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!

[selfdestructs]

Thank you, both, sounds like you found a lot. [ they've seen some shit.

she locks eyes with lbx and nods. ] I can take a look at it.

[ wanders off.......

bends time and space for this :stressed: ]

[cavaliered]

[hex does NOT like being picked up. but once he realizes where he's being put, he will stay there. and slap her face with his pointer finger a few times.]

[preordain]

It's been working out so far.

burnt wool

[hardrocklife]

[checking out this burnt wool that was near the fire in the forest biome!

does it have any distinct shape to it, like it was an article of clothing or some kind of wool object?]

[hellscapes]

[ she can compare! it doesn't look exactly the same or anything, but she can see some similarities in some of the burns on kon's fingies. ]

[engineers]

[ he gives her a little squeeze on the shoulder when she comes by. :( ]

Okay. Let us know what you find.

[onlythans]

[Ah, yes, a "he ran into my knife, he ran into my knife ten times" situation. I think that's all I had for the moment, mods, thank you for indulging me!]

[engineers]

[ looks tiredly at gideon ]

Has it been....?

[hellscapes]

[ ♥ ]

[firstandgreatest]

[ what if this is all i ever wanted to know about feet and never want to learn any more? I think that's a fair assessment.

well, apart from ice cream and a blood trail, is there anything else on this floor.




AND LOOKING UP AT THE CEILING. ]

[preordain]

She seems fine.

[ she still has her finger.... ]

[eleusinia]

[ persephone tamed her version of cerberus after like five seconds shes not scared of a hand

but when hex starts smacking gideon, persephone can't help but let out a little titter and offer a small smile. ]

C'mon. You said you're not taking breaks.

[cavaliered]

[she has washed her hand, but. she shows bixing her finger.]

This is from the L tube. It's similar to Kon's. Not exact, but similar.

[tearduct]

[onlythans]

I can help when you examine the chemicals, if you need a second opinion. I've some practical field knowledge of such things.

phone

[selfdestructs]

[ hey fam, it's ya girl.

what embarrassing lock screen does kon have...and then after finding that out, she's going to trying to unlock it, by putting in 9-6-7-8. ]

[eleusinia]

...yeah, we can't really afford to just clear anyone at this point.

[ragesqueaks]

I don't think so. [ thinking about this... ] I don't really know much about where everything comes from here. It's just kind of always there? But Satan would probably do it if I asked.

[failbo]

At this point it sure seems like doing certain checks is necessary protocol for these trials.

[We do what we have to do]

If it turns out somehow that Kon didn't make that L then I really gotta wonder why someone would make it. I mean, sure seems like it was on purpose.

[If it was Kon this all sure seems to him like an attempt to give a message of some sort, really, but if it wasn't him...then yeah, something must be up]

[hellscapes]

[ there's no distinct shape to it, and it's a pretty typical wool color: a kind of off-white. where it isn't burned. the burned spots are. burned wool color. ]

[engineers]

[ he gives her such a worried puppy look as he examines it, taking her hand. like, it's that "looks like a dog in an aspca commercial face" ]

...How long did you have your finger in there? Just a second or so?

[outsidebones]

[she nods in agreement.]

[voidshift]

When you say it had fingerprints at the end- were they aligned with it?

[hellscapes]

[ his lock screen is a selfie of D.Va and Yoru going 'rawr' in dinosaur kigus! very cute.

when she unlocks the phone, it immediately opens to the camera app. ]

[outsidebones]

[the deepest sigh.]

Griddle, show it to me. We may as well get use out of it.
