WEEK 3 - TRIAL

[foundationmods]

TRIAL

The morning seemed so far away yesterday - yet, it also seems too soon when morning comes and you are all yet again ushered to the third floor by The Lady. The Captain is there, in all of his....wait, no, he's asleep.

The doors close, and...nothing happens. There's still the box labeled 'VOTES' in his lap on the couch, but...

On the table is a letter, that reads 'Only one person may be voted for execution this week. Please figure out who that will be during the time limit.'

As you finish reading that, music begins to play in the room...


VICTIM: SHIROU EMIYA, HIMEKO INABA, AND MUNEHISA IWAI

23 GUESTS REMAIN.

... Let's hear it, then.

[purrtagonist]

Why did the Jorogumo have to wrap Shirou into a cocoon?

And why was there a folded towel near the pool with webbing on it?

[latebluemer]

... It was because they wanted to disguise the third monster as much as they could. If they used the cocoon and then the webbing to link it all together, then it made framing Owain-kun more complete.

[purrtagonist]

That theory works for wrapping Shirou, but the towel?

[latebluemer]

If we're right, and the Jorogumo is actually weak to water, then the Doppelganger would have been the only one in the pool. Unless they made it look like the Jorogumo was involved there -- it would be too easy for us to tell.

[purrtagonist]

What I'm getting at is there's a possibility the towel was used to clean up the glitter. It's possible the Jorogumo came by afterwards to cover the towel in webbing to hide this fact.

[dolleyed]

Was it really completely covered?

[purrtagonist]

[glances at Tsumugi for that one]

[maskarang]

Covered enough to stick to my hand.

[jumpedtheshark]

Yeah, it was pretty sticky.

[Just confirming what Gerome said.]

[purrtagonist]

Enough that it's feasible the webbing could've been covering glitter?

[maskarang]

No.

[purrtagonist]

All right.

Thanks, Gerome-san.

[relentlesslyonwards]

Is it actually necessary to cover the towel in webbing though? I mean, the pool was right there; they could have just tossed it in and I don't think anyone would have found out it was covered in glitter.

[unless it's some really sticky glitter...]

[maskarang]

What caught my eye was the gold from the webs, not glitter. Though I confess I wasn't looking closely. If anyone wants to pursue this theory further, ask Tsumugi if she saw any glitter.

[purrtagonist]

But then there would've been glitter in the pool water.

[relentlesslyonwards]

It's a pretty big pool, though. Unless the towel was completely caked in it, I think it'd be pretty hard to notice.

[Also mod confirmation on the towel happened welp]

[purrtagonist]

It might be.

[TOUGH TO SAY, THOUGH. . . since he wasn't there]
