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.

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.

[houndumb]

Use a knife instead, we ain't here to swim in people's blood!

[That's not helpful, Nora.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.]

[houndumb]

[Glaaaaare!]

[oceanicbutterfly]

We don't need to go around hurting people.

[houndumb]

I dunno about you, but I'd rather get a cut than get executed for stupid bullshit like a pool noodle murder.

[oceanicbutterfly]

We don't even know if Aqua-san fought back. Anyone who wants to vote for someone based on them being able to regenerate is an idiot.

[houndumb]

It wouldn't JUST be the regeneration. Anyway, people are stupid.

[Nora, it's the pot kettle thing again.]

'Sides, we don't know if she DIDN'T fight back, that's the point!

[merirut]

And I'll say that I know how to handle my own sword so that we won't be in that situation.

[houndumb]

Test it on yourself first, then!

cw: self harm

[merirut]

Fine.

[And then he takes off that sleeve/glove thing on his left hand and just. Draws it along his palm lightly.

So now he's bleeding.]

[darkova]

[Popcorn]

You realize some of us can use healing spells that don't set off automatically?

[merirut]

This can still help narrow down the options.

[darkova]

Very well, here.

[He offers his arm. You gotta come here to get it though Sandy.]

[houndumb]

[They're literally yelling across like 10 people so Nora has to squint to even see the wound?? How do they still manage to be disasters with this much buffer.]

Seriously, do archangels suck at healing spells too or what.

[merirut]

[He trusts your eyesight Nora, that's what. Also he narrows his eyes because bitch please!!]

Hmph, it has nothing to do with being an archangel and everything to do with this space.

[iblistriggered]

... yeah, no. If we want to test regenerative abilities, we can use a small knife.

[merirut]

Hmph... fine.

[He was mostly arguing because it was Nora anyways.]

[eldritcheyes]

[Leo's next to Sandalphon, so he just reaches out a hand.]

I trust you.

[merirut]

[Just. Stares at Leo for a second with an eyebrow raised. You look like a noodle, dude, no offence.]

...Are you sure?

[eldritcheyes]

[Leo shrugs.]

I've been hurt way worse before. If you need proof that the only thing special about me are the Eyes of the Gods, then it's no big deal.

[merirut]

[There's a pause there before he nods. The most he'll leave is a small cut on Leo's finger though, something a little larger than a papercut but nothing more than that.]
