Trial 2

[jinglehellmods]

WHO KILLED CHRISTMAS?

Four hours pass yet again. Thug Dangerzone and Brasco move all the tables together (with no help from Starshine), and once again the dining room becomes a makeshift trial center. Poor Diana's body is carefully laid out on one of the tables. She's covered by a sheet, because frankly her corpse looks a little nauseating, but she's there if anyone needs to look at her.

On each spot at the table is a some cookies and apple cider, and that basket sits remains cheery and present at the center of the tavle. Next to the food is a pen and a small notebook, like the kind they use on police procedural.

After everyone is seated, or at least standing awkwardly around, Brasco stands up on a chair. "I gotta say, I'm pretty disappointed in you all," he says, and you get the sense he honestly means it. "This is way, way more murders than we wanted here! By a significant margin! But at least justice can be served a little. Me and Princess and Thug were looking around some after you guys finished, and we narrowed it down to five different suspects. So figure it out! You've got all day. Go vote when you're sure, and remember: this isn't a joke. Make sure you get it right. When we've got a majority vote, or when it gets too late, we'll decide.

Ready? Start!"

Ate some snacks in my room. Drinking. Then I slept.

If your next question is whether or not I heard anything, the answer is no. And I'm gonna throw out that I never knew her, either.

And you? [ obligatory. ]

[transparentanswer]

Room Five.

[Places his palm on the table, leaning forward.]

There was a nutcracker missing from your room. Did you notice?

[thatdarkmage]

The plot thickens!

[ahkas]

[ a frown. ]

No. There's a lot of them in there!

But if you're talking about the one in the bed, it's probably back there now - we've tried moving it many times and it just never seems to leave.

[transparentanswer]

There's a gap in the row of them. The fact that you're claiming not to notice is really suspicious. It means either you, or someone that got into your room without you noticing took the nutcracker and used it to kill Diana. Chuuya claims he wasn't there, can you confirm this?

[ahkas]

True, it's suspicious enough. And I can't really provide any other evidence since nobody else was with me there, Chuuya wasn't.

- that's not to say that I think Chuuya killed her at all. All I'm saying is that I was alone.

[transparentanswer]

No one came into your room that night? It was just you in there, the entire time?
