WEEK 6 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...๐Ÿ—ˆ



...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, the smile on her face bright once again.

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.

...There was so few of them now.
All of them...were now alone, having to come to this conclusion themselves.
Yet, they had to find the truth.
Why did three people die?
Who did this?
The answer...stretched on ahead...

"A sweet note, and an odd heat"...

[Kurama is frowning thoughtfully.]

Thinking of something?
byanyother_name: (Little bit sad?)

Emi had no particular fondness for sweet things, and why an odd heat? Why mention the tart at all if it wasn't significant?

I couldn't smell anything, but lemon is a very overpowering scent. Perhaps something was in the tart that shouldn't have been.

Maybe chilli powder? If it was poisoned I can't think of any that would cause that effect...

...you already had an encounter with one, Takumi. That tree you hurt your hand on?

Manchineel apples can close off the airways when eaten.

...holy hell.

[He looks at his hand, the light lacework of burn scars still there]
byanyother_name: (Are you serious?)

[personal profile] byanyother_name 2019-05-04 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
You didn't research it after that?

I was told about the apples- in fact, I think you told me. But it's been so long I haven't thought about it in weeks.
byanyother_name: (Eh-heh...)

It has been a hectic time...

...Which leads to the next question: If she was already dying, why cut her neck open? The witch has verified in red that she is honest about "what they ultimately died from", after all.

Maybe because she didn't eat it all the way? Or they decided to put her out of her.. decided to end it quicker?

Hard to say, still, I find it a bit odd. A mercy killing would be one thing, but if you were performing a murder, doing such a thing just exposes yourself more.

That's true, but sometimes people do things without thinking. They are ruled by their emotions. He could have felt bad or even regretted what he did...

There's one thing in particular that's bothering me, too: When are we assuming Emi punched him? Before eating the lemon tart? But if that were the case, why would she eat it? After all, if she had reason to suspect someone trying to kill her prepared it, why would she eat it anyways?
