WEEK 4 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, though no smile could be seen on her face today.

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.

Truth was elusive, yet they had to find it.
No matter how painful, or upsetting.
No badly how much they all hurt.

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

Wait, you said you smelled blood from them? Dammit, that was a miss.

[...Us robots don't have a sense of smell... This was our loss this time.]

There was a scrap of a bloody handkerchief stuck to the boiler's door. I assume the handkerchief was used to clean off the weapon before being burned inside the boiler. Obviously, the stake itself came from the Master Bedroom, as one was missing from there.


There was a kitchen knife in the boiler room as well, but we're all pretty sure it wasn't the murder weapon.

I can confirm the kitchen knife wasn't used. The wound was made with a double-edged blade.

We're going to have to be more careful about letting you robots investigate by yourselves, aren't we?

[Sorry, this is still the zero-tact corner for the foreseeable future.]

They really wanted to distract us from what was going on at the chapel. Koide was probably never in the library while he was alive.

Hey! We did our best!

[He shouts. Keeping away from the corner.]

[He just deadeyes Wheatley, extremely literally, given he's a deadhead.]
literalidiotball: (Ah... One problem)

[....]

Well, we did. Look everywhere.

I think that's right. There was very little actual blood at the scene in the library.

Everything smelled like paint for a long time.

[He was there for a really long time.]

Since it's a decoy, is there anything we can learn from it?
youkaiwatch: (i'll know in my heart)

I'm trying to figure out what the point was of making it such an obvious setup.

[personal profile] anonnomnomnom 2019-04-20 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
The paint was really fresh, wasn't it? How much time did they have to put everything away before everyone woke up?

Maybe they didn't even have enough time to do that.

Oh! Maybe that's why they couldn't put the shoes back on Koide!

[personal profile] anonnomnomnom 2019-04-20 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Because they ran out of time... We'll see.
youkaiwatch: (just flip that rock over)

It was fresh enough to still drip and splatter, yes. There was a lot of it, so it would have taken a while to dry anyway, but I don't think it could have been more than a few hours at most.

[ she's not really a paint expert, though... ]

That sounds about right. There's a lot that we can do with the Blue Truth, because there's so many holes.
