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!

[cavaliered]

You'd have to be stupid to bring your weapon to trial at this point, so I'm not surprised.

[psynchronise]

Yeah. It's good if we get something that similar enough, but-- [ nods up a comment. ] Harrow's right that's probably a knife or smaller dagger, given Thancred's were a closer match.

[cavaliered]

[her expression is very sour.]

Yeah. But not his. Smaller than that. The actual weapons are probably stashed somewhere.

[psynchronise]

Yeah, I know.

[ gideon... ]

I said they were too big.

[cavaliered]

[what. she's just reiterating.]

I know you did.

[psynchronise]

[ how injured is her head? ]

[cavaliered]

[HELLO WHAT A RUDE QUESTION

i mean her left eye is covered with a bandage does that count]

[psynchronise]

[ THERE'S A REASON FOR IT.



he ruffles her hair carefully, avoiding the bandages. ]

[cavaliered]

[she scrunches down a little like a cat that's annoyed she's getting Pet but she doesn't knock him away or anything.]

Quit it. [she says, but does nothing. he has one whole right.]

[psynchronise]

Qutting it.

[ the grumpiest six foot tall teen. ]

[outsidebones]

[do NOT.]

[psynchronise]

[ there is no faith in this chilis. ]

[outsidebones]

[she's just staring him after he asks that question like she's waiting for him to pull out a baseball bat and try to club her.]

[psynchronise]

[ he's not going to club gideon!!! ]

[outsidebones]

[ONLY because he noticed harrow was watching.]

[eleusinia]

[cavaliered]

[SHE MEANS IF YOU MURDERED WITH IT, PERSEPHONE]

[eleusinia]

[ ITS THE PRINCIPLE OF THE MATTER ]

L-look, I don't bring it because it's huge, not because I'm trying to hide it!

[cavaliered]

I know you're not. Kore, it'd be extremely fucking obvious if you killed with a scythe. I'm not accusing you of anything, God.

[eleusinia]

It's called accountability! Aka, covering my own ass. I know you wouldn't, but, you know. [ beat ] We thought that about some of the other murderers.

[cavaliered]

[she just lays back down on the floor and doesn't answer!!!]

[eleusinia]

[ quick question where is hex rn ]

[cavaliered]

[he was sitting on yoru a while ago so probably there...]

[eleusinia]

[ well

then she'll go over to gently grab hex and then put him on gideon's face while she is on the floor ]

[cavaliered]

[hex does NOT like being picked up. but once he realizes where he's being put, he will stay there. and slap her face with his pointer finger a few times.]
