WEEK 3 TRIAL

It was noon on Saturday.

No matter where they were, no matter what they were doing...the moment the chimes rang out through the hall, they felt a change.

The world...began to expand, as they felt themselves leaving the world they were on, and towards another, much larger world...🗈



...As always, the courtroom was there - along with the audience, watching, waiting for the entertainment before them.

The Witch - Nirrti - was there, sitting in the most important place, watching all of them with a sharp, cruel gaze, a smile of pure delight on her face.

Watanuki was also there, but he merely lounged in the back behind them, smoking a kiseru pipe in silence.
...It seemed as if he was content to watch - that he had to watch - as part of the rules of the game.

There was no music to be heard, but... perhaps on another plane, in another place, someone else heard music as they gazed upon the proceedings.

Again, their forms had changed - perhaps into something different than last time, but...still a change, no matter how dramatic or inconsequential it was.

...There was a deep silence in the room, one that no one wanted to break. It was the faint tension in the air, like the moments before a race or a competition begins.

They had found the truth last time....but now, two people had died.
Was it possible for them to find the culprit this time?
A culprit that....had...

No, it had to be.

For the sake of the dead...and the sake of them all.

I don't think so. Akira was upset, but he was taking it as motivation to learn and grow and make himself different from the others.

You knew him pretty well, huh?
byanyother_name: (Youko time)

[personal profile] byanyother_name 2019-04-13 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
We were...becoming close.
anonnomnomnom: (I really need a new outfit.)

[personal profile] anonnomnomnom 2019-04-13 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
By that you mean you were totally flirting?

[Like, he has eyes?? Y'all.]

It was pretty obvious and you keep making it more obvious all the time, anyway. Do you know anything about the letters?

By that I mean I was on a date with him Thursday before all of this, yes.

[It's a little bit snapped out, Kurama's fist clenching.]

I don't know about the letters.
anonnomnomnom: (Wish I had the talent to study.)

cw: suicide mention

[personal profile] anonnomnomnom 2019-04-13 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, congratulations. Well, no, not really.

[I'm sorry he's like this but he is absolutely kind of cavalier about it. He looks at Kurama's clenched fist but doesn't seem especially fazed.]

If you really have to lose it, you should go and poke at Nirrti some more. Anyway, I don't think this was a suicide case, either, but the evidence is pretty weird...

That would explain why he wanted me to teach him.
byanyother_name: (Youko time)

[personal profile] byanyother_name 2019-04-13 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kurama nods slightly.]

...I offered to train him.

cw: suicide mention

[personal profile] cryosurgeon 2019-04-13 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think he'd want either of us to teach him if he was planning to harm himself. But... suicide is often a spontaneous act.
byanyother_name: (Youko time)

[personal profile] byanyother_name 2019-04-13 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
No. Akira was determined. I won't believe that.
cryosurgeon: ([drain] nothing left to give)

[personal profile] cryosurgeon 2019-04-13 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright. But if we knew their states of mind at the time of the murder, it might help us figure out what they were doing. It's impossible, though.
clearumbrella: mask, ? (so it won't hurt)

Determined? To do what?
