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.

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?

[merirut]

No, and not for a lack of trying, either.

[But he does still have a sword on his hip!]

[oceanicbutterfly]

Is that something we can test without causing any injuries?

[merirut]

Probably not.

[he's just offering to cut people nbd]

[oceanicbutterfly]

Then no.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

What are you suggesting?

[merirut]

[He looks at her. Puts a hand on the pommel of the sword at his hip.]

The fastest way of testing this out, of course.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[YEAH, UM.]

Isn't that a little extreme?

[merirut]

Then if you have any other suggestions, let's hear it.

[shortstacked]

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

[merirut]

It would only be a small cut.

[Small cut with a big sword. Yes.]

[shortstacked]

With that sword? [he definitely looks skeptical of that]

[merirut]

And you're a fool if you think I'd be swinging it around.

[dereban]

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

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

[merirut]

Then what's your suggestion? Or are you saying that you trust everyone enough to not lie about their abilities?

[dereban]

I don't trust anyone not to lie in this fucking case. That's the goddamn point. Nobody wants to be executed.

But I sure as hell don't want people to get hurt when we can find another way to figure this shit out.

[oceanicbutterfly]

We don't even know whether it's useful information. For all we know, the killer is hoping we'll keep worrying about this question so we'll overlook something else.

[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.
