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!

[There you go, there's a footpaw]

[firstandgreatest]

I can't help it!

[ragesqueaks]

[ SCREE. ]

I'm a personal demon! I'm still in charge here! [ this is like 20 times funnier now that he's out of the suit and he is only throwing a tantrum because hunter called him on it. ]

Phone photo

[voidshift]

[so with the grainy bad quality of this image

is it possible to tell if the rodent is genuinely rodent shaped? or is identification mostly because of ears etc. could this be a low quality photo of a person in a rodent kigu, is what i am asking.]

[failbo]

[Nice, nice, thanks mods]

[preordain]

[ HE NORMALLY DOES THIS CHECK YOU FUCK BUT NOW HE WON'T

anyway he just nods his head. and then fucking tackles itto stop sneezing on him. ]

[eleusinia]

I pretty clearly established my foot size [ with her pee blood ] a couple of weeks ago, I figured I don't need to show it again?

[failbo]

Right!

[Well now if you excuse him, he will waddle towards the burned wall to give that a try. Let's see, let's see...

.....]

Yup, uh, wine, a little bit. Guess this was doused in that, maybe?

[Well, perhaps not doused, he can't tell for certain what's up, but yeah, there probably was ethanol in the vicinity of this wool. Perhaps Kon did it]

[selfdestructs]

I think someone may have gotten cut while there, whether it was before or after they started throwing ice cream, considering the blood on the counter. The trail was pretty thin, so I don't know about any stabbing happening... Might have been where Kon got the cut on his arm.

[greatvalue]

Based on the amount of blood, the ice cream shop's probably where he got the cut on his arm too.

INVENTORY / POCKET CHECK

[hardrocklife]

We might as well see what everyone here has on their person. Empty your pockets and show us what you've brought with you.

I won't be doing patdowns -- if you want those, someone else better do them.

[hellscapes]

[ the picture is so low quality that he cannot say for sure... but it's certainly a possibility that this is a person in a kigurumi. ]

PRESENT YOUR ITEMS

[hardrocklife]

[tearduct]

Ryo!

[FOR GOD'S SAKE]

CHATTER

[hardrocklife]

[preordain]

[ NO!!! ]

[greatvalue]

[i'm sorry but he's laughing. king is throwing a very cute tantrum and he's laughing.]

U-Uh-huh, you're in charge!

[firstandgreatest]

I mean, we've all seen everyone's feet a buncha time now, but we all still show up do and do the weird check, man!

[psynchronise]

[ yeah, leave him be, he's gay and loves unneccessary conflict, remember? ]

[greatvalue]

[do not sneeze on his feet]

[firstandgreatest]

[ THIS JUST MAKES HIM SNEEZE HARDER ON HIM WHY WOULD HE PUSH ALL THE AIR OUTTA HIM ]

Get offa me!

[ TRYING TO BONK HIM WITH THE ARM IN A CAST ]

[eleusinia]

Hm... then all I can say that it's a pretty safe assumption that the rest of whatever it belonged to is still out there somewhere, and not just a pile of ashes. [ beat ] I've herded lots of sheep before, so.

get naked for justice

[engineers]

[ yall know what time it is. lu bixing claps loudly to get the attention of the room, and stands next to one of their Safety Guy Fieris. ]

...Alright, well. With the information we have, let's do like we normally do and check for injuries. Please expect to be checked by more than one pair of eyes, and be cooperative. Answer questions to the best of your abilities. If you have a special request about who checks you, I'd ask at this point to allow more than one person to do so. I'm happy to check anyone, judgement free.

[ make more friends challenge ]

That's it. All hands on deck, everyone.

[ hold for top levels please ]

[voidshift]

[squinting at it...]

...could maybe be one of those animal costumes, actually?

[failbo]

[Still with the #1 BEST sash, this doofus. And because he still refuses to sew pockets into it, he still is carrying only his phone device and his room keys, all in his paws]
