WEEK FIVE - TRIAL


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!

We've all died once already.

[ like what is dying twice gonna do just add more trauma!!?!!?!? ]

[maple i'm gonna fight you

he just reaches for her hand, if she allows it.]

I told you, I wouldn't let anything happen to you.

We're not forced to send her there? Then what, we finangle a what, nineteen person tie?

There's not-- it's not going to be any better, any other way. All we have here is deciding something ourselves or letting it be made easy.

[and both suck! someone else could try it, too, but. that's not going to go over well either.

this is way too much discussion of self-sacrifice for one day.]

I know, Teach. I get it. But I can't say I wouldn't do the same thing.
engineers: (humans really dropped the ball)

[ he will glance over at persephone, brows knit, but stops after that, giving a little shake of his head. ]
hardrocklife: (059)

[personal profile] hardrocklife 2023-03-19 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
So what's the better outcome?
polyglotti: (106)

[personal profile] polyglotti 2023-03-19 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh no, that makes her breath catch in her throat. Then she speaks louder, addressing everyone:]

Don't listen to Zel! I always planned on confessing in the end. I just...I needed the time to...

[And then her voice cracks.]

Please, help me put the pieces together before you all vote for me. I- I can't-

[Oh, the tears are starting to fall down her face now.]

How am I supposed to apologize to Kon if I can't even remember what I did?!

[a big, big sigh. yeah, mood.]
engineers: (feelings: off)

[personal profile] engineers 2023-03-19 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ for the first time, just, desperately sad- ]

I know you would.
outsidebones: (forehead)

[personal profile] outsidebones 2023-03-19 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not suggesting there's an outcome that doesn't involve sacrificing someone. It seems we've decided the person we will sacrifice will be Tuuri.

[ okay ryo is just going to step aside now after making a girl cry.

everyone else can do their thing or whatever ]
outsidebones: (💀 pedicle)

[personal profile] outsidebones 2023-03-19 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Correct. Those are the choices we have.
cavaliered: (49.)

[personal profile] cavaliered 2023-03-19 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
Don't be dramatic. [but it's not like the phrasing isn't true or that harrow is wrong, it just makes her angry to hear.]
birdeater: (pic#16232214)

[personal profile] birdeater 2023-03-19 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
There is no better outcome, that's the point.

Every week we've been voting for people we don't want to. Shit happens. It sucks. [ A shrug. ] I'm asking what she'd feel if we did vote for you -- which is something she'll undoubtedly be against if y'all care about each other.

[personal profile] tearduct 2023-03-19 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Ignore his watery eyes it's because Tuuri is crying now, he cannot control the Tear. He just kind of frowns sadly.]

Sorry. We wanna live, but sometimes, we want them to live more.
tearduct: (pic#16182670)

[personal profile] tearduct 2023-03-19 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
[no not u]
engineers: and i just started cryin (thought about how stephen hawking)

[personal profile] engineers 2023-03-19 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ NNNOOOO GOD OKAY AAAAH ryo did a good job let me tap in as worried dad PUTTING A HAND ON HER BACK AND RUBBING!!! WEH!!! ]

Okay, Tuuri. Okay, we can do that. [ soothingly, immediately and then, to everyone else: ] Let's try and put together a timeline. We have a lot of information - let's sort through it and get this done.

[ looks at the clock and sweats ]

[personal profile] polyglotti 2023-03-19 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
It's alright. We...we never had any way of making that happen in the first place.

[DON'T USE THAT ICON AT ME]

[personal profile] outsidebones 2023-03-19 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
I always reserve the right to be dramatic, Nav.

[it makes her angry, too! it should make everyone angry to hear!]

[personal profile] selfdestructs 2023-03-19 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ this is all really fcking hard, but if there's something she's learned in their weeks here...it's that the compassion and empathy is high, even if most would say otherwise. that much is clear here, today. ]

Tuuri...[ puts a hand on her back ] I know he will forgive you. This place, it forces us to make choices we would usually think twice about.

[ not her getting teary eyed too ] It's going to be okay.

[It's alright he can have handholding rights.]
