trial 4; baby, it's cold inside

WHO KILLED CHRISTMAS?

Starshine and Brasco assemble everyone in the room. The room is extra foreboding and cold after the events of last week, and the raw egg evidence as well as Rider's body have been preserved in the room, so tread carefully.

Starshine slams down the paper for this week with all the suspects and laughs, turning to Brasco and gesturing wildly, pointing at him. "J'accuse, Brasco! This whole time, we've been pointing figures at each other but there was one man we never pointed at. And it's you! And actually, all the rest of the people on this list, too." She looks back at the list and taps it gently, "Oh, yeah, one other thing, I need you to write two names on your paper. Assuming you actually vote, unlike you abstainers," she says it the way someone in the 1950s might say communists. "I deduced that two people definitely killed the two dead people, so have fun with that." She claps her hands, "get to it, my minions!"

... Well, you seem to know more about blood than I do. Perhaps we could check to see if anyone has blood stains on their clothes as well?

[acherontiastyx]

I mean, yeah, maybe? Let's check it out.

Clothes check.

[theothermrgray]

Very well. Let's see those sleeves, shall we?

[acherontiastyx]

[he holds his arms out! there's no blood on his sleeves or on his sweater.

like, the only place you might find blood at all is the bottom of his shoes because he might've accidentally stepped in blood while lifting the fridge up.]

[theothermrgray]

[The shoes makes sense.]

[doublesmall]

Look at their fingernails, while you're at it. It's harder to scrub out from there.

[acherontiastyx]

Oh, yeah. Here's mine, then.

[he holds out his hands for chuuya to check his nails, which have no blood.]

[thedifferencebetween]

Okay, obviously I have blood on my clothes and nails, but I've had it since Monday, you've...you've gotta all know that.

I'm just a victim of bad circumstances!

[acherontiastyx]

...you didn't clean it off at all, dude? If you're being legit that's super gross.

[thedifferencebetween]

I cleaned my hands and did what I could with my sweater, but I'm saying any blood still there, it's from Monday!

[acherontiastyx]

[...

he leans in a little closer to squint at them bloodstains. how fresh do they look.]

[thedifferencebetween]

[There's a lot of blood that's obviously been scrubbed at, but it looks to be the same general shape and amount as the stains from Monday, at least.]

[acherontiastyx]

[hmmmmmmmmmmm.

hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

...

well he hasn't really seen the guy in a while so]

[thedifferencebetween]

Look, this is all circumstantial! I'm being...framed! Used as a red herring! I've got bloody clothes, I was threatening people with a fire poker, I'm being set up 'cause I'm an easy target! You gotta see that, buddy.

[acherontiastyx]

...

[he straightens out a piece of paper....]

[thedifferencebetween]

I swear to whatever the hell god may or may not exist that I didn't kill anybody here. It was the robot and creepy kid, obviously!

[thatdarkmage]

Wow, someone's desperate!

[acherontiastyx]

[he kind of taps his pencil against the table, considering the following...]

[theothermrgray]

... And you haven't washed it off, because...?

[Okay, now he's suspicious.]

[thedifferencebetween]

No, I mean...whatever's there! Obviously I washed my hands, but blood sticks around. And my sweater...yeah, it took me a while to wash it, because I was kind of not in my right mind after finding my daughter's body! So there's blood still on it. From Monday.

[theothermrgray]

... May I see it for myself? Please?

[thedifferencebetween]

See what? The sweater? Yeah, sure. Look, same stain, I couldn't wash it out. And yeah, it's covered, but that's cause...ya know.

[Holding his daughter's body after taking her down.]

[doublesmall]

You haven't gotten it off your nails for almost a week? Seriously? Either we need to ditch whatever food you touched since then, or you're full of shit.

[thedifferencebetween]

I've washed my hands, but blood sticks around! If there's any under my nails, it's from Monday.

Re: Clothes check.

[thatdarkmage]

Here you go! As for if the killer having blood on their clothing, probably not if everyone ends up clean.

[ No blood on his clothing! ]
