Week 3, Saturday

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.

Mm, well, those are the rules.

[Anyway, he just...stares at Nora for a moment, before sighing heavily.]

I am James Moriarty, the criminal rival to Sherlock Holmes, the famous consulting detective. Of course I don't like having to solve a murder when I'm most known for plotting them!

[Loud grouchy noise because like. Does he look like somebody who likes following rules, ever. Also, does he look like somebody who reads, at all.]

I've heard of Sherlock Holmes but that's it. He's just some ancient guy with a pipe and bad clothes. [shrug] But man, that explains a lot.

Whatever, shouldn't you be GOOD at figuring out murders after plotting 'em???

[Okay, at that description? Moriarty fucking breaks down into laughter.

Sorry about the rest, he's too busy trying not to die because oh my god.]

WHAT???

[WHY IS THE OLD MAN WAHAHAING NOW]

If - hahaha! - If only that were the case! Ah, it would be so much easier for me if the man was just as old as I, instead of looking so damned youthful!
