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.

True. If he really was way sturdier even with his abilities locked down he could have still been pumping blood for a while.

He was drinking from the Doc every week, but he decided that he needed to go on a diet this week before he killed him.

[It's just reiterating what Erhard said in the library, but eh.]

He still would have been stronger than average even then, because he drank last weekend. The chapel would have messed with that, though, yeah.

Weaknesses to holy places is common in Vampire lore, so that won't help us narrow down, but he would avoid such places - Why did he go into the Chapel?

It's really possible that he'd been looking for a place to lay down those flowers, and could've strayed nearby there by chance. Either way, I can't imagine a scenario where he'd go into the Chapel willingly.

He was talking about maybe putting the flowers at the chapel. He's like that.
rikuchi: (I’d give)

...That'd make sense. And if the killer were stalking him, he'd have no choice but to fight them in the chapel.

They knew some of their vampire lore, at least, even if the rest was really stupid.

[Like, seriously, Natsuno is not a bat.]

It was like they got it all from books.

Even for that, it seemed like a rudimentary understanding. That was my thought about the stake, anyway -- the fact that they used a metal [ and... sentient apparently ] one instead of a wooden one, like they didn't know there was supposed to be a difference.
rikuchi: (and the beginning)

...The killer had already decided on their target way in advance, then. And they'd been probably studying on it before they went after Natsuno.

[ ... His lips curl into a frown. But... ]

I think it's all coming together.
