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!"

Well the showers are on the second floor, so maybe she tried to run away?

[acherontiastyx]

Maybe, but I mean, if her throat got slit or something and she did die right there, the killer mighta taken her up to the shower from there so we wouldn't know where she really died. I mean, once I got back to the top of the steps, the floor was obviously cleaned a lot.

[letstrythatagain]

But her clothes were clean and dry. She was already naked, or at least only in a towel, when she was attacked. I can't see her running around the halls naked unless she's being chased by someone, you know?

[acherontiastyx]

Oh, okay. Gotcha. So she was probably chased out of the shower, then killed on the stairs, then taken back up to the shower?

[doublesmall]

It'd explain why the stall wasn't more of a mess, probably.

[acherontiastyx]

Yeah... though, speaking of messes, I wonder why they didn't clean up the stuff on the steps when they've gone through all the trouble to clean everything else up. Do you think they just didn't have time?
