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.

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!

[they all get a little nod (or a wave, in cosmo's case, he is SO tall) but hi he's mainly bothering midori.]

Your turn with the bar?

[He sticks two fingers in his mouth and whistles once, mostly to get everyone's attention. He's in something comfy today: slightly long grey jeans and a darker hoodie.]

Yo, let's find out where everyone was like usual. Then let's think about where we should be looking, too, while we wait to see what we can get from the body.

[He gestures. GO AHEAD.]

[ at midori's gesture, shadow turns away to mix a drink. a moment later, he turns back and slides a tall glass of water* over to zelgadis.




*it's just straight vodka. ]

[oh...... this is sweet.

she kind of laughs a little, and reaches up to scritch at him. she holds the stuffed bunny to her face, too.

after a bit she might actually just reach up to tug him down carefully with one hand so she can hide next to the bar on the floor and hug him.]

[HELP the NPCs are all so short today. He glances at Bloody Mary.]

... You really like that book. [This is like, the third time he's spotted her with it.

Also, he will eventually climb up to Cosmopolitan to deposit a bird next to him. Flapjack is the babysitter today.]


What's up with the basket?

[He wiggles his fingers up by the palms and at Cosmo, playful and to get bonedog attention.]

Brought a friend?

[Also whichever between Midori and Blood Mary when he goes to the bar.]

I'll take a drink, I guess.

There was a... fire "emoji" [air quotes] over a picture of a forest in yesterday's beek. We should check out the forest biome sooner rather than later in case there's an actual fire there.

[ inquisitive peering... ]

Is that all you've got? [ no judging! just curious. ]

I considered it, but there wasn't much point, since the other two didn't especially feel like it.

[ they're being bad workers. it's fine. thing is a hand! and he waves. and this is normal, somehow. ]

I really like Shelley a lot - she's got such a fine hand for writing in the struggles of self that it's just timeless. And, I never get tired of psychological gothic, either.

[ condescending is fine but the sword explanation comes and... ]

...Oh. [ help. ] They can see us right now, right?

[ he will like. adjust the sword in his grip so he can type something in big font on his personal device and show it upwards to say THANK YOU, CHILDE bc he's polite and waves ]

Thank you, Bloody Mary. I appreciate it.

We had a veritable party going in the gift shop! Mr. Hunter, Mr. Koibuchi, Mr. Greywords, Miss Hotakainen, Miss Persephone, Mr. Arataki, Mr. Date and myself.

Correct me if I missed anyone!
