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??

Yeah, but it sure doesn't mean I'm liking the outcome.

[losergod]

[ He frowns. ]

My question is, how fast do you normally heal?

[tiefleaf]

About as fast as a human does, more or less. Tieflings aren't that far off, I mean, we're sort of already part human...ish.

...

[ You know what? He isn't even surprised. In fact he doesn't seem all that weirded out at all. ]

... I'm reminded of the Pythias. ... In any event, with a shallow cut, usually it scabs up fairly quickly, so we've got something of a problem with disproving that you aren't the one behind this.

Unless you were framed.
