THE THIRD TRIAL

[As soon as the final pieces of evidence are collected, Bottson just looks at everyone through his sunglasses and huffs, before rolling off.

Several moments later, the alarm sounds.]

ATTENTION! IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN!! EVERYONE COME TO THE ELEVATORS IMMEDIATELY FOR THE TRIAL!! AHAHAHAHA!!

[Once everyone comes down to the trial room, once more powers and weapons disappear when they enter the force field. The table has been updated to reflect those who are now, unfortunately, gone.

Bottson, meanwhile, hops up on the table, looking completely disinterested in what's happening, even as he processes and uploads the evidence given. The suspect list appears on everyone's wrist communicators.]

THE GLOW

THE TECHNO

[From the ceiling, outside of the force field, is Marie, looking very pleased with herself.]

OK, NOW GET GOING! SOMEONE AMONG YOU IS TOTALLY A KILLER AND NEEDS TO BE PUNISHED!!

Huh. I guess probability laws demand there had to be something going for you.

What do they even infiltrate, though?

[commandurr]

[She slowly smiles.]

SINCE YOU DON'T REMEMBER...DO YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW??

NOT THAT I CAN SEE YOU FIGURING ANYTHING OUT EVEN IF IT HIT YOU!!

[theserpentsmiles]

If I'm asking, it means I want to know.

[Like he's speaking to a small child tbh.]

[commandurr]

[Yeah, that goes over her head.]

WHY, TO INFILTRATE THE GIRL GENIUS OF COURSE!

THINK ABOUT THAT, HMMM?

[theserpentsmiles]

So...we're inside someone's body? That explains a few things.

Since you're finally being useful, want to tell us why we should have known that had our memories not been tampered with?

[commandurr]

AHAHAHA!!

WHAT, I CAN'T ENJOY WATCHING YOU ALL SUFFER TRYING TO FIGURE THINGS OUT??

[She is, uh, definitely not refuting the idea you just put forward, Nagisa...]

[toushiro]

Does this have anything to do with a woman named Iris, by any chance?

[commandurr]

IT'S IVY YOU IDIOT!!

[theserpentsmiles]

And back to being rude, useless, and.... I'd call you bitchy, but that would make Bitch-sensei look bad...

[backuphero]

[Jonathan's had enough of this "not remembering" shit. He aches, his ears are ringing, and he's angry and it feels almost like coming home to be so perfectly enraged.

He slams his free hand down on the table. Yes, he's still holding Yurick's hand with the other.]

All right, then, why would we remember?

[commandurr]

YOU WOULDN'T! THAT'S THE FUN PART!!
