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!"

The element of surprise can only carry one so far. The amount of bruises suggests that the attacker was not skilled at killing quickly and efficiently.

[letstrythatagain]

I suppose that nixes the idea of a serial killer, since the other deaths this week were rather quick and brutal.

[happydreamed]

Perhaps 'tis why we are meant to investigate this death and not the others.

[letstrythatagain]

What, serial killers are allowed, but an individual murder isn't?

[That's silly! Though maybe that Krampus-thing IS real and murders by monsters don't get investigated.]

[happydreamed]

'Twould seem backwards from all logic, would it not?

[letstrythatagain]

It really does. Both should be tried and see the killers locked up.

[happydreamed]

I would hope so... But let us focus on that after the task at hand is complete.

[thatdarkmage]

So you're saying we're looking for someone with no experience in killing?

[ He finds that amusing. ]

[happydreamed]

'Tis a theory I feel is worth keeping in mind.
