WEEK FIVE - TRIAL

[hellscapes]

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.

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 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!

[ fair

[ragesqueaks]

Nacho cheese... [ this is a very good idea for later. he does come down from his perch a little to grab the bag. ] I do like crunchy, so you're on the right track.

[onlythans]

[bruh like you don't?? let's just handshake emoji on this one all around]

[cavaliered]

[it's fine she's got hex. she has backup fingers.]

[psynchronise]

[ handshakes.

hey rynlan, wanna try on a crop top? ]

[engineers]

[ oh!!!

okay, he will take the phone. thank you. he'll check to see what the lock screen is/turn the screen on to see if it's kon's....? and then take a picture of the smudge. can he tell what it is or will that need to be taken back to evidence?

with that in hand bixing turns back around to look at the very large disturbed dirt that i definitely didn't miss because i can't read. he'll take a pic of it, but what's going on with this. how is it disturbed? is it around the footprints/where is it in relation to it? ]

[onlythans]

What on —

[...]

GIDEON NAV SO HELP ME IF YOU LOSE ANOTHER FINGER — GO. RIGHT NOW. WASH.

[ #trauma ]

[hellscapes]

[ it's hard to discern by glance since the stabs are messy, some overlap in places, etc. but they aren't, like, obviously round or oddly shaped/jagged or anything like that.

there's nothing else on his back besides the old bruises, the stabs and the blood! ]

[murderofwoes]

[ wednesday is satisfied because she always wins*

*this is false ]

[ragesqueaks]

You think you're gonna be able to handle that?

[cavaliered]

[holy shit she got fullnamed

that is what makes her get up and go wash her hands, like she just startles up into standing, goes owfuck and then goes to. idk ask an npc for water??? how does she wash her hands here. she'll do it.]

[polyglotti]

[Holy shit Gideon]

[outsidebones]

[she's going to check the rest of his backside, then. neck, back of his arm, back of his hand, back of his legs, and of course......the butt. she's not afraid of all evidence.

she'll also piece through his hair to try to see if anything is in his hair or on his head.]

[greatvalue]

[gideon your fingies...]

[hellscapes]

[ there does not appear to be anything else that stands out along the back of his body. even the butt is safe. yay. enjoy his boxer-briefs i guess.

but for real there's nothing. his hair is also free from any other injury, as is his head. ]

[greatvalue]

Good. [immediately.] Why would they make the werewolf fall in love with a baby...?

[murderofwoes]

What.

[ hunter clearly read so much more than she did ]

[failbo]

[well these sure are midori and bloody mary]

Ah, you two's turn at the bar, alright!

[...should he ask for this, right at the start of the trial? You know, may as well. By now, Filbo has gotten pretty used to the proceedings. May as well vary a bit, just for the fun of it]

Pass anything my way, anything's fine. Gotta admit, I'm curious what you two would pull off over here.

[The twins have a certain style and flair in terms of the drinks they give, really. He has to wonder what these two would do]

[outsidebones]

[okay, great. almost done, just three more things.

first of all, i don't trust that you said 'enjoy his boxer briefs.' she's not a coward and will look under them. just tell me if there's anything there.

second of all, she'll also look under the bandage on the socket of his missing arm, making sure there's nothing new there.

third of all, does the scuff on his palm look consistent with holding your hand out to catch yourself from a fall?]

[teufelshund]

Good, good. How close am I now?

[murderofwoes]

[ looks at midori. looks at filbo. ]

She's on her own.

[ she isn't making drinks. which is probably for the best. they don't have that many body parts to spare ]

[psynchronise]

I think I won't have a choice.

[hellscapes]

[ zelgadis inspects the pink! it's just a little bit of some kind of pink... liquid? at the front of a foot print.

lbx inspects this sweet new phone he found. the lockscreen is a selfie with D.Va and Yoru in dinosaur kigus going 'rawr'. who's to say who this phone belongs to. could be anyone's.

lbx will probably have an easier time investigating this smudge while it's in front of him rather than from a photo. it looks like it's something white? and it's kind of in the shape of an L.

as he heads back to the disturbed dirt, he finds along the way, atop the ground: a small piece of coal. also: some broken glass. it's another broken test tube, this one with a cork labeled L.

when he reaches the more disturbed, kind of upturned dirt, it looks like it was mostly done by a lot of movement - the footprints are all over here. looks like there was enough movement to really make the ground uneven. jeez. ]

[psynchronise]

[ GIDEON NAV. ]

[ragesqueaks]

Ehhh. Debatable! You can probably have one of the lower seats.
