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!

I can help when you examine the chemicals, if you need a second opinion. I've some practical field knowledge of such things.

[engineers]

[ he nods. ]

I think I have an idea of what the L one could be, but I'm not sure. It would've helped if he just used the molecular labels, at least... but, I think I should be able to suss it out. I have a couple ideas for tests. [ and then, more teasing: ] Thanks for being my lab assistant.

[onlythans]

And favorite test subject, I hope.

[OOCly I have a suspicion of what the C one is also and Thancred would almost definitely know it if he examined it but that is a For Later Problem™]

In any case, it's one good way of ensuring I don't overexert myself.

[engineers]

[ HELP HE LAUGHS he can't help it, it's like this exhausted startled laugh. ]

If it's what I think it is based on what Gideon says, then that's definitely true - and there's absolutely no way I'm going to test it on you. Rynlan would have my head.

[voidshift]

Yes, I would. No testing. Zero of it.

[he knows they both know but still]

If you do need to conduct tests, I've been studying them and I'm more functional than he is.

[onlythans]

[oh so when gideon licks weird chemicals it's "useful trial evidence" but when THANCRED offers to lick chemicals it's]

[voidshift]

[gideon didn't volunteer she just did it, your mistake was in saying anything first.]

[engineers]

Trust me, anything that is going to cause anyone any physical harm is the last thing on my test list.

[outsidebones]

Everyone can stop volunteering. Itto will return soon. Itto is who we test things on.

[psynchronise]

[ poor itto.

she's right. but poor itto. ]

[outsidebones]

[but she is right.]

[onlythans]

Careful, Harrow, that almost sounded like you care about the rest of us volunteers.

[outsidebones]

To varying degrees, some of you. For others, it is simply annoying to listen to everyone argue. "No, please do not drink poison acid. I'll drink it."

Stop. Itto is right there.

[preordain]

[ he just shakes his head, disappointed that no one else seems to understand this ]

[outsidebones]

[it is just so simple.]
