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??

This is the dumbest.

[leftthelighton]

Indeed. Your fake attempt was 'the dumbest'.

[crouching_sin]

Because if I injure you then the others aren't going to let me live it down. Do you think I want to stick around with people who are mad at me?

[leftthelighton]

So you risk what happened to that young man, instead?

That is rather faulty logic to me.

[crouching_sin]

If you've never had to sit with a group of people that includes someone you've injured by accident for a long period of time, I envy you.

[leftthelighton]

You have no idea who I've sat with, sir. There is not much to envy there.

[ Other than Fogg, but he will not taint his name by mentioning him in a place such as this. ]
