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??

So far my best guess at the order of events is.... Either Rosenkreuz-san or our killer was preparing the electricity trap when the other walked in. A fight broke out, during which Rosenkreuz-san fought with knives and the killer mainly dodged. The killer was grazed once, then kicked Rosenkreuz-san into the water and immediately fled the scene wearing the robe, which was ditched on the way to the bathroom, where he cleaned up and waited out the initial discovery. It's possible he chose the ladies' room specifically to hide better, or he just wasn't paying attention.

Depending on the details, we may be looking at another self-defense case, or even conceivably an unintentional murder.

The saboteur wouldn't have had much time to work, given the speed of everything. It's possible all they could do was move the knives and add a few...though I'm not sure how they would be able to take them from Rosenkreuz-san without being there for at least the end of the fight.
