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!

[she will check his shit. any scuffs, stains, cracks on any of this? does his sword look recently used?

will he turn out all of his pockets and remove anything baggy?]

[preordain]

[ no.... ]

[tearduct]

[Turning out his pockets.

- a hell phone
- a room key
- a small black fobbed key

That is all.]

[psynchronise]

[ YEAH YOU GOT HIM.

no it's these. he waves one at harrow. ]

[hardrocklife]

[- checking the phone and keys! any scuffs, stains, cracks, or anything that would stand out?
- i assume you mean the sticky hand toys and not like, date's just here with his hands all sticky.

... he'll look at the gun with fascination. he didn't get a chance to look at it before.]

[firstandgreatest]

[ - harpoon
- two beetles
- phone
- keys
- soap, with a bite taken out of it ]

[engineers]

Or the overthrowing of a corrupt society hellbent on controlling people using addictive mental networks while creating vast gaps of social inequity!

[ that's the coolest revolution!!! ]

[failbo]

[Nope and nope! The phone still looks like it fell down a cliff but that's the natural progression of the weeks. The sash is pretty much intact and well cared for, he even takes it off to extend it to Zelgadis. Everything looking good with this]

[eleusinia]

[ persephone is traveling light today! no bag, no pockets... besides the flowers that have been tucked into her hair and behind her ears every day since they got access to real plants (wisterias today), it's just her phone and room key in her bra.




dont judge ]

[hellscapes]

[ the dorm key, the pipe and the golem all look fine.

on the outside, the case of the tool kit looks a little water-damaged.

the lighter also looks a little blackened around the igniter. ]

[psynchronise]

[ yeah there's a note that says "end my suffering".

nah, the phone's fine. no dings, cracks, stains, secret ice cream supplies or anything like that.
and yeah, it's the sticky hand toys. he waves one at zel after waving one at harrow.



it sure is a gun! thanks aitsf. ]

[refate]

[ mumbled: ] Viva la Revolution...

[cavaliered]

[she is curled up against the bar and is half asleep.]

[outsidebones]

[oh cool i'm glad this check i did just because it was gonna bother me was actually important.

she'll look at the water damage to make sure it isn't actually chemical or ice cream damage and then she'll open the tool kit to see what's inside.

she'll give a sneef to the igniter - does it have any kind of chemical smell? or is it just a little burnt?]

[ragesqueaks]

[ hunter is going to get a sandwich thrown at his face if he's not careful. ]

You could at least make it sound believable!

[hellscapes]

[ of the people listed as giving feet + kon:

D.Va, Harrowhark and Tuuri are the closest match. ]

[onlythans]

[every week i dread this check specifically the most

- phone
- room key
- notebook
- oversize pencil
- rubber band gun
- soap shaped like a delicious cake
- these sick daggers
- one of the bigass jingle bells from his cyoa magical girl costume
- cat ears from his magical girl costume
- this stuffed bunny from the build-a-bub
- ludicrous amounts of convenience store snacks. like where does he keep pulling them from. how is it possible for any one man to hold this many snacks on his person.
- like two damn twinkies from day zero still (forever unfried dammit kon)
- a whistle
- tarot cards
- he's wearing LBX's coat i guess that counts

not appearing in this hoard include:
- the nutkin, who is currently doing investigative journalism to determine the identity of the Mysterious Rodent™ from Kon's photos]

[eleusinia]

[ whispering to herself: ]

This is why Mama always told me to stay away from men.

[outsidebones]

[where's your phone idiot.]

[firstandgreatest]

[ okie dokie

he's still got all his healing injuries which include:
- harpoon hole
- back hole
- broken arm (still in cast, but the cast is like. hanging on for dear life at this point.)
- very healed puncture wounds on side

and a few newer things
- slightly red like. stinger marks? there's a lot of them.
- he's got a rash on his face
- he's sneezing

also he's still got all his tattoos and stuff. the gold is pretty much flaking off his horns entirely by now. ]

[outsidebones]

[she will look at these items for any scuffs, marks, anything on them, any evidence they've been used recently. is his phone cracked or scuffed, etc.]

...What is this key?

[cavaliered]

[idk where is it are you asking her]

[firstandgreatest]

Alright, D.Va, Harrowhark and Tuuri are the closest match. And Persephone is right around their size too, and is also trying to start a movement for people into feet or something?

[tearduct]

Yeah probably, but not right now.

[Puts him down.]

If you let him get under your skin, he'll win.

[hellscapes]

[ it is just water damage! when she opens the kit, she will see there are a good amount of tools and bits. however, there is an empty sleeve where a tool should be.

the lighter does not really have a chemical smell to it! it is mostly just Burnt. ]
