superhell | WEEK FIVE

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!

Probably not. So let's save it for later.

Pull off? What, like this is hard?

[ enjoy your tall glass of water*

*yeah it's still just straight vodka. ]

[ completely unaware of this behavior my daughter is so smart and cool and definitely doesnt do anything she shouldnt do ]

[how much of this pink liquid is there?

he'll just stick a finger in it and smell it. what's it smell like.]

[ stop why would i mislead you!! there's nothing under his underwear though.

there's nothing under the bandage on the arm or around the torso since the bandage is wrapped around the body for support, my bad, forgot to clarify that.

and finally, yes! it is very much similar to that. ]

[cool have a wonderful day, zia.]

[harrow will come back from body check, hands slightly bloodied.]

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.

Can she be bribed with fries?

[ whoa. okay. he takes a picture of the L? L for loser bc kon is a nerd. i solved it.

he feels very soft and sad about this lock screen but pockets the phone carefully for now. what's the texture of the L by looking? is it powdery? streaky like liquid? is there any viscosity to it?

onwards. he'll pick up the coal, and look at the test tube, and then look around. hmmm... ]

... Don't tell me he didn't put the molecular label on these... [ >:/ do better

but ok. picking those up to investigate for later, too thanks.

this is so scary IS THERE LIKE, SOMETHING IN THE DIRT? IS THERE SOMETHING BURIED HERE? WHY IS IT SO UNEVEN? he will get down to check on this more closely....???? ]

I'll take it!

I couldn't find any here, but I highly recommend Spicy Sweet Chili Doritos if you ever get the chance!

[ squinting. ]

You know. You can try? I'm not sure.

The clothes match up to that, I didn't find anything strange about them.

[ there is little enough pink liquid that zelgadis can get all of it on his finger if he wants. follow your dreams. it's a little sticky? and it smells sweet. and maybe like... strawberry?

the print on the glass looks mostly powdery. maybe a little liquid? but mostly powder.

lbx digs in the dirt and finds pretty close to the surface: a metal spudger! neat. ]

There was, like, melted ice cream and dirt on his shoes. Forest dirt, I guess, instead of beach dirt or lava dirt or whatever. I don't know what flavor. I guess I could find out.

[ right, well. now we have some body-ody-ody info! ]

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.

[ please link a photo thank you ]

[ those sound delicious actually, and it's obvious cosmo thinks so. ]

Are they really spicy?

[ but they gesture to one of the lower statues. mephisto may have a sit if he likes. it's still lower than the top seat and cosmo's own seat, but it is there. ]
