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!

Okay, burns. So... we should probably check everyone then.

[ wanders over here sniffling and rubbing his nose, however: ]

Chemicals "E", "L" and "C" are ethanol, liquid sodium hydroxide, and chloroform. Liquid sodium hydroxide is also known as lye. It's extremely caustic, and can give off heat when reacting with moisture in the air, which can be enough to light a fire if placed near a flammable material. It's likely the cause of the burns on his fingers. That could be why the coal was near it, but... honestly, I have more questions about this than anything else. It wouldn't be a bad idea to look for chemical burns - and I think we should check people's clothing, as well, just in case. It could burn through almost anything if it's exposed for long enough.

That being said, the fire in the biome was from the ethanol based on the wine smell. And then Chemical C... I don't know if we've found any chloroform anywhere but on his body, yet, but I think most of us know what that does. If you inhale it for too long, it acts as an anesthetic that will knock someone unconscious.

All three test tubes were still full, so these may have just been backups.

EVIDENCE UPDATE: burnt wool

[personal profile] hardrocklife 2023-03-18 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Took a closer look at that burnt wool that was near the fire. Couldn't make out much about it... looks like it might have been a piece of clothing, off-white in colour, but it doesn't have a distinct shape now.

Didn't look like it was bunched up and burnt on purpose [as another culprit seemed to do in a previous case] so... I don't know. Maybe it caught fire while someone was wearing it, and they discarded it on the spot.

There wasn't any other damage or stains on it, besides the burnt parts.

The 'L' may indicate he managed to use the lye...

[Looking up at what Lu Bixing said...]

Any strange smells on it? Like...uh, lye or wine?

[You know, to kickstart the fire]

ICE CREAM SHOP🍦

[ they are back! itto is sneezing, sorry for all the oni snot on the evidence, gross. dva is a little sticky, but it's fine. ]

I think Itto is having an allergic reaction, do we have anything to help that?

[ anyways... ]

Well the ice cream shop was a mess, ice cream was everywhere and it was horribly sticky. There was a blood trail leading outside of the shop and towards the biome, as well as foot prints in the ice cream, that also led outside the shop.

There was blood splatters on the counter, which appeared to have come from a pretty sizable cut, as well as a few splatters on the ground in the same area. Those were the same size and shape as the counter splatters, but they seemed to be mixed with something sugary sticky? But it wasn't ice cream, so it could be strawberry syrup.

Found another test tube as well, behind the counter, this one has a C on it.

I'm guessing everything started there, then moved to the biome outside, considering the blood trail.

How burnt was it? Wool is pretty flame-resistant by nature... so it might have just been a bit that got torn off, instead of just being the leftovers of something that someone tried to get rid of on purpose.
