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!

All right, well, evidently the mopped-up puddle of blood might not be relevant, but. There was a mopped-up puddle of blood that someone used a bee costume to attempt to clean. It's still a mess, by the way, you didn't do it well.

[shaking his head, moving on-]

Three of the smaller costumes had dirt on the bottom, around the ankles, and one of the larger ones. A bear, mouse, and hamster for the smaller size, squirrel for the larger. I found them in a pile of discarded costumes; if anyone was seen wearing those last night, I'd appreciate if one of you would say so.

Besides that-- there was blood on the floor, near one of the walls. Not a large puddle, but someone seemed to have dripped blood there. I posted a photo if you need to see it.

[cavaliered]

[from where she's on the floor:] I've lost the plot, what do we need to be looking for? People who could wear the costumes, or.

[preordain]

At the very least we can cross out people who wouldn't fit in them at all?

[cavaliered]

Do I have to get in the costumes...

[preordain]

[ he looks over to whatever the fuck is going on over there ]

Apparently not.

[cavaliered]

[oh, neat. gideon sits up. ow.]

[voidshift]

I don't know about that, they're not very fitted. At best we could probably determine who's too large to squeeze into the smaller ones, but... I'll take a look and see if there's anything else on them.

[cavaliered]

[she just makes a groaning sound but it's fine stuff is happening]

[psynchronise]

Yeah, I've checked the bee kigurumi. Same one I remember and there's nothing about it that looks off, or messed with in any way.

[ blood rain... ]

Itto, Mephisto, Tuuri, Zel, Persephone, Kuranosuke and Hunter can all confirm that stupid blood cloud I had over my head gave up just after we got locked in.

[greatvalue]

[he nods!]

And you used the bee costume to clean it up. [...] Kinda.

[it's fine they had other shitpost priorities.]

[psynchronise]

Kinda. I thought it was pretty cleared up but-- a lot was happening.

[ HAPPLES??? ]

[greatvalue]

[and a lot is happening now so he is. kind of distracted as he nods.]

... Right. Yeah.

[selfdestructs]

[ just. blinks. at him. ]

[refate]

[ sneepily hums a zhanlu lullaby from her arms as things start to happen and kigus are discussed ]

[selfdestructs]

[ gently rocks the baby in her arms ]

[psynchronise]

[ stares back ]

[selfdestructs]

[ they are in a staring contest now i guess. as she holds yoru, who is humming a sweet tune ]

[psynchronise]

[ why is she staring... ]

[hardrocklife]

[he nods to confirm.]

Thankfully...

[psynchronise]

Yeah. It would've been an even bigger pain if it had kept going past when we all passed out.

[teufelshund]

I can indeed! He also threw an umbrella across the room.

[psynchronise]

Thanks for the play-by-play.

[ it was a triumphant moment, honestly. ]

[teufelshund]

That's what I'm here for.

[greatvalue]

Some of us put on animal costumes after we got locked in, but not one of those. I think.

kigus...

[voidshift]

[ok, well. his ears flick as he glances over to where Things Are Happening, but.]

Squirrel costume's got more dirt than all three of the others. If we end up needing to know. It's the larger one.
