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!

THE NO CLOTHES ZONE

[engineers]

[ post your strips here ]

[failbo]

[I'm going to hazard a guess and suppose chemical burns would probably be pretty noticeable on fur, so Filbo being pristine is perhaps a great sign he didn't come in contact with lye or chloroform. There's some blackish soot on his paws but that's because he just grabbed the burnt wool like three minutes ago.

Nothing specific to report, chief]

[firstandgreatest]

[ okie dokie

he's still got all his healing injuries which include:
- harpoon hole
- back hole
- broken arm (still in cast, but the cast is like. hanging on for dear life at this point.)
- very healed puncture wounds on side

and a few newer things
- slightly red like. stinger marks? there's a lot of them.
- he's got a rash on his face
- he's sneezing

also he's still got all his tattoos and stuff. the gold is pretty much flaking off his horns entirely by now. ]

[tearduct]

[Imagine he just punches him instead of checking (no).]

Let me see your hands and... [Looks at this CAST as if he didn't cause that.] Let me check both your arms, too.

[firstandgreatest]

Yeah yeah yeah, whatever.

[ RYOS THE ONE THAT TACKLED HIM BOTH TIMES

he'll put his hands out, there's nothing on them apart from tattoos and claws. his good arm has nothing, and his bad arm is in a cast that is smooshed. if he looks in there, it just is that like. gross flaky skin you get under a cast. its itchy. ]

[psynchronise]

[ (appropriate strip tease music blasts from a boombox. where did he even find a boombo--no.)

he's uninjured! wow! go girl give us nothing.

well, minus a smattering of bruises and toothy looking marks around his neck and shoulders but they look a couple of days old, aka definitely pre thursday. it's fine, as always. ]

[selfdestructs]

[ it's that time again!!

there are some old scars, her hands have callouses on them, but other than that there is nothing of note!! her nails are also clean!! ]

[outsidebones]

[what clothes is she wearing? is there anything on them? also, if harrow checks her hair, anything in her hair?]

[selfdestructs]

[ she is wearing this!! her clothes looks clean and free of any tears!! and there is nothing in her hair, except maybe gamer essence idk. ]

[onlythans]

[weeps thancred's got a lot of fresh injuries this week

- fresh lacerations on his face
- at least two stab marks, one on his torso and one on his back
- shallow-ish claw marks across his chest
- my man's whole back half is all burned and shit
- a head contusion
- actually he's really just bruised everywhere like he is the picture of a man who's Been Through It™
- a vertical cut through one eye

and also some older ones

- the mostly-healed remnants of first-degree burns on the front of his thighs and pelvis
- recent but fading bite marks on his neck

wipes brow ok i think that's everything]

[tearduct]

[Just takes one look at him and closes his eyes briefly. Bro, are you GOOD.]

Can I check your hands and arms?

[engineers]

[ he always practices what he preaches so bixing will strip down to his boxer briefs without complaint.

under his clothes, he's clean! his shoulder injury from week 1 is basically healed. his eye injury under the patch is also basically healed. the only thing that's even remotely unusual (is it though) is that he's got a set of faded back scratches from his shoulder blades down and a hickey on the back of his neck, also faded. i will go into no more detail than this thank you goodbye. ]

[tearduct]

[Looks at these scratches and the hickey, then looks at Lu Bixing. Does not say anything.]

Gimme your hands and your arms.

[hardrocklife]

[It's confidence week so........

Zel actually participates. He removes his cape and shirt, at least, which is way more than he's done any other week.

Behold, the rock hard body of Zelgadis Greywords. What's black and blue and ripped all over? This guy. I'm sorry, the only pic I had ready for this was this ridiculously angsty one. Please kill him.

As far as you can tell, he's just a rocky guy. No injuries to be seen.]

[tearduct]

[This is killing me.]

Hands? I'll check your arms too.

[Gib paws to him.]

[voidshift]

[he feels less like shit this week, so. participating! he'll need help and it'll have to be from someone who already knows the leg situation, he won't be letting anyone else see that.

he has: fading bruising on his front and back which looks like it's from last week, probably; bandages on his left arm; bandages on two sections of his right leg; various bruises/bites in varied healing stages but none from the last couple days. the left leg is still in good condition-- maybe a little scraping from what looks like small teeth, but otherwise clean and cared for.]

[eleusinia]

[ it's with some reluctance and a heavy sigh that persephone allows herself to be checked by anyone this week, since as lbx mentioned, pickings are running a little slim. she will ask to be seated as she undresses and for patdowns! first off: she's wearing this dress and a corsage on her wrist. a man is dead but fashion is forever.

as previously mentioned, there's a crown of wisterias sitting atop her head, which she will remove should anyone want to check her hair. it's still the same length as it was during the masquerade, just unbraided now and going a little past the small of her back.

as for the rest of her, her left foot is still bandaged from the other week. there's a new bandage, too! this one wraps around her waist. there are also assorted lil scratches and small bruises on her arms and legs but like who doesn't have those these days. ]

[outsidebones]

[she wants to check her hair, yes. she also wants to check her clothing, including the corsage and the crown of wisterias.]

[engineers]

[ no friendship bracelet... throws phone ]

[tearduct]

[He just has on longer gray pants, a dark hoodie, a black tank top, and some sneakers. He is still in the same black pendant necklace.

He has the same circular scar around his hips at the hemline of his boxers. The other injuries all look old. The only fresher one is the slice on his palm, but it's scabbed nicely and healing. He has a tiny bruise under one side of his jaw.]

[outsidebones]

[okay. a girl can check her. she will go behind the safety of guy fieri and take off her button down shirt and trousers so she's wearing her incredibly unsexy underwear that's like a tank top and shorts. there's really no reason for her to have been so modest this entire time there's nothing worth hiding.

so anyway, harrow's left hand is bandaged up pretty good, as it has been the past couple weeks. other than that, she has a lot of fading bruises, all more than a week old, and some nasty looking injuries that look like they were maybe made with large human teeth on her shoulder, arm, and torso, but they have also been healing for a while now. there's a gnarly looking scarred wound on her stomach going through to her back.

nothing looks particularly recent. her nails are heavily bitten but clean. her hair is a messy bob, but very clean.]

[greatvalue]

[He will take his shirt off and roll up his pants up to mid-thigh. All his scars from home are still there. They have not gone anywhere. In addition to those, he has a scar from a cut under his left eye, scarring from flash burns on his right side, and light scarring over his knuckles. There is also a messy, lopsided scar right across the front of throat, and the mostly scarred over remains of a stab wound on his right shoulder along with what once used to be a set of puncture marks along his shoulders and sides.]

[polyglotti]

[Alright she's here finally, but she's not removing this oufit at all until her human wall is in place.]

[engineers]

[ its a half rock wall but also hi ]

[hardrocklife]

[All right, he's got experience doing this. Here he is. Do you want a cape screen? He can do cape screen.]
