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!"

[and on the other other hand, while she's here... SORRY, ROSALIND.]

Look, I know this is personal shit, and if it's not you I'll owe you a drink or something later.

You did go clean up at some point, right?

[originallutece]

In my bathroom.

[. . .]

I was tired.

The thing is that unless her throat got slit first it doesn't make sense for the floor to be that clean in front of the nutcracker room, if that thing got taken to beat her up. But there's no point in beating her up that badly if she'd already been killed, either, especially if someone's leaving a blood trail to go get a second weapon...

Water would've had to be mopped up though, maybe, if someone came and got something to knock her out first. And to hear your buddy tell it, you two went pretty hard. You're sure cleaning up in your own bathroom would cut it?

[and they'd talked on that first day, he knows she knows about the terrible nutcrackers.]

[originallutece]

Sorry, what exactly are you saying? I'm following your theory on a second weapon being gotten, but I don't see how that connects with my rinsing myself off with a bathroom sink comes into it. Yes, it cut it, I was tired and I splashed some water on my face and went to sleep.

I'm saying that if your partner there is bringing up that it apparently got pretty dirty, that doesn't really sound like it'd do it to me, but you do you, I guess.

[originallutece]

I shall, thank you, and that's a bottle you owe me now for saying that.

Okay to be clear...when I said 'dirty sex' I was referring specifically to sex where you don't exactly clean up in between bouts so that....you know. The uh...atmosphere stays all sexy and pheromone-y.

Not like...literally 'we got filthy doing it' sex.
