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!"

[ um ]

Friends share food with each other you know!

[doublesmall]

You aren't my friend, Sugimoto, you're my roommate. A roommate who's apparently an opportunistic thief.

[ahkas]

I'll replace it! I promise. Anyway, I didn't take much .... just about half of a bottle.

[doublesmall]

Half the bottle?!

That's it. If we both get out of this, I'm moving.

[ahkas]

Don't be like that!

[ pushes a cookie tray between them as a peace offering. ] Who will put up with my snoring and my smelly farts while I sleep! I don't want to have to explain that to anyone again!

[happydreamed]

...Perhaps 'tis best if you have a room to yourself.

[ahkas]

Aww, c'mon, not you too ...!

[ pulls the brim of his hat down in embarassment. pwease no bully ]

[happydreamed]

You can hardly expect me to refrain when you announce such things in public.

[doublesmall]

He can sleep in there with all the nutcrackers, alone. You think I want to put up with that, huh?! Why do you think I wasn't there last night!

[happydreamed]

I had thought that the nutcrackers were enough to drive you away. But I can sympathize with your plight even more now.
