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!"

Would you prefer I be killed in a day or so by one of our hosts?

[commemoration]

I don't think they would do that. What happened to Miss Ries... it wasn't their fault or anyone else here, I'm sure of it...

[acherontiastyx]

They're not exactly doing much to stop it, either.

[commemoration]

They are only three people, after all. [...Ah] Not to doubt your skills or professionalism, I mean--oh no, I'm sorry, I should not have said something so rude.

[This is directed to the hosts before she continues.]

Perhaps this matter would be solved if all of us found a way to work together here to prevent it from happening again?

[thatdarkmage]

Three people who had a hand in bringing all of us here!

[ He'll smile brightly as he says this. Don't mind his interruption and sneaking into here. ]

I don't really care about what they're trying to do here, but I think it might be a big mistake to think they're powerless or that they couldn't do anything about it if they wanted, if you know what I mean?

[commemoration]

Didn't they say that our being here was an accident?

[Or maybe she's remembering it wrong... oh gosh, she hopes that's not the case--]

[thatdarkmage]

[ He might've been born at night but he wasn't born last night.

Well, maybe that's not the case for some others. ]

Hmmm, maybe!

Doesn't mean I believe them, though.

[acherontiastyx]

Yeah, I'm never not gonna stop thinking they're extremely shady. Shadier than my house. Which is extremely shady.
