THE SECOND TRIAL

[Soon after the failed attempt to contact the dead, the tell-tale alarm suddenly rings out, rattling everyone's teeth alongside Marie's voice.]

ATTENTION! EMERGENCY ALERT! PLEASE GO TO THE ELEVATORS IMMEDIATELY!! HMHMHMMM! I WILL NEVER GET TIRED OF SAYING THAT...!

[And so, once again, the elevators bring everyone back down to the trial room, where the table has been...altered, slightly, color-wise, to reflect those who are no longer among you. And once more, upon entering the force field, weapons disappear - and powers fail to work.

Bottson hops up onto the center of the table, transmitting the evidence found.]

heRe yOU Are eVerYBOdy! THe sUsPECt lISt!



YoU cAN Do THiS!


[Above everyone once more is Marie, floating around in her hover platform.]

WELL, WELL! FANCY MEETING YOU ALL HERE AGAIN! I GUESS YOU ALL FAILED TO KEEP THAT GUY ALIVE, HUH?? AHAHAHA!!

WELL, LET'S SEE IF YOU CAN GET WHO DID IT THIS TIME, HMM??

You... before here, you weren't familiar with the kind of machines we've got here, right?

[tiefleaf]

I mean, why would I be? Not even whatever gnomish inventions they've been coming up with can compare to all of these... Things.

[fashionfever]

And you also can't always read, which makes it harder to catch up...?

[backuphero]

So, then... you'd have no way of knowing that an electrical cord in a bathtub can kill somebody.

[tiefleaf]

[He's vaguely familiar with lightning magic, but why's he gonna bring that up when he could die?]

I mean... Fuck, no.

[backuphero]

So unless - Mr. Rosenkreuz did a lot of reading to catch up with the technology here, I don't want to think this might be like last time, but....

[theserpentsmiles]

He did seem to make a point of investigating highly academic things. He was a smart man, I wouldn't be surprised if he could learn enough...

[tiefleaf]

[ are you saying the illiterate purple boy is dumb

I mean... he has 11 INT so he's not dumb but he's not smart either]

[theserpentsmiles]

[Nope, only that every Kaiba ever is extra af.]

[fashionfever]

Yeah, just in case SOME people think I only diss character defense when I already don't like someone much, Molly not knowing about this stuff just means we have to consider Molly defending himself from Rosenkreuz.

[backuphero]

Yeah.

Which... God....

[HE IS NOT OKAY WITH ANY OPTION IN THIS SITUATION]
