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!

[eleusinia]

[ nop! just like, smudges. she doesn't know what microfiber cloths are ]

[cavaliered]

The soap was not my fault. [she unfortunately really likes the taste of the no impulse control drink.] The rest was for science. Give me her or I'm picking you up.

[hardrocklife]

[votes for thancred just for having too much shit to check (no)

- checking the phone and keys! any scuffs, stains, cracks, or anything that would stand out?
- same question for the pencil, the stuffed bunny, the many snacks, the whistle and the tarot cards
- can he peek at the notebook...
- any signs of recent use on the daggers? ... he takes a moment to admire the cool daggers, regardless.
- a questioning look at the bigass jingle bell and cat ears. why.
- are you taking good care of that coat. how's it look, is there any damage or stains.]

[outsidebones]

[she sighs deeply, because yeah, she knows, she knows.]

...Yes. That is fair. A woman, please.

[firstandgreatest]

[ why does this sound like theyre going to hook up ]

Yeah! Bring it on! I'm taking that top bunk for myself now!

[polyglotti]

But I can't be a part of the revolution if I already let him look at my feet.

[hardrocklife]

[- checking the phone and keys! any scuffs, stains, cracks, or anything that would stand out?
- checks the harpoon -- any recent damage or stains?
- a brief, judgmental look at the bite mark in the soap
- examining the beetles. any secret bloodstains on their tiny beetle feet.]

[engineers]

[ gives her the most grateful smile. ]

Thank you. I'm sure Kore - Persephone or Hana would be happy to. [ he does glance over at gideon where she's like, half passed out on the bar... and then shakes his head... ]

[outsidebones]

[yeah she shakes her head too. let her sleep. also, that would be the worst option.]

[engineers]

She wasn't wrong, in that regard. Men are terrible.

[polyglotti]

...

[She glances away while rubbing at her left shoulder.]

Uriel used to check me, but...

[preordain]

[ they are because they're boyfriends

he flips him off. they can continue this another time. ]

[firstandgreatest]

- nothing on the harpoon
- it didn't taste good :(
- one of them is painted a cool silver! but there's no bloodstains. they are jut chillin'. ]

[polyglotti]

[Sorry she's part of the foot revolution now. Persephone convinced her.]

[onlythans]

[honestly at this point i'm like yeah that's valid end my inventory suffering

- no recent damage of any variety to phone or keys! they are just phone and keys
- no recent damage on the pencil
- the stuffed bunny has some white hairs sticking to it if you really look for them
- they're just generic snacks but some are like pulled at and malformed in that way that suggests someone trying to get them open before deciding it's too hard and giving up out of spite
- it's just a whistle on the collar around his neck, twice-blown
- zel may not look at the tarot cards
- zel may not look at the notebook
- the daggers have definitely been recently used! he's cleaned them but they have definitely stabbed at least two people recently.
- because
- it's bixing's coat it is as pristine as when bixing draped it on him so he could have a nice cozy blanket

sighs deeply for yet another week]

[engineers]

Maybe Harrowhark would? She was a little hesitant, too, so, I'm sure she understands.

[outsidebones]

[okay. a girl can check her. she will go behind the safety of guy fieri and take off her button down shirt and trousers so she's wearing her incredibly unsexy underwear that's like a tank top and shorts. there's really no reason for her to have been so modest this entire time there's nothing worth hiding.

so anyway, harrow's left hand is bandaged up pretty good, as it has been the past couple weeks. other than that, she has a lot of fading bruises, all more than a week old, and some nasty looking injuries that look like they were maybe made with large human teeth on her shoulder, arm, and torso, but they have also been healing for a while now. there's a gnarly looking scarred wound on her stomach going through to her back.

nothing looks particularly recent. her nails are heavily bitten but clean. her hair is a messy bob, but very clean.]

[outsidebones]

[harrow has no fashion sense and she doesn't appreciate d.va's cute outfit at all, unfortunately.]

[hardrocklife]

[- checking the phones and keys! any scuffs, stains, cracks, or anything that would stand out?
- any stains or damage on the handkerchief?

- ... he does look kind of curious at the DS and gameboy though.]

What are those?

[he probably saw mephisto playing on one during a minievent or something but he actually has no clue what it is.]

[engineers]

[ yep.

in a lower voice: ] Did she rest at all last night?

[selfdestructs]

[ she shall teach her then ]

[outsidebones]

[she wants to check her hair, yes. she also wants to check her clothing, including the corsage and the crown of wisterias.]

[outsidebones]

[yes, the angelic patience of uriel can be replaced with the tender warmth of harrowhark.]
