FINAL TRIAL
...Finally, it was time to begin.
The unlit pyre rose before them, tall and massive.
The smell of smoke wafted around them, as the Witch stood before them - flanked by all her demons and her servants.
The Pieces she had taken.🗈
The unlit pyre rose before them, tall and massive.
The smell of smoke wafted around them, as the Witch stood before them - flanked by all her demons and her servants.
The Pieces she had taken.🗈
There was no audience, no trial.
It was just them...and the Witch.
The Witch who stood before the pyre, as if accepting her fate.
In this, this final hour... Music could be heard by both the pieces and those that looked on from another plane.
Their forms were changed again, for the final time - to those of the trial.
A trial that could easily turn into an execution...or a redemption.
But it still had to happen.
If something heals improperly, you must cause pain and reopen the wounds to make it heal correctly.
But.
There was always the risk of infection...
....Would this end....in a happy ending...?
...Nothing was certain.
Nothing, except the knowledge in their own hearts and minds.

THE WITCH
In that instant, her cracks disappear - showing emotions flitting across her face as she gets herself ready for this, their final confrontation-
And then, she throws out her hands, and cackles, showing them only the cruel Witch.]

TRIAL ONE - DEATH OF THE GREAT DETECTIVE

It's not really fair making the new girl start, is it?
[ She sighs and gives her hair a flip -- so anyone who hasn't seen that black hole of a right eye can sure see it there for a second -- and starts her retelling, notably switching out each "Yuuko" from before for Nirrti's name. ]
There's no point in fighting this truth.

TRIAL THREE - NO HONOR AMONG THIEVES
Re: TRIAL THREE - NO HONOR AMONG THIEVES
Alright, lads and lasses and everyone that doesn't count as one. I got a tale for ya that's straight from our noble Lady of the House.
[ and with that, he starts retelling the story of Akira and Ryuji's murder at the hands of the Lady ]
Think your smart enough to prove that what she said isn't true? Then bring it!

The hounds gather around him, all of their coloring matching his and looking considerably more menacing than they did a couple of days ago. Why is this guy like this, honestly.]
Oh, is this how we're doing this? Looks like we've got all the Queen's horses and all the Queen's men out here.
[There's a brief cackle before he reels out a rendition of the Witch's fantasy in a lazy, drawling tone, never moving from his perch.]
Who wants to face me first?

A different cane appears in hand, his fingers turning the prayer wheels, his eyes closing for a moment - before opening, his green eyes glowing like a piece of jade held up to the sun]
This is it - do not let your guard down even for a moment. If we want to have the optimal end to this tale, think carefully.

I'm sure we'll do fine.

I guess we have to do it like this, won't we?
I'll assist in the case that I dealt with. It's only right for me to face my sins.

Alright, if I'm hearing this right we have to prove once and for all how each murder went down. No guessing, no being 'close enough'. Thankfully with the notes and the puzzles we should have enough to work with.
[He takes out his notebook where he copied all the letters and the puzzles for everyone to see]
I have notes to go with Sora's list, so if anyone needs to go over what she said about each case, it's here.

Trial Five Catherd
I found out from Sherlock that Anon picked Wheatley's head and bashed him in the forehead with it. The gas canister was also taped to Wheatley's head.
[ That mystery is finally solved. ]
Anon wound up confessing. He took out Wheatley in self defense because he was targeting him.
[ here is the accusation as well ]
What else are we missing?
no subject
We never confirmed if the demons and/or Nirrti brought the head back afterward. In the note she said she was hoping nothing would wash back up- we know the knife did so we can assume the head did too.

THE FINAL BATTLE
....Everyone, save the Witch, who now stands totally and utterly alone, cracks appearing on her form again.
For a moment, she bites her lip - looks down, then up, then away - before taking in a deep, deep breath...
and stilling everyone with harsh, forced laughter.]
V-Veeeeeeeeerrry goood, pieces!! You've done better than I thought you wooooooooould!! Much better! Nooooow then, now then, shall we finally dance for the laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaast tiiiiiiiiiiiime?!
[She flings her arms out, and black glowing magical gates appear behind her, each one letting a black truth come through, shaped like horrible, terrible swords...!]
COME AND FACE MY TRUUUUUUUUUUTH WITH EVERYTHING YOU HAVE! Face this misfortunate truth with everything you think, and let me crush iiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!
no subject
[And then -
One of the swords fires straight for them, the energy given off by it horrifying and terrible - like it had been steeped in curses for hundreds of hundreds of years, seeped in hatred itself...!]
is this right?
