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.

[Sometimes hats just happen. Nora slants him a half-curious and half-confused look.]

'Course you're a scheming one.

[It doesn't quite sound like an insult at this point.]

What, didja get a new job or something...

[visionem]

[ He smiles at it regardless. ]

I did, yes.

[houndumb]

[He grumbles a little bit because he's still loathe to accept Alcor smiles at face value at this point in trial disaster land but it's fine.]

So? What's the deal?

[visionem]

[ Maybe one day nora will acquire box's guide to smiles. Alcor pauses for a moment before answering. ]

If you truly wish to know, I will tell you Nora. But not here.

[houndumb]

[He'd probably still end up misreading it because legit what is social understanding and interaction but it's better than nothing. There's a cock of his head like a dog that's heard a whistle before he makes a grumbling sound.]

... Fine. Later, then.

[They still have a whole mess of things to attend to, and he's not looking forward to any of it, but at least there's some kind of resolution here. Maybe. There's enough to move forward for the moment.]
