, but she's easy to recognize by her similar color palette. Thing is hanging out on top of the bar next to the book she's currently reading.
Cosmopolitan is sitting in the palms of one of the tallest statues, but this is probably easier because he's a little dog. He also appears to have a basket up there with him that he's leaning on, watching everyone below with a friend in his arms.
Midori is sitting on top of the bar because she is too little to see over it otherwise and this time her shadow isn't carrying her. Instead he is standing behind the bar, shaking a drink mixer to signal that these two will be your bartender today, filling in for the twins.
If you wish to stop by and ask them something, you may do so. Please specify one or two demons you are addressing. ]

@engineer001: Are there any signs of chemical burns on Kon? Zelgadis found a broken test tube with an E on it near the fire.
He had a collection of a few chemicals in his room the last time I went in there, and ethanol is highly flammable.

kon body
It appears Kon was killed by wounds to his back. There were a large number of wounds on his back, apparently stab wounds made with some sort of blade. They are messy and vary in depth. None of them appeared immediately fatal; he likely bled out from the number of injuries he incurred.
[though it's still not clear what caused the injury.]
He also had a rather deep cut on his forearm, which would have bled. On his hand, there was a scuff on the palm. Quite large - starting at the bottom, but spreading towards his fingertips. The fingertips themselves were burned, quite seriously in places - blistering and damaged.
That was all I noted on his body. His clothes were also dirtied on the front and bloodied on the back, though I did not examine those thoroughly.
[ryo and itto may explain clothes and boots here if they wish.]
We will wish to do a weapon check to determine what sort of weapon likely made the fatal wounds. It appears to me that Kon may have fallen to the ground and, in bracing himself, injured his palm and burned his fingertips, so that may give us some indication wear the murder occurred.

Like Harrow said, we've got a lot of injuries on Kon and there's going to be a weapon out there that made them.
You all know the drill by now, we're running a weapon check.

FOREST BIOME
Alright, so. When we first arrived at the biome area, we saw a trail of blood drips that led into the forest biome, and when we opened the door, there was a fire, just like we thought. It was consolidated to one spot near the door, and Zelgadis said it smelled a little like wine, which makes me think it might be ethanol…? There were broken test tubes like I mentioned in the text, too - one with an E, and then one with an L. The E tube was near the fire, along with a piece of burnt wool.
There were lots of footprints, but it was kind of hard to tell because they were so chaotically arranged, like it was during a scuffle, or at least a chase, but as far as I can tell, there was a pretty wide range. Kon’s pretty tall, so, there’s that to keep in mind. I took as many pictures as I could, if someone else wants to take a crack at it. Zelgadis also found a bit of pink gooey liquid in one of the footprints near the fire - we’re pretty sure it’s strawberry ice cream - and then, there was some blood over by the ice cream shop as far as we could see, too.
[ so yeah go inves team!! ]
Beyond that, we found a spudger buried in the dirt - likely from his tool kit - among all the footprints. That’s where the L tube was, and there was a piece of coal, too. I followed the footprints over to near the window, and found an impact in the dirt - I think it was where someone fell, likely Kon. There was a lot of blood soaked into the spot, and I found his phone, which - I think I know the passcode to. [ he glances over at dva wherever she is when he says this, and then back to the crowd. ] If we wanted to try it.
And - we also found something a little strange. On the glass of the window, there was a shape, sort of like a reversed L. I’ll draw a picture of it, and I took a picture, too, but it was kind of hard to get a good shot. It was made of something white and powdery, with a little liquid. We grabbed a sample of the white powder. There were also fingerprints, at either end of the L - the prints were roughly the same size as mine, if not a little bigger. I took a print of my own to compare the size, so we can at least check Kon’s to see if he was the one who made it.
[ so. there you have it, though, after, he adds, a little more tiredly: ]
And...please don’t mess around with the chemicals too much. I can go check them out and try and figure out what they are, but we should really just assume they're dangerous and take extreme caution.
[ ok that's all ]

[ feetsies... ]
Maybe we can get Itto to taste whatever the white powder is.

my chemical romance........
Chemicals "E", "L" and "C" are ethanol, liquid sodium hydroxide, and chloroform. Liquid sodium hydroxide is also known as lye. It's extremely caustic, and can give off heat when reacting with moisture in the air, which can be enough to light a fire if placed near a flammable material. It's likely the cause of the burns on his fingers. That could be why the coal was near it, but... honestly, I have more questions about this than anything else. It wouldn't be a bad idea to look for chemical burns - and I think we should check people's clothing, as well, just in case. It could burn through almost anything if it's exposed for long enough.
That being said, the fire in the biome was from the ethanol based on the wine smell. And then Chemical C... I don't know if we've found any chloroform anywhere but on his body, yet, but I think most of us know what that does. If you inhale it for too long, it acts as an anesthetic that will knock someone unconscious.
All three test tubes were still full, so these may have just been backups.

ICE CREAM SHOP🍦
I think Itto is having an allergic reaction, do we have anything to help that?
[ anyways... ]
Well the ice cream shop was a mess, ice cream was everywhere and it was horribly sticky. There was a blood trail leading outside of the shop and towards the biome, as well as foot prints in the ice cream, that also led outside the shop.
There was blood splatters on the counter, which appeared to have come from a pretty sizable cut, as well as a few splatters on the ground in the same area. Those were the same size and shape as the counter splatters, but they seemed to be mixed with something sugary sticky? But it wasn't ice cream, so it could be strawberry syrup.
Found another test tube as well, behind the counter, this one has a C on it.
I'm guessing everything started there, then moved to the biome outside, considering the blood trail.

get naked for justice
...Alright, well. With the information we have, let's do like we normally do and check for injuries. Please expect to be checked by more than one pair of eyes, and be cooperative. Answer questions to the best of your abilities. If you have a special request about who checks you, I'd ask at this point to allow more than one person to do so. I'm happy to check anyone, judgement free.

Three of the smaller costumes had dirt on the bottom, around the ankles, and one of the larger ones. A bear, mouse, and hamster for the smaller size, squirrel for the larger. I found them in a pile of discarded costumes; if anyone was seen wearing those last night, I'd appreciate if one of you would say so.
Besides that-- there was blood on the floor, near one of the walls. Not a large puddle, but someone seemed to have dripped blood there. I posted a photo if you need to see it.

RESULTS
The lights in the bar rise up, allowing everyone to take a closer look around them. The demons are still on their phones texting as a spotlight shines on Tuuri.
She's allowed to have a moment to say something to the group. But as soon as it's over, Midori's shadow rises up, swallowing the room in total darkness. The doors fly open after a moment though, and you see Tuuri being pulled straight outside toward the dock. You get the sense she's been taken back to where you all started, and with a little patience and a short trip on the ferry you can find her for the rest of the evening.
no subject
It's the words after that catch her completely off guard.]
Not...
[Not guilty.
Not Guilty.
Not. Guilty.
Tuuri sinks down to her knees, her hand tightly gripped around her phone as she reads the message over and over again. This can't be right. It can't be. She killed Kon! She was right there, with the knife in her hands, stabbing him over and over and over again as she screamed and cried.
It's all her fault. She did this. So why...
The phone slips out of her hand and clatters to the ground. A couple teardrops manage to fall on the screen before she covers her face with her hands and starts to sob uncontrollably.]
