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!

Comments

[selfdestructs]

Yes, of course.

[ hi dad! promise she hasn't been hiding snacks or anything incriminating, but she will turn out all her pockets anyways! she's wearing overalls, so there are many pockets, but there is nothing!! ]

[engineers]

Unfortunately, I have to concur with the others.

[ he looks sympathetic, though. ] Can you tell me why?

[polyglotti]

That's fine, yes.

[Go ahead and pat her down! Besides the aforementioned stuff, there's nothing to be found.]

[outsidebones]

[yeah. yeah...]

[engineers]

I promise, it'll be quick and professional.

[ he's a scientist hes good at rocks ]

[voidshift]

Hm. Gift shop then?

[same area, just about everyone else was there, apparently.]

[failbo]

I'd like that!

[.....]

The--The bag, not getting patted? But you can do that too.

[All these weeks haven't made him any more fond of getting patted all over like he's hiding something, but still, he still accepts.

No reactions from him, so looks like he's not hiding bruises under all this fur]

[psynchronise]

Sure.

[ brief and simple: there's nothing to be found. ]

[outsidebones]

[she doesn't want her to pick her up when she's hurt :/

so. handing it back.]

Oh, fine.

[hardrocklife]

[there is so much.

- checking the phone and keys! any scuffs, stains, cracks, or anything that would stand out?
- same for sunglasses, keychains, marker, book, tissues, embarrassing plush
- can he peek at the notebook...
- questioning look at rubber bands.
- checking the crab tools. any damage or stains on these many crabby tools?
- rummaging in the medkit compartment. and the bag in general, in case anything got excluded.]

[tearduct]

[This is killing me.]

Hands? I'll check your arms too.

[Gib paws to him.]

[cavaliered]

[she looks pleased.

... she kisses the plushie right in front of harrowhark, grinning.]

[engineers]

Of course. [ thank you son he really appreciates that


he holds out his hands and his arms! he still has those track mark scars on the inside of his left arm, but they're all scarred over. there's an old cigarette burn scar somewhat near those, also. nothing else exciting.

his hands are clean, and his nails are like, normal levels of clean? he washes his hands! he'll even take off his watch and move the friendship bracelet up his arm so akira can inspect ]

[polyglotti]

[She nods, and she'll lean in close to Lu Bixing to whisper it.

I'm just going to put it here since it's listed in her strip check injuries anyway but yeah.]

I have a really large scar on my left shoulder. From an attack back home.

[She pauses after that, and she'll speak normally then.]

But if that's not enough...Zel, Kura, or Hunter can check me. They know about the situation, at least a little bit, so...

[Not Kura since OOC out, so the other two.]

[greatvalue]

[he's still laughing, snorting a little. do it, pipsqueak.]

I'm being dead serious.

[eleusinia]

[ they are all clean! also idk if i overtly mentioned it but they're all real flowers, nothing synthetic.

there are no weird marks or discolorations on her wrist under the corsage, and her hair is just. hair. the most that harrow will find are probably loose wisteria petals that have fallen from the crown. ]

GIFT SHOP

[hellscapes]

[ cosmopolitan seems to be letting flapjack the bird hang out on his head as he leads rynlan and thancred off the ferry and into the gift shop!

what would they like to do first? ]

[ragesqueaks]

Hmm...yeah, okay! [ hopping off the statue with bird and lunch. ] Let's go.

[hardrocklife]

[He sees a bunch of people questioning Tuuri and just comes over to stand by her.]

broken vials

[outsidebones]

[am i reading this correctly that we examined the three vials that were on kon's body, but not the three that were found broken at the scene?

if i'm wrong and they've been checked, ignore me. but she's going to compare the three broken vials (being very careful when she touches them and using her cloak to cover her hands) and confirm that the broken vials look/smell like they contained the same chemicals as the ones found on kon's body.]

[tearduct]

[Noooo, cast dandruff.

He will check Itto's nails just in case.]

You're gonna need to get another cast if it isn't healed yet. And clean your arm. And stop annoying Ryo so he'll leave you alone.

[outsidebones]

[stoooooooop]

Don't kiss her with that soap mouth of yours.

[hardrocklife]

[thank god hunter is normal and doesn't have a dad bag.

- checking the phone and keys! any scuffs, stains, cracks, or anything that would stand out?
- checking the crab tools. any damage or stains on these many crabby tools?]

[voidshift]

[gift shop time let's go...

he's being cautious as he steps in, just in case there's anything on the floor, but if the path is clear and nothing on the way is visibly out of place, he would definitely like to check the kigus.]

[polyglotti]

[She gives Harrow a guilty look. Sorry she's being so difficult, she's just Like This sometimes. But she's opening up to cooperation below.]
