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!

[there is so much.

- checking the phone and keys! any scuffs, stains, cracks, or anything that would stand out?
- same for sunglasses, keychains, marker, book, tissues, embarrassing plush
- can he peek at the notebook...
- questioning look at rubber bands.
- checking the crab tools. any damage or stains on these many crabby tools?
- rummaging in the medkit compartment. and the bag in general, in case anything got excluded.]

[ im sorry my dad bag is so large

- his phone is in very good shape! no cracks or damage. his lockscreen is a candid picture of jingheng. his keys are perfectly fine, nothing weird!
- nothing weird about sunglasses, keychains, marker, book, tissues, or the embarrassing plush, though he does turn red in the cheeks and quickly shoves that back in his bag so ljh doesn't see it.
- the notebook has some notes from trials, though those taper off after the first two, some questions about eto's book for discussion, a sketch of a dagger that looks like childe's and a long telescoping pole and some mathematical equations, and... on the last drawn page, a sketch of a bedroom! it looks a little like a floorplan, and there are notes added to it (dresser: closet: sword storage?).

- the rubber bands are the kind that fit in the rubber band gun, though he does take one for demonstration, lifts a hand, runs it up through his bangs and ties a tiny ponytail in his bangs so they're out of his way. it sticks up. it's dumb looking.

- crab tools are not stained or damaged!

- medkit is only the things that were mentioned, and nothing else in the bag! ]
