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!

[ gayer than the "baby slut" crop top, yes. ]

[hellscapes]

[ the e does smell like alcohol. the others, not so much. one of them are thick! we stan skinny legend test tube liquids. ]

[ragesqueaks]

Yeeeah. Midori's on drink duty today, you probably wouldn't like it much. [ tailwag. ] I have a few more buried in my snack box if you want another one later. Or a sandwich.

[ harrow may have sandwich rights if she wants. ]

[engineers]

[ weh this makes him laugh a little and then look sad because kon would've laughed at his joke

frowns and pats yoru and goes back to work ]

[outsidebones]

[huh!!! but even though it's more severe in places, it's still just on the pads? also the scuff is a scrape, is it bleeding at all?

anyway i'm going to toss these sticky shoes into evidence and keep going, turning kon over to look at his back.]

[ragesqueaks]

Mostly! But I made a couple for Flapjack, too.

[ he was thinking ahead. ]

[hellscapes]

[ it's all still on the pads! the scuff isn't bleeding, but yeah, it could be considered something of a scrape.

harrow probably shouldn't flip his body too fast though. as she's preparing to do so, she'll follow the line of his arm and see there's also a bloody cut along his forearm. ]

[cavaliered]

[oh duh it would smell like alcohol because. wine is alcohol. i'm sorry mods, i'm stupid.

if she puts her finger in the C tube and licks the liquid what happens.]

[ragesqueaks]

[ yay. ]

You've got a deal! [ he will very happily take these three cookies, thank you lbx. ] They look pretty good.

[tearduct]

I guess the best loyal subject would be a friend. So that's good.

[He will "ruffle" the bone head gently.]

Behave, okay? And keep an eye on Gideon for me.

SHOES

[firstandgreatest]

[ LEMME SEE THOSE SHOES!!!!!!!!!! what are they like just. overall at a glance. ]

[outsidebones]

[oh ok in that case she'll slow down and look at the bloody cut. how deep is it?]

[hellscapes]

[ zelgadis inspects the fire! it's like... a medium amount of fire? do not ask me about the amount of fire. the stuff burning is the natural plant life in that spot; it is simply very easy to light a fire in the forest.

but as he inspects he will find a couple things near the fire. some burned bits of wool, and some broken glass.

lbx sees that the dirt is disturbed like... footprints! zelgadis can see the start of these prints as well, since they start by the fire. they don't move in a straight line, but move a bit chaotically further into the biome where the biggest dirt disturbances are.

since he specifically looking for signs that someone fell - past that, closer to the glass window of the biome at the farthest end, it does look like someone could have fallen, with an indent that lbx could read as an impact spot. there is quite a bit of blood soaked into the dirt over there as well. ]

[engineers]

Don't worry, I will; I'm not as fragile as people think I am.

[ he sounds a little fond when he says it, though, and also not offended at being called a mother hen. ]

And, I think you could get up to plenty of mischief, and there wouldn't be a thing any of us could do to stop it, if you so wanted. So thank you for not.

kon's clothes

[preordain]

[ hewwo....

so, what are the state of the clothes? evidence turn-in says the back is shredded and bloody but besides that is there anything very obvious ]

[hellscapes]

[ it's actually somewhat deep, right in the meat of the arm. it's not deep enough to have gone through the whole arm or anything, but it's a significant cut. ]

[hellscapes]

[ i love you flurry

also that's cool. that's fine. her mouth is going to burn and she's going to feel a little nauseous pretty much immediately? ]

[ragesqueaks]

Okay! We can go get some ice cream or something. [ and that's all he says because he's Content with that idea. ]

[hellscapes]

[ they're dirty! with dirt. the dirt is kind of clumping in places... ]

[outsidebones]

[does it look like it would have bled a good deal? how long is the cut?

also just to clear this up: "she'll see there are a lot of older injuries she's probably familiar with due to cyoa and such. there's the obviously bandaged right arm at the shoulder, various little fire burns over his torso and left hand and scrapes and cuts across his face, torso, arm and legs. there's an older scar on his left leg from a cut" are any of these possibly new injuries?]

[cavaliered]

Ow.

[what the fuck. she puts. the cork back on it. is it the like, chemical burn type of burn?]

[ragesqueaks]

Hmmm...okay! But later, you've gotta do some work first. [ date will always have the number #2 spot...but i guess it's #1 now. ]

I have a few sandwiches, too. We can trade.

[hellscapes]

[ there's nothing else obvious at a glance besides shredded and bloody. it seems to be mostly concentrated on the back of his outfit ]

[hellscapes]

[ it's not very long, but it does look as though it bled a good deal.

none of these appear to be new injuries from what harrow has seen before. would she like to proceed with flipping kon over, or is she still checking out some things? ]

[preordain]

[ cool

for the blood, is like concentrated on a specific spot? oocly i am assuming it matches up to the body injuries but. you know just to be safe. ]
