Week 3, Saturday

[foundationmods]

This time, when everyone files into the studio, they aren't escorted to their seats. Instead, they are sent to podiums up on the stage arrange in a semi-circle. Everyone can see each other, and everyone is also visible to the cameras. Off to stage right is a jury box with 12 prinnies in it, all in various states of 'fancy dress'. One is wearing a suit top, another a blouse, one a huge Colonial-era wig. To stage left at box 0 is Dazai's seat, where he will be spending most of the trial, but he will get up to move around at times. And in the very center is a picture of Aqua. Once everyone is in their spots, one of the prinnies will hit a gavel against the podium in front of it, signaling the start of the trial.

It's time to find Aqua's killer.

I should probably bring up that even if the strip check didn't find anything, we do have some people who can regenerate, so it's possible that our potential killer might have that ability, along with being able to get up on the roof easily.

[ just gonna

put that up there ]

[allmyfriendsaredead]

Do we think for certain that the culprit was injured in the attempt, then?

[darkova]

Vanitas confirmed that Aqua dying easily is unlikely- so she was either incapacitated or... well, someone healed.

[odasaku]

I couldn’t find any signs that Aqua struggled... but maybe I missed it. I don’t know.

[dereban]

[ Inaba just shrugs, honestly.

She didn't look at the body and there wasn't any mention of a struggle from Oda so that isn't up to her to make a decision on that. ]

[failsaw]

It didn't look like she fought back, or tried to defend herself. I'd be fuckin surprised if she hurt whoever got her.

[shortstacked]

Do we know who does have those kind of abilities?

[dereban]

I know at least one, but I don't know if there are any others.

[merirut]

Hmph. We could always do a test.

[odasaku]

Are you gonna show us your abilities?

[oceanicbutterfly]

Is that something we can test without causing any injuries?

[allmyfriendsaredead]

What are you suggesting?

[shortstacked]

That would just cause more injuries for anyone who doesn't have that kind of ability.

[dereban]

We're not cutting people just to prove a point.

[ SHE'S NOT GOING THROUGH THIS AGAIN!!! ]

[shortstacked]

[yeah he can pretty much guess who she is referring to]

Well if there are others, I guess we won't know unless they admit to it.

[scarsnstripes]

I'm one. I was in blue room all night, however.

[Really is anyone surprised given how much he's been throwing himself at challenges.]

And I didn't have any weapons, I've given everything I've gotten to Saki-san.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

And I destroyed them.

[Rather publicly, too.]

[scarsnstripes]

And several people saw it happen, myself included.

[He's!! Not letting people suspect Saki.]

[shortstacked]

[yeah. he already guessed as much and isn't too surprised by that]

Yeah, I remembers seeing her destroy them.

I guess if anyone else does have those abilities, we won't know unless they come forward.

[Silver hangs his head]

.... I could have done all of these things.... except the ice....

[eldritcheyes]

You didn't fucking kill her, Silver.

[It's said quietly, with an edge to his voice.]

[iblistriggered]

I was on the roof all night... How did I not see her sooner...

[eldritcheyes]

You didn't kill her.

[That's almost hissed through his teeth. He's mad, not at Silver but at this whole mess.]

[dereban]

. . . I agree that you didn't kill her, to say the least.

[ she

gets his feelings re: feeling like shit about this murder because she was just in the garage on Thursday. maybe if she destroyed some of the chemicals in there, this would have been prevented. ]

[iblistriggered]

[Silver bares his fangs in frustration] I hate this! I hate it! I can't protect anyone...!
