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!

COLD OPEN

[tearduct]

[He sticks two fingers in his mouth and whistles once, mostly to get everyone's attention. He's in something comfy today: slightly long grey jeans and a darker hoodie.]

Yo, let's find out where everyone was like usual. Then let's think about where we should be looking, too, while we wait to see what we can get from the body.

[He gestures. GO AHEAD.]

CURFEWS

[tearduct]

[outsidebones]

We were in the Home Biome. Gideon, myself, Rynlan, Thancred, Bixing, Jingheng, D.va, and Kon.

[engineers]

[ nods along... bixing's here, sans coat, looking tired but focused. also he has a sword strapped to his belt now. ]

Hana woke up with Yoru, as well. He's not really very responsive, but he is here.

[ nina's just not here atm but i will deliver this message so we all know the baby is safe. important ]

[refate]

[ honk mimimimi

wait i forgot to add his fit check. ]

[cavaliered]

[hex comes over to sit on his head.]

[voidshift]

[nodding to confirm. he's probably still glued to thancred half the time tbh.]

[onlythans]

[He's definitely here also, at least somewhat more bandaged up than he was when he reappeared from CYOA a few days back! Less overtly bloody. He's also wearing a brown coat today instead of his white gunbreaker one, over regrettably a crop top with "Baby Slut" emblazoned across the front. He's also slamming what is either a glass of water or straight vodka and showing no outward signs either way of which it might be.]

[voidshift]

[the crop top haunts me.

anyway the usual white coat is still here. it's just on rynlan, despite it being a bit short for him. it works.

he's keeping a close, 'don't do anything stupid' sort of eye on thancred. hold still you injured tank.]

[teufelshund]

We had a veritable party going in the gift shop! Mr. Hunter, Mr. Koibuchi, Mr. Greywords, Miss Hotakainen, Miss Persephone, Mr. Arataki, Mr. Date and myself.

Correct me if I missed anyone!

[greatvalue]

[he nods to confirm!]

[psynchronise]

[ also nods ]

[polyglotti]

[She nods too. She was there!]

[preordain]

Planetarium with you.

[birdeater]

Eto and I’s room.

[tearduct]

[responds to myself]

Ryo and I were in the planetarium.

INVESTIGATIONS

[tearduct]

[greatvalue]

There was a... fire "emoji" [air quotes] over a picture of a forest in yesterday's beek. We should check out the forest biome sooner rather than later in case there's an actual fire there.

[outsidebones]

Quite. Kon also spent curfew in the home biome, but the forest ought to be priority.

[greatvalue]

Right. So forest first, then home?

[preordain]

Mm. We wouldn't want anything to burn.

[greatvalue]

[nods]

That's what I'm worried about.

[hardrocklife]

[a nod. forest biome sounds like the way to go.]

If there might be fire, maybe I should go.

[greatvalue]

[gazes at his rock hard everything]

Oh, yeah. That's a good idea.

[firstandgreatest]

There's melted ice cream on the bottom of his shoes, so should probably check out that place too, right?
