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!

[outsidebones]

No.

[engineers]

Do you mean like they drew it? As far as I can tell, yes.

[voidshift]

Yes, I would. No testing. Zero of it.

[he knows they both know but still]

If you do need to conduct tests, I've been studying them and I'm more functional than he is.

[hardrocklife]

[are there any other stains or discolouration on this thing?

there's the burning, of course -- does it look like it was bunched up and then burned (with burned portions mostly on the outer-facing layers)? or is there anything else to notice about the distribution of burns?]

[engineers]

[ he nods... ]

Mm, he had some in his room, too. Ethanol's highly flammable, and Gideon said that the L chemical burned her even with a second contact, so it's likely something pretty caustic. When we check for injuries this week, we should definitely be looking for burns.

white powder that is totally anthrax

[greatvalue]

[okay for clarification is this like.......... moist powder clumps or is it like a paste? how is it a little bit liquid?]

[eleusinia]

[ just like his mom... ]

Are you okay? Like, not overall, obviously, but you look kind of woozy.

[outsidebones]

Everyone can stop volunteering. Itto will return soon. Itto is who we test things on.

[onlythans]

[oh so when gideon licks weird chemicals it's "useful trial evidence" but when THANCRED offers to lick chemicals it's]

[psynchronise]

[ poor itto.

she's right. but poor itto. ]

[onlythans]

Careful, Harrow, that almost sounded like you care about the rest of us volunteers.

[voidshift]

I was thinking if they were aligned pointing out, then-

[holding up his right index and thumb in a reverse l shape]

But it'd be odd to only have something on two fingers, so if it looked more smeared on than printed, think drawing makes more sense. Referencing the label on the tube, maybe.

[preordain]

[ he just shakes his head, disappointed that no one else seems to understand this ]

[hellscapes]

[ yeah there's a discoloration where it's burned. (aside from that, no.)

it doesn't look bunched, no. the burns are all pretty much on one side - the one that was closest to the fire. ]

[outsidebones]

[but she is right.]

[cavaliered]

[she doesn't want to admit to tasting the stuff in the C tube...]

I'm fine. Don't worry about it. [it wouldn't be so terrible if she wasn't bleeding from like eight different holes.]

[greatvalue]

Why would I do anything dumb?

[said like he wasn't talking about milfs last week.]

[voidshift]

[gideon didn't volunteer she just did it, your mistake was in saying anything first.]

[outsidebones]

To varying degrees, some of you. For others, it is simply annoying to listen to everyone argue. "No, please do not drink poison acid. I'll drink it."

Stop. Itto is right there.

[cavaliered]

[well she can't argue that one really

she tugs harrow close for a second so she can hug her, and also step on her foot, and then lets her go.]

[outsidebones]

[it is just so simple.]

[ragesqueaks]

[ just. just this look. ]

[hellscapes]

[ it is a very dry powder. there is no liquid in the samples of white powder. ]

[hardrocklife]

Maybe to signal that he intended to use the "L" chemical? In case the test tube didn't get discovered.

... Then again, it wasn't actually an "L" from the perspective of the person tracing that smudge.

[it was a ⅃.]

[selfdestructs]

[ some of it is sticky... like it mixed with the ice cream that's all over the place?? i am probably thinking way too hard about these splatters...

she doesn't see itto get slapped with ice cream, just hears it. ]

There's blood splatters over here, but the ones on the floor are slightly sticky? Hateful, actually. This place is such a mess.

[ are there any sharp objects hidden behind this counter, if there is space under it, she will get down to look there, using her phone flash light to shine under there. ]
