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.

Did Aqua-san herself have ice abilities? I missed part of that discussion.

[darkremnants]

She does.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Then that raises another possibility for where the ice may have come from.

[darkremnants]

The Frog mentioned it tasting like rain. That makes me pretty certain she's the one who used the ice spell.

[ Rain and storm is kind of her thing? ]

[oceanicbutterfly]

Then it seems likely to me that...

[She hesitates. She really doesn't want to have to say this, especially to Vanitas.]

She was also the one intending to use the weapon.

[odasaku]

But she didn’t fight back. If anything, it seemed like she just accepted it all.

[ he frowns. ]

And, like the Professor said, you don’t share a drink with just anyone.

[oceanicbutterfly]

[listen she misses things down here in Noraland]

...then she cooperated.

[And this time it was probably someone whose killer would actually listen.]

[odasaku]

Maybe.

[ he frowns. ]

It’s a little hard to believe, but... it’s a possibility.

[hatesdeerstalkers]

While that is a thought, it's also possible that someone else had the weapon ready.

Potentially the killer, or perhaps an assistant. After all, We've never fully asked the extent of everyone's abilities here, have we?

[odasaku]

She isn’t the only one with ice powers it seems. But at this point, I don’t think anyone will come out in the open and admit what they’re capable of.

[hatesdeerstalkers]

Not unless it exonerates them of the crime, no.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

My own abilities are difficult to describe fully as well...

...Still, after this, maybe we should consider it.

[shortstacked]

You mean going over what we can all do?

[allmyfriendsaredead]

Yes. It's probably good to know for other reasons, too.

Like how we can support each other.

[hatesdeerstalkers]

If we intend on keeping each other from murdering, it may be a good idea.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

Of course we do!

We prevented it two weeks. We... might have grown complacent.

[And Aqua paid the price for them all.]

[odasaku]

I don’t think we can force people that don’t want to say it.

[ there are some that aren’t comfortable with it. ]

But I think we should do that, yeah.

[dereban]

[ you know what

you get plus points in Inaba's book for that first statement... ]

[iblistriggered]

Then what's the point? Someone could just hide the important parts of their power sets, as an ace in the hole if they decide they want to kill someone.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

It's better to at least try. If anyone does tell us their abilities, it's still more helpful than nothing at all.

[darkremnants]

What weapon?

[oceanicbutterfly]

The noodle.

[darkremnants]

Ah. So it was hers.

[ hmm ]

That means she had tea with someone who knew about the weapon and she didn't think would kill her.

[ Someone she trusted then. This is why he doesn't do friendship... ]

[darkova]

According to Vanitas, yes.

[dereban]

It was brought up earlier that she does, yes.
