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!

[hardrocklife]

[huh



okay he gives it back and leaves bye]

[outsidebones]

Aha. Interesting. It stores things? Will you show me whether you have anything else in there?

[firstandgreatest]

[ trying to yank his arm out from under that? this probably really does just destroy the rest of the cast. ]

There's pretty much no way to not make him mad! He's always secretly really mad! That's kind of his thing, man!

[outsidebones]

[man it really does make you wonder how he uses a touch screen.

thanks!]

[polyglotti]

[Looking at how she submitted her feet before this:]

Could you have started the revolution like five minutes earlier?

[preordain]

[ sadly, it is locked because ryo believes in security. ]

[hellscapes]

[ she can't really tell based on the shape and eyeballing alone, but if she checks yes the spudger would fit in there. ]

[firstandgreatest]

[ do they match the smudge in any way IM JUST ELIMINATING POSSIBILITIES HERE ]

[polyglotti]

[She'll just die over here now thanks.]

[firstandgreatest]

[outsidebones]

[hellscapes]

[ I ALREADY SAID TODDLER SIZED HOW SMALL DO YOU THINK HARROW IS ]

[outsidebones]

[nah.]

[hardrocklife]

[- checking the phone and keys! any scuffs, stains, cracks, or anything that would stand out?
- is the skeleton hand just a hand. it doesn't move? he looks wary, like it just might.
- ... siz is this arm real i'm crying
- do the vials maybe look like drinks he's seen in bars around the islands...]

[preordain]

[ it's not. it hits him because he still just has one eye.



he's going to try to tackle him again i'm sorry ]

[outsidebones]

[what clothes is she wearing? is there anything on them? also, if harrow checks her hair, anything in her hair?]

[cavaliered]

[she will take all of the stuff out of it. i think she has to summon all of it so.

titty mag
horrible crocs
clicky clack lighter
a comically large pencil
art set
tub of face paint
a crab multi-tool
cute cake soap (this has a bite taken out of it. don't.)
skipidipi disc
rubber band gun
and a tiny plushie that looks like harrowhark.]

[onlythans]

[weeps thancred's got a lot of fresh injuries this week

- fresh lacerations on his face
- at least two stab marks, one on his torso and one on his back
- shallow-ish claw marks across his chest
- my man's whole back half is all burned and shit
- a head contusion
- actually he's really just bruised everywhere like he is the picture of a man who's Been Through It™
- a vertical cut through one eye

and also some older ones

- the mostly-healed remnants of first-degree burns on the front of his thighs and pelvis
- recent but fading bite marks on his neck

wipes brow ok i think that's everything]

[firstandgreatest]

[ HELP ]

GET OFF ME I'M TRYING TO LOOK AT FEET!!!!!!!!!!

[outsidebones]

[great. she will hand her back all of her absolute trash, except the tiny plushie that looks like harrowhark and the soap, both of which she tries to put in her own pockets.]

[engineers]

[ he always practices what he preaches so bixing will strip down to his boxer briefs without complaint.

under his clothes, he's clean! his shoulder injury from week 1 is basically healed. his eye injury under the patch is also basically healed. the only thing that's even remotely unusual (is it though) is that he's got a set of faded back scratches from his shoulder blades down and a hickey on the back of his neck, also faded. i will go into no more detail than this thank you goodbye. ]

[preordain]

[ NO!!!

this is what he didn't do with harrow ]

[outsidebones]

[cool. and there isn't anything like a knife or something sharp in here is there?]

[hardrocklife]

[It's confidence week so........

Zel actually participates. He removes his cape and shirt, at least, which is way more than he's done any other week.

Behold, the rock hard body of Zelgadis Greywords. What's black and blue and ripped all over? This guy. I'm sorry, the only pic I had ready for this was this ridiculously angsty one. Please kill him.

As far as you can tell, he's just a rocky guy. No injuries to be seen.]
