CHAPTER 6 TRIAL TRANSCRIPT
...until you reach the trial room, where Monoboar is waiting for you on his luxury chair. He’s tapping the gavel lightly against the armrest and leaned against his hoof, as if he were waiting there for a looong time.
Hazel steps out, still linked and... probably pulling everyone along? "What is the meaning of this, Piggy?"
“Well, I'll tell ya Ms. Snot-for-brains. But first, let’s get down to business- snrk! I'm gettin’ friggin bored- oink, so let's try this junk!”
Tumblr media
"Y'all should head to your stands first, despite the... snrk- chain, you have."
“Alroight!"
"Now, this ain’t like the other trials―no sirree―this is a special kinda trial- oink! Yer job here is to find out who put you guys here in the first place by lookin’ at EVERYTHING ya learned from every nook and cranny! You know the rules by now, at the end ya vote. Tha's basically routine."
“If yer all correct, you get off scot free, and the person behind this gets punished, snrf.”
“However! If ya vote wrong... you all die in a super cool execution! Got it?”
“Gwaharharharhar!! Alright-o! Enough chit chat, let’s start!”

TRIAL 1 - BEGINNING
Tumblr media
[Trial chart done by Mod War]
[3:18 PM] Monoboar!: As you all crowd into the elevator and the doors shut behind you, the noise of the elevator slowly descending down rings in your ears, the low, ominous hum of everything moving around you.
The more you descend, the more it dawns on you-- someone had truly died... someone who was a beacon of light, a light that someone had taken upon them to snuff out.
While you're scared, you can guess what could happen now... in this deadly class trial...!
....
The elevator finally stops to it's destination, revealing a large trial room, with stands all in a circle. One stand in particular only dons a portrait of the late Akihiko Oshiro, a grim reminder of what you're all here for. [3:19 PM] Monoboar!: @Alive (You may have walk to their stands.) [3:20 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: ...Lake reluctantly let go of Hazel and Wilma's hands, looking at them both with a slightly tense expression. [3:21 PM] Wilma Ortega || foy air: "This is all mighty theatrical," Wilma says, with barely hidden disgust in her voice. She squeezes Lake's hand and lets go, walking to her own stand and examining it as if it was going to come to life and eat her. [3:21 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: Aderyn takes a shuddering breath as her eyes land on Akihiko's portrait. This was horrible. She walks around and finds a stand with her name on it, and silently and falls to a crouch at it, curled up in a ball. [3:21 PM] Willy | DDR King: Willy steps out and looks around the place whilst going to his stand. [3:21 PM] Riku Yasui...: Riku exited the elevator then quickly made his way to his stand. [3:21 PM] Eri [around]: Eri looks around the trial room before walking over to her stand. [3:21 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Sadness: Artemis cringes at the portrait, Akihko deserved much better than this. She scowled, a foul mood setting in anew as she took her stand. [3:21 PM] Cerviel Winter | Room: Cerviel walked in, arms wrapped carefully around himself. He stepped up to his stand and took a deep breath. [3:21 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "...What the fuck are we doing here again?"
@Monoboar (Mars) [3:21 PM] Wallace Callaghan || Foyer: Wallace steps up to his stand like it's the most natural thing in the world. He surveys everyone around him as if it's actually a throne. [3:21 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana stomps over to her stand and grips it tightly. "Okay," she begins, voice shaking ever so slightly. "whoever did this needs to tell me NOW so I can banish you from my kingdom forever and ever and EVER!" she yells. [3:22 PM] Wallace Callaghan || Foyer: Except he's next to Artemis. Which he isn't all that happy about. [3:22 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Investigation: Rayne walks to their stand. Hello [3:22 PM] Monoboar!: "Woah, woah!" Monoboar cuts in, appearing on a tall throne. "Lemme introduce the trial, you impatient worms!" [3:22 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: "SHUT UP! YOU SMELL LIKE A BARN! I HATE YOU!" [3:22 PM] Monoboar!: "Eh? Like that's an insult?" [3:22 PM] Monoboar!: "Anyways!" [3:22 PM] Keiko Taisei | Death time: She heads to her stand. "What's all this?" [3:23 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: Lake groaned. [3:23 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: Packie heads to his stand and avoids looking at Akihiro's portrait. I would too. [3:23 PM] Qiuyue Xu ♣ Foyer: Qiuyue at her stand. [3:23 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: "Yeah! It is! You look dumb and stupid! I hate you!" [3:23 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Sadness: Artemis gives Wallace a death glare. This is awful. [3:23 PM] Monoboar!: "All this is th' trial room! You gotta have a class trial to find out who did the dirty deed! Usin' the clues you found after th' crime, you gotta discuss it all here! 'Course, there's some certain limits-- jus' make sure you ain't talkin' over each other!" [3:24 PM] Keiko Taisei | Death time: Oh hi she's right across from Wallace. She gives him a look. :( [3:25 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "...Why do we have to figure it out? You started this, you figure it out!" [3:25 PM] Cerviel Winter | Room: At least he was next to the One person he's really talked to. That's something. [3:25 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: Also, retcon. Lake's still holding Hazel's hand. [3:25 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana's quiet for a minute, just frowning at the ground. [3:25 PM] Monoboar!: "Enough gab! Let's get this show on th' road!"
Slamming a gavel onto the arm of his chair, he officially declares the trial open for business.
"Let the trial for Akihiko Oshiro, Ultimate Lucky Student start!"

[3:26 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "...That didn't answer my question!" [3:27 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana hated what he just said. She hated hearing Aki's name come out of his mouth. She hated that THEY had to solve all this, and she hated that SHE had to witness it! "Just be quiet, stupid hog! Smelly pig! Just be quiet!" [3:27 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "S-So..." Hazel started, looking around at everyone. "...where should we start...?" [3:28 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: 'Ugh, not listening to it probably won't help, as much as I don't want to play detective when it should be left to professionals...' [3:29 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "Um..." Lake coughed, "Don't they usually, um... talk about the... the body first in crime shows? Or what?" [3:29 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "That sounds smart, Lady of the Lake." Hazel nods. [3:30 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana looks at Hazel sadly. [3:30 PM] Wallace Callaghan || Foyer: :cluebullet: "The victim received one stab wound to his lower back, and four to the chest," Wallace recited. "As far as I can tell, those were the only wounds." [3:31 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "God..." Lake covered her mouth as she attempted to fight against the rock in her throat. [3:31 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: Aderyn winces. "T-Too much," she mumbles. "... One was enough..." She glares at the stand in front of her, feeling sick just hearing about it. [3:31 PM] Willy | DDR King: { "Like a slasher movie more than a detective show if you ask me..." } [3:31 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel sniffles, trembling. [3:31 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: { "D-Don't even get me fucking started...!" } [3:31 PM] Wilma Ortega || foy air: Wilma frowns.
"I assume the one to the back was received while th' victim was...trying to escape." She says slowly. "Then the others to. Finish the job." [3:32 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: { "You all make me wanna tear out my hair!" } [3:32 PM] Riku Yasui...: :cluebullet: "His eyes were also red and puffy, as if he had been crying.  There was also a distinct bloody handprint over his mouth." [3:32 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: Heavy breathing! [3:32 PM] Wilma Ortega || foy air: Wilma's frown morphs into a glare.
"Someone tried to stop 'im from calling for help." [3:32 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana whined, covering her mouth. She didn't have anything to say. [3:32 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel covers her mouth. [3:32 PM] Wallace Callaghan || Foyer: Wallace nods. :consentbullet: "I agree with Wilma. He received the stab to the back before the other wounds." [3:33 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: "Shut uuup...please..." [3:33 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "H-How did you figure that out?" [3:33 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: Packie shakes his head, somehow surprised at how they could stomach that.
:cluebullet: "He wrote somethin' out from his blood, a dying message, most likely. But I can't remember what it said.." [3:34 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana looked like she was in mortal anguish. [3:34 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: :consentbullet: "Yeah, I-I think it, um... kind of looked like a letter?" [3:34 PM] Wilma Ortega || foy air: "I remember." Wilma concurs. ":consentbullet: It was a V-shape, but it was kind of messed up. I don't know if that was the letter he was tryin' for." [3:35 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: Aderyn furrows her brows. "Like, maybe... M-Maybe a W, or... Or a Y? Or.. S-Something?" [3:35 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: "M-Maybe it was supposed to be someone's name?" [3:36 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "No one here has a name starting with V, right...? Wait, was Oshiro-kun even familiar with the English alphabet?" [3:36 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | ����: Hazel feels like people are going a little off the rails a bit.. [3:36 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Fuck. [3:37 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: "Wh- what else.. Is there?" Aderyn asks carefully. "Wha-- um, the," she takes a breath. "D-Do we have... um.. a mm-- murder. A murder weapon...?" [3:37 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Sadness: Artemis winced, crossing her arms. "I think I found it- [3:37 PM] Cerviel Winter | Room: Cerviel really wished he had actually investigated. [3:38 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel looks at Artemis. "Hm...?" [3:38 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Sadness: :cluebullet: "There’s a knife that's a little fucky in the knife block in the kitchen. It was also a little wet." [3:38 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana gripped the stand, frowning. [3:39 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: Aderyn looks at her. "A... l-little, little fuh-fucky...?" [3:39 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "Someone probably washed it before quickly putting it back?" [3:39 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: {"Uuuu..."} [3:39 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: :consentbullet: "It wasn't positioned correctly." [3:39 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Sadness: "What Pickle said." [3:40 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: {"Haha, don't call me that."} [3:40 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "Oh, uh, by the way, before it's, like, too late to bring it up, I had a thought about the 'V' Oshiro-kun wrote..." [3:40 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "We're all fine... Lake..." [3:40 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "...but continue!" [3:41 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: {"I wanna go home already! I hate this stupid place!} [3:42 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: { "I feel you there, Minami-sama... Really do." } [3:42 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "Just thought that maybe, instead of it actually being the English letter V, maybe it was meant to be like an arrow pointing at something?" [3:43 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: "Like, what?" [3:43 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: "Lake-chan! You're so smart!" [3:43 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel squints. [3:44 PM] Willy | DDR King: "Was there something else on the balcony even?" [3:44 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: The crime scene clue has not been brought up! [3:44 PM] Wallace Callaghan || Foyer: "It also might have been a different letter. One that he started to write, but didn't finish-- or failed to write, because he was dying. Like an A, a W, or a Y." Wallace crosses his arms. "Was this 'v' actually pointing towards anything in particular?" [3:45 PM] Riku Yasui...: :cluebullet: "The balcony still looks relevantly the same from the last time I seen it despite the body," [3:46 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "Maybe it was pointing at something  that wasn't on the balcony...? Might be a stretch, though..." [3:46 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "Is that all, Sir Riku?" Hazel asks. [3:47 PM] Riku Yasui...: :cluebullet: "Well the blood surrounding Aki himself is smudged, as if he had been squirming, but on his left side it seems like the blood had been pooling around something, or someone," Riku added. [3:47 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: {"Urgggh...I feel sick..."} [3:47 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "A-Ah...?" Hazel nearly bites at her nails nervously. "It had to be the killer.. of course..." [3:47 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: {"Aderyn winces. Squirming. "He... must've... s-suffered," she mumbles."} [3:48 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: { Sob. } [3:48 PM] Keiko Taisei | Death time: {"There's no point in thinking about those things now. He is at peace.} [3:48 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Sadness: :consentbullet: "Shit! I remember seeing something that could be related to that!" [3:49 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: What Keiko said only made Hana's heart ache more. She just wanted to get out of this stupid trial already! Dumb place! Stupid people! Arggghhh! [3:51 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: :cluebullet: "There were some footprints from the stairs, it disappears at the foyer but it looks like it was going toward the kitchen." [3:51 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: :consentbullet: "Yeah, Hayai-kun. They looked like they were from bare feet, right?" [3:51 PM] Keiko Taisei | Death time: :consentbullet: "Yes, there was also a trail of blood drops leading to the kitchen as well. [3:52 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: :consentbullet: "Yeah. That's fucking gross also, why barefoot, but anyways." [3:52 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "...Wait, why would someone be walking around with bare feet?!" [3:52 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "B-Barefoot?" Hazel asks. "Ew..." [3:52 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: Aderyn crosses her arms. "Smart enough to-- to take their stupid, stupid shoes off, to be, silent, I guess," she says. "Dumb, too d-dumb to fuh-fucking clean up," [3:53 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "...Wait, maybe to, uh... Not really have identifiable footprints, too. Since, like, shoe soles." [3:53 PM] Wallace Callaghan || Foyer: "Perhaps the killer wanted to hide their footprints by going barefoot. If their shoes were to have a distinctive tread, it would be a clear giveaway." [3:53 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: Aderyn nods to Lake. That too.. That's smart... [3:53 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "...okay that's fair..." Hazel taps at her chin... [3:53 PM] Keiko Taisei | Death time: :cluebullet: "Bishop-san is right. The sink where the knife was found had vague red stains on it, as if someone had failed to fully wash them away." [3:54 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: {"Stupid-- Stupid, stu-- stupid culprit,"} [3:54 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: 'Heh, I said it first, prep Johnny Test!' [3:56 PM] Wilma Ortega || foy air: "This wasn't much well planned, was it?" Wilma comments. "How'd the killer get Akihiko up to the balcony anyways? Just ask 'im?" [3:56 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: :consentbullet: "P-Perhaps..." She agreed with Wilma. "H-He's kind, and trusting..." [3:56 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: :consentbullet: "P-Probably," Aderyn mumbles. "He was.. really, friendly," [3:57 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: { "Good thing I didn't wash the berries..." } [3:57 PM] Keiko Taisei | Death time: "We have to take the motive into consideration as well. Why would whoever did it want to kill Oshiro-san? Did they...did they have the gift given to them by Monoboar-san? Or perhaps they were trying to protect whoever has it..." she says nervously.
Tumblr media
[3:57 PM] Wilma Ortega || foy air: Wilma pulls the brim of her hat down to hide the growing anger in her eyes. To take advantage of someone that kindly... [3:57 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "So someone fucking led him there to kill him?" [3:57 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel is shaking, covering her mouth to prevent herself from breaking down. [3:57 PM] Eri [around]: "Actually... I have a theory about the motive" [3:57 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "What is it, Eri-san?" [3:58 PM] Wilma Ortega || foy air: "Wait." [3:58 PM] Wilma Ortega || foy air: "Eri. Fore you say anything." [3:58 PM] Eri [around]: Eri waits. [3:58 PM] Wilma Ortega || foy air: Wilma looks up at Monoboar. "You said whoever got the gift'd die if they revealed they had it. Someone's dead, now. Does that mean that rule is done for?" @Monoboar (Mars) [3:59 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar lifts his head.
"Eh? Oh, oink, yea yea, whoever got the ticket can reveal 'emselves!"
@Wilma Ortega (Auz) [4:00 PM] Wilma Ortega || foy air: Wilma takes a small red ticket out of her pocket. [4:00 PM] Eri [around]: "Right, does that mean I can-" Eri deadpans. [4:00 PM] Riku Yasui...: Riku takes out a red ticket [4:00 PM] Keiko Taisei | Death time: "Then I must come forward...I had the tick--" she cuts herself off as Wilma takes out her ticket. [4:00 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Investigation: "....Me got one...?" They slowly pull a red ticket out of their pocket. [4:00 PM] Wallace Callaghan || Foyer: "...I've suspected that everyone got one from the start." [4:00 PM] Cerviel Winter | Room: Cerviel slowly took out his ticket. [4:00 PM] Eri [around]: "Yeah, I thought everyone got one" [4:00 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel also takes out a ticket, looking troubled. [4:00 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: Aderyn watches as people start taking out tickets. "... What?" She whispers. She sounds... horrified. [4:00 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "...Ugh, that's a weight off my--" Lake was taking out her ticket before she noticed everyone else. [4:00 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: Packie takes out a red ticket, feeling sick at the realization. [4:01 PM] Eri [around]: Eri takes out her ticket. [4:01 PM] Keiko Taisei | Death time: "W-what..."
"All of us...had tickets."
Tumblr media
[4:01 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Sadness: Artemis took out a ticket. [4:01 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "...You fucking BITCH!!" Lake threw her ticket at the ground before grinding it under her heal. [4:01 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "W...What...!?" Hazel hisses, horrified at this reveal. "Then...!" [4:01 PM] Riku Yasui...: "The pig tricks us," [4:01 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Sadness: "We were fucking baited." [4:02 PM] Wallace Callaghan || Foyer: "Obviously. Why place a motive that will only affect one person? The rule about not telling anyone was clearly established to prevent us from figuring it out." Wallace looks smug. [4:02 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: Aderyn leans over, gripping her stand. "It-- It, ww, it, it wa, it," she takes several deep breaths. [4:02 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "YOU'RE FUCKING SICK!! SICK!!!" Lake shouted at Monoboar. [4:02 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "Wow, like it's something to be happy about, you dumb prick..." Hazel hisses bitterly at Wallace. [4:02 PM] Keiko Taisei | Death time: Keiko regains her composure. "Calm down, everyone. Yes, we were tricked by Monoboar-san, but losing our heads won't help Oshiro-san. We still have to figure out who did this." [4:02 PM] Qiuyue Xu ♣ Foyer: Qiuyue takes out her ticket. [4:02 PM] Monoboar!: "Oink! Tha's how th' cookie crumbles, ain't it!?"
@Lake Kawaguchi (Florence) [4:03 PM] Eri [around]: "You aren't the only one who figured it out" Eri crumples up the ticket and tosses it at Wallace. [4:03 PM] Wilma Ortega || foy air: "I had a feelin' bout this." Wilma says, sighing. "Thought it was suspicious that we couldn't say we had the 'gift.' It'd make it easier to murder if one of us was singled out. But none of us telling it...each of us thinking we'd be the only one to die..."
She looks at Monoboar, and if looks could kill, that pig would be roast.
"The perfect me vs. them situation." [4:03 PM] Cerviel Winter | Room: Cerviel looked down at the floor, close to tears. He let his ticket fall out of his hand. [4:03 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "Gh...!!" Lake listened to Keiko and shook her head, trying to shake off the anger. [4:03 PM] Wallace Callaghan || Foyer: "Yes. It's gratifying to know that the one behind this isn't able to outsmart every last one of us. Maybe some of us will actually pass this test." [4:03 PM] Riku Yasui...: "People will start to take your motives less serious is you pull things like this pig," [4:03 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "...kay." [4:03 PM] Wilma Ortega || foy air: "Shut up Walleye." Wilma says automatically. She's referencing the fish. [4:04 PM] Eri [around]: {"What test you jackass"} [4:04 PM] Monoboar!: "Gwahahaha, this is only the beginning, anyways!"
@Riku Yasui (Alondra) [4:04 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "Shut the fuck up, Asshat! This isn't the time to be making insensitive jokes like that!" [4:04 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Sadness: "Shut the fuck up!" [4:04 PM] Keiko Taisei | Death time: {"Callaghan-san, I think all of us are a little shaken right now. I'll be happy to discuss this at length with you if you wish later, but such comments may prove to be inflamatory in our current situation--" she interrupts herself as everyone else tells him to shut up, "Ah, my point is proven."} [4:05 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: "I thought, I thought--" She's shaking. "But-- Even-- Even, even, if, if, it had been, just, just one-- It still, affected- everyone. Everyone, because, because--" She gasps. "Even, even if you don't have it-- you don't, know who, so, that's, you don't, know who will snap, you don't, but-- But-- we all-- we--" She's hyperventilating. "What-- What about the pu-punishment?! Was that-- Was that a fuh-fucking lie too? Were you-- Were you, really-- really gonna k-kill, kill us, if, if we didn't--" @Monoboar (Mars) [4:05 PM] Wilma Ortega || foy air: "I think he was." [4:05 PM] Wallace Callaghan || Foyer: Wallace drags a hand down his face. "Am I the only one actually capable of focusing here? What happened to the presentation of evidence? Surely someone else here has something to contribute?" [4:06 PM] Monoboar!: "Heheh, I dunno! Was I? Sure is a mystery now that'cha know ya had a ticket like everyone else!" Monoboar snorts. "But it would'a been more fun if I did kill alla ya!"
@Aderyn Bishop (Beq) [4:06 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "UGH!!!!!!!!!" [4:06 PM] Eri [around]: Eri stops herself from saying something. [4:06 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel kicks her trial stand angrily. [4:07 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "Fie! cometh ov'r hither and englut mine own coxcomb, thee distemperate fooleth, thee hog!!!!" [4:07 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "Hazel-san, you're my friend, but could you say that in a way I can understand, please? [4:07 PM] Eri [around]: "Please fight him" [4:08 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "I've never learned how to hear." [4:08 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "Eri-san, don't encourage it right now!!" [4:08 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "Questioneth not mine own speech patterns, i'm very fell even but now!!!!" She angrily crumples the ticket and throws it at Wallace. [4:08 PM] Eri [around]: "Please fight him later" [4:09 PM] Wilma Ortega || foy air: "Walleye, yer not helping the situation any. Please refrain from treatin' the rest of us like idjits." [4:09 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "...ANYWAY! If we all had a ticket, how can we narrow down our list of suspects?" [4:09 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel huffs and turns around, crossing her arms. She's giving herself time to relax. [4:10 PM] Eri [around]: "That makes it super difficult, who would likely to cave in out of fear?" [4:10 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: Aderyn has her hands at her head, pulling on her hair as she takes deep breathes. [4:10 PM] Keiko Taisei | Death time: {"Callaghan-san...should I repeat myself? Please refrain from purposefuly instigating our classmates.} [4:10 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana had a ticket. She crumpled it and threw it at the ground as hard as she could, and as it was paper, it floated down softly. That only made her more pissed off, so she started stomping on it. [4:10 PM] Wilma Ortega || foy air: Wilma looks around the room, observing everyone.
"Whoever killed 'im...now knows they were tricked. They can't be too happy right now." [4:10 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "I mean, whoever did it probably washed their feet and changed their clothes by now, right?" [4:11 PM] Wallace Callaghan || Foyer: {"I merely asked who else had evidence. If that qualifies as instigating, then I believe I am not the one with the problem."} [4:11 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: "Did- d-did he-- If-- the b-boar was, was lying-- did..." Aderyn swallows, looking up with teary eyes. "Did... did he die for nothing..?" [4:11 PM] Eri [around]: "I would hope so, who just shows up wearing bloody clothes" [4:11 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "Whoever did it must've thought that it would've been okay to trade lives for one, or all of us." [4:11 PM] Keiko Taisei | Death time: "I must say I am quite relieved to know all of us had tickets. I thought someone had murdered Oshiro-san for my sake, for a second..." [4:12 PM] Qiuyue Xu ♣ Foyer: Qiuyue exhales, taking this all in. "... Hmph..." [4:12 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel turns around and slams her fists on her podium. "E-Either way, Akihiko would've been k-killed for nothing!!! The murderer is a villain, cruel and horrible! There's no use in killing, never!" [4:13 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "I'm not about to forgive whoever took Oshiro-kun away from us, either, Hazel-san, but don't forget the one here we should be the most pissed at..."
She gave a look to the swine in the throne. [4:14 PM] Keiko Taisei | Death time: :consentbullet: "I agree wholeheartedly with you, Hazeldine-san. Whoever committed such a horrid crime should step forward and admit to their guilt." [4:14 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: Aderyn whimpers. "Can't-- You can't-- c-can't fuh-fuh-forgive them, you can't-- you can't," she's crying. "Killer is a stupid-- stupid, fuh-fuh-fucking, lowlife-- fucking FREAK, c-can't, fucking forgive, forgive--" [4:14 PM] Eri [around]: "Yeah, no one would outright admit to a murder" Eri looked over at Keiko. [4:14 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar only leans back in his throne, entertained. [4:14 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Sadness: Artemis makes a bit of a face. [4:14 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel frowns, looking at Aderyn. [4:15 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: "Can't the kuh-" she didn't want to say it. "killer...just reveal themselves already? Everyone already hates you, so just, like, ugh! I hate both you and the smelly pig! Tell me who you are now so I can stomp your face in like I just crushed this stupid, dumb, idiot...ticket..." she was only repeating herself at this point. [4:15 PM] Keiko Taisei | Death time: {Keiko gives Artemis a Look ™ . :unamused: } [4:15 PM] Wilma Ortega || foy air: "Much as I agree with y'all, this ain't helping none." Wilma speaks up. "This ain't gonna encourage no one to step forward and admit it. I don't think nothing could convince someone to admit to this."
"Let's review the evidence one more time. There ain't nothing we forgot to look at, is there?" [4:15 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: "We- we can't, c-can't f-figure it out, we, we looked over all the- the clues, there's, nn, there's nothing else..!" Aderyn pulls at her hair. [4:16 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Sadness: {"Don't look at me."} [4:16 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "...Maybe we could look at the V shape again?" [4:16 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana draped herself over her stand, rocking restlessly. [4:16 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "...w-well..." Hazel wrings her hands. "Recall the file info... it says he died at 2am last night, did he not?" She says. "Who'd be up so late...?" [4:17 PM] Keiko Taisei | Death time: She ignores Artemis' words.
:consentbullet:  "I believe we have looked over all of the evidence...but yes, as Kawaguchi-san has stated, I was about to suggest we go over the 'V' shape once more." [4:17 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel goes silent. [4:17 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: "Um, well...uh..." she thought. "like, I don't wanna accuse anyone. But, like, who here stays up late?" [4:18 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "I've made sleeping early a habit, but that's probably not gonna help anything." [4:18 PM] Eri [around]: Eri raises her hand slowly. "Insomnia" [4:18 PM] Qiuyue Xu ♣ Foyer: "I go to bed at a decent time!" Qiuyue states. "I never deviate from it, no matter what!" [4:18 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: "I'm s-s-ure, sure, many, many of us, do," Aderyn says quickly. [4:18 PM] Cerviel Winter | Room: Cerviel shifted. "I haven't gotten a lot of sleep since i've been here" [4:18 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana looks at Eri. "Then, well...it must be you or something! You look like you'd commit a murder!" [4:18 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: "Se--See!" Aderyn points at Eri quickly after her admission of insomnia. Addy that's rude. [4:19 PM] Wilma Ortega || foy air: "If we think he was tryin' to write out his killer's name...well the V was smudged near the middle. I'm thinking it was either a W or an M."
Wilma spent too long thinking about this and ignored the staying up late convo. [4:19 PM] Keiko Taisei | Death time: "I can provide a copy of my written out schedule if you wish. I don't stay up that late, and even if I did, some areas are forbidden that late at night, and I would not break such a rule." [4:19 PM] Eri [around]: Eri looks over at Hana. [4:19 PM] Eri [around]: Glares. [4:19 PM] Eri [around]: "No" [4:19 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana's just staring at Eri with wide, angry eyes. "Gimmie proof!" [4:19 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: "I-- I also! I also, think, think it was a W, I mean, it w-wouldn't be, wouldn't be r-right side up, if, it were, an M," Aderyn says. [4:20 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: :consentbullet: "Smudged near the middle, Lady Wilma... if it's smudged, could it maybe be the letter A instead of a W or an M?" [4:20 PM] Keiko Taisei | Death time: :consentbullet: "I agree with Hazeldine-san...it seems more likely that the letter was an A." [4:20 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "Ugh! This talk of when we go to sleep isn't gonna help us, guys!" [4:20 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "Let's get back to the V shape thing!" [4:20 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: "A? Okay, well, um...Aeri? Ari? Close enough!" [4:20 PM] Eri [around]: Eri just sighs and ignores Hana. [4:20 PM] Wilma Ortega || foy air: "...Huh." Wilma didn't think of that. "Yeah, could be an A, too. Didn't consider that, Miss Basil." [4:20 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: "A... An, A," Aderyn repeats, looking pale. After a few moments, she side-eyes Artemis very slowly. [4:21 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana drapes herself over her stand again. [4:21 PM] Keiko Taisei | Death time: Keiko side-eyes Artemis as well. This looks is more of a "please tell everyone how it couldn't have been you" kind of look, though.
"Black-san?" [4:21 PM] Wallace Callaghan || Foyer: { Wallace is absolutely fuming right now. } [4:22 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Sadness: "It wasn't fucking me. If I'd crack under a death threat I wouldn't even have my talent." [4:22 PM] Wilma Ortega || foy air: "Or Miss Add-er-in, though I hate to put you in the spotlight." Wilma adds. [4:22 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel looks at Artemis and Aderyn. [4:22 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: Packie quickly glances over at Aderyn. [4:22 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana looks at Aderyn, too. "It better not be you, Aderyn-chan, cause I trusted you I think!" [4:22 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "...Lady Artemis... has a point... she's more strong willed when it comes to... death..." [4:22 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: Aderyn squeaks. "W-W-- Well, Well, m-m-maybe, maybe, maybe it wasn't a fuh-fucking A at all!" She snaps. [4:23 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel jumps. [4:23 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "Aderyn-san, you're not helping your case!" [4:23 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Sadness: "Addy, calm down." [4:23 PM] Riku Yasui...: "Profanity," [4:23 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: "Aderyn-chan, impolite..." she mumbles. [4:23 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: { "We've been swearing this whole trial, Yasui-kun." } [4:24 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: "I'm j-just-- just fucking, fucking saying!" She says. "You c-can't, c-can't accuse, accuse, me, when, when it still c-coulda been, been a W, or, or something!" She defends. "I mean, it-- It wasn't even right-side up!" [4:24 PM] Wallace Callaghan || Foyer: Wallace sighs. "It likely was, when you take into account the perspective of someone lying down and trying to write on a surface behind them. It would be right-side up from his perspective." [4:24 PM] Eri [around]: "From the victims view it was" [4:24 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: "..."
[4:24 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel bites her lip, staring worriedly at Aderyn. [4:25 PM] Wilma Ortega || foy air: Wilma stares at Aderyn, her whole demeanor shifting. She looks like a predator that's just spotted it's prey.
"Miss Aderyn. You didn't show up to the body 'nouncement, not at first. Was it cause you didn't wanna see the body, or 'cause you didn't wanna be reminded...?" [4:25 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "...Ohh my fucking God, Aderyn-san. Don't you say it. Don't you fucking say it." [4:25 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana hides her face in her arms, groaning, half out of anger, half out of fear. [4:25 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: "W-Well..!" Aderyn glances around. "Maybe, Maybe-- Maybe it was a fucking-- fucking M!" She tries instead. "Stop! Stop, I didn't I didn't fuh-fucking do it, I didn't-- I'm not--!" Tears are welling up in her eyes again as her eyes flicker about nervously. She takes a step back, looking terrified out of her mind. [4:26 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: "Gimmie more proof! I-I'll give you another chance if you do...! You're acting weird! Really weird!" [4:26 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "Aderyn-san, for your sake and ours, please just take some deep fucking breaths." [4:26 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: He tilts his head a bit. "Breathe for a sec. Calm down, get your words out. Be careful with what you say." [4:27 PM] Wilma Ortega || foy air: "You called the killer a, um, I believe the exact word was, 'a fuckin' freak.' Do you..." Wilma is staring real hard at Aderyn. "Do you hate yourself that much?" [4:28 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: "I'm fucking-- Fuh-fucking scared!" She shouts back. "Y-You-- You would be too if p-people were, were fucking ac-accusing, accusing, yyy-- you!" She points a shaking finger at Hana. "I don't-- I don't wanna fucking die!"
She flickers over to Wilma. "I don't-- I don't, b-because, I didn't-- I--" She's openly crying now. "I didn't-- He-- I..."
Aderyn looks down. [4:28 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "He..?" [4:28 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "..." [4:28 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel is trembling, biting into her lip hard enough to bleed. [4:28 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Sadness: "Addy...." [4:28 PM] Wilma Ortega || foy air: "Tell us the truth, Aderyn. You can still make this better. Not right, but better." [4:29 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana's hands are sweating, so she just zoned out as hard as possible, a dazed and angry expression stuck on her face. [4:29 PM] Keiko Taisei | Death time: "Bishop-san? Please listen to Ortega-san..." Keiko looks...solemn. This sucks. I hate it. [4:30 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: Aderyn's shoulders are shaking, and you can hear her sniffling and hiccupping, and she reaches up to wipe away her tears. "I didn't-- I d-didn't--" She hiccups.
"I just--- I didn't, ww-wanna die," she admits. "I thought-- I thought, I was-- I didn't--... I'm, sorry," Aderyn hiccups again, collapsing at her stand. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry-- I-- I'm," she trails off into wet mumbles. [4:30 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel is gripping her stand, glaring at Aderyn hard enough to blow her onto her back.
"Y-You... y-you admit it...? You truly admit it, then...?!" [4:31 PM] Wallace Callaghan || Foyer: Wallace's gaze is fixed on Anderyn. He jumps on her hesitation like a predator on prey. "Is that a confession?" [4:31 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "..."
Lake gave Aderyn one of her hardest glares since she first woke up here before she stepped down from her stand and walked over to the other's [4:31 PM] Keiko Taisei | Death time: "......."
Tumblr media
[4:32 PM] Wilma Ortega || foy air: In contrast, Wilma relaxes a bit, but it's more out of exhaustion than any form of relief. It's as good as a confession.
"None of us wanna die, Miss Aderyn. Akihiko didn't." [4:32 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: She pulled her head up. "I hate you!" she shouted. "If you're...you're seriously admitting to this, then, I hate you!" she said, but her lip was quivering. [4:32 PM] Cerviel Winter | Room: Cerviel wasn't glaring. He just looked.. sad. He didn't want anyone else to die. [4:32 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel feels the tears well up again, and she sniffles, shoulder shaking as hides her eyes again, silently weeping. [4:32 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: Once she was close enough to her Lake took a step forward towards Aderyn before she-- [4:33 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: "I know," Aderyn chokes. "I know, I know, I know-- He kept-- He-- He said-- Don't leave me alone-- I was just, I was-- I couldn't-- I couldn't leave-- I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry Akihiko, I'm sorry," [4:33 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: ...wrapped her shaking arms around her. [4:33 PM] Keiko Taisei | Death time: "Bishop-san...you are lying. Did someone threaten you so you'd say this? You can tell us." [4:33 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: "I don't even care how long I knew Aki-chan, he was like, like..." she slammed her hands onto the thing. "AAAAGH! DON'T TELL ME THAT! SHUT UP! SHUT UP RIGHT NOW!" [4:33 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "SHUT UP!!! I-I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT...! I DON'T... I DON'T WANT TO IMAGINE IT..." [4:34 PM] Wilma Ortega || foy air: "Miss Pond, yer mighty kind, but she could still be dangerous." Wilma says, hand on her holster. [4:34 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: Aderyn just sobs harder, reluctantly leaning into Lake's embrace. "Stop-- stop, I don't I don't-- you can't-- c-can't, can't fuh-fucking," she sobs. "I'm j-just a hor-horrible, fuh-fucking, mmm, murder-- I killed-- I k-k-- I-- He didn't-- I'm sorry--" [4:34 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: Packie didn't seem to be listening, staring off into the distance. He idly plays with the bands on his fingers, thinking about something else. [4:34 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Sadness: "Shut up, Woody. She's not gonna do shit again." [4:35 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "...I know, and I'm not doing this out of kindness."
'...Maybe I am. I can't tell right now.' [4:35 PM] Monoboar!: "...Gyeheheh, so we've reached our climax, huh?" Monoboar snorts in amusement. [4:35 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "...Aderyn-san," Lake spoke sternly. [4:35 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Sadness: "Fuck you too, pig!" [4:35 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: "All he wanted was friends...! I was too mean to him! So...I'm going to be mean to you instead 'cause you ruined that for him! He j-just...! Ugh!" she flicked her head towards Monoboar. "SHUT UP, STUPID HOG! SHUT UUUP!" [4:35 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: Aderyn tries to curl in on herself further. [4:36 PM] Keiko Taisei | Death time: Keiko keep her frown for a moment longer before...she just starts crying. "Bishop-san..." and to think she'd let that happen. If only she had done more, she could've stopped Aderyn from killing, and Akhiko would be alive...
Tumblr media
[4:36 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "A-All he... uuu.. If only... I-If only I told him how good of a friend he w-was..." [4:36 PM] Wilma Ortega || foy air: "It's a bit too late for 'sorry,' Miss Aderyn." Wilma says gently. "Don't curl up on yerself now. Stand up and own it, and maybe then you can 'pologize." [4:37 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: She shakes her head. "Do- Don't, d-deserve, don't deserve, to," she says. "Can this, please-- p-please, just... end," she begs, her voice cracking. [4:38 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: "Aderyn!" she dropped the -chan. It's too cute and sweet. "Yeah, stand up and own it! You killed him! You...he's gone! HE'S GONE!" she yelled, tears spilling from her eyes. She wiped them away as fast as she could, face pink. [4:38 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Sadness: Fuck. Artemis scowled, looking to the pig. "You're fucking sick! I swear to god, first chance I get I'm gonna make you fucking pay from the shit you put us all through! I'm gonna fucking kill you and your fucking puppeT master!" [4:40 PM] Monoboar!: "Gyahahaha, so I guess it's time, dont'cha think?" Monoboar says without a care in the world, and slams his... hoof? Boars are weird. On the arm of his throne, and a screen flickers onto everyone's trial stands.
A selection of all the students' faces blink on your screen with the words VOTE! in red lettering taunt you.
"I know I'm sick, so what? Get t' votin' you filthy maggots!"
@Alive [4:41 PM] Wilma Ortega || foy air: "I think we're way past what you do and don't deserve, Miss Aderyn." Wilma is looking at her, expression carefully blank.
"Stand up and look us in the eyes. You owe it to Akihiko. To all of us." [4:41 PM] Wilma Ortega || foy air: Wilma votes for Aderyn. [4:41 PM] Eri [around]: Eri looks over at the screen and votes for Aderyn. [4:41 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: Packie snaps out of it. Hi. He votes for Aderyn. [4:41 PM] Cerviel Winter | Room: Cerviel looked down at his stand, voting for Aderyn with shaky hands. [4:41 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Investigation: Rayne votes for Aderyn. Im sorry. [4:41 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana stared at it for a while. She stared at Aki's face on the screen, a red x-mark crudely placed over it. She glances up at Aderyn, votes quietly, and then she puts her hand back at her side. [4:41 PM] Riku Yasui...: With a slight hesitation, Riku voted for Aderyn. [4:42 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel glares at the screen through her blurry, tearful vision, and taps to vote for Aderyn shakily. [4:42 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: Aderyn pulls herself to her feet at Wilmas words, but she doesn't look at anyone. She can't.
She votes for herself. [4:42 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "What.. exactly will the voting do." [4:42 PM] Wallace Callaghan || Foyer: Wallace votes for Aderyn. [4:42 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: "I dunno, probably, like, gets her out of here or something. Hopefully in jail." [4:42 PM] Keiko Taisei | Death time: Keiko can barely see their faces. She's crying dawg :(
"We can't....executing someone isn't right! Even if they murdered someone else!" [4:43 PM] Monoboar!: "Yer votin' to send Aderyn off, obviously." [4:43 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: "Yep! To jail!" [4:43 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: Aderyn tenses up. What? [4:43 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Sadness: Artemis scowled, hands shaking. She punched in a vote for herself, it was hard to vote for Aderyn, she knew the rules, she couldn't do that do her. [4:43 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Sadness: "Did you all forget the fucking rules?" [4:44 PM] Wallace Callaghan || Foyer: Wallace's face twists into a disgusted frown. Was he the only one who paid any attention around here? [4:44 PM] Keiko Taisei | Death time: Keiko composes herself as best as she can. "It's...stated in the rules. That we must vote for the execution of the blackened." [4:44 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: "...Execution?" Hana squeaked. [4:44 PM] Monoboar!: "Gyahaha, thanks fer doin' my job, blabber mouth!" [4:44 PM] Wilma Ortega || foy air: "The ones that say we all die if we don't choose correctly? Nah, I think we all remember 'em pretty well." Wilma stares back at Artemis, challenging her to continue this bullshit. "You think any of us wanna do this?" [4:45 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: "Does that mean she's actually gonna...die? Did I just vote for someone to die?" [4:45 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel whimpers. [4:45 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: Lake gave Monoboar a glare before she turned her focus back on Aderyn.
"...I can't forgive you for what you did," Lake tried to keep her voice as level as she could, "But... But..."
'But... What? It's not your fault? It kind of is, but it's also Monoboar's fault. It's gonna be okay? I don't really want to say that to someone who killed Oshiro-kun, but...
Lake kept her offer for an embrace open as she gave Hazel a look. Vote for Aderyn for her?
@Aderyn Bishop (Beq) @Hazel Hazeldine (Mars) [4:45 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel won't do that. [4:46 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: Aderyn looks pale, shaking at her stand, she's hardly listening. "N-no, I-- I don't-- I don't wanna die, please--" She whispers, wrapping her arms around herself. [4:46 PM] Monoboar!: "You say that, but'cha still kill someone anyways? Eh, kids are always selfish these days, Oink!" [4:46 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana didn't say anything, she just looked at the ground, stuffing a hand in her heart-shaped apron pocket. [4:46 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: Aderyn hunches over, guilty. [4:47 PM] Keiko Taisei | Death time: Keiko leaves her stand too after sorrowfully voting for Aderyn. Sorry GMs she's leaving that stand.
She approaches Aderyn, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Bishop-san..." [4:47 PM] Wilma Ortega || foy air: Wilma closes her eyes, sighing.
"I'm sorry, Miss Aderyn. But you knew the rules, and so do we. There ain't nothing we can do to stop that now without getting us all axed." [4:47 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: She was slow to wrap her arms around this time in case Aderyn didn't want it. @Aderyn Bishop (Beq) [4:48 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: Aderyn doesn't react to either touch. She just... stands there, head down. Tears, still dripping from her face. She's... given up.
It's over. [4:48 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana didn't want to look at any of this! She hid behind her stand and put her head in her shirt. [4:48 PM] Monoboar!: "Wrap it up, fellas, we got a verdict to get to!" [4:49 PM] Keiko Taisei | Death time: "I'm so sorry....Aderyn. I'm...please apologize to Oshiro-san, wherever you go. Maybe someday...you'll be forgiven for what you did." she doesn't know what to say, but she can't send Aderyn to her death without saying anything. Why do they have to kill at all? [4:50 PM] Qiuyue Xu ♣ Foyer: Qiuyue votes Aderyn. [4:52 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "...I..." 'What do I say? Should I just make it quick?' "I hope it goes by fast, Aderyn-san."
'...Dark, but okay.'
With that and a lingering touch on the shoulder, Lake ran over to her stand, and reluctantly voted for Aderyn. [4:53 PM] Monoboar!: "Yeesh, finally. Let's get on with it!"
The voting screens flicker black for a moment before a light begins to flicker down each name.
"Well, who's it gonna be, ya grubs? Let's find out who killed 'im!"
...
Tumblr media
[4:54 PM] Monoboar!: ...
A victory tune chimes out as the light lands on Aderyn Bishop.
"Looks like it's the truth, gwahaha! Aderyn Bishop killed Akihiko Oshiro!"
Tumblr media
[4:54 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: Aderyn squeezes her eyes shut. [4:54 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana's still in her shirt. [4:55 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel covers her mouth, hand shaking. [4:55 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: Packie shakes his head. [4:55 PM] Keiko Taisei | Death time: Keiko walks back to her stand. "Goodbye, Aderyn." [4:56 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Investigation: They lower their head and looks down and to the side, folding their hands over their chest. [4:57 PM] Keiko Taisei | Death time: "I hope you're able to find peace." [4:57 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Sadness: Artemis broke into another scowl, jaw going tense. "This isn't fucking fair. None of this is fair." [4:57 PM] Eri [around]: "Bye Aderyn" That's all Eri says. [4:57 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "N-None of it... none of it is fair...! The motive drove Lady Aderyn to kill Akihiko, and now... it kills her for it...!?" [4:58 PM] Cerviel Winter | Room: "...I hope you become an angel one day" [4:58 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana didn't say anything more. What else could she say? [4:59 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: Aderyn shakes her head. "No p-pearly, wh-white gates for me," she mutters in response to Cerviel. [4:59 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Sadness: "...Addy. I..I'm sorry. I hope you get a lotta cute shit wherever you go." [4:59 PM] Wallace Callaghan || Foyer: Wallace had way too many questions and tbh if I was writing the full Wallace he would have been interrogating her but im just gonna [5:00 PM] Cerviel Winter | Room: He looked away. He didn't have any further response. [5:01 PM] Keiko Taisei | Death time: "Do you have something you wish to tell those outside? I can...I can tell them, your friends..." [5:03 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: Aderyn winces, visibly. "Don't... tell them." She begs. "Please," her eyes well up again. This is... very selfish of her, and she knows. But.. still. "Just.. Don't-- Don't even.. talk to them. Just.. Leave it be. They'll ww-wonder, where, where I went, and... mm-move on. It's... fine." [5:04 PM] Keiko Taisei | Death time: "I think... they'll look for you. They won't forget you, Aderyn. But, as you wish." [5:07 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: Lake shook a bit as she snapped out of her slight daze when she processed Hazel putting the thoughts she had into the words she was looking for a minute before.
'God, I'm embarrassing! NOW I know what I want to say!'
"...Yeah, none it is fair!" Lake grabbed her stand and began to shout, "Fuck, I take back wishing it was quick as my last words to you, Aderyn-san! That's weak, coming from me! None of this bullshit is fair, and you shouldn't have to fucking die when you're not even twenty! What the fuck! Whoever's behind that disgusting swine will pay for the bullshit they put you, Oshiro-kun and the rest of us through!!! Neither you or him will have died in vain, I swear it!!"
"And if they're real friends, Aderyn-san, they'll miss the fuck out of you and remember you!! If not, I'll remember you! And Oshiro-kun, too!!!" [5:09 PM] classical bishop sacrifice: Aderyn sniffles and... nods. There's nothing else she can say. [5:09 PM] Monoboar!: "Gyahaha, touching! But this is the end, whether it matters to ya losers or not!"
Monoboar slams a gavel onto a big red button, and Aderyn is promptly whisked away by a metal clamp attached to a chain snapping around her neck, and she's off...
Aderyn Bishop has been found guilty. Time for the punishment.

[5:12 PM] Keiko Taisei | Death time: Keiko flinches as she hears the train, letting out a sob as she presses her hand tighter against her face as if that'd protect her from the sight. [5:12 PM] Cerviel Winter | Room: Cerviel flinched, finally allowing himself to cry. It didn't matter that he hadn't known her. His tears fell down onto the ground anyways. [5:12 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Investigation: Rayne wants to scream but they just gag, having to turn themself around and cover their mouth. Why. WHY? [5:13 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: Packie taps impatiently on his stand, still staring at the train. [5:13 PM] Monoboar!: "That's all for now, maggots. Save th' sobbin' and head back into the elevator! Scram!"
Monoboar slams his gavel, closing the case on this trial, and vanishes from his throne. [5:14 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Sadness: Artemis, for the first time in everyone's presence, whimpers. She whined from the back of her throat, turning away. Fuck. Fuck! She leaned on the pedastal to keep herself steady, trying to blink away the wet heat from her eyes. After a moment she steadied herself, walking off to the elevator with a stagger to her step. [5:14 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana fucking books it to the elevator. [5:14 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel shakily steps into the elevator. [5:14 PM] Cerviel Winter | Room: Numb, he walked back onto the elevator. [5:14 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: Packie fucking yeets it. [5:15 PM] Wilma Ortega || foy air: Wilma tips her hat downwards, listening to but not watching the execution. She won't revel in Aderyn's death.
She lingers in the trial room, not because she wants to, but in case anyone won't go back. She can escort them. [5:15 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana can't wait to go to her room and scream. [5:16 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Investigation: Rayne bolts to the elevator as fast as their legs can take them. The situation's magnitude hitting them hard finally. Once they get into the elevator they just hunker down into a ball. [5:16 PM] Qiuyue Xu ♣ Foyer: Qiuyue rubs her arms nervously. [5:17 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: Out of respect for Aderyn (And just not willing to see a live death), Lake looked away from the screen.
...She heard the train and put two, two and two together. The first two being, 'Oh, a train.' Second, 'At... At least is was quick.' And third, '...Why a train?'
...
'...Oh, god,' A sick thought seeped into her mind before she dashed to the elevator, wanting to keep the train of thought from going on. [5:17 PM] Keiko Taisei | Death time: Keiko solemnly makes her way inside the elevator, crying quietly once more. None of this is fair. They don't deserve this.
'Akihiko, Aderyn...I'm sorry.' she thinks to herself, wishing she could've done something, anything to prevent this from happening. [5:18 PM] Wilma Ortega || foy air: Alright, I think everyone's in. Wilma follows. [5:18 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana's still acting all princess-like in the elevator, hands on her hips, giving everyone a stare-down. Her eyes are puffy, though, and her cheeks are red. [5:20 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Trial: "...Do you need a hug, Minami-sama?" [5:20 PM] Monoboar!: The elevator closes behind everyone and rises back to the foyer, now two less people but a heavy atmosphere weighing down on all of you...

CHAPTER 3 TRIAL TRANSCRIPT
Monoboar, after irritatingly grumbling at the scene, announces "HEAD T' THE FOYER AT ONCE!" with a snort.
He begins his travel down.
TRIAL 3 - BEGINNING
Tumblr media
[5:05 PM] Monoboar!: As you all crowd into the elevator and the doors shut behind you, the noise of the elevator slowly descending down rings in your ears, the low, ominous hum of everything moving around you.
The more you descend, the more it dawns on you-- yet another person has died in such a short span of time... Five people, with Eri's corpse burned into your minds.
Yet another class trial.
....
The elevator finally stops to it's destination, revealing a large trial room, with stands all in a circle. Four stands now bear the mark of the fallen, five portraits pertaining to Akihiko, Aderyn, Akemi, Wallace, and Eri.
Head to your stands.
@Alive [5:06 PM] Keekoo Taisei | I hate this pt2: Keiko silently moves to her stand. [5:06 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Fuck: Lake shaked out her hoodie before walking up to her stand.
"...Hazel-san, do you wanna hold my hand?"
@Hazel Hazeldine (Mars) [5:07 PM] Riku Yasui...: Riku went to his stand. [5:08 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | baby chain: "....yes, that would be lovely." Hazel says shakily, taking Lake's hand into her own.
@Lake Kawaguchi (Florence) [5:08 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 ...: Renzo goes to their stand and sits on the edge of it, as usual. [5:08 PM] Cerviel Winter | Sulking: Cerviel headed to his stand. He's a wreck. He keeps making a low whining noise. [5:08 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: Maggie rubs her tired eyes. [5:11 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar hops onto his seat, giving a quick angry look at everybody before slamming his gavel down a bit too forcefully.
"I'm in a friggin' bad mood t'day! Just solve the damn trial for Eri Nakama!" He yells out.

Her body is charred where the skin is visible," [5:15 PM] Keekoo Taisei | I hate this pt2: {Keiko grips her stand tightly as Riku speaks. This hurts, man.} [5:15 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: :consentbullet: "No duh, it had to be an explosion that killed her! Just like, look at her skin!" [5:16 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 ...: { “It was probably very painful, whichever way it wass.” } [5:16 PM] Keekoo Taisei | I hate this pt2: {She grits her teeth, looking down. This hurts even more.} [5:16 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| Just A Bit Emo: :consentbullet:  Artemis winced. "Jesus, yeah. She even left an dent on the wall when she hit it. There's blood running down it to her body." [5:17 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: "And it like, smelled. From the explosion I'd assume." [5:18 PM] Keekoo Taisei | I hate this pt2: "What...what was it that caused the explosion? Do any of you have theories?" [5:20 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: "Someone got sciencey... Like, Bill Nye sciencey..." [5:20 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "Huh, speaking of explosions."
:cluebullet: "There's a book in the chem lab for building bombs. A page about a low explosive bomb was bookmarked, and someone even wrote down the materials they needed and how much of it." [5:20 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 ...: Renzo taps the side of their mask. :consentbullet: “Ahh, yes, so some sort of a chemical reaction, perhapss...” [5:21 PM] Keekoo Taisei | I hate this pt2: Keiko's eyes widen. "A book...? I think I might have something useful to share, in that case..." [5:22 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: "Do share..." Maggie does a tired wave. [5:22 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 ...: { “Oho?” } [5:25 PM] Keekoo Taisei | I hate this pt2: :testitheorybullet: "Yesterday, I stopped to read in the library at about 10 AM...and I saw Eri-san come in, take a book from one of the shelves, and leave." she says, frowning. "She was also muttering something...'This time for sure'."
"I didn't know what she meant by that, and I had been so rude to her before...I couldn't bring myself to question her. And she left." Keiko admits, "And now she's dead."
Tumblr media
[5:26 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: "Does that mean... she's done whatever "this" is before? Maybe she's thought about... something?" [5:27 PM] Kubo Tachibana | BLEHEHEH: “I saw the book she grabbed too! When we were in the chemistry lab anyway...” He looks around. “It was...um...a book on how to build bombs... i think... [5:28 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: "The book Pickle mentioned?" [5:28 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: {"OUT OF ALL FUCKING PEOPLE, YOU TOO?!"} [5:28 PM] Kubo Tachibana | BLEHEHEH: “Oh... yeah!!” [5:29 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: {"Issa funny nickname...

"Books! Books. And bombs." [5:32 PM] Keekoo Taisei | I hate this pt2: "I don't know...that could be the case, or..." she lets out a shaky breath, stopping herself. [5:32 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: "Well, maybe-baby we can consider... what kinda bomb...?" [5:32 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: Maggie tries to lightly slap herself awake. [5:33 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: "And maybe... We have to consider if she was alone on this..." [5:34 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "It was a low 'splosive bomb tha' was bookmarked.." He slumps down on his stand. Sleepy. [5:34 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: "Low explosives! So that means..."
She holds three fingers up, and stares at them with slow blinking eyes. [5:34 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: "..." [5:35 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: "F-Fill me in here I'm running out of vocabulary." [5:35 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 ...: “It means! Umm.... low. Explosivess... that are. Low...” Renzo doesn’t know either. [5:36 PM] Keekoo Taisei | I hate this pt2: "It probably means the bomb had a small radius." [5:36 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| Just A Bit Emo: "Small. Meant to cause damage within a certain space." Of course she'd know about exsplovies. [5:36 PM] Keekoo Taisei | I hate this pt2: :consentbullet: "Yes, as Artemis said." [5:36 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: :consentbullet: "Yes! That. So I assume she wouldn't wanna kill us all..." [5:37 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: "At least, I don't think."
Tumblr media
5:38 PM] Keekoo Taisei | I hate this pt2: "I don't think so, either."
:cluebullet: "I found...notes. One of them was in the foyer, and it read...'You guys can solve this'." she seems more and more dejected as she says this. [5:39 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 ...: Renzo perks up. “Ohhh, there were more?” [5:39 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Demon Time: "Oh ohhhh me found that one too yes yesssss!" [5:40 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| Just A Bit Emo: "Ah. It sounds like..." She paused, frowning. Let the demons bring up their findings first. [5:42 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: "So the culprit is... encouraging us?" [5:43 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 ...: Renzo raises their hand. They have clues to share. “We found two more notes, yes!” They hold up two fingers. :cluebullet: ”One was.... in the entryway, yess... it said, ‘I’m sorry’.” They pause. ”And the other one! On the kitchen counter. It saaaid... ‘Can’t’! Just can’t. It was written very very messy.” [5:43 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: "Odd... Notes..." [5:44 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| Just A Bit Emo: "I don't. Don't like the implications here." [5:44 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: "I don't wanna think what I'm thinking right now." [5:44 PM] Keekoo Taisei | I hate this pt2: :consentbullet: Keiko nods at Renzo's words. "I found those two, as well. So they are three in total, it seems."
"T-they...they're in Eri's handwriting. I know it. I just do." she says, a few tears running down her cheeks. "I recognize it. H-how...why would she write that?" her grip on the stand turns shaky. [5:44 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: "It's... Eri's handwriting?" [5:45 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: Packie blinks, turning his gaze to the floor. [5:45 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 ...: “...” Renzo isn’t picking up what everyone’s probably thinking right now. [5:46 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| Just A Bit Emo: "I... I thinkif what Keiko says is true what I say last night would make a lotta sense...' [5:47 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: "This... This can't be some sorta..."
She pauses, biting her tongue.
"Suicide...?" [5:47 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: "Like, intentional notes, Eri gathering stuff together..." [5:48 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 ...: { “Ouhhhgg...” } [5:49 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| Just A Bit Emo: :consentbullet:  Artemis winced, giving a nod. "I'd say so... I- I saw her in a weird place last night." [5:49 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: "Go on..." [5:49 PM] Keekoo Taisei | I hate this pt2: :counterbullet: Keiko grits her teeth. "No."
"She didn't do that. Someone murdered her. Eri wouldn't have done that!"
Tumblr media
[5:49 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: "Eep!" [5:49 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| Just A Bit Emo: "Keiko, please, just listen--" [5:49 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: :counterbullet: "But- She hadta accidentally explode herself!"

[5:52 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| Just A Bit Emo: Thank you Renzo. Artemis leans back and takes a breath.
:testitheorybullet: "Last night.. ya know. Before Eri died, at like 10:30 I saw her leaving out the chem lab. She was carrying a box of something and look like she could burst into tears at any moment. She left before I could say anything to her, though." [5:53 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: "..."
"She... wasn't at a good place, and now she's dead." [5:54 PM] Keekoo Taisei | I hate this pt2: Keiko lets go of her stand and grips her hair instead. "No, no, no...no I would've noticed...I..."
"I talked to her yesterday! She was fine! She wouldn't..." [5:54 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 ...: “It seems likely... that there was no one else involved in this case, yes.” Renzo looks kind of like :pits: rn. “So... she.. caused that explosion herself...? Made it and set it off and everythingg...” Mumble mumble. [5:54 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: :consentbullet: Maggie nods to the demonologist. [5:55 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: "Honey, Keiko, even suicidal people can mask their emotions." [5:55 PM] Keekoo Taisei | I hate this pt2: "I would've noticed! There is no way! Someone...one of you killed her!" she's yelling, now. [5:56 PM] Kubo Tachibana | BLEHEHEH: {"Yeah...my sister was really good at that...."} [5:56 PM] Cerviel Winter | Sulking: Cerviel looks sick. He'd been pretty close to Eri. He hadn't noticed anything? [5:56 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 ...: { “...” } [5:56 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: {"I'm, really sorry to hear that, Kubo."} [5:57 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: "Keiko- Look at the evidence! Nothing else suggests that she was with someone!" [5:57 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| Just A Bit Emo: Artemis frowned, rubbing her arms. "Keiko... didn't she already have issues with herself...?" [5:58 PM] Keekoo Taisei | I hate this pt2: "T-there must be something we didn't go over! There is no way."
Keiko turns to Artemis. "S-she did, but--We were working on that! She said she would...I was going to help her...I..." she breaks down, falling against her stand as she cries. [6:03 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "It makes sense, though. The letters she left behind, 'nd whatever.." He's mumbling at this point, too tired to bother. [6:03 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: "Listen, Keiko."
"She's gone." [6:04 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "If anything, you did what you could. You're too hard on yourself." [6:05 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar seemed to have dozed off onto his hoof. [6:05 PM] Monoboar!: "Snzzz..." [6:07 PM] Monoboar!: "Snzzzzzz......" [6:07 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 ...: “HEY MONOBOAR?” [6:07 PM] Riku Yasui...: "Maybe we should continue looking at the clues in hopes for more information. Let's see," He said thinking about the state of the room.
:cluebullet: "The whole room is in disarray, broken glass covers a fair bit of the floor, along with various powders and liquids that were once in containers, supplies around the room are knocked over. On a table at the back of the room is the remaining pieces of an object. The area in the back of the room is heavily scorched. " [6:08 PM] Monoboar!: "Snnnnz- Shit." He's awake. [6:08 PM] Keekoo Taisei | I hate this pt2: {Keiko stays quiet as they speak. Yes please look at the other clues...maybe there'll be something...anything that proves this wrong.} [6:08 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: "Well, the... unpleasant look is from the bomb." [6:08 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: "Broken... from bombs." [6:08 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 ...: { “Hiiiii. Good morning.” Ok Renzo. } [6:09 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| Just A Bit Emo: "Yeah.. but- Speaking of letters n' letters... I think I found one we haven't gone over yet." [6:10 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: Maggie looks at the case file, tapping her finger on the "Note 1" clue. [6:11 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| Just A Bit Emo: :cluebullet: "Mhm. It was  a crumpled up note in the chem lab in a knocked over trash can. “It needed to end this way”. That's what it said..." [6:11 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: Packie slumps over his stand again, groaning. [6:12 PM] Keekoo Taisei | I hate this pt2: {This is even worse. Keiko can't even bring herself to speak, and just cries silently.} [6:12 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: "'It needed...'?"
"No it didn't..." Maggie huffs out. [6:14 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: :cluebullet:  "She could'a used this pen," he takes out a ballpen, "to write it. It's almost out of ink." [6:15 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Demon Time: "Ohhhhhhhh me has some clueess yes! One second I will think."
:cluebullet: "Me went into the art room and it was a disaster! Yes yes there were papers all over the floor.  Some were even torn up!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND me also found a pen in the corner of the art room! It was uncapped and it was pretty much dry of ink yes yes!!"
[6:16 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: "..." [6:17 PM] Keekoo Taisei | I hate this pt2: "..." [6:17 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: "Nothing contradicts our suicide claim." [6:18 PM] Keekoo Taisei | I hate this pt2: She's still shaking a bit, but she's stopped crying at least.
"So she really did it..." Keiko breathes out, "W-what do we do now? We can't find a culprit. There's no culprit." [6:19 PM] Monoboar!: "Darn straight there'sa culprit!" [6:19 PM] Monoboar!: "Who killed the victim?" [6:20 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| Just A Bit Emo: "..."
"The... victim killed herself. She's her own culprit." [6:21 PM] Monoboar!: "Correct-o mundo! And I'm friggin pissed, so let's get this vote on! Harhar!"
Same procedure as last trial, voting screens power on your stands, and there's a selection of students to choose from.
@Alive [6:21 PM] Kubo Tachibana | BLEHEHEH: Kubo votes for Eri.... [6:21 PM] Keekoo Taisei | I hate this pt2: ...Keiko votes for herself. [6:21 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: Maggie votes for Eri. [6:22 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 ...: Renzo hops off of their stand so they can vote for Eri. [6:22 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| Just A Bit Emo: Artemis gives Eri a vote. [6:22 PM] Riku Yasui...: Riku votes for Eri [6:22 PM] Cerviel Winter | Sulking: Cerviel voted for Eri. He's been crying for a while. [6:22 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | baby chain: Hazel votes for Eri. [6:22 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: Hana votes for Eri. [6:22 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Demon Time: Rayne votes Eri. [6:24 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Fuck: Lake voted for Eri. [6:25 PM] Monoboar!: "Tha's it? Well..."
After everyone had voted, the screens flicker black, and proceed to light up in anticipation for each profile.
"Grubs and junk, who's the culprit for today's case? Though I'm angry as a boar, seein' culprits gives me some sensa hope!"
...
Tumblr media
[6:26 PM] Monoboar!: "Ding ding ding! It's the one and only victim herself, Eri Nakama! Oink!"
Tumblr media
[6:27 PM] Monoboar!: "Wowzy! Ain't that somethin'- BUT I'M STILL FRIGGIN PISSED ABOUT MY CHEMISTRY LAB!" He slams down his gavel. [6:28 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "..Hm." [6:28 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | baby chain: Hazel looks down at her shoes, troubled. [6:28 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| Just A Bit Emo: "Yea, yeah." She sneered, huffing. "Can we go now?" [6:28 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | baby chain: She swallows down her nerves, asking a very... unfortunate question.
"You favor... an execution at the end of trials, so... are we free of that burden, this time?" [6:30 PM] Monoboar!: "Weeell... Two responses. Lemme say this:"
"Snrk-" Monoboar grabs a paper from his seat, waving it in the air. "We got mail!" [6:30 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | baby chain: Hello? [6:30 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 ...: “Oh boy!” [6:30 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | baby chain: "Eh?" [6:30 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: "Wuh?" [6:30 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| Just A Bit Emo: "...I don't think I like this." [6:30 PM] Keekoo Taisei | I hate this pt2: Keiko silently looks up. What the fuck. [6:31 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | baby chain: "M-May you elaborate on that?" Hazel asks nervously, knees trembling. [6:31 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "Huh?" is all Hana says. [6:31 PM] Monoboar!: "This damn chick didn't just write four notes, but five! Talk 'bout overkill, snrk." [6:31 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "You're wrong 'cause I only found four. Tch. You have, like, no brain." [6:32 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "Wait a second. Did she write something, someone's name-" [6:32 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | baby chain: Hazel places a palm on her cheek. "Wh...What?" [6:32 PM] Keekoo Taisei | I hate this pt2: "A f-fifth...y-you have to show us!" [6:32 PM] Monoboar!: "This is th' fifth thing she wrote, dammit." [6:32 PM] Monoboar!: "Lemme read! Lemme read!" [6:32 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: Hana glares at Monoboar. [6:33 PM] Monoboar!: "But first, I hadt' take it away cuz that'd make this case a bit more obvious." [6:33 PM] Monoboar!: "Like, suicide notes, snrk." [6:33 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | baby chain: "You...!" Hazel's fists clench. "You stupid pig! Snorting about how angry thine are and then messing with the scene!" [6:34 PM] Monoboar!: "Well, I know it's Eri now, thanks to y'all!" He snorts. [6:34 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar clears his throat as he reads the paper in front of him.

[6:38 PM] Keekoo Taisei | I hate this pt2: Keiko listens to every word.
"Eri-san..."
Tumblr media
[6:39 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | baby chain: Hazel looks uncomfortable, shifting her feet and looking around at everyone with a brow raised. [6:39 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| Just A Bit Emo: Artemis winced, hugging herself. "Jesus..." There were rough childhoods and then there was this... It's rendered her speechless. [6:39 PM] Cerviel Winter | Sulking: Cerviel felt his heart break several times as he listened. He clutched the doll Eri had given him as he started to cry again. He hid his face in the doll in attempt to muffle some of his sobs. [6:39 PM] Riku Yasui...: Riku covered his mouth surprised and he even started to cry which was rare of him to do. This really got to him and it's hard for him to keep his composure. [6:40 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 HELP!: "..."
Tumblr media
[6:40 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | baby chain: "...alright." Hazel looks down at the floor. [6:41 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: Packie clears his throat, looking down. [6:41 PM] Keekoo Taisei | I hate this pt2: The words really sink in. All of that...happened to Eri. She had all of that hiding inside of her, all that pain...
Keiko loses her grip on her cane and falls to her knees near her stand, both hands covering her mouth as her shoulders shake. "Eri-san...Eri-san I'm so sorry..." [6:41 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | baby chain: She shares a glance with Packie. [6:42 PM] Kubo Tachibana | BLEHEHEH: Kubo buries himself in his blanket. Poor Eri.....he felt helpless, like if he had been there he could have done something. But he doesn't say anything. [6:43 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: He looks back and gives a tired peace sign. Hi Hazel. [6:43 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | baby chain: She nods at him tiredly. [6:43 PM] Monoboar!: "Oh boo-hoo, I'll give a "fuck you" to you too Eri- snrk."  *Monoboar says before tearing up the letter into tiny shreds, throwing it into the trial circle like confetti. "Take that- Gwaha."
"Anyways, Hazel, repeat yer question again?" Monoboar scratches his chin. [6:44 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: He slams his head on his stand. Get him out, please. [6:44 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | baby chain: "...hm?" Hazel hums, popped out of her growing tired reverie and the shock of Eri's note. "...o-oh, I... oh dear, um."
She coughs.
"We're free of the burden of execution this time, yes?" [6:48 PM] Monoboar!: The mascot takes a small sniff of air, looking straight at the poet.
"Nah, I'm still pissed 'bout property damages."
Monoboar slams a gavel onto the big red button without breaking for a glance, with mechanical whirring can be heard inside the walls.
Eri Nakama has been found guilty. Time for the punishment.

[6:50 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: Packie gets the FUCK out of here. He's already near the elevator. He's not having it. [6:50 PM] Kubo Tachibana | BLEHEHEH: Kubo makes a run for it. She was dead.

[6:50 PM] Cerviel Winter | Sulking: "FUCK YOU!" Cerviel yelled at Monoboar. [6:51 PM] Monoboar!: "Case done! I'mma happy boar now." Monoboar heads to the elevator to open it.

[6:51 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | baby chain: Hazel just runs towards the elevator hastily, refusing to watch the rest of the execution and hurries into the elevator. [6:51 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: Hana gets up as fast as she can, tripping over her own feet and racing towards the elevator so fast that she hits the elevator wall once she enters it. [6:51 PM] Cerviel Winter | Sulking: Cerviel gets into the elevator. He's crying a lot harder than he was before. What the fuck. [6:52 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 ...: Renzo is like :pits: again. They weren’t expecting an execution this time around. They leave their stand and shuffle into the elevator. [6:52 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| Just A Bit Emo: Artemis kinds of scuttles over to grab Keiko and high tails it out of there. [6:53 PM] Keekoo Taisei | I hate this pt2: Keiko is grabbed.
Thankfully she had the presence of mind to grab her cane before that happened. [6:53 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "What the FUCK? What kind of fucking thing does that to a dead fucking body of someone and thinks it's alrig-" He lets out a long groan before taking a deep breath, tapping his fingers against the elevator to calm down.
"Okay. What the fuck." [6:53 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | baby chain: Hazel clings onto Packie's arm out of terror. [6:54 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: He pats her back. [6:54 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: Hana clings to Hazel. [6:54 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: Baby chain. [6:54 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | baby chain: Baby chain. [6:54 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: Baby chain. [6:55 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar shrugs to everyone as they crowds in, sending the elevator back up.
Not another death, but another execution.

CHAPTER 5 TRIAL TRANSCRIPT
"You know the time, buckaroos! Head to the foyer, pronto! Snrk! Oink!"
Tumblr media
TRIAL 5 - BEGINNING
Tumblr media
[4:51 PM] Monoboar!: The dread of seeing a person die still lingers within the elevator. Another one lost, and perhaps another one after this trial.
Only you lot have the capacity of finding the culprit.
...
The stops at the trial room for the fifth time for the time you've been here. Ten stands take place of the ones who once lived: ten portraits of Akihiko, Aderyn, Akemi, Wallace, Wilma, Eri, Riku, Qiuyue, Rayne, and Keiko.
Monoboar heads to his seat, and chanted out, "Head to yer stands at once, oink!"
@Alive [4:51 PM] Willy Wonder | 'Splorin': Willy. Stand. Yeah. [4:51 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: ...
Tumblr media
[4:52 PM] I'm sorry, Miss Taisei: Cerviel headed to his stand reluctantly and placed his doll on top. [4:52 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: Artemis wobbles to her stand. She looks like she's had much better times. [4:52 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 Are Ya Mining Son?: Renzo goes to their stand and gives Artemis a sad glance. [4:55 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: Hana looks to her left. It's a straight row of three empty stands before Willy's. Damn...she doesn't like that. She hadn't payed that much notice until right now.
"Okay." she slams her hands on her stand. "Start talking, 'cause I wanna get out of this stupid room as much as everyone else..." [4:56 PM] Monoboar!: "Y'all know the drill, y'all should be experts at this! Though, I can't expect much from grubby minds, gwahaha..."
The boar slams his gavel down excitedly, looking towards the circle of people.
"Let the trial for Keiko Taisei friggin' start! Oink!"

[4:59 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "Ugh. Okay. So, like..." she started. "I was walking back to my room and there was a, like...brown-ish red-ish handprint on the thing? I mean-- the wall?" she explained. She's tired. "I think it's blood. Well, duh, it's blood. I mean, what else would it be? Chocolate pudding?" [5:00 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: :consentbullet: "It's blood. Saw it for myself." [5:01 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "Ugh..." she groaned. "Gross..."
Tumblr media
[5:02 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "The place where we found her seemed kinda normal, 'side from the body."
:cluebullet: "There's only one set of footprints and a trail of something, or someone, being dragged." [5:03 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "Well, she has a cane. Maybe she was dragging it along? I dunno?" [5:04 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "It was a pretty fucking big trail." [5:04 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "Well, at least there's evidence there's a killer, right?" [5:04 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "Ya can't drag yourself, that's dumb." [5:05 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "Maybe she was, wait...was her leg, like, not there...? When we found her? Maybe she was dragging her other leg? Hey, it's a good hypothesis!" [5:06 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: "S-She has... both legs at-attached to her body." [5:06 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "What the heck." [5:06 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "I think you're thinkin' of Artemis, Hime-honey." [5:07 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "Hey! No one can think straight in here, c'mon!" she huffs, looking embarrassed nonetheless. [5:08 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "..."
"Anyways. I should mention the body," [5:08 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "I had a closer look at it while Artemis was there, I think." [5:08 PM] Willy Wonder | 'Splorin': { "Go on..." } [5:09 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "Well, Artemis altered the body and it's position, so I couldn't see how it was placed originally." [5:11 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: :cluebullet: "However! I did see her wounds on the top, and a shallower wound at the back. Her clothes were wet, assumedly from the damp cellar conditions." [5:12 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: "I-I.. I remember how her body was at first." [5:12 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "OH!" Hana exclaimed. "Her cane! It was right next to her body, and, like...it was covered in blood and it looked broken." she said, seemingly proud of her perceptiveness. "Maybe someone, like, hit her with it...?" [5:13 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: :consentbullet: "Lookin' how the case file says she died from blunt force trauma, that has to be it!" [5:13 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "Anyways, go on, Artemis." [5:15 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: :cluebullet:  She gave a rough cough, tilting her head downwards to stare at her stand. "U-Um... When I-I first saw her... she was face down on the cellar floor-- A-And she had her hands out as if she was trying to drag herself towards the door..." [5:15 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: Hana grimaced. [5:16 PM] Willy Wonder | 'Splorin': "Must have had some life left in her..." [5:16 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: :consentbullet: "Seein' how was still alive when she was discovered, I'd think so too." [5:17 PM] Willy Wonder | 'Splorin': { "I meant as she was left there, but yeah." } [5:17 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: Packie winces. Okay, moving on from that.
:cluebullet: "There was one of those motive cards right beside her body. Maybe it's the one she received, or maybe the culprit's." [5:19 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: :consentbullet: "I found it... it was KUBOcard. I think I grabbed it..." She did indeed, she pulls it out. [5:19 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "Oh! That reminds me again! I read that thing! It said something like, I know your secret, meet me in the foyer and explain yourself. I dunno. It was written with really, really neat handwriting, too." [5:20 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: { "I meant the motive card, but good thing you saw that too, Princess." } [5:20 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "Taisei-san's, probably." [5:20 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: { "Shuddup! I know what you meant, I was just, uh...adding on!" } [5:21 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: { "Cool."}"Would you, uh, mind reading it to us? Or would you rather have us read all the secrets we got first?" [5:22 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: "I-I can do it." [5:22 PM] Willy Wonder | 'Splorin': { "I wouldn't mind knowing who got mine..." } [5:22 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: { "What the heck would they know about me anyway?" } [5:22 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "Let's hear Kubo's card first, then we can discuss the motive cards." [5:23 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: She cleared her throat. Everyone be silent. :cluebullet:  "It says. 'What's new, Nosferatu? Kubo had to sacrifice his own sister to become a vampire!' And... yeah-" [5:24 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!:
Tumblr media
[5:24 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: { "I hate the supernatural. Fuck my life." } [5:24 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: { " " } [5:24 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: Hana blinks. [5:24 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: {"Kubo is too busy playing Minecraft to refute this."} [5:24 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: { "Damn." } [5:24 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: "But considering... it could be a lie." [5:24 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: {"Yeah he's playing Minecraft."} [5:25 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: "I mean-- Mines wasn't true, Lake showed me..." [5:25 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "That's the thing! Some cards, I've discovered, have false information..." Hazel agrees. "I'd shared mine with Lady Uzo's, and it wasn't true." [5:25 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "I got Lake's thing, and I wouldn't believe it!"
She takes out her pocketed card. [5:25 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "Really? Thank friggin' goodness! I got Pickle-nii-chan's..." [5:26 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "I 'unno much about mine to say if it's true or not. And I'd rather not know."
He takes his card out and reads it again, making a face at it. [5:26 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "Wait, you got mine? What does it say." [5:26 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 Are Ya Mining Son?: "Do... some have false information...? Or are all of them, wrong?" [5:27 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: "We'll.. have to tell and see." [5:27 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "Oh, uhh..." she fidgets. "Hold on a second." she digs through her apron pocket, a packet of sugar falling out in the proccess. She finds a crumpled piece of paper.
"It was written by the boar, obviously. Um... 'Oi princess! Did ya know that your friend Packie caused his sister's "accident" on purpose out of jealousy? Can't see him the same way, can't ya?'" she read the card out loud, crudely mimicing the boar's voice. [5:27 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar sniffs. [5:27 PM] Willy Wonder | 'Splorin': "Yeah I got Keiko's 'secret'... That doesn't sound good right about now, doesn't it?" [5:27 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: Hazel's brows raise, looking at Packie. [5:28 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "Ah, you did?" [5:28 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "The fuck? No, that's not true. It doesn't matter right now, though, not important." [5:28 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: Hazel is doing some math in her head right now. [5:28 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: "Okay- Who else wants to share...?" [5:28 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "Okay! I believe you, like, a thousand times more then that stupid hog." she said, but secretly she was curious. What was true about it? [5:29 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "Can I share Lake's?" [5:29 PM] Willy Wonder | 'Splorin': "Yeah it said something like 'Keiko poisons her parents to take care of them' or some shit like that." [5:29 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: She mimics Monoboar's voice, in the same vein as Hana. "Hey! Heard that lil' Lake tried to slip harmful substances into a batch of cookies made at her camp but got caught! Ain't that a treat? Bwahaha!" [5:29 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "Go ahead, Uzoamaka-san. I--" [5:29 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 Are Ya Mining Son?: "Ouuuahhhh... scary.." [5:29 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: Artemis lets out a teary scoff at Willy's talk. "Y-Yeah fucking right." [5:29 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "NO?" [5:29 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "...a bit late, but perhaps wait your turn." [5:30 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: She's referring to everyone. [5:30 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: Hana groaned. [5:30 PM] Monoboar!: "Y'all's impressions of me friggin' suck."
Tumblr media
[5:30 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: "Who.. else. I can share the one I got." [5:30 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "I should share mine, but you may go first, Lady Artemis." [5:30 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "WHY THE FUCK WOULD I PUT SHIT IN MY COOKIES FOR KIDS!!! YOU'RE JUST STOOPING TO LIES TO GET US TO CRACK AT THIS POINT!!!" [5:31 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: She puts on her best Monoboar expression, but since she's been in tears the last hour and a half it's pretty shitty. "News Flash 'bout Willy! He sped up his mentor's death so he could take his place! So cruel, that boy..." [5:31 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "Shuddup, hog! You're wrong! I bet you couldn't do any better, stupid idiot! You sound like you have a potato stuck in your throat at all times! I'll eat you for my dinner! Actually, no, I don't even wanna touch you let alone eat you." [5:32 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "Mm, I can read mine whenever you guys want." [5:32 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "Bruh." She refers to Willy's secret. [5:32 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: {"Hana,"} [5:32 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: {"What? I'm right!"} [5:32 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar plugs his ears. [5:32 PM] Willy Wonder | 'Splorin': "Wh-" Willy stepped back at the lie of his. "What the fuck! I would never! Mortimer was a better parent than-" He stops himself. "... Now's not the time for that, but anyways... Yeah, not true!" [5:33 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: Hazel is making a face. "...and you all swear on your very life that these secrets are not true?" [5:34 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: "I can swear that mines wasn't true... Ask Strawberry..." [5:34 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "I swear on my life and my mom's and my mama's!" [5:34 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "YES! I'M NOT FUCKING HEARTLESS!" [5:34 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "That's like, three lives. That's how much I swear." [5:34 PM] Willy Wonder | 'Splorin': "Not only on my life, but The Magnificent Mort's as well!" He shoots out some doves. [5:34 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 Are Ya Mining Son?: { "Ghhuuhhh..." } [5:34 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "Mine definitely isn't true. You can ask me more about it later if you want to know what's up." [5:35 PM] Monoboar!: "Oh yeah, Kubo's playing Minecraft. Let me get his card."
Tumblr media
[5:35 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: Hana made direct eye contact with Packie. [5:35 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: Hazel sighs. [5:35 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: Waiting for Monoboar. [5:35 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: He ignores Hana. [5:36 PM] Monoboar!: He yoinks the card out of Kubo's pocket, reading off as so:
"To thee, thy vampire. It has come to terms that Hana created a cult of her personality whose members she calls her "subjects". Bwahaha! Ain't that a card?" [5:36 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "Why'dyoudoShakespearetalkwithhiscard." [5:36 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "WHAT?" [5:36 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "...okay, that sounds nothing like Hana. Are you even trying? And why are you speaking like me? DOTH THOU MOTHER KNOW I'VE EATEN HER FOR BREAKFAST?" [5:37 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: {"Jesus-"} [5:37 PM] Monoboar!: "Fie! Fie!" He shakes a fist.
Tumblr media
[5:37 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: Packie holds back a laugh. The thought of Hana controlling a cult was too much. [5:37 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: Hana would never! Hazel snorts a bit, but puts back on an angry face. [5:37 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "That's not friggin' true! What the heck? You're not even trying!"
Tumblr media
[5:38 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: "We're getting off track... has anyone not gone yet..?" [5:38 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "I haven't read mine yet, so I can read it now?" [5:39 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: God fucking dammit. [5:39 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: Hazel was about to speak but looks at Packie. [5:39 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "Ugh, mine said Artemis killed her mom on accident, or something, but that's not true, as if you could expect it to be anywhere near a truth." [5:39 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: He looks back. Thank you. "I have Fujita-kun's secret, let me fuckin'.." he reads it out loud in a monotone voice.  "From the down below, Renzo killed their parents because Zuz'gamath asked them to! A devil indeed! Gwahaha!"
He shudders after that. Bazing a I fucking hate supernatural shit. [5:40 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "These are sooooo farfetched." [5:40 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: Hazel likes it when it doesn't include weird bullshit. [5:40 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: Hazel looks at Renzo. [5:40 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: Artemis looks ready to snap. "I-I'm gonna kill that fucking pig--" [5:40 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 Are Ya Mining Son?: Bazing a I hate boars. Renzo looked uncomfortable. "That's.. that's n-not true.." [5:41 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "Both of those have to do with them killing their parents or something! You aren't trying, you aren't trying, you stupid hog! You smell SO DISGUSTING! I'M GOING TO GAG!" [5:41 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: Hazel looks around. Did no one get something of hers? Oh well. [5:41 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: She clears her throat. "May I say mine, then?" [5:41 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: "Go ahead, Haze..." [5:41 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: Hana looks at her friend. [5:41 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "Yeah, then Renzo's, then Cerviel's." [5:42 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "Whoever they got, they still gots to share." [5:42 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "A-Anyways, with that in our information as well, for this case, would it make every one of these false? Because even in Lady Uzo's," She pulls the card out to read it, not bothering to recite every word. "Uzoamaka let someone die instead of helping them, all for getting the scoop." [5:42 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "...But of course, Lady Uzo refutes this as false." [5:42 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "Like why the hell would I do that."
[5:43 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 Are Ya Mining Son?: "Hrhh.. so much death... Uzo is a good friend, not a bad person." [5:43 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: "The pig's not fuckin' trying..." [5:43 PM] Willy Wonder | 'Splorin': "Pbbbbbth! Zoa would fucking never do that, she's too nice for that." Willy crosses his arms. [5:44 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "Exactly... what is the meaning behind all this, Sir Piggy!? I saw through this the very day you gave these to us..." [5:44 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "What? Is the dumb 'twist' you're gonna spin on us gonna be that one of these are actually true? That'd be so cliche." [5:44 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: { Uzoamaka will remember Willy's kind comment. } [5:45 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 Are Ya Mining Son?: Renzo looks around at everyone. "Ah, so... is it my turn..? That is what Uzo said... we-" They pause, "..I got Hazels." [5:45 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "Hm?" Hazel feels a bit nervous now at Hana's speculation. What if hers has a truth? That'd be so embarrassing!! "...yes, go ahead." [5:47 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 Are Ya Mining Son?: "Okayyyy," Renzo takes out their card, which they had decided to take with them to trial because why not. "Fun fact-o! Hazel completely destroyed another writer's reputation because of a lie she told! Oh the writer's world... Boohoooooo..." They read, entirely word-for-word. [5:48 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: She bristles, hands clenching into fists. "Of course not...! I'd never do such a horrid thing-- the writing industry is hard, yes, but I respect others!" [5:48 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "These all sound like a load of barnacles." [5:49 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: "So they were all lies..?"
'She was killed over a lie...' [5:49 PM] I'm sorry, Miss Taisei: Cerviel shifted a little, uneasy. "It should be my turn now, but I um.. have a little bit of bad news." [5:49 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "Whet." [5:49 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 Are Ya Mining Son?: "...Ehh?" [5:49 PM] I'm sorry, Miss Taisei: He sighed. "I never read my card so I don't know whose I got. I buried it in the park." [5:50 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "..." [5:50 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "....!?!??!?!?!?" [5:50 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "Understandable. Have a good day." [5:50 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 Are Ya Mining Son?: "Whhoooppss... well, who didn't hear theirs..?" [5:50 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "WE NEED KUBO'S DIAMOND SHOVEL." [5:50 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: "That.... Understandable- But that could've been vital evidence..." [5:50 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: Hazel stares at Uzo. [5:51 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "God- Damn it. Okay, we can focus on the other clues, for the time being." [5:52 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "I doubt the boar would let us out for some friggin' buried card that's probably a lie." [5:53 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: Hazel is fiddling with her hands a bit, looking down nervously. "But... consider what Hana had speculated. What if that one had a truth?" [5:53 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "How the fuck would we figure out which one is the truth, then?" [5:54 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: Now Hazel wishes Keiko had been able to tell them the killers name... death is fickle. [5:54 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "I don't know, Lake." [5:54 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "...well then, we can perhaps come back to it." [5:54 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: ? [5:54 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "Anyone of us could've lied, but we can look back to it."
:consentbullet: Consent. [5:54 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "Ummm, I have, like, one more thing I noticed. I dunno if it's important, though." [5:54 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: Oh? Hazel looks up at Hana. [5:54 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: "Hm?" [5:55 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "Keiko-chan was holding a little piece of cloth in her hand I think? It looked like it was torn off of...umm, something. Oh, it was darkly colored. I dunno what color it was, but it wasn't light." [5:56 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: "Maybe it came from... The killer's clothes..?" [5:56 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: Oh fuckshit! [5:56 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: Uzoamaka looks down at her mainly neon clothes. [5:57 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: Hana doesn't look down at her clothes. She's wearing bright pink. [5:57 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: Hazel wears bright blue, so! That's all good. Either way, she continues on. "How dark?" She hopes that question makes sense. [5:57 PM] Willy Wonder | 'Splorin': "Violet isn't dark, so I'm out of the question." [5:57 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "Ummm...I dunno, dark? That's all I could see in the cellar light." [5:57 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "Right, right..." Hazel nods. [5:58 PM] I'm sorry, Miss Taisei: Cerviel shifted. Anxious. [5:58 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "You good, Cerviel-kun?" [5:58 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: "That narrows it to a few of us..." [5:58 PM] I'm sorry, Miss Taisei: "I'm.. okay." [5:59 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "Trail and pillar." She taps her ID. [5:59 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 Are Ya Mining Son?: "Oh! Pillar!" [5:59 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "Oh, I got a look at that!"
[6:00 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 Are Ya Mining Son?: :cluebullet: "I saww... one of the two big pillars in the foyer! It had a small bloodstain on it, yess." [6:00 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "..."
"So this means..." [6:00 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "...?" [6:00 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "...Ohhh..." [6:00 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "Well, think 'bout it, why would blood appear in the foyer and bedroom halls?" [6:01 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 Are Ya Mining Son?: "I dunno." [6:01 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: "She was killed elsewhere... and then dragged to the cellar..." [6:01 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "Okay." [6:01 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: :testitheorybullet: "Maybe the killer... for lack of a gentler word, bashed Taisei-san's head against the pillar?" [6:02 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: :consentbullet: "Yeah!" [6:02 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "And not with the cane?" Hana interjected. [6:02 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "Well, there were two wounds." [6:02 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: Hana blinked. "Ohhh..." [6:03 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "Ohhhh." Ok. [6:03 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: :cluebullet: "Cuz, like, there’s a very, VERY obvious trail of blood leading from the pillar Renzo-san mentioned and outside on the grass by the cellar." [6:03 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "Yeah! Alright, we got the big picture." [6:04 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: Hana claps her hands together. [6:04 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: Hazel smacks her lips. [6:05 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: Hana clears her throat. [6:05 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "So, we can conclude the culprit and Keiko met up about that secret thing, the culprit kills Keiko, then dragged her to the root cellar, yes?" [6:05 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: Uzoamaka turns her attention to Hana. [6:05 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: Hana looks at her. "What? I had something caught in my throat." [6:05 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "Oh, sorry, thought you were like, signaling something." [6:05 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "Why would the killer drag her?" [6:06 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 Are Ya Mining Son?: "Perhaps, they are not strong enough to carry our friend Keiko..?" [6:06 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "Well-- I mean, why to the cellar?" [6:06 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 Are Ya Mining Son?: "I dunno." [6:07 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: Hazel doesn't know either. [6:07 PM] Willy Wonder | 'Splorin': "To hide the body probably. Just a guess." [6:07 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "Because it's spooky." [6:07 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "I was suspecting the same thing." Not you Hana. [6:07 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "The dungeon woulda fit more, 'cause of edge factor." [6:07 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: Hana nods. [6:08 PM] Willy Wonder | 'Splorin': { "Not even a killer would wanna go in there..." } [6:08 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "Maybe get Taisei-san scared...? What the fuck, man..." [6:08 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: "Maybe... they knew she was still alive. And they dragged her down there to make sure she wouldn't get help before she died..." [6:09 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: It seems the killer is a bit of a bastard, confirmed. Hazel shudders. [6:09 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: Uzoamaka frowns. [6:09 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "What the fuuuuuuck..." [6:09 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "That is quite dark... I dislike the notion of one of us doing something so cruel, during a murder such as this..." [6:10 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "...is there anything we've missed?" [6:10 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "..." [6:10 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "Let's take the bloody handprint into account." [6:10 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: Hazel doesn't have any clues, I'm just going off the skin of my teeth. She tilts her head. [6:11 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "Hime-honey, where'd you say the bloody handprint was again?"
@Hana Minami! | baby chain [6:15 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "Oh! It was, ummm...like, leading to the right side of the bedroom hall. Hah. Pretty accurate, right?" [6:18 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "The right side, huh?"
"..."
Mr. Brightside starts playing in her head as she takes out her ID. [6:19 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: Hazelisperfectlyfine。 [6:19 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: She takes out the map of the first floor, using her pen to "draw" a box around it.
Tumblr media
[6:19 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: Hazel points。 [6:20 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "Can we say the culprit was from this area?" [6:20 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: aaああ [6:20 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: ”Yes.” [6:20 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: "I guess so...?" [6:20 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 Are Ya Mining Son?: "Was it leading to there or away from there?" [6:20 PM] Willy Wonder | 'Splorin': "I'd say it's a fair assumption." [6:20 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: hazelispeakingintongues [6:21 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "Away, I'd assume." [6:21 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 Are Ya Mining Son?: "Then... yes." [6:21 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "Perhaps the killer's route was like this."
Tumblr media
[6:21 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "Specifically from Keiko's door, I think." [6:22 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "Correction, it wasn't away." [6:22 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: "But was the handprint here's or the killers...? Either one of them could've made it--" [6:22 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: Hazel stops speaking in tongues. [6:22 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: Hazel notices something, but her sudden godspeak was so intense she needs a moment to point it out. [6:22 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "Another correction,"
Tumblr media
[6:22 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "This was probably the killer's way back in." [6:23 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "Disregard the past stuff, I got it confuzzled." [6:23 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 Are Ya Mining Son?: { "Ehh.."} [6:23 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: "So they made it coming back?" [6:24 PM] Willy Wonder | 'Splorin': "Makes more sense now." [6:24 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "I mean, I'd assume so, since there weren't any more bodies at the scene." [6:24 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "Do you suppose..." [6:24 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: Hazel trails off. [6:24 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: Hazel tilts her head at Hana. Ok oops [6:24 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: Hana tilts her head at Hazel. [6:26 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "Regarding the-- the rooms. Shouldn't there be something to take into account with the people placed nearby her room...?" She doesn't know. [6:28 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: "There's only five people there who hasn't be involved in a previous trial... and only a few wears dark clothes that could match the cloth in Keiko's hand." [6:29 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: So. She glances from Kubo to Cerviel a few times, since they're right beside Keiko in the dorms. [6:29 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "Well, Kubo is playing Minecraft." [6:30 PM] I'm sorry, Miss Taisei: Cerviel has been quiet for a while. He pulls his doll closer. [6:30 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: Fair point. She looks at Cerviel, since Minecraft is on Kubo's side. [6:30 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: "..."
"...Cerviel." [6:30 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 Are Ya Mining Son?: "Cerveee?" [6:31 PM] I'm sorry, Miss Taisei: He looked away uncomfortably. "Yes?" [6:31 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "..." [6:31 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "Come to mention it, Cerviel's "secret" wasn't brought up?" [6:31 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: "It...wasn't." [6:31 PM] Willy Wonder | 'Splorin': "The only one that wasn't." [6:32 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 Are Ya Mining Son?: "Oouuuahhh.." [6:32 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "..." [6:32 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "................" [6:32 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: Hana clears her throat. [6:32 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: "And Keiko can't tell us the secret she got--... The one we found could've been planted." [6:32 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 Are Ya Mining Son?: Renzo coughs. [6:33 PM] I'm sorry, Miss Taisei: Cerviel's eyes are darting from person to person as they speak. "Hold on.." [6:33 PM] Willy Wonder | 'Splorin': "Hey boar, I got a question: Everybody got somebody else's 'secret,' right?" [6:34 PM] Monoboar!: "Yeh." [6:34 PM] Monoboar!: "Oink."
[6:34 PM] Willy Wonder | 'Splorin': "So it would be fair to assume that Cerviel got somebody else's, not his own, right?" [6:34 PM] Monoboar!: "Yoink." [6:34 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: THANK you. [6:36 PM] Willy Wonder | 'Splorin': "So it would also be fair to assume that Cerviel dug up his card that he got and switched it with Keiko's card that she got, hiding his own, right?" He's not looking at Monoboar for this. He's looking at Cerviel disappointedly. [6:36 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "Dang. Never thought he'd do it." Hana says, automatically assuming. [6:36 PM] Monoboar!: "You tell me." He turns his head to Cerviel.
Tumblr media
[6:37 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 Are Ya Mining Son?: Renzo is like :pits: rn. They're still coughing a little. [6:37 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: Hazel turns to Cerviel. [6:39 PM] I'm sorry, Miss Taisei: Cerviel shrunk under the look. He's about to cry.
"I.. I have my card." He slowly pulled it out of the pocket of his shorts, hands shaking as he read it aloud.
What's up? Cerviel killed someone and took his identity! What a face off! He didn't bother mocking the boar. He stared down at his stand. [6:40 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "...What?" [6:40 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "IS THAT ONE THE ONE THAT'S TRUE?" Hana blurted out. "You're not saying it's not true!" [6:40 PM] I'm sorry, Miss Taisei: He flinched. "It's not true, but.. Miss Taisei didn't believe me." [6:40 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "SO YOU JUST FUCKING KILLED HER? IS THAT IT?" [6:40 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "Oh my fucking god." [6:40 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: "You-" [6:41 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "And you. Dragged her while she was barely alive." [6:41 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "Wh... What is the truth, then!?" [6:41 PM] I'm sorry, Miss Taisei: Cerviel wrapped his arms around himself. "Please let me explain.. please." [6:41 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "...O-Okay, okay..." [6:41 PM] Willy Wonder | 'Splorin': "After I told her not to confront the person her card was about..." He shook his head. "She went and did it anyway... Look at what it did." [6:47 PM] I'm sorry, Miss Taisei: He took a deep breath, squeezing his doll.
"Miss Taisei asked me to meet her last night in the foyer. I didn't know who the note was from, but.. I wanted to trust that everything would be okay if I met with whoever it was." He had to pause to wipe his face.
"She.. wanted to confront me about my secret. She said I was a danger to everyone and that she was going to tell you all. She just.. wouldn't listen to me!" He held the doll even tighter. "I got so scared.. she just kept yelling at me. So.. I pushed her." He didn't make eye contact with anyone, pressing on.
"She hit her head on the pillar pretty hard and I got even more scared. She was going to tell everyone that I tried to hurt her, so I grabbed the closest thing and.." He trailed off for a moment. "I didn't know she was still alive when I brought her to the cellar I just.. wanted to hide her. I couldn't.." He trailed off again. Words were hard. [6:48 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "...Sooo...you killed her instead of trying to explain to everyone that she was wrong about your secret?"
Tumblr media
[6:48 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: "Y-You killed my girlfriend over a misunderstanding." [6:49 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: Hazel just puts her face in her hand. [6:49 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: Words couldn't describe how she was feeling right now. [6:49 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "...SO BASICALLY, WHAT I JUST FUCKING SAID?" [6:49 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "This is like, the stupidest motive I've ever heard here."
Tumblr media
[6:49 PM] I'm sorry, Miss Taisei: "It's not like that!" He couldn't help but raise his voice, backed into the corner. "I didn't want to hurt her! I was scared!" [6:50 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "You think that's an excuse...!?" [6:50 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "The fucking multiple bashes in her head say OTHERWISE." [6:50 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: "Instead of helping her you left her to fucking die!" [6:51 PM] I'm sorry, Miss Taisei: "No." He wiped his face. "There's no excuse. Miss Taisei.. just wanted to help." [6:51 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 Are Ya Mining Son?: Renzo is still coughing. [6:51 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "Scared of people hating you? Huh?" she leaned forward in her stand. "Why didn't you let her go? She wasn't gonna hurt you! Did it look like she was gonna hurt you? I don't think so, killer! Why'd you drag her to the dungeon? You're sick!" [6:51 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "Root cellar." She corrected. [6:51 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "Same thing." [6:52 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: "She walks with a fucking cane! She couldn't have done anything to you that you couldn't have talked your way out of!" [6:52 PM] I'm sorry, Miss Taisei: "She wanted to lock me up. I.. she said I was too dangerous to allow to go free." [6:53 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "YOU COULD'VE FUCKING--" Lake breathed deeply through her nose. [6:53 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "Alright, let me get this straight,"
"You killed her, instead of using words in the Japanese language to clear up something Monoboar made up."
Tumblr media
[6:53 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "So this means she wouldn't have even killed you in the first place, Cerviel." Hazel stamps her foot. [6:53 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: Hana snorted. "Lock you up where? In the root cellar? I'm sure someone would've found you there! You wouldn't have killed her if you didn't have some kind of sense in your brain that you were capable of that. I'm right and you know it!" [6:54 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: "My girlfriend's dead--" Artemis let out a rough wheeze, leaning against her stand's railing. "She's dead over something you could've used your words to solve--" [6:54 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "And-- and... Cerviel, we could've helped you if she did something like that... her choice was brash and stupid, but it was nothing to kill her over... I have no words." [6:56 PM] I'm sorry, Miss Taisei: Cerviel gently set down his doll. "None of you will understand." He wiped his face again. "It.. doesn't matter what I say." [6:56 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "I don't wanna understand." Hana says coldly. [6:57 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "No, luckily I hope I'd never understand feeling obligated to kill." [6:57 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: Lake leaned against her podium, face in her hands as she took deep, deep breaths.
"More innocent fucking people dead over some bullshit stirred up by some fucking freak," Lake growled to herself, seething. [6:57 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: "I understand completely." She hissed, scowling. "We're all fucking well-known people! Don't you think someone's tried to slander our fucking names before?! We understand! Don't go spouting bullshit like this!" [6:58 PM] I'm sorry, Miss Taisei: He curled in on himself, staring down at the floor. "Can we vote then? I just.. want it to be over." [6:58 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "E-Even so, from what Sir William said," Hazel clears her throat. "Lady Keiko did something... thoughtless. In her stead of wanting to protect others, she got herself killed instead... why does this happen?" [6:58 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "Why did she have to do that? Why did you--!?" She turns to Cerviel, pent up, but says nothing more. [6:59 PM] I'm sorry, Miss Taisei: He doesn't say anything else. Cerviel closes his eyes, tears still falling down his face. [6:59 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: {"Waaah! Gonna cry, killer?"} [7:00 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: Hazel huffs. [7:01 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: {"Stop that! You don't get to fucking cry!"} [7:01 PM] I'm sorry, Miss Taisei: He's crying anyways. [7:01 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: {"Waaah! Waaah! Uuu, I wish my mommy was here!"} [7:01 PM] Monoboar!: "Let's vote!"
On cue, voting screens power on at your stands, and a selection of students is displayed by rows and columns.
"Who the friggidy frag is the blackened? Decide now! Gwahahaha!"
@Alive [7:01 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: Uzoamaka plants her finger on Cerviel's icon. [7:02 PM] I'm sorry, Miss Taisei: Cerviel votes for himself. [7:02 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: With a bit of hesitation, Lake voted for Cerviel before looking away from the screen. [7:02 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: Hana hesitates for a second before tapping Cerviel's thing. Ugh, she might be pissed as hell but she still doesn't want to kill someone. [7:02 PM] Willy Wonder | 'Splorin': Willy votes for Cerviel. [7:02 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: Artemis nearly punches her screen out of her flurry of emotions. She votes for Cerviel. [7:03 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: Hazel taps Cerviel's face rapidly. [7:03 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: On the panel~ [7:04 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 Are Ya Mining Son?: Renzo is currently clutching their chest with their hands, so they just drop their head onto the panel, because in their mind that was the next logical step to take. Cerviel just happens to get picked, how lucky! [7:06 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: Monoboar? [7:06 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: Give him a moment. He's doing his best. [7:06 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: Ok valid. [7:07 PM] Monoboar!: "AAAAAND- The votes are in!"
After everyone had voted, the screens flicker black, and proceed to light up in anticipation for each profile.
"Whomst is it? Hmmmm? The killer who's totally not bawling, who could it beeee?"
Tumblr media
7:09 PM] Monoboar!: A musical tune plays out as it lights up on the fox trainer's portrait.
"You bet yer snrk'n butts that it's Cerviel Winter who made Keiko bite the bullet! Or should I say, cane 'n pillar. Gwehehe."

[7:10 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "That doesn't make sense!" [7:10 PM] Monoboar!: "Do you think I understand what I say." [7:10 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "Ugh, no." [7:11 PM] I'm sorry, Miss Taisei: Cerviel took a deep breath. "I deserve whatever I get but please.. someone take care of my foxes when you get out. They.. don't deserve to suffer because of me." [7:11 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: Hazel sighs. [7:11 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "I see... foxes." Hazel repeats. "What are their names?" [7:11 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "And... address." [7:12 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: And credit card information. [7:12 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: And social security number. [7:12 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "I'm gonna take them with my friends and we're gonna dye them pink with kool-aid so they'll be all cute!" [7:12 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "...Hana." [7:13 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "What? It's plausible!" [7:13 PM] I'm sorry, Miss Taisei: He looked up at Hazel. "Their names are Zuriel, Micah, Theo, and Gabriel. I don't.. have an address. I lived in the forest, but you can find a sanctuary called Angel's Haven. It's.. there." He curled around himself again. "Please don't hurt them." [7:13 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "What the hell? I'm not a killer like you, I won't hurt your sweet babies!" [7:13 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: "They'll be safe with us." [7:13 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "...we'd never hurt an animal for no reason." Hazel sighs. She bats Hana's shoulder. [7:14 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: "Or... at all, really. I hope." She eyes everyone suspiciously. [7:14 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "...Sorry." Hana says. [7:14 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: Uzo should be the one batting since she's right next to Hana. [7:14 PM] I'm sorry, Miss Taisei: "Thank you.." He looked up at Monoboar. "I'm.. ready now." [7:14 PM] Monoboar!: "No other last weeeeerds?" He tilts his head. [7:14 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: She bats her in spirit. [7:15 PM] I'm sorry, Miss Taisei: He shook his head. "All I want to make sure is that my friends are taken care of." [7:15 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: But you killed one of them, Hana wants to say, but she holds off. [7:17 PM] Monoboar!: "Kay." With no further hesitation, he slams the gavel right then and there with a bright grin. "Get prepared, oink, fer some JUICY PUNISH-MA-MENT!"
Cerviel Winter has been found guilty. Time for punishment.

[7:21 PM] Willy Wonder | 'Splorin': "..." [7:21 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 Are Ya Mining Son?: Renzo isn't looking up at the execution as it goes on. They just keep their head down and try and drown out any outside sound, to little avail. They couldn't bring themselves to watch people die anymore. They didn't even know how they managed to watch before. [7:21 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: Uzoamaka blinks, wincing at the scenery and audio.
"..."
"Jails are better than executions, Monoboar." She huffs out in a fit. "This all could've been avoided, if it weren't for you causin' a damn domino effect."
"When the hell is this ending!" She throws her arms out, then lets them fall on her side. [7:21 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: Hana didn't look as usual. [7:22 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: Artemis is silent, watching Cerviel's untimely demise.
....
A familiar feeling settled back in her chest. So similar, yet so different. "Can we go now." [7:23 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar chuckles at the scenery, playing around with his gavel. [7:23 PM] Monoboar!: "Yeah, yeah, hang on." [7:23 PM] Monoboar!: He hops down to the elevator, opening its doors with a push of a button. [7:23 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: Hana scuttles into the elevator. [7:24 PM] Hazel 🔖 final stretch!: Hazel follows suit. Fuck this place. [7:24 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| What the FUCK: Artemis hobbled into the elevator. [7:24 PM] Willy Wonder | 'Splorin': Willy gets in the elevator he looks at everybody else as he does, then bringing his glance towards the floor. [7:25 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 Are Ya Mining Son?: Renzo lifts their head as they hear the door open, and look over at Cerviel's stand. They notice that he left his doll there. Was that intentional? Did Cerviel say he was gonna do that? Their head hurts too much to remember. Still, they cross the room to take the doll from his stand, and take it with them into the elevator. [7:26 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 WOW!: Uzoamaka enters as well. [7:28 PM] Monoboar!: As the doors close, you all ascend back up.
Another one gone from the roster.

CHAPTER 4 TRIAL TRANSCRIPT
"SNRRRRRRRRRRRKK!!! Alrighty, ya slobs! Y'know the drill! Entryway!" 
Tumblr media
TRIAL 4 - BEGINNING
Tumblr media
[4:12 PM] Monoboar!: Now with two more peers lost from your ranks, you all gather within the elevator before the doors shut behind you and the hum of the elevator descending fills the moving room.
...Two more Ultimates are dead. Not just one young soul was taken in this case, but two. Why? Why two? Having just one victim is harrowing enough, why add on to that count?
...You suppose you'll find out in the trial.
...
The elevator, once again, stops at its destination, revealing the trial room for the fourth time. Seven stands are now bare of life, seven portraits of Akihiko, Aderyn, Akemi, Wallace, Wilma, Eri, Riku, and Qiuyue taking the place of the once living.
Head to your stands.
@Alive [4:16 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: She gives Artemis' hand one last squeeze before letting go and heading to her stand. All these deaths feel like an immeasurable weight on all of them...but they must persevere. For their friends' sakes.
Keiko looks at Eri's crossed-out portrait. 'Wish us luck, Eri-san.' she thinks to herself. [4:16 PM] Cerviel Winter | Sad: Cerviel stumbled to his stand, setting his doll on it. He looks.. lost. [4:16 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: Artemis sulks off to her stand. She doesn't want to do this again, why dd they have to do this again? [4:17 PM] Willy Wonder | UH OH: Willy takes his stand. He lets out a sigh through his nose and adjusts his hair. [4:17 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: Rayne speed walks to their stand, shifting their weight onto one of their hips and putting their cane down with a soft clack. [4:18 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: Packie walks to his stand, immediately slumping over it.
[4:19 PM] Monoboar!: With a skip in his step, Monoboar hops up onto his seat, twirling his gavel in his hooves before gleefully bringing it down."Alllrighty, ya buncha worms! Let the trial of Riku Yasui and Qiuyue Xu commence already!! Snrk snrrrk!!"

[4:20 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: "So.... Where should we start, yes?" [4:20 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: "Maybe the bodies...? They look kinda... weird." [4:21 PM] Willy Wonder | UH OH: { "Yeah, they were living not too long ago." } [4:22 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: {"That's not what I meant, Willy."} [4:22 PM] Willy Wonder | UH OH: { "Just sayin'..." } [4:23 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "Well...which of us investigated them? I'm sorry but...I don't do very well with blood." [4:30 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "Graaaah!" Hana exclaimed. "Stupid dummies! Let's get to it already, 'cause I'm totally done with this friggin' stuff!"
Tumblr media
[4:30 PM] Willy Wonder | UH OH: :cluebullet: "Yeah, yeah I'm getting to it! So I took a look at Riku, and he got stabbed in the chest near some important organs. I'm no doctor, but it looked like it took a little bit before he actually died." [4:31 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: {She frowns. "How horrible..."}

[4:31 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: {"Yeugh, nevermind! I think I'm gonna be sick after that explanation..."} [4:33 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: "Being stabbed will do that. If it took him a while do you think the culprit stayed there and watched him, or come back to make sure he was gone..?" [4:34 PM] Willy Wonder | UH OH: Shrug. "Idunno." [4:35 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "Well...he had a flower placed on him, and his body was posed in that weird manner...so I think it's safe to assume so." [4:35 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "Oh! Oh! Everyone shuddup and listen to me, I have something important to say!" Hana yells, jumping up and down in her stand. "And it's gross as heck, so listen up!" [4:36 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "Okay then, Princess. What is it." [4:37 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: She falls silent for a second, physically recoiling.
"Eugh...there was, like, bloody garden shears or something near the corner of the room...I was just stepping around and nearly got my foot chopped off!" [4:37 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: :consentbullet: Keiko winces. "Then that must've been the murder weapon..." [4:38 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: "Oh yes yessss I had found those too!" [4:39 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: {"Jesus- Garden shears? The fuckin' brutal..."} [4:39 PM] Kubo Tachibana | BLEHEHEH: “Same here...” [4:40 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "Maybe that was the first thing the murderer could get their hands on...there were multiple plants and tools scattered all over the greenhouse, after all."
"One of the windows was broken, too, and there were glass shards around Xu-san's, uhm...body, as well as some shards leading to the entrance." [4:41 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: Speaking of the greenhouse..
:cluebullet: "I was able to see Quiyue's body. Had a laceration on her throat, but it wasn't a clean one. At least it looked like it ended quickly. Forearms and shoulders had bruises that kinda looked like hands, and like, a weird dark-burgundy liquid under her nails." [4:41 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: {"Oh my god, shut up! That's so gross. I hate this!"} [4:42 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: "You think the culprit used the shears to... you know- It sounds like it would've been awkward to handle, if they weren't used to handling them." [4:43 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: {Keiko feels sick. What a horrible way to go.} [4:45 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "Okay, so it's someone who doesn't usually shear plants or something. So why did they even wanna use the greenhouse stuff?"
Tumblr media
[4:45 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: :testitheorybullet: "It's like I said...maybe that was the first thing they could get their hands on." [4:46 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "So, like, Qiuyue was just walking in the greenhouse, then..?" [4:46 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "Dang...what are they, some kind of rabid animal?"

[4:48 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "Maybe? Hell if I know." He looks down at his hands for a while. Oh!
:cluebullet: "There was a note in Riku's pocket. Asking to meet up at the Zen Garden, but the handwriting was pretty messy." [4:49 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: Keiko nods. "Yes...I saw that as well."
"Who could've written such a thing? Who could've...killed two people?" [4:49 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: "I got that note!" She flings it out. "Think it's someone with shitty handwriting? Or a lefty?" [4:49 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "Any way we could, like, tell who wrote it, maybe?" [4:50 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: { "H-Hey!! I'm a lefty and my handwriting neat enough, thank you!!" } [4:50 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "LET'S DO A HANDWRITING TEST! Everyone get out a piece of paper and write something on it!" [4:50 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "Maybe all of us could write something down...and we could compare our handwriting to the one on the note." [4:50 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "SAME THOUGHT! Mine's is better, though~" [4:50 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "Of course, Minami-sama." [4:50 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: Hana grins. [4:50 PM] Willy Wonder | UH OH: { "But it's the same- whatever." } [4:51 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: "But what if they used their nondominant hand to write it?" [4:51 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "Then we do both hands!" [4:51 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "Why would they do that? ...Well, I guess it's worth checking." [4:52 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: "Because then they could throw us off the scent if we did a test like this!" [4:52 PM] Willy Wonder | UH OH: "You guys do realize that somebody could fake their own handwriting, right?" [4:52 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: "Someone could- Yeah." [4:52 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "Sherman-san is right...but it's worth a try." [4:52 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: Hana frowns at the idea that her thought isn't totally fool proof.
Tumblr media
[4:53 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar tapped the floor with his hoof a few times. [4:53 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: She sighs. "Maybe we should do that after all the clues are presented..." [4:54 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "Okaaay..." she groaned. [4:55 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "Still on the matter of the shattered glass...now that I think of it, I probably should've mentioned this before."
"The glass from the shattered window was strewn around Xu-san...and one of the shards was bloodied." she explains, "Maybe it was used to uhm...to kill her?" [4:56 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "Holding glass just to kill someone sounds painful, yeah? But it's explain the jagged cuts." [4:57 PM] Willy Wonder | UH OH: :consentbullet: "Yeah I noticed that. That makes the most sense to me." [4:57 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: "So wouldn't they have a cut? Unless they have gloves?" [4:57 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "The gloves would be damaged, too." [4:57 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar quirked his head at Packie and Artemis. [4:58 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: Fuck you want. [4:58 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: Keiko promptly shows her hands. There are no cuts. "Maybe all of us should show our hands, then?" [4:59 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: Oh shit. "Actually..." [4:59 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: ... [4:59 PM] Willy Wonder | UH OH: "What's that supposed to mean, Artemis?" [5:01 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: :cluebullet: "Shut up I didn't do anything I just remembered something. There was a few drops of Qiuyue’s blood on the ground next to where the cut on her neck is. Which is weird, because if someone dies of an injury like that there'd be more than a few drops. I'd know, trust me." [5:02 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: Keiko chooses to ignore the fact that Artemis knows all this. "...What are you suggesting, then? H-how...how do you think she died?" [5:02 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar made a questioning noise. [5:02 PM] Willy Wonder | UH OH: :consentbullet: "Oh yeah, that! Had me going for a second. I saw that too. That is weird." [5:03 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: {"IT'S FAKE! Fake makeup injury!"} [5:03 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: "Maybe she was... already dead when it happened. Blood flow stops after death, so if it happened after she died there wouldn't be a lot of liquid." [5:03 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: "Hmn.... Me saw those drops toooo." [5:03 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "...W-what...but why would someone do that? She was already dead!" [5:03 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar hummed... His tapping grew in frequency. [5:04 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: "THE FUCK YOU WANT." [5:04 PM] Willy Wonder | UH OH: :testitheorybullet: "Okay hear me out- what if she wasn't killed in the greenhouse?" [5:05 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboars taps were pretty loud, now. [5:06 PM] Monoboar!: "The case file don't lie, y'know! If it says lil' Qiuyue died from blood loss from a laceration to her necky wecky, she friggin' died from blood loss from a laceration to her necky wecky!" [5:06 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "...So someone just threw her through the window? What the fudge!"
Tumblr media
[5:07 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar was still tapping. [5:07 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: "Maybe that's where the bruises come from? Someone heaving her up and throwing her like a ragdoll?" [5:07 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: :consentbullet: "Sherman-san's hypothesis could be possible. There were clear signs of a struggle on her body, what with the hand-shaped bruises and the..."
"Dark burgundy liquid? That's...odd. Who investigated Xu-san's body again?" [5:08 PM] Monoboar!: The tapping stopped... for now. [5:09 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: "Ko, I'm pretty sure that's just blood. Q might've scratched up whoever attacked her." [5:10 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: :counterbullet: "But if it was blood...wouldn't whoever investigated have been able to tell? With everything else, we described blood as, well...blood. Not a dark, burgundy liquid." [5:11 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "Old blood? Maybe it was under her nails for a while?" she guesses. "I got a nosebleed once, and, well..." [5:11 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: "Maybe...it's oxidized. Or-" She paused. "Berries? [5:12 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "I don't know. Coupled with the bruises...one could only assume it's blood, right? But for some reason...I don't think it is. I don't know why...I just know it." [5:13 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: "Wait wait wait- What if it's... fruit. Dark colored fruit." [5:13 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "Why would Xu-san have fruit under her nails?" [5:14 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: "Maybe she was eating! Or drinking... something." [5:14 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar gets a chuckle out of that. [5:14 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: They tilt their head a bit. "I mean, was there fruit like that in the greeeenhouse?" [5:15 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "I don't see how that would be relevant to the case...unless whatever she was drinking was poisoned. But Monoboar has already confirmed she died of blood loss, so I find it unlikely." [5:15 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: "Uh, no! That's so stupid! It's obviously something that has to do with the killer, but I dunno what. But it's not friggin' fruit."
Tumblr media
[5:16 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "Well...maybe we should come back to that later. Did someone investigate the Zen Garden?" [5:17 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "I didn't look at the Zen Garden, but that flower.."
:cluebullet: "I have no fucking clue what flower that was, but it had bloodied thorns on it." [5:18 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "...So the killer not only cut their hands on the glass shard, but on the flower thorns as well?" [5:20 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: "Maybe they didn't notice they were getting hurt? I have a friend who can't really feel pain." [5:20 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: Keiko goes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yGfQak-q9M
[5:21 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: :cluebullet: "Oh, not to, like, interrupt, but the Zen Garden? All the potted plants were, like, knocked over. A yoga mat was, like, kinda crooked, too." [5:22 PM] Willy Wonder | UH OH: { "Man I'm lost..." } [5:23 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: Keiko looks like
Tumblr media
[5:25 PM] Willy Wonder | UH OH: :cluebullet: "Oh, also since we're on the topic of the Zen Garden, there was blood that lead to Riku's body. Dunno if that helps but it was there." [5:25 PM] Kubo Tachibana | BLEHEHEH: “Taisei-san...are you ok?” Kubo is worried because Keiko looks shook [5:26 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "I...uhm..." she looks very scared.
"I-I remembered something..." [5:26 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: "Yeah?" [5:26 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: "Oh ohhhhh? What is it yessss?" [5:27 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: She gulps. "The first day we were able to uhm...to talk to our deceased friends..."
"Maelstrom-san and I talked for a bit...on the pool area." she explains, "And they told me...they told me--"
"They told me they can't feel pain...at all. Isn't that right, M-Malestrom-san?"
Tumblr media
[5:28 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: "Well yeahhhhhhhs? But what do you meaan?" [5:28 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: ...Lake glanced at the half-demon in question right next to her. [5:29 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: "Oh..." [5:29 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: "Are you asking about the chance of scratches?" They tilt their head, confused. [5:30 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "A-Artemis said...that the killer could've not noticed they were hurt by the shards and thorns...just like her friend who can't feel any pain." [5:31 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: They nod a bit. "Well. Ehhhh." Taking off their gloves and let them drop to the floor. They raise their hands to show and...
There are no scratches Keiko. [5:32 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: How. She was so sure...she's a bit relieved, actually. That she didn't get it right.
"H-huh..." [5:32 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: Artemis squints. "But what if you have some freaky fast half-demon healing like Pkumura Jin." [5:33 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: "Trust me, there'd probably be scars or something." [5:33 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "I was wrong, then. I'm...I apologize, Maelstrom-san." [5:33 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: "It is understandable! Don't worry!!" [5:34 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: {Mutter  mutter "Don't entirely buy that...can't trust a demon unless they're Zozo." Mutter.} [5:34 PM] Willy Wonder | UH OH: "...Okay, now what?" [5:35 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: She sighs. "Now we look over all the clues we have again, I suppose." [5:37 PM] Hana Minami! | baby chain: Hana groans really loudly to show her distaste. [5:37 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "Did anyone see or hear something that could be important?" [5:38 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "...Uhhh, if it helps, the plants I mentioned earlier were all, uh... toppled over toward the center, and there was, like, sand and pebbles n' stuff kinda sprinkled over the floor." [5:39 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: She frowns. "Were they placed like that on purpose, maybe?"
Tumblr media
[5:40 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "Maybe? It's a possibility..." [5:40 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: "But perhaps there was a fight thoughhh....?" [5:40 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: "Maybe the whole fucking scene was staged?" [5:41 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar hummed in interest at Artemis before humming in disinterest at Rayne. [5:41 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: INTERESTING. [5:41 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: :consentbullet: "That would support Sherman-san's theory that the body was moved, I suppose." [5:42 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar hummed... Just hummed. [5:43 PM] Willy Wonder | UH OH: { "Oh yeah I said that, didn't I?" } [5:43 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: "What if they were killed without struggle, and then everything else was faked to make it seem all complicated and shit?" [5:44 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "Which one do ya mean by they when ya say that?" [5:45 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "And why would the killer stage a fight with Xu-san specifically and not Yasui-san?" [5:45 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "Acrobats are scary, dude." [5:46 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar hummed at Keiko, shaking his head slowly. [5:46 PM] Monoboar!: "Snrrk!" [5:47 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: They nod a bit, putting their hand to their chin and trying to think. [5:49 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: "I don't know, fuck! I just know you can throw people if you're strong and fake bruises is you got maybelline. And maybe with Riku they just didn't see it necessary." [5:49 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar is on the edge of his seat... [5:51 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 Tired.....: { Renzo is leaning over their stand, their hair draped in front of their hung head like a curtain. They could be sleeping. Or dead. Don’t mind them. } [5:56 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: :testitheorybullet: "...Maybe we should focus on things like the handwriting again. The writing was messy on the note, but what if that was for another reason other than the person's own handwriting being messy?" [5:56 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "Maybe they did fake it being messy like Artemis said?" [5:57 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "Perhaps..." [5:57 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "We should also take the motive into consideration...could we consider this an act of impulse?" she asks, "Who would have the impulse to kill someone else?" [5:57 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "..Maybe they were in a hurry?" [5:58 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "Maybe someone really, really hated Qiuyue-san or Yasui-kun?" [5:59 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "Who would that be? Everyone seemed to be getting along from what I saw..." she dreads the thought that she could've missed something this important. [6:00 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "Sometimes it isn't a matter on who is hated the most, but maybe just who is more convenient to kill." [6:00 PM] Monoboar!: Monobear seemed very interested in what Packie said. [6:01 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: Artemis shudders a bit at the thought. "But.. Q is a goddamn acrobat, how was she more convenient? Unless she happened to be a witness to Riku's murder and was only killed because of that." [6:02 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar shook his head disapprovingly at Artemis. [6:03 PM] Monoboar!: "Urges to do somethin' can kick in anytime, anywhere y'know? In fact, I just got the urge to eat some friggin', uh, pizza! Bacon bit toppings!" [6:04 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: "Isn't bacon- Nevermind." [6:04 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: Lake opened her mouth before closing it again. [6:04 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: "You're a really fucked up piggy." [6:05 PM] Monoboar!: "Thank ya!" [6:05 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: That's disturbing.
"Maybe the killer really did just want to talk to Yasui-san and Xu-san..." [6:06 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: "That is possible.." [6:06 PM] Monoboar!: "Snrrrk! I bet they did! Sometimes primal instincts come out on top and trample anything sunflower-y and rainbow-y with the heel of their hoof!" [6:07 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: She frowns. "That's such a sad thought..."
"But it would explain the care taken with Yasui-san. The flower, the posing...a remorseless killer wouldn't bother with either of those things."
Tumblr media
[6:08 PM] Willy Wonder | UH OH: "You know, that does kinda give me a thought now that you mention the whole 'remorselessness'..." [6:09 PM] Monoboar!: "What about good ol' Qiuyue, then, eh? I bet there was a buncha flowers around to do the same thing! Snrk!" [6:10 PM] Monoboar!: "Snrk, this killer seems kinda indecisive, eh? Treat the dead with disgustingly sweet respect, or leave 'em to rot, eh? May as well have two minds they just can't make up or somethin'!" [6:10 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 Tired.....: { Renzo looks up for a second. Oh, they aren’t dead. Nice. } [6:11 PM] Monoboar!: "...Oops." [6:11 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: Keiko looks at Renzo, but doesn't say anything. [6:11 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 Tired.....: Renzo looks back at her. Hi! [6:11 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar seems to wish he could take his words back. Why? What was it about what he said? [6:12 PM] Willy Wonder | UH OH: "So we either got a killer with a personality disorder or two killers? Is that what you're saying, pig?" [6:12 PM] Monoboar!: "U-Uh, ya heard nothin'! Nothin', I tell ya!"
...Wow. [6:13 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: "I think we're getting warmer." [6:13 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: They tilt their head curiously at the boar. [6:14 PM] Monoboar!: "Did ya not hear me!? I said ya heard n-nothin'!" [6:14 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "So...we're dealing with two killers? Is that even possible?" [6:14 PM] Willy Wonder | UH OH: "Possibly." [6:14 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: "It could  be..: [6:15 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: Lake put a finger to her chin in thought.
"Um... Out of curiosity..." [6:15 PM] Monoboar!: "Whaaat, what is it?!" [6:17 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "If there really are two culprits, and they get caught, would there be... two executions?" Lake paled a bit. [6:17 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: "Yeah... Would there?" They ask with curiosity in their voice. [6:17 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 Tired.....: { “Thassa lot of dead people...” } [6:17 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar sighed again. Careful!
"Grumble grumble... Lemme add a friggin' rule... Grumble..." [6:20 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: "Huh...? add a rule...?" [6:21 PM] Willy Wonder | UH OH: "Great, more restrictions..." [6:22 PM] Monoboar!: If one were to look at their ID, they may find a new rule was added.
Rule #7d: If two or more murders occur in the same day by different students, the student who committed the first crime will be the blackened, leaving the subsequent culprits free from execution or unable to leave the estate.
[6:24 PM] Monoboar!: "THERE! Ya happy?! Geez!" [6:24 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "..." [6:24 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "So that means..." [6:24 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: "...W-What?" [6:24 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "..." [6:24 PM] Willy Wonder | UH OH: "The second killer is off scott-free?" [6:25 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 Tired.....: “Ooooaaaahhhh...” [6:25 PM] Monoboar!: "If the blackened is executed? Pretty friggin' much!" [6:25 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: "We gotta live with a goddam ki--" She paused. "Actually... nevermind." Hypocrite. [6:25 PM] Monoboar!: "SNRK!" [6:26 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "S-so...we not only have to find out who killed them...but we have to guess which one of them died first?" [6:26 PM] Monoboar!: "Yup!" [6:26 PM] Willy Wonder | UH OH: "I bet whoever that second killer is might be feeling preeeeetty lucky right about now." [6:26 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "I don't know if lucky is the word here..." [6:27 PM] Monoboar!: "Oho, I'd doubt that, Willy Wonka!" [6:27 PM] Willy Wonder | UH OH: { "It's Willy Wonder you piece of dirty ass pork..." } [6:27 PM] Monoboar!: "I bet they don't even know they are the second killer!" [6:27 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: "What the fuck does that mean?" [6:28 PM] Monoboar!: "What do ya think it means, Arty?!" [6:30 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: "Then..... We-We need to find out who died first then...!!" [6:31 PM] Monoboar!: "Exactly!! Finally, some big brains in here!!" [6:32 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: "U-Uhm.... How would- How would we then??" [6:32 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "Th-The times of death aren't even on the file!!" [6:33 PM] Hazel | baby chain: Hazel's brain finally catches up to her. "Oh dear." [6:33 PM] Willy Wonder | UH OH: { "Musta made a disappearing act of sorts." } [6:34 PM] Hazel | baby chain: "Do you suppose, ah..." Hazel thinks for a moment. "Do the bodies have any signs of a specific... event that would... show who died first?" [6:35 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "...O-Oh! I... I might've remembered something! Maybe? I think?" [6:35 PM] Hazel | baby chain: Hazel perks up towards Lake. [6:35 PM] Hazel | baby chain: "What would that be, Lake?" [6:37 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "I remember, like, being around the courtyard when I think I heard glass breaking? I can't exactly remember the time, though... I was too focused on, uh, diving into the deep end of the pool. With all my clothes on." Lake chuckled a bit. [6:37 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "...You probably heard Xu-san's demise, then." [6:38 PM] Hazel | baby chain: Hazel tilts her head in confusion, fixing Lake with a weird look.
"Well... do you remember the time when that occurred?" [6:39 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "Uh, I suppose a little before the morning announcement? Like, five or six-ish?" [6:40 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: "That was her getting thrown into the place. But we know she was dead before she got to the greenhouse. .." [6:41 PM] Hazel | baby chain: "Well, why up so early?" [6:41 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: "Wh... Why were you outside, Lake?" They tilt their head again, fingers curling around their cane a bit as they lean in. [6:41 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "I'm an early bird, what can I say?" [6:42 PM] Hazel | baby chain: "If that were the case, then jumping into the pool would be an act of no impulse as the motive said, yes?" [6:43 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "What do you mean by that, Hazel-san?" [6:45 PM] Hazel | baby chain: "Well..." Hazel shifts her feet. "If Lady Qiuyue was dead before the greenhouse window was shattered, you wouldn't feel the urge to do that, yes?" [6:47 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "...Uh, well, if the motive ended right then, I'd, like, probably still jump into the pool. I was, like, in the middle of running, so." [6:47 PM] Hazel | baby chain: "Your hair would still be wet by now too?" [6:48 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "Hairdryers are thing, y'know?" [6:48 PM] Hazel | baby chain: Hazel looks at Lake suspiciously. "I don't know... it feels wrong, Lake. I do not want to suspect you, but..." [6:49 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "...I'm not sure I follow."
"Are you saying Kawaguchi-san is lying, Hazeldine-san?" [6:50 PM] Hazel | baby chain: Hazel nods shamefully.
"...I do not want to believe it, but by now, I'm unsure what to think." She says. "Surely the impulse would be erased entirely the moment Lady Qiuyue was killed." [6:51 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: :counterbullet: "But...wasn't Xu-san killed after the window was broken? She was killed using a shard from the window, after all. Wasn't she?" [6:51 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar clicked his tongue.
[6:52 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "Wait, wait, this would imply I had, like, the urge to kill someone to begin with!" [6:52 PM] Hazel | baby chain: :counterbullet: "Blood from the neck can get anywhere, Lady Keiko." Hazel counters. "The killer simply could've thrown her body through the window and gotten blood on the shards? Purposefully or not." [6:53 PM] Hazel | baby chain: Hazel looks at Lake nervously. "...I won't comment on that." [6:53 PM] Willy Wonder | UH OH: :counterbullet: "Then explain how there were glass shards ontop of her body." [6:54 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "Hazel-san, I-I know we've been here for, like, not that long, but k-killing people isn't in me!" [6:54 PM] Hazel | baby chain: Hazel bites her lip, looking down at her feet.
"...perhaps something is amiss with our timeline..." She mumbles. [6:54 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "I believe Kawaguchi-san wouldn't do anything of the sort...and there was only one shard with blood on it. If the blood had gotten on the shards, as you said, wouldn't there be more bloodied shards?" [6:57 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: They keep looking back and forth between the people talking, still leaning in. [6:57 PM] Hazel | baby chain: Hazel doesn't know shit about crimes. What she does know is the act of fooling someone.
"...Well, I won't state this as fully true, because I wasn't there." Hazel states. "But maybe if we change things... Lady Qiuyue was in the greenhouse when she was killed? And the perpetrator..."
She makes a punching motion. [6:58 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "And the perpetrator punched her through the window?" [6:58 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "What, break the window after she died?" [6:58 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: "No- Broke the glass themselves, and not with her body." [6:58 PM] Hazel | baby chain: She nods at Artemis and Lake [6:58 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "Huh...that would make sense." [6:59 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "Maybe to make it look like there was a fight?" Lake seemed a bit eager to go along this line of thinking. [6:59 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: She made a rough motion. "So they didn't throw her. But how thick is the glass of a greenhouse? I think that'd hurt without some padding." [6:59 PM] Hazel | baby chain: "Mmm, but if they were strong enough." [7:00 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "I'm definitely not strong enough to do something like that..."
"Who could it have been?" [7:00 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "Well, I like to think I'm pretty strong, but I doubt I could break thick glass like that." [7:01 PM] Hazel | baby chain: "Perhaps the perpetrator has some sort of inhuman strength, or something?" Hazel chuckles. [7:01 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: "I wouldn't risk breaking my goddamn hands over glass..." [7:01 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "...Like..." [7:01 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "Inhuman..." she looks at Rayne again. [7:01 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "Or maybe something the perpetrator can use, heels, canes, or whatever." [7:01 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: Their nose twitches a bit. [7:01 PM] Hazel | baby chain: Hazel looks at Packie, before glancing to... [7:02 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: Lake looked up at Rayne again. [7:02 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: "S-Stop staring at me!" [7:02 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "...You know, uh... I remember something else, too..." [7:02 PM] Hazel | baby chain: "Hm?" [7:04 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "I think I can recall seeing Rayne-san in the courtyard shortly before I, like, did the pool thing..." [7:04 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 Tired.....: “Oohhhhhh...” [7:04 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: Keiko frowns. "That's very convenient..." [7:04 PM] Hazel | baby chain: Hazel clears her throat, and stares at Rayne incredulously. [7:04 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: "But....... But i saw you-" [7:04 PM] Willy Wonder | UH OH: "Hm?" [7:04 PM] Hazel | baby chain: !? She looks at Lake now. [7:04 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "W--" [7:04 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: "Oh?" [7:04 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "S-Saw me what?!"
[7:05 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: "S-S-Saw you heading outside!" [7:05 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "I-I head outside a lot, Rayne-san!! You'll have to be more specific!!!" [7:06 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: "IT W-WAS HEADING OUTSIDE IN THE EARLY MORNING- PEOPLE DONT JSUT DO THAT WHEN THERE- THERES A MOTIVE LIKE THAT ELSE THEN TO M-mm-" [7:06 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "But...you were also outside, then?" [7:07 PM] Hazel | baby chain: Hazel is just staring back and forth as these two... do whatever. [7:07 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "Y-YEAH, WELL, I-I SAW YOU H-HEADING INTO THE GREENHOUSE!! Y-YEAH, I DID!!!"
Oh, Lord. [7:08 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: "Khhhk-" They clench the top of their cane a bit. "B-BUT I SAW YOU  HEADING T-TO THE ZEN HOUSE-" [7:08 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: ...
What...what the fuck.
Tumblr media
[7:08 PM] Willy Wonder | UH OH: { "Oh shiiiiiiit." } [7:09 PM] Hazel | baby chain: Hazel is gripping onto her stand in anticipation. [7:09 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: They are very visibly shaking. [7:09 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "Y-YOU DID NOT!! Y-YOU'RE JUST PULLING BS OUT OF YOUR ASS AT THIS POINT!!" [7:09 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: Packie wishes he has some food. [7:09 PM] Hazel | baby chain: Same Packie. [7:09 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: She is very visibly shaking. [7:09 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "...You both did it." [7:09 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: "Y-YOU ARE TOO THOUGH-" [7:09 PM] Hazel | baby chain: Hazel huffs. "I knew the pool thing was..." [7:10 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: "HGNH- N-NO! no..!" [7:10 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "...One of you killed Xu-san...and the other killed Yasui-san." [7:10 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "SH-SHUT UP!!! Y-YOU PROBABLY, LIKE, DID SOME WEIRD DEMONY SHIT TO QIUYUE-SAN, OR SOMETHING! Y-YEAH, I'D BET ON IT!!!" [7:11 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: Keiko closes her eyes and puts her head in her hands. [7:11 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: "WH-WH-WHAT WOULD YOU BET?!? YOUR LIFE?!?!?" [7:11 PM] Hazel | baby chain: Hazel stamps her foot. "CAN YOU TWO SHUT UP?!" [7:12 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: Lake flinched at the stomp from the girl next to her. [7:13 PM] Hazel | baby chain: Hazel huffs, puffing her cheeks out angrily as she stares the two down.
"Y-You both... just outed yourselves..." She says shakily. "...There's nothing left to hide." [7:14 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: They just turn to face Hazel, bangs shifting slightly. And...
There were scratches somewhere, Keiko. Because theres a couple scratches on their forehead that were originally covered by their bangs.
Instead of a normal dark brownish red coloured scab its... Deep burgundy. [7:15 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: Lake's furrowed brows mellowed a bit, though her breathing was still heavy and quick. [7:15 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: She looked at her hands. [7:15 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: ... [7:15 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: ......... [7:15 PM] Hazel | baby chain: "...." Hazel huffs. [7:16 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: Putting her forehead to her podium, she held her hands out, palms up.
...Small scabs littered the inside of her hands evenly. [7:17 PM] Willy Wonder | UH OH: "Thorns, huh?" [7:17 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: ................................
"So Kawaguchi-san...killed Yasui-san."
"And Maelstrom-san killed Xu-san." [7:17 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: "Hhhh-hhhhaa-" [7:17 PM] Hazel | baby chain: Hazel shifts uncomfortably, looking down at her feet and refusing to look back at the two. [7:18 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "B-But..." Lake managed to straighten her back a bit, "Wh-Who was fir...?" [7:18 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: She looks back up at them. "Can we even tell who it was?"
"We're just...we'll just have to guess, and if we guess wrong--"
"We're all going to die in here."
Tumblr media
[7:18 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: Their eyes dilate a bit, staring at Lake. [7:19 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: Lake did the same. [7:19 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "...I..." [7:19 PM] Hazel | baby chain: Hazel doesn't like it. [7:19 PM] Willy Wonder | UH OH: "Well, I have a guess..." [7:19 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: "Yeah, Willy?" [7:20 PM] Willy Wonder | UH OH: "Remember at the beginning of all this when I looked at Riku's body?" :cluebullet: "I did say it probably took a few minutes for him to actually die." [7:20 PM] Willy Wonder | UH OH: "Again, total guess." [7:21 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: They move their head to stare at willy, starting to slouch a bit. "H-Huh...?" [7:21 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "...I-I..." [7:21 PM] Hazel | baby chain: "You have a point though..." Hazel bites her lip nervously. "Even if Sir Riku was attacked first, he'd still end up dying after Lady Qiuyue...?" [7:21 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: :consentbullet: "And Xu-san died instantly, didn't she?" [7:22 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: "Or at least a lot quicker than he did..." [7:22 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "..." [7:22 PM] Willy Wonder | UH OH: "...Shit." [7:22 PM] Hazel | baby chain: Hazel is a bit horrified! [7:22 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: "N-N-" [7:23 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "So.." [7:23 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "...R-Rayne-san, I-I'm s--" ...It felt wrong to say that now. [7:23 PM] Hazel | baby chain: "If that's the case, then Rayne..." Hazel looks at them with a horrified look. [7:23 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "M-Malestrom-san will..." [7:23 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "Be executed." [7:24 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: They're just. Breathing very heavily, terrified. Looking between the people with fear filled eyes. [7:25 PM] Monoboar!: *With that, Monoboar slapped his pig knee."
"Alllright, kids, are ya ready to finally friggin' vote? I know I am, and I ain't even voting, eh? Gwahahahar!!"
...The panels come up. [7:26 PM] Monoboar!: @Alive [7:26 PM] Kubo Tachibana | BLEHEHEH: Kubo votes for Rayne, unwillingly. The fear in their eyes makes him wish he didn’t have to. [7:26 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: This isn't fair. Both of them only did it because the motive made them. It's not fair at all. [7:26 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: They just shake their head and back up a bit, clenching their teeth a bit. [7:26 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: Keiko shakily votes for Rayne. [7:27 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: Artemis votes for Rayne. [7:27 PM] Cerviel Winter | Sad: Cerviel hasn't been paying attention. He votes for himself. [7:27 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: Lake was shaking. Hard. [7:27 PM] Willy Wonder | UH OH: Willy votes for Rayne. He feels bad, he really does, but that's just how it is in this fucked up world. [7:27 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: She looked up at Rayne, "I-I... I..." [7:27 PM] Hazel | baby chain: Hazel is conflicted- both of them murdered... not even under their own rational being. She just feels awful and votes for Rayne. [7:28 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 😧!: Uzoamaka, who is clutching her handbag tight, votes for Rayne after all that has been discussed.
She's still in disbelief that... both murdered.
It's a horrible feeling, but it had to be done in this hell. [7:28 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥 Tired.....: Renzo forces themselves to stand to their full height, wobbling a bit and voting for Rayne. They frown in the other's direction from underneath their mask. [7:29 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: They just scrunch up their nose, looking between everyone. [7:29 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "..." [7:30 PM] Monoboar!: "C'mon, c'mon, c'mon! I gotta reel in these votes at some point, ya huffin' buncha cicadas!!" [7:31 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: Keiko leaves her stand and hesitantly approaches Rayne. "Maelstrom-san..." [7:31 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: "I'm not- I-I'm not going to voTE FOR MYSELF TO GET KILLED IN SOME HORRIBLE M-MANOR-" [7:31 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: They flinch a bit. [7:32 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "....."
'...I'm sorry.'
Lake's shaking finger had landed on the profile of Rayne. [7:33 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: She gets a little bit closer again.
"Maelstrom-san, it...it wasn't your fault, and this isn't fair at all. But we...we have to do this. Otherwise...all of us are going to die." [7:34 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: He votes for Rayne, mumbling. [7:34 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: "I-I-I- KNOW BUT HOW DO Y-YOU EXPECT ME TO VOTE FOR MYSELF- WHEN- WHEN I DIDNT THINK A-A-ANYTHING THROUGH AND THE MOTIVE AND TH-THH-" [7:36 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: ...Keiko steps forward and hugs Rayne.
"It'll be alright. We know...it wasn't your fault. You didn't want to do it." [7:37 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: Annnnd there they go. It's sobbing time. They try to bury their face into her shoulder and stay there for a minute.
Though, after that they peek to the side and shakily place their finger on the screen. Voting themself. [7:38 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: She runs a hand through their hair, "Shhh...it's okay."
"You'll be alright. It'll only be a minute." she's trying her best not to start crying, too. [7:39 PM] Monoboar!: "Yadda, yadda, yadda! Bleh, bleh, bleh! You all voted, aight? Let's reel those all in!!!"
After everyone put in their vote, the screens go black, and each profile begins to light up in its usual manner.
"Alriiiiight, didja get it all right? Didja get it all wrooong? Whozit gonna beee...?"

[7:41 PM] Monoboar!: ...The jingle stops.
"Duhh nuhnuhnuhhh!! Ya got it, grubs! While Lake Kawaguchi killed Riku Yasui, it was Rayne Maelstrom who killed Qiuyue Xu just before!!! Ohhh, too bad, so sad! Snrrk!!"
@Alive  
Tumblr media
[7:42 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: AH. As the jingle plays they just start sobbing harder. Ow ow oof [7:44 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "..."
Lake fell to her knees at the confirmation of her deed.
She did, in fact, take the life of Riku Yasui.
And now?
...She was going to have to live with it. [7:46 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: She leaves her cane resting against Rayne's stand as she pulls away, then takes both their hands in her own.
"Maelstrom-san, look at me..." she asks in a soft voice, a very shaky smile on her face, "I need you to be brave, okay? Just for a little bit. You can't...don't give this boar the satisfaction of breaking you, okay? L-lift your head high, and...know that you didn't do anything wrong." she squeezes their hands. [7:47 PM] Monoboar!: "Snrrrk! Sure they didn't!!" [7:48 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: They can't bear to squeeze her hands back or anything, just sniffling and raising their head slightly, still staring down. [7:49 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: "There we go." her smile widens only a fraction, "You're very strong, Maelstrom-san. We...we were very lucky to know you."
She lets go of their hands. "D-do you...want me to pass anything along for you? For anyone...outside?" [7:51 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: AH. They shake their head a bit but... After a second puts their cane down beside Keiko's. Urs now. They glance to the side at the rest of the trial room, something on their mind. [7:52 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: She tears up, and has to bite her lip to keep from crying. Say your words, Rayne... [7:52 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "...What did the motive do to you, Rayne-san?" Lake asked in a dimly conversational tone. [7:58 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: "..." They bite their cheek a bit.
"I... You know I-I can see p-peoples demons and.... I was outside because... Because the the motive was getting to me and-"
"Qiuyue w-was there and.... And her demon looked wrong for her and I sn-snapped!"
"It didn't look like it should o-of with her talent!"
"It-It-It- Looked like this cloaked figure with- thi-this big law book and police tap on it and the b-back of my mind told me that-that I needed to get rid of it- It didn't fit-"
"It wasn't her talent-"
They stare up at the rest of the people, but quickly lowers their head. [7:59 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "...Wh... What the hell does that mean?" [7:59 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: She doesn't understand, not really...
"You were...trying to get rid of it?" [8:00 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: They nod. "It wasn't- Wasn't safe i didnt think-"
"She was just in the wrong p-place." [8:00 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: ...So they were trying to help her, somehow. That shit hurts, dude. [8:01 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAA GO CRAZY: "Are you saying... she wasn't who she said she was..?" [8:01 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "...Was she, like, a fuckin' cop or something...?" Lake put aside the demon shit for the time being. [8:01 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: "Thats why- Why I gave you nickname early on- Your demons." [8:01 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: "I DONT KNOW! I don't- hNnhhgnh-" [8:03 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "..." Lake let out a alone huff of laughter before is escalated to cackles. Hollow, hollow cackles, "M-Meanwhile I just wanted to finally get the f-fuck out of here! Th-Then the fuckin'... thing just... blew it all u...p..."
... [8:05 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: Keiko doesn't know what to say. This whole thing sucks. She doubts either of them would have murdered if it wasn't for the motive... [8:09 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: "...I..." Lake's eyes began to water, "Yasui-kun... R-Rayne-san... Everyone, I... I-I'm s--" [8:09 PM] Monoboar!: "GEEE WHIZ, that went on a while, huh? Well, draggin' your friggin' emotions out won't go on any longer, cuz you KNOW what time it is!!!" [8:10 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Dead time: "N-No-- Please-" [8:13 PM] Monoboar!: "Haaang on to your feet, ya grubs," Monoboar took his time, swirling the gavel between his hooves again as his eyes took in every detail of Rayne's expression, "Cuz it's tiiime for PUNISHMENT!!"
With that, Monoboar brought his gavel down onto the big, red button once more.
Rayne Maelstrom has been found guilty. Time for punishment.

[8:19 PM] Keekoo Taisei | :(: Keiko can't make herself look once again.
...She takes Rayne's cane in her hands and heads towards the elevator. [8:23 PM] Cerviel Winter | Sad: He's vaguely aware that the trial is over. He loosely grabbed his doll and stumbled to the elevator without a word. [8:27 PM] Lake Kawaguchi |: Tears streamed down Lake's cheeks as she hiccupped and sobbed into her hands. She stayed like that for a while, crying on her knees as she mumbled to herself.
She eventually brought her head up just a smidge, before she murmured the only intelligible thing she could've mustered the will to put to words in that moment.
"I... I-I'm a f-fuckin' monster, huh...?"
Tumblr media
[8:32 PM] UZOAMAKA! 🖊 😧!: Uzoamaka was choked up by everything that has happened, even though her brain is screaming that this isn't anyones fault. Over and over again. It's only the bastard that brought us here. Using a cheap tactic to get their own damn way, and that made her pissed. At the same time, she was in anguish from all the people who fell victim to this.
With silent steps, she picks up the book that seemingly popped up out of nowhere, and heads to the elevator without a word. [8:34 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar cackled joyously, a sick kind of joy, as everyone filed into the elevator.
Two murderers walked in. One murderer walks out.

CHAPTER 2 TRIAL TRANSCRIPT
Ding! Ding! Dong!
Monoboar clears his throat hoarsely to get everyone's attention directed towards the monitor.
"Oi! Yer all pretty gutshoed up for this investigation, wouldn't ya say? Now head to the foyer and to the elevator! Same procedure as last time!"
Tumblr media
TRIAL 2 - BEGINNING
Tumblr media
[4:00 PM] Monoboar!: As you all crowd into the elevator and the doors shut behind you, the noise of the elevator slowly descending down rings in your ears, the low, ominous hum of everything moving around you.
The more you descend, the more it dawns on you-- more people had died in such a short span of time... Akihiko... Aderyn... Akemi... and now Wallace was a victim of another murder, done by one of your hands.
It's another deadly class trial...!
....
The elevator finally stops to it's destination, revealing a large trial room, with stands all in a circle. Four stands now bear the mark of the fallen, four portraits pertaining to Akihiko, Aderyn, Akemi, and Wallace.
And... another person was missing? But she doesn't have a portrait... you wonder where she is.
@Alive (You may walk to your stands.) [4:01 PM] Kubo Tachibana | BLEHEHEH: Kubo walks to his stand. He doesn't wanna be here. [4:01 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: Keiko walks to her stand as if on autopilot. This sucks, man. [4:01 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: Willy is at his stand. [4:01 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: Atemis stiffly walks over to her stand. [4:02 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel is not at her stand. [4:02 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Demon Time: Rayne is at their stand hello. [4:02 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: "...Has anyone seen Hazeldine-san?" [4:02 PM] Cerviel Winter | Nest: Cerviel headed to his stand, doll in arms. He didn't like this. [4:02 PM] Kubo Tachibana | BLEHEHEH: "W-wait! Where's Ms. Hazeldine?!" [4:02 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥: Renzo walks in front of their stand, turns around, and hoists themselves up to sit on the edge. "Nope!" [4:02 PM] Eri [origami time]: Eri goes to her stand. [4:02 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: "...That's... Not good..." [4:02 PM] Monoboar!: "Bah, don't worry 'bout it!" Monoboar snorts. [4:03 PM] Kubo Tachibana | BLEHEHEH: "No I WILL worry about it! Where is she?!" [4:03 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: Packie looks at the empty stand beside him.
"Uh, what do you mean, don't worry about it?" [4:03 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: "What the fuck- Where is she you stupid tub of lard?!" [4:03 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar rolls his beady little eyes, resting a pudgy chin on his hoof. "It means ya don't gotta worry 'bout her!" [4:04 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: She pales once more. "I-is she...?”
Tumblr media
[4:04 PM] Kubo Tachibana | BLEHEHEH: Kubo is ANGRY but he knows better. He just bears his fangs like a feral animal and hisses. [4:04 PM] Monoboar!: The boar shakes his head. "Not what yer thinkin'." [4:04 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "Where. The fuck. Is she?" Wilma says softly, though her voice is laced with danger. "If she ain't hurt you ain't got no reason to be keeping her from us."
She stares real fucking hard at Monoboar. [4:06 PM] Monoboar!: "I got every reason, Missy! Now shut up and figure it out on yer own!"
Monoboar slams his familiar gavel down loudly, marking the beginning of a new class trial.
"Let the trial for Wallace Callaghan and missin' Hazel Hazeldine commence!"

[4:06 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: "I...we can't just start the trial without her, can we?" [4:06 PM] Kubo Tachibana | BLEHEHEH: W-what did you do to her? Kubo thinks, but stays quiet. [4:07 PM] Monoboar!: "Course ya can! That's why I started it!" [4:07 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "I'd love to find out where Princess is, but we have to focus on this first." [4:07 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥: "Why not? We have the clues and things, so we can start now!" They say, kicking their feet. [4:08 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: "Alright...I suppose that's true." [4:09 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: Wilma grits her teeth.
"...I don't reckon Monoboar's gonna tell us shit til we figure it out ourselves, so...we might as well get started."
She is not happy about it. [4:10 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: Willy glances around. "So... How about that note?" [4:10 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "Alright, so...how're we gonna start this-Oh." Well, there we go. "What note?" [4:11 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥: "You know, the note!" Yes Renzo. Shh. [4:12 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: Wilma gives them a Look. Elaborate, please. [4:12 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: :cluebullet: "The one that said 'meet me in the lounge to talk about the boar' or whatever. It was right next to the body." [4:12 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥: "That note!" [4:13 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: Wilma blinks.
"Well...So that's what got 'im in the lounge then, I reckon?" Duh. [4:13 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: :consentbullet: "Ah yes...it seemed as if it was written in a very hasty manner..." [4:13 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "Probably had to get it to someone fast, but why would it be by his body?" [4:13 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Demon Time: "Mhm mhm.... I saw that note too!" [4:13 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "Maybe he was holding on to it?" Wilma suggests in response to Packie's question. [4:14 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥: "Perhaps our friend Wallace brought it in with him, yes yes!" [4:14 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: Thanks for backing her up, Renzo. [4:15 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: Speaking of the body...
"Y'all saw those ugly bruises on his neck, right?" [4:17 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "Th' file said he died of a sir-vee-cal fracture," She says, enlongating the unfamiliar word. "But it looked like a plain old broken neck to me." [4:18 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: { "Yeesh. What a way to go." } [4:19 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: "So what you're saying is somebody got him where they wanted him then BAM, got him in one go!" [4:20 PM] 🔥 ZOZO! 🔥: { "OOoooo, so fast....!" } [4:20 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: :counterbullet: "Not quite...there were clear signs of a struggle all over the lounge. In fact, it was a complete wreck." [4:20 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: {"He's... not as smart as I thought, then."} [4:20 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar is tapping his hoof a bit impatiently. [4:21 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: Ok, hog. Fuck off. [4:21 PM] Monoboar!: Kay. [4:21 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: "Oh. Huh." [4:22 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "Why's he only got injuries on his neck then? That don't seem like much of a struggle." [4:22 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar snorts in amusement. [4:22 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "I 'unno how this would help out, but.."
:cluebullet:  Packie takes out a nice, fancy fountain pen. "This was in his pocket."
"Don't ask how I got it from him." Sorry Wilma. [4:22 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: { "Stealing off a corpse? Really?" } [4:22 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: {"Hayai-san...you stole from Callaghan-san's corpse?!"} [4:23 PM] Cerviel Winter | Nest: Cerviel gave Monoboar the best glare he could while still in tears. [4:23 PM] Monoboar!: "Oooh, gutsy! i like it!" [4:23 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: Wilma's frown deepens. [4:23 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "I won't fucking steal it, I'll return it to his room afterwards. Besides, it might help out or something." [4:24 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: {She's still frowning, but has no further comments on the subject.} [4:24 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: "Alright, he had a pen on him. Now what?" [4:24 PM] Monoboar!: {"Snrf..."} [4:25 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: "I have...a theory I'd like to share. If no one objects." [4:25 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "Huh? Go ahead."
[4:27 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: :testitheorybullet: "The state of the lounge suggests a large struggle took place there, but Callaghan-san's body is...well, you know. What if someone other than him took part in said struggle?" [4:27 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar's piggy ears perk up. [4:28 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: "Like, somebody besides the killer and Wallace?" [4:29 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "Someone could've saw what happened and tried to interfere?" [4:29 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: :consentbullet: "Yes. I believe that might've been the case."
"Which brings me to another clue I found..." she clears her throat, regaining some of her composure, "There was a pale-blue ribbon crumpled on the ground in the library. Which gives me reason to think Hazeldine-san might've been attacked by someone." [4:30 PM] Monoboar!: {"Snrf, how spicy!"} [4:31 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: :consentbullet: "Yeah, yeah, I saw that ribbon too!"
"But something still ain't right..." [4:33 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "If Princess Peanut was caught up in it, why wouldn't she be here now?" He taps against hisstand. "I don't think she's dead or anything, but I don't get why she'd hide." [4:33 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar looks amused. [4:33 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: { "I was gonna say that..." } [4:33 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: Wilma looks even more agitated at the reminder that Hazel is still missing.
"I ain't sure she's hiding..." She says slowly. "Otherwise I think the hog over there woulda dragged her out." [4:34 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: Artemis glances to the portrait standing beside her. "Uh. Missing Hazels aside, anyone else notice lounge doors?" [4:35 PM] Rayne Maelstrom 👹 Demon Time: "Yeah!!! They were open yes?" [4:36 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: "Mhm. Which is really fucking weird because the lounge is locked and off-limits during the night." [4:36 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "Ain't that place sposed to be locked down at night?" [4:36 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: {"You guys sync up."} [4:36 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: Wilma doesn't look happy about that. [4:37 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: "...Well, it wouldn't be the first time Callaghan-san has tried to test the nighttime rules." [4:37 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "Was he fucking out of his mind?" [4:38 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: "He got fuckin' cocky is what happened." [4:38 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar snorts, speaking up. "Oh, gyeheheh, I helped out with that. Unlocked it m'self!" [4:38 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: {Keiko glares at Artemis. Please don't talk shit about the dead man.} [4:38 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: "You helped? Is that allowed?" [4:39 PM] Monoboar!: "My damn  mansion, ain't it? My rules!" Monoboar cackles. [4:39 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: Willy can't argue with that, as much as he wants to. [4:39 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: "That's kinda unfair isn't it?!" [4:39 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "You knew what the killer was up to?" [4:40 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: "Well, then...maybe he wanted to investigate why the door was open?"
"Did anyone hear anything at night? Surely such a big struggle must've caused some noise."
Tumblr media
[4:41 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: "You did?" [4:41 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: {"You really gotta sleeve shot doves to get our attention?"} [4:41 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: Wilma's staring at Willy, waiting impatiently for the explanation. [4:42 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: :testitheorybullet: "At two in the morning I heard something go clink clink in the halls outside my room. I'm a light sleeper, so it was easy to hear." [4:43 PM] Monoboar!: {"Clink clink! Clinkin' and clackin' and..." The boar is making various sound effects in the background.} [4:43 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: {"Something go clink clink?" she's so confused.} [4:44 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: { "A kind of jingling, maybe." } [4:44 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: {"Glass? Maybe?"} [4:44 PM] Monoboar!: {"Stop yer damn whispering."} [4:44 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "Shut the hell up, hog." Wilma says reproachfully. She looks closely at Willy. "Two in the mornin', huh...that's just a little bit before the time of death, ain't it?" [4:44 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: "That's right!" [4:46 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar taps his hoof in anticipation. [4:47 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: "That's...odd. And you didn't hear the struggle?" [4:47 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: "Nope." [4:47 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "It was on the second floor." Wilma points out. Second floor is different from in the hall. [4:48 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: Willy points to his nose and a Wilma. [4:48 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: "So someone left their room close to the time of death...and they made a jingling sound."
"What could possibly make a sound like that?" [4:48 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "Clown hat." [4:48 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: No one here has one of those, I think. [4:49 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: { "...Do clowns wear hats?" } [4:49 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: "...I meant what in here could've caused it, Ortega-san." [4:49 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar appears annoyed. [4:49 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: Okay. Well, fuck you too. [4:50 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "I ain't sure 'bout all that right now, but were there any other clues we ain't discussed yet?" [4:52 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: Her eyes widen. "There is one thing I investigated that hasn't been spoken of yet."
"One of the books was put back in the wrong place in the library, and it seemed to be sticking out a bit." [4:52 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "If it was a heavy book, it could've been used as a weapon." [4:53 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: Wilma nods.
"Ah, yeah, I saw that too...you didn't happen to open it up, didja?" [4:53 PM] Eri [origami time]: "I also found some stuff that wasn't mentioned" [4:53 PM] Monoboar!: {Monoboar is beginning to clack his gavel on his throne. He looks bored, and waiting for juicy action.} [4:54 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: "No...I should've probably done that, now that I think of it. I'm sorry, Ortega-san." [4:54 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "I did." She says, shifting uncomfortably. "It were a book about cults 'n shit." [4:55 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: Artemis cringed lightly. "That's not creepy at all. Anyone into scult shit?" [4:55 PM] Eri [origami time]: Eri twirls around a strand of her hair. [4:55 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: "Not that I'm aware of...though I doubt anyone would admit to it now that it'd incriminate them." [4:56 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "There was also a paper fulla notes stuck in the book...like someone was studying er something." [4:57 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar is impatiently staring at the ice skater. [4:57 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: Keiko frowns. "That's even more odd."
"But...what about those things you mentioned, Eri-san? The ones we haven't spoken about?" [4:59 PM] Eri [origami time]: "The drawers in the kitchen were ransacked, someone was probably looking for something. And there was a slighty scuffed and damaged marble rolling pin in the lounge's trash can." [5:00 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "Well, I think we know where the rolling pin came from then." [5:01 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: "..."
"You think they were lookin' for knives?" [5:01 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: "...Maybe that pin was used to hit someone? [5:02 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: { "And where would those knives be?" Willy glances at Artemis." } [5:03 PM] Eri [origami time]: "It was probably used to kill Wallace?" Eri shrugged. [5:03 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: {"Hey. I almost saved him from getting fucking murdered."} [5:03 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: :counterbullet: "He had a broken neck...can a rolling pin cause such damage?" [5:03 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: { "Almost." } [5:03 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Fuck: "Maybe with enough force behind it...?" [5:04 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: Wilma shakes her head. [5:04 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar seems doubtful about some of these hunches, but which ones? [5:04 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: "You can break a neck with a lot less."
[5:04 PM] Eri [origami time]: "Marble is pretty heavy isn't it?" [5:04 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "Wallace woulda had to be glued to the ground to create 'nough force to break his neck like that, I think." ...That's how physics works right? [5:04 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: "Probably." [5:05 PM] Monoboar!: "Glued t' tha ground? What kinda hypothesis is that?" Monoboar snorts in amusement. [5:05 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: Wilma would literally murder Monoboar right now if she could. [5:07 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: Artemis has a little lightbulb. "Uh... Hm. Say, do you all think he died on that couch?" [5:07 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: Keiko's eyes widen yet again.
"We have no way to confirm it. The couch was the only spotless thing about the lounge, after all." [5:08 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: "I don't know enough about furniture to back this up, but I doubt it would be easy to snap a neck on a couch." [5:08 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "So what? Y'all suggesting he was placed there?" Wilma tilts her head. [5:09 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: "If the boot fuckin' fits. Wallace kinda big and really fucking heacy. It'd take some strength to get him on the couch, right?" [5:10 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar looks intrigued. [5:12 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "Y'know what's botherin' me..." Wilma speaks up, trying to ignore Monoboar, because she hates him and so do I. "That whole mess in the lounge looked pretty violent....but Walleye was barely touched. 'Cept for the uh, well, you know." [5:13 PM] Eri [origami time]: "Weird" [5:13 PM] Monoboar!: "Sure is!" Monoboar looks ecstatic. [5:13 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "It's got me wondering if Wallace was the intended target at all." [5:14 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar's snorts at that. [5:14 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Fuck: "...That's a good point, actually... Maybe it's the culprit who was beaten up rather than Wallace-kun?" [5:14 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar snorts again. [5:14 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: Wilma looks around the room.
"...Do any of yall got obvious injuries?" [5:15 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: "I don't believe Callaghan-san could do something like this, but we must consider all possibilites, so..."
"It's possible that Callaghan-san tried to murder someone, and that person was defended by the culprit, who then went on to kill Callaghan-san himself." [5:16 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: { "...Welp I'm lost." } [5:17 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "I ain't sure 'bout that..." Wilma says hesitantly. "Why the note addressing Wallace himself, then? It don't add up." [5:18 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: Wilma looks thoughtful again. [5:18 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: "Ah, you're right..." [5:19 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "I didn't wanna mention it at first, 'cause it didn't appear to be used in this murder...I think. But my gun's been missing since last night." [5:19 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Fuck: "Is it possible that the note was forged? Is that the word?" [5:19 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Fuck: "...Oh, no." [5:19 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: ...
"Ah." [5:19 PM] Eri [origami time]: "Geez" [5:19 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Fuck: "Where was it last?" [5:19 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: "At least. You didn't have any bullets." [5:19 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "Well..." [5:20 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "That ain't quite true." [5:20 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: "There were bullets inside???"
Tumblr media
[5:20 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: Willy's eyes narrow. "Hm?" [5:20 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Fuck: "..." [5:20 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: "Oh my fucking god-" [5:20 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: Wilma shrugs. "Wouldn't be much of a gun if there wasn't." [5:21 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "Y'all never had to worry anyways. The bullets weren't real, so anyone hopin' to use them wouldn't a got far." [5:21 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar cackles underneath his hooves. [5:21 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: She lets out a sigh of relief. "Oh...good." [5:21 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "Hog gave me a nerf gun." [5:21 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "Still, it's been missin'." [5:22 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Fuck: "...What were we worrying about, then?!" [5:22 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: "." [5:22 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: { "Could have started off with the 'fake gun, fake bullets' thing..." } [5:23 PM] Monoboar!: "Pshh, just look atcha, Sheriff, up n' down! Yer wieldin' a gun that can't even help ya. Sad." [5:23 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: Wilma doesn't look impressed. It takes more than that to rile her up. [5:24 PM] Monoboar!: "No wonder that catty lady died so young. I would'a thought it interesting to see you try pumpin' me full of lead over that ordeal, but nope." [5:24 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: "Will you shut the fuck up?" [5:24 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar snorts with laughter. [5:24 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: "Don't speak of Akemi-san like that!" [5:24 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: Okay, now she's getting pissed. [5:24 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "Calm down before this gets outta hand." [5:25 PM] Monoboar!: "Hazel, too! She's off missin' somewhere cuz you don't got the weaponry to threaten me! Ahhh, lovin' this power... just like back at the wild..." There is no wild. He's just an asshole. [5:26 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "You better shut the hell up." [5:26 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: Wilma is quickly losing her composure. [5:26 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: "Ortega-san, please. We can't afford to lose our composure right now." [5:26 PM] Monoboar!: "Ugh, and Wally. Got his head turned 360 all cuz your guys' little president ain't shit!" [5:26 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: Willy silently makes a talking mouth motion with his hand whenever Monoboar speaks. [5:26 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: "Block him out! Movin' the fuck on! What else hasn't been vleared up?" She's trying to difuse the ticking time-bomb that is Wilma. [5:26 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar snorts once more. [5:27 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Fuck: "Ghhh...!!!" Lake clawed at her head in irritation before shaking it, trying to focus on the task at hand. [5:28 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar just huffs at everyone. [5:28 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: It's honestly just muscle memory. Nothing more than that. Monoboar reminded her of her failures, and well- She isn't having it. She doesn't need to hear this from him.
It's so quick it's barely even perceptible until she has it out.
Wilma pulls out her gun and points it at Monoboar. [5:29 PM] Monoboar!: "Oh?" [5:29 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: "..." [5:29 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: "Ortega-san!! Please stop this instant!"
Tumblr media
[5:29 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: "I thought you didn't have your fucking gun, Wilma!" [5:29 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Fuck: "Wilma-san?! I thought you just said you didn't--" [5:29 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "Guys, can we fucking not have an extra dead guy." [5:30 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "It doesn't have real bullets." Wilma reminds Packie quietly.
She's shaking with anger. [5:30 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: "But...you said it was missing. Why did you lie, Ortega-san?" [5:30 PM] Monoboar!: "Yeah? What's a dirty little liar gonna do shootin' me with nerf bullets!? Gwahahahaahar!" [5:31 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: "...Wait... Why did she lie about her gun?" [5:32 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: Wilma takes a few deep, shuddering breaths and lowers the gun.
She pulls the brim of her hat down. Her eyes aren't visible.
"...Had to." Is all she says. [5:32 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: "Why were you lying?" Willy repeat. [5:32 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "You had to?" [5:32 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "Y'aint getting more of an answer than that til I know-" She cuts herself off and glares at Monoboar. [5:33 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: Artemis has a bigger light buld. "Wilma. Did you... try to stop Wallace from doing the shit he did before? Trying to bypass the rules?" [5:33 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar snorts in Wilma's general direction. [5:33 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "..." Wilma doesn't answer Artemis's question. [5:34 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: She's still staring at Monoboar, apparently waiting for something. [5:34 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "...Give her back." [5:35 PM] Monoboar!: ...and with a puff of smoke and a flash of sparkles, there's an explosion (not literally) where Hazel's stand is.
The smoke dissipates, and Hazel stands there, shaken, covered in glitter. The poet looks extremely unhappy, for good reason. [5:35 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: "Wh-" [5:35 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "U-Uuuuuu....!?" [5:35 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: "Hazeldine-san! Are you alright?!" [5:35 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: "What the fuck-" [5:35 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: Wilma nearly collapses in relief.
"Oh thank the fuckin' stars." [5:35 PM] Cerviel Winter | Nest: Cerviel squinted. [5:36 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "I-I'm, I..." Hazel regains her balance, clutching on the stand. "...." [5:36 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: "Hey, appearing in a puff of smoke is my thing! Stay in your lane, pig!" [5:36 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar sticks his tongue out at Willy. [5:36 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: Wilma, for a second, looks so painfully happy to see Hazel's okay...and then her expression shuts down completely. [5:37 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel looks around hastily at the others, and back at Wilma.
"I-I know...!" [5:37 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: Packie brushes some of the glitter off of him since he was near the blast. [5:37 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Fuck: Lake did the same. [5:37 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: "..." Keiko places both her hands on top of her cane.
"Can you both tell us what happened last night?" [5:37 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "I reckon they know too, Miss Basil." Wilma says quietly. [5:37 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel clutches at her head, looking upset at the lack of her hair ribbon, before her mouth hangs open in shock, staring at Wilma.
"they know...? Truly?" [5:38 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "You wouldn't be back here if they don't got some sort of inklin'." [5:38 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: She bites her lip, tears welling in her eyes as she looks at everyone in fear.
"...tell me what you all know, then." [5:39 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: Keiko is so confused. "C-Callaghan-san died. And Ortega-san lied about her gun being stolen, for some reason..." [5:39 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "Th-That's not what I meant! Ugh!" Hazel stamps her foot. "I mean... do you know who did it all?" [5:40 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: "It's...between you two, really." [5:42 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "Were you held, like, as a hostage? If Ortega, if she really did it, didn't, y'know, then..? Or did you both work together." [5:43 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "I... was held as a hostage, yes." Hazel nods. [5:44 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: Wilma is silent. [5:44 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: Also, Auz is afk for a second. Oops. [5:45 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: "Wilma killed Wallace, you walked in," Willy is attempting to put it together. "Boar didn't want you to make it one sided and he took you out of the picture for a little bit? Something like that?" [5:45 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: There's a dry, humorless chuckle from Wilma.
"Knew you were one of the smarter candidates." She says, sighing. [5:45 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel is wringing her hands together, and weakly nods. [5:46 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "Since if you were here, it would've been too simple. And that damn boar doesn't like that." [5:46 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Fuck: "..." [5:46 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: "So... You were the one jingling." He glances at Wilma. [5:46 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "...Lady Wilma," She chokes out, but is unable to speak any further. She nods once more at Packie. [5:47 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Fuck: "...So you're..." Shaking. Fists balled up, "You're saying Wilma-san is..." [5:48 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "Am I 'llowed to speak now, your royal fuckhead?" Wilma hisses, glaring at Monoboar. "Or ain't I off the hook yet." [5:48 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar huffs, rolling his beady little eyes once more, and waves a hoof boredly. "Uhhhh, doy, they basically got it down, sheriff!" [5:49 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "Fine." Wilma tips her hat back up, looking at everyone around the trial room. "Yeah, I did it. I killed Walleye." [5:50 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: "Why? Why did you do it, Ortega-san?"
"You said...you said you would protect us all!"
[5:51 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: "She probabl ywas trying to protect us-" She gave Wilma a sideglance. She stands by her ealier question. [5:51 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "Was it because of what you said earlier?" He leans against his stand. "Where you were suspicious that Wallace would try to test the nighttime rules again." [5:51 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Fuck: Her teeth were clenched along with her fists as she fought the temptation to yell at either Wilma or the boar in favor of letting Wilma speak. [5:52 PM] Cerviel Winter | Nest: Cerviel's crying has started back up again. He covered his mouth to avoid making any noise to interrupt. [5:52 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel is clutching her arms, holding herself as she attempts to maintain her composure.
"I had gotten into an argument the day he did that, and... well, he seemed completely unresponsive to my worries about that situation. I-I just didn't expect it to lead to... 'getting rid of him.'" She winces. [5:53 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "Wallace didn't just try the nighttime rules again." Wilma states, sighing. "He outright broke 'em. Again." [5:54 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: "You still protected us, in a way." [5:54 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Fuck: "Fffffucking idiot..." Lake murmured through her teeth, "Idiots... Idiots... I...!" [5:55 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: "No, that's not true. You didn't...you didn't protect us."
"Protecting us includes all of us, it included Callaghan-san too!! You didn't--You couldn't have just killed him!!" [5:55 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: "So I was right. You tried to stop him so he wouldn't get us all killed." [5:55 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "Lady Wilma... wasn't justified in her murder, but... she had a reason, and she took it to the extreme." Hazel says nervously. [5:55 PM] Cerviel Winter | Nest: Cerviel let out a shaky breath. "Mister Callaghan was a good friend. He didn't deserve that. It wasn't the right way to go." He hugged his doll tighter. [5:56 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: Willy is just glancing around the room, taking all of the different opinions. "...Of course..." He whispers under his breath. [5:57 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel huffs, looking at everyone else.
"...what good does it do in the end? We'd either risked all our lives, or have two of them taken away, and... it's... horrid." [5:57 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "Wallace didn't die in the lounge. He went to the library. I was on my nighttime watch as always, and I followed 'im, and I wasn't gonna take a chance that was gonna get all of us killed." She says this easily, but her expression is grim. "Two's better than all of us, I 'spose. Walleye was there...readin' that book," She looks very tired. "And I just came up behind him and..."
She does an odd hand movement which you realize is the way you can physically break someone's neck, just using your arms! Awesome. [5:57 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel flinches. [5:58 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: Wilma looks at her apologetically. [5:58 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "I had no intention of hidin' it. Miss B-Hazel...wasn't 'sposed to be there, but either way, I wasn't gonna hide it." [5:58 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "But." [5:58 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: Keiko shakes her head, tears rolling down her cheeks. "No...it's not fair. You could've talked to him, you could've--!!"
"You didn't have to kill him!!" [5:59 PM] Cerviel Winter | Nest: He was trying very hard not to get mad, but that was his friend! Holy shit! "Miss Ortega, there's no justifying this. I think.. you're not going to become an angel." [5:59 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel scoffs, glaring at Cerviel. [6:00 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "Monoboar didn't quite think that was interestin' enough," Wilma hisses, ignoring the people that are interrupting her motive speech. "So he took Hazel and told me I had to make it fun, or else..." [6:02 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "Took a rollin' pin, fucked up the lounge a bit, then I moved 'im there so it'd be more confusin', I guess. Wrote that note, too. With his own pen." Wow, she really...truly...planned this horribly. Well, she didn't really plan it in the first place. "It all didn't add up real well 'cause I was just doing whatever it took to make it a case, I guess." [6:05 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "But y'all figured it out...I knew you would." Well, actually, Wilma just fucked up real bad, but let's not focus on that. "I know I failed y'all. I ain't fit to be a leader. Ain't sure I ever was."
She grabs the brim of her hat, pulling it down. "There ain't nothin' I can do to make up fer this. 'Cept dyin' I guess, but that ain't real useful in the long run."
She's...remarkably calm for someone who just admitted she's going to die. [6:06 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel whimpers, and feels like she's about to uproot the stand from the floor and destroy it with her bare hands. [6:06 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: "This is...you could've talked to him!! You could've dragged him out of there, for God's sake! If you're strong enough to break his neck you could've done that instead!!"
"But...You didn't have to..." she trails off, looking down. [6:07 PM] Cerviel Winter | Nest: He looked away. "At least you've accepted your fate, Miss Ortega. I'm sorry you thought there was no better way, but this is probably for the best now." [6:07 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: Artemis pursed her lips, shaking her head. "Sometimes that's the only way you can deal with insubordination..." That's terrifying, thanks Artemis. [6:07 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "Maybe." Wilma admits. "But he'd been talked to. I ain't sayin' that justifies it, but sometimes...sometimes the law's gotta take things into their own hands. At the time, I did what I thought would protect y'all. I hope it still does."
"...But that don't mean my soul's going to salvation 'er nothin'." [6:08 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "I-IT'S NOT FOR THE BEST!" Hazel cries. "N-Not for Lady Aderyn, and not for Wilma either... it's horrid...!?" The poet looks hysterical, near tears. [6:08 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Fuck: "Bullshit... I-It's all bullshit," Hot tears began to stream down Lake's cheeks as she shouted, banging her fists on her podium in anger, "It's BULLSHIT!! W-We... W-We shouldn't even be fucking doing all this stupid detective shit!! W-We should b-be in class or something, n-not f-fucking having all these m-moral dilemmas because some FREAK p-practically held us at gun point to fucking K-KILL our classmates!! F-Fuck it all!!! FUCK IT ALL!!!" [6:08 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: "Would you have done it if it was Hazeldine-san? Or any one of us besides Callaghan-san????" [6:08 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel agrees with Lake, and shows this by crying and stamping her foot. [6:09 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: Wilma nods in response to Keiko's question. "If it woulda been them, breaking rules multiple times and showin' no signs of stoppin'. But it wasn't." [6:09 PM] Cerviel Winter | Nest: He held onto that doll, shaking. "There isn't much salvation out there. Not outside of this place. Not even if you die. I truly am sorry, Miss Ortega." [6:09 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Fuck: "SHUT THE FUCK UP, CERVIEL!!" [6:09 PM] Monoboar!: ....
"Yeeeeesh, you maggots done here? I grow tired of all the wailin' really fast! D'ya think it's votin' time?" [6:10 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Fuck: "YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP, TOO!!!" [6:10 PM] Monoboar!: "That a yes?" [6:10 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "I'm mighty sorry ya had to be part of this, Miss Basil." Wilma says, taking her hat off as she looks towards the poet. "And that ya had to see that side of me. I'm glad I could make ya feel safe fer a little while, anyways." [6:10 PM] Cerviel Winter | Nest: ".... We should vote now." [6:10 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel is clearly trying to hold back tears, and is only able to nod, lip quivering. [6:11 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "Alright, go on 'n vote now." She says before Monoboar can, because fuck Monoboar, she will take every chance to steal his thunder.
[6:11 PM] Monoboar!: "Hmf ...Aaaaaalright, it's votin' time then!"
Same procedure as last trial, voting screens power on your stands, and there's a selection of students to choose from.
@Alive [6:11 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: Haha beat you to it. [6:12 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: Wilma votes for herself. [6:12 PM] Eri [origami time]: Eri votes for Wilma. [6:12 PM] Kubo Tachibana | BLEHEHEH: Kubo votes for Wilma [6:12 PM] Cerviel Winter | Nest: Cerviel quickly voted for Wilma. [6:12 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: Artemis votes for Wilma. "...I'm sorry, Woody. We fuckni' butted heads in the past but you were... an alright leader." [6:12 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Fuck: Lake brought her fist down onto Wilma's (voting screen) face for her vote. [6:12 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: Keiko votes for Wilma. "I'm...truly sorry you felt like that was the only way, Ortega-san. Now we have lost not one, but two of us yet again..."
"I hope you're able to reflect on what you have done, wherever you go." [6:12 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: Willy votes for Wilma. [6:13 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Fuck: Kicking her podium in rage, Lake managed to leave a crack in the wood. [6:14 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar seems excited, and is close to pressing the complete button, but eyes Hazel impatiently. [6:15 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "...Who ain't voted yet?" Wilma looks confused. "It ain't real hard, folks." [6:15 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: Packie votes for Wilma. Sorry. [6:15 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: No need to 'pologize. [6:16 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel is teary-eyed, hand hovering over the voting screen as she glances over at the sheriff.
"I-I'm sorry, Wilma." She dropped the 'Lady', just as she's done with Akihiko before. "I hadn't.. I... what you did is bad, but I truly looked up to you. Please rest easy..."
She votes for Wilma, teary-eyed. [6:18 PM] Monoboar!: "...Everyone done votin'? If that's the case, let's get this show on the rooooooad!"
After everyone had voted, the screens flicker black, and proceed to light up in anticipation for each profile.
"Well then, worms, who's it gonna be this time? I know I'm real damn excited!"
...

Tumblr media
A victory tune chimes out as the light lands on Wilma Ortega.
"Looks like it's the truth, gwahaha! Wilma Ortega killed Wallace Callaghan!"
Tumblr media
[6:20 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: Wilma nods.
"Alright then...that's it, I 'spose. I don't mind dyin'....Sure don't want to, but I wasn't 'sposed to live this long anyways. The whole world weren't." [6:20 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: Keiko sighs deeply. "We will remember you, Ortega-san." [6:21 PM] Monoboar!: Hazel feels ready to collapse. [6:21 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar is snorting. [6:22 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: "HOLD UP-"\ [6:22 PM] Monoboar!: "Gyehehehe-- huh?" [6:22 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: "What the fuck you mean you weren't supposed to?" [6:22 PM] Cerviel Winter | Nest: Cerviel turned away completely, hugging that doll. He didn't even wanna look anymore. [6:22 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: Wilma shrugs.
"Just what I said."
"Why'd you think Wallace had that book out on cults, anyways?" [6:22 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel tilts her head, confused. [6:22 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: "...Huh?" [6:23 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: "He was into goat sacrifice-?" [6:23 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "Absolutely not." WAY off base. [6:23 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: "...What do you mean, Ortega-san?" [6:26 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "Y'all don't really think I got good at shootin' just from a Wild West show, do ya?" She smiles, but it's bitter. "Callaghan figured out where I grew up. Little place called Solomon's Grove. Y'all mighta heard of 'em, mighta not. Crazy little cult preparin' for the end of the world. 'Sposed to happen when I was thirteen." She snorts. "When it didn't, I realized it all was a buncha baloney and left. Got myself a job, put my skills to use. I lived a lot longer than I thought I was gonna. I've been livin' on borrowed time."
The rueful smile fades from her face. "Maybe this was what they meant all 'long 'bout me meeting my end in the 'outside world.' They weren't wrong, in the end. But I got to meet y'all, so I think it's worth it anyways." [6:28 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel is curling her hands into her hair anxiously, staring apprehensively at Wilma as she attempts to process this information.
"So... a cult? A whole cult..." The poet isn't sure what to say... [6:28 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: "Ortega-san...a-a cult??" [6:28 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: Wilma dismissively waves a hand. "It ain't that serious. No sacrifices 'er none of that weird shit. Just farms and no fuckin' tech anywhere. 'Cept for guns, 'course." [6:28 PM] Kubo Tachibana | BLEHEHEH: "...That's really cool, Ortega-san..." [6:29 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: Wilma doesn't respond to that. [6:29 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel glances at Kubo a bit oddly, but shrugs it off. [6:29 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: "Jesus... At least you didn't do fucked up shit." [6:29 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: "I'm sorry you had to grow up in such a place, Ortega-san..." [6:30 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "...Anyways, none of that's the point. I'm just sayin'...I'm okay with my world ending like this." Her serious expression cracks a bit. "I'm okay 'long as y'all promise to do better than I could. No more leaders 'er any of that...work together. Keep each other in line. In a safe way." [6:31 PM] Cerviel Winter | Nest: Cerviel was quiet as he listened, feeling the guilt start to seep in for having been mean. "I'm sorry about what I said, Miss Ortega. Maybe you will be an angel." [6:31 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: "We...we'll do better, Ortega-san. We won't let this happen again."
"Do you...do you have anything you want me to say to anyone outside? Anything you want to pass on?" she offers, just as she did with Aderyn. [6:34 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "...If y'all get to the Saco Wild West show, tell Leone I said hi." She says after a moment. "That's all. Tell 'im I'm doing fine, okay? And my parents..." She looks a bit pained. "They ain't too smart but they ain't bad people. Wouldn't recommend you go checkin' out Solomon's place, though. Maybe just send 'em a letter. Tell 'im I passed." She nods at Keiko, grateful. [6:34 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: She smiles sadly. "I will...I promise, Ortega-san."
"Please...tell Callaghan-san he will be missed as well, if you see him again." [6:35 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: "I got some 'pologies for him, and...everyone else that passed, so I'll be sure to." [6:35 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel disregards everything else and rushes over to give Wilma one last goodbye in the form of a hug.
"My apologies... Wilma..." Hazel says shakily. [6:36 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: Artemis gives Wilma a solem nod, she feels a very heavy pit of guilt in her gut. "I hope ya find peace.' [6:37 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: Keiko nods at Wilma's words. She hates Wilma's actions...but she doesn't deserve to die, either. [6:37 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Fuck: Lake stomped off her podium and towards Wilma before she joined Hazel.
"God, fuck..." Lake sniffled as she tightened her grip, "You deserved so much fucking better than this hellhole, Wilma-san..." [6:39 PM] Hana Minami! | ART Room: Hana was horrified. Absolutely, positively horrified. She could only hug Wilma one last time before she...well, ugh.
Hana slowly walked towards her, avoiding eye contact as she did. She didn't want Wilma to see her cry. She wrapped her arms around her tightly. She wanted to say something, anything to send Wilma off.
"Don't go...!" [6:42 PM] swiss cheese cowboy: Wilma looks surprised that anyone would get near her after that, let alone the girl who witnessed her murder. She blinks rapidly, as if trying to stop tears, and returns Hazel's hug. She flinches as two more people join the hug, and tries (and fails) to stop her body from shaking.
"I gotta go, Princess." She says softly. "I...No matter where I end up, I'm gonna be watchin' over y'all and protecting ya best I can anyways. I'll never stop."
She closes her eyes. The world is ending for her. She said she didn't mind, but...
"Thank y'all. I wanted to make y'all feel safe, but the truth is...I always felt like the world was on the verge of ending 'til I met y'all."
"Take care of yerselves now, okay? I'm countin' on yall."
"Goodbye." [6:42 PM] Hana Minami! | ART Room: Hana sobbed loudly.
[6:43 PM] Monoboar!: "Oh... boohoo, I'm almost touched by the affection you've got! Too bad I gotta rip her away from ya!"
Monoboar slams a gavel onto a big red button, and Wilma is promptly whisked away from the others by a metal clamp attached to a chain snapping around her neck, and she's off...
Wilma Ortega has been found guilty. Time for the punishment.

[6:44 PM] Hana Minami! | ART Room: Hana stared at the execution for a moment before covering her eyes and dipping her head, hoping her hair would cover her face a little. [6:45 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: Keiko doesn't look. She can't do it. [6:45 PM] Kubo Tachibana | BLEHEHEH: Kubo watches intently. That was horrible... [6:45 PM] Cerviel Winter | Nest: Cerviel didn't even watch. It didn't feel right even if it was the one who'd killed his friend. [6:45 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Fuck: Keeping her eyes closed tight and her hands clamped down on her ears didn't stop the shots from giving her an idea of what happened. [6:46 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: Willy frowns as he sees what unfolds. [6:46 PM] Hana Minami! | ART Room: Hana flinched every time the shots happened. [6:46 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hana shrieks, unable to watch after the horses arrive, and clamps her hands over her ears. [6:47 PM] Monoboar!: Why i say hana :frowning: i tired. Anyways [6:47 PM] Hana Minami! | ART Room: Hana hugs Hazel really hard. [6:48 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar cackles once again.
"Well then! Another trial is off my hands, gwahahahar!" The boar laughs, and the elevator dings melodically, sliding open.
"Now scram, go cry in your rooms or somethin', ya grubs!"
The boar vanishes promptly, leaving you all to exit yourselves. [6:48 PM] Lake Kawaguchi | Fuck: Lake joined and wrapped her arms around Hazel and Hana both for a little while. [6:49 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel does the same... but leads them in a small pack with shaky legs, into the elevator. Heh. Help. [6:49 PM] Hana Minami! | ART Room: Hana was still sobbing loudly. [6:50 PM] Monoboar!: @Alive Walk into the elevator. [6:50 PM] Keekoo Taisei | Terrible choices: Keiko leaves silently. It's not her place to try to comfort any of them. She can only hope Wilma can find peace, wherever she is. [6:50 PM] Kubo Tachibana | BLEHEHEH: Kubo walks into the elevator silently [6:50 PM] Willy Wonder | Room: Willy heads to the elevator. [6:50 PM] packie hayai 🌾 💤: Packie makes his way into the elevator, slumping against one of the walls. [6:51 PM] Cerviel Winter | Nest: Cerviel walked into the elevator with his doll, choking back more tears. He's a wreck. [6:51 PM] 🔫Artemis🔫| AAAAAAAAAAAAA: Artemis walks into the elevator, the pit in her stomach getting heavily. Shit's awful! [6:52 PM] Monoboar!: Once everyone is inside, whether you roleplayed that or not, the elevator shuts behind you and takes you back to the foyer...
Now Five people are gone, and it seems like your numbers are only going to continue dwindling...

TRIAL 2 - END.
