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!

[ he was going to type on his phone but his kids are giving him stress disorders so he also switches to voice to text to be losing his mind while they run around to investigate.

re: fingerprints. can he put his fingertips near one of them just to compare the size? and if that own't work he'll get his rainbow dry erase marker and scribble all over his index finger and then make a print on a piece of paper from his notebook and hold it up to compare the size - it's less about the marks/perfection of getting ridges and whorls or whatever and just comparing the size of the print itself, if it makes sense. ]

I wish we had a fingerprinting kit... [ mumbled, forlornly, by a man who is already at his limit at 3 PM but this is just flavor complaining.

also by both ends do you mean like the vertical part and the horizontal part? thank you for giving me this gift ]

[ there's more powder on the ground than on the window, but not by a whole lot. like there's enough to maybe take a small sample of. if they so desire.

lbx may compare fingy prints! he leaves a nice tidy print, but these powder prints are a little smudgy so they're not perfect. but they are perhaps a bit bigger than his own? maybe the same size? definitely not smaller.

and yes, there is a fingerprint at the end of the tall upper bit, and another print at the end of the shorter horizontal bit. ]

[Zel's just standing here awkwardly while Lu Bixing's dealing with Gideon. He puts a hand on his shoulder. That's rough, buddy.

I'll be nice and say it's the hand that wasn't touching mystery goo a few tags ago.]

Come on... Let's go back.

[engineers]

[ that's fine

looks into the camera like this is the office and closes his phone after liking the message. ]

...yeah, seems like we better quickly. [ but he will go ahead and take a sample of the extra white powder! thank you! ] I think we're ready, Midori.

[ and midori will nod and lead them back to the trial woooooo ]
