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 can have the soap but NOT THE PLUSHIE.]

Hey, nuh-uh. Hands off the goods. Give her back.

[tearduct]

[Thank u.

He's in longer gray pants and a dark hoodie. He will turn all his pockets out, yes, but there aren't any things inside.]

[outsidebones]

[hello. could the spudger have been used to make any of the wounds on kon's back or forearm?]

[voidshift]

[he feels less like shit this week, so. participating! he'll need help and it'll have to be from someone who already knows the leg situation, he won't be letting anyone else see that.

he has: fading bruising on his front and back which looks like it's from last week, probably; bandages on his left arm; bandages on two sections of his right leg; various bruises/bites in varied healing stages but none from the last couple days. the left leg is still in good condition-- maybe a little scraping from what looks like small teeth, but otherwise clean and cared for.]

[firstandgreatest]

[ listen its the middle of trial and they are just fighting on the floor now I guess

its fine ]

[selfdestructs]

[ she is wearing this!! her clothes looks clean and free of any tears!! and there is nothing in her hair, except maybe gamer essence idk. ]

[hellscapes]

[ there is not anything like a knife or anything sharp, no. ]

[hellscapes]

[ nope. ]

[eleusinia]

[ it's with some reluctance and a heavy sigh that persephone allows herself to be checked by anyone this week, since as lbx mentioned, pickings are running a little slim. she will ask to be seated as she undresses and for patdowns! first off: she's wearing this dress and a corsage on her wrist. a man is dead but fashion is forever.

as previously mentioned, there's a crown of wisterias sitting atop her head, which she will remove should anyone want to check her hair. it's still the same length as it was during the masquerade, just unbraided now and going a little past the small of her back.

as for the rest of her, her left foot is still bandaged from the other week. there's a new bandage, too! this one wraps around her waist. there are also assorted lil scratches and small bruises on her arms and legs but like who doesn't have those these days. ]

[the skeleton hand is just a hand! it does not move.
the phone is cracked in a few places. no scuffs or anything on the keys or anything else.
yes, the arm is real, i'm sorry to say.
the vials do indeed contain drinks from around the islands. there's a persuasion drink, the drink that makes you overshare, and the drink that turns you nice.]

[preordain]

[ yea nothing to see here ]

[polyglotti]

[She's just sitting over here, thanks.]

[outsidebones]

I don't know if you deserve this, considering you've eaten soap and caustic chemicals.

[harrow is just such a mean nurse.]

[tearduct]

[He just has on longer gray pants, a dark hoodie, a black tank top, and some sneakers. He is still in the same black pendant necklace.

He has the same circular scar around his hips at the hemline of his boxers. The other injuries all look old. The only fresher one is the slice on his palm, but it's scabbed nicely and healing. He has a tiny bruise under one side of his jaw.]

[selfdestructs]

[ seeing as how yoru is accounted for now... thank you snow
- phone and keys have general wear and tear, nothing of note!
- crool has some scuffs from general use
- the writing on the paper looks hastily written. also thank you zel for not pressing, she appreciates that.
- gun looks fine! the wear on in looks old and it doesn't appear to have been fired recently. there is a single bullet in it. ]

Peaked your interest huh?

[tearduct]

[He has to come off to pick Ryo up again in the middle of strip so he's in nothing but his boxers. WOULD YOU BOTH STOP.]

What did I say?!

[firstandgreatest]

[ this just keeps going until one or both of them is tired like a toddler throwing a tantrum and then they both get up and wander off like two cats that got into a spat and had to slap each other for a bit ]

[outsidebones]

[what a cute outfit, dang.

cool, anything else on her hands or feet?]

[eleusinia]

All good revolutions take time! They didn't come up with the Trojan Horse on day 1, you know.

[firstandgreatest]

[ help ryo your mom is here ]

He keeps starting it!

[engineers]

[ nods emphatically along to this ]

[selfdestructs]

[ harrow let's go shopping...

nope! hands and nails are clean, same goes for her peets. ]

[engineers]

Harrowhark, I don't usually press you, but you are on the list for the print match, this week.

[preordain]

[ from where akira is hoisting him like a feral cat ]

See you in the room later.
