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!

[Lifts his arms up. He can pat away. There isn't anything else on him except lean muscle.]

[birdeater]

[ He’ll tell people what he has but he won’t pull them out of his pockets like a little bitch. ]

[hellscapes]

[ the vials found in the forest biome have some dirt on them. there is nothing on the vial found in the ice cream shop. ]

[greatvalue]

Haha— ack!

[the bread is yote! it's a direct hit! flapjack does nothing to stop this.]

Oh, come on!

[tearduct]

[Zel.]

Did you stick your finger in syrup? Wash your hands.

[hellscapes]

[ rynlan can examine the pile! there is. a lot going on here. there are just many kigus all thrown around and bundled up, but as he digs he'll find different ones of various animals. there appear to be a lot of rodent-themed ones though the longer he digs. there are some small-sized kigus of lil guys like a mouse, a bear...a hamster...and there are some larger ones including a rabbit, a squirrel, a deer and some others.

meanwhile, thancred can look at the item on the ground!



it's a bloodied bee kigu. enjoy your beegu. ]

[engineers]

Then, hold your arms out for me please.

[ c: c: c: ]

[eleusinia]

[ MAKES A SCRUNKLE FACE IN GIDEON'S DIRECTION WHEN HARROW SAYS SHE HEARD ABOUT IT

the blood on her dress is dry, but not like, crusty. probably a few hours old? for the record the blood is on the left side of her waistline, below the ribcage and above her hips. it is pretty synchronous with the part of her waist that is bandaged over. ]

[engineers]

[ he thinks this skull thing is so cool and you can see it all over his face


anyway he doesn't give gideon a pat down because of her injuries, but he does gently ruffle her hair. ] How're you feeling?

[hardrocklife]

[reluctantly... he does. a little.]

[hardrocklife]

[he looks at it.]

... Forgot about that.

[cavaliered]

[what did you expect]

[polyglotti]

[Cape is good yes. The more to hide her, the better.]

Thanks. I...we have more we need to find, I think, and I don't want to get everyone off-task before we find everything we need to figure this out.

[She's not bothering to strip entirely. She just rolls up one of her sleeves, revealing the chemical burns on one of her arms.

She's silent as she does this. She knows she can't say a thing about the actual truth here, even if the others can't see they're surely listening. But she looks up at both of them with a pleading look that says "Please. Help me."]

[voidshift]

[ok so we burn the hamster kigu (no)

he's sorting through them while he digs, seeing if any appear to be used/worn compared to others or otherwise out of place? besides, you know. the bear in the middle of all the non carnivores. is there anything weird about that one?

if these discarded kigus have pockets he's giving them quick pats to be sure (and if any are crumpled/rolled he lays them out.)]

[eleusinia]

[ listen she knows but also NYEH ]

pink goo

[outsidebones]

[what is this. is it strawberry syrup? blood mixed with anthrax?]

[engineers]

Kore, can I pat you down, today? I'll be careful.

[ since you got STABBED earlier this week

if harrow is already doing this ignore me as i frantically run down this list ]

[cavaliered]

[y'all are messing up her mane

she is probably sitting down by now, peering down at her gut wound with a scrunched up face.]

I think I might be bleeding again, but fine, otherwise.

[outsidebones]

[cool.]

May I check under the bandage?

[engineers]

[ did he eat the soap

anyway. hi ] Thancred, can I pat you down today? I'll be careful.

[hellscapes]

[ it's a much lighter pink than strawberry syrup or blood - even blood mixed with something. ]

[hardrocklife]

[he sees this, and is silent.


and looking at lu bixing with a warning glare.]

[onlythans]

[Well, that's just bee-sgusting. Is it crumpled like there's something inside it, or just in a bloody heap on the ground? If there doesn't appear to be anything inside it, can he two-finger grab it on the clean parts and try to spread it out a little for a better look, or should we just take that back for investigation with the group?

Either way, once that's answered he's moving on to do a preliminary eyeball of the questionable stain next.]

[outsidebones]

[is it ice cream? what does it smell like.]

[eleusinia]

[ im crying idk but yeah she's ok with lbx checking her we can just say they were being extra thorough

there's just a wince as his hands pass over the left side of her waist, even with a gentle touch, but he will not find anything hidden on her person! ]
