THE THIRD TRIAL

THE THIRD TRIAL

[After the finale clues are found, the ticking which we totally didn't forget to add to the investigation post in everyone's head stops, and the Elder Steward's voice echoes through the webs.]

Excellent. Now, please, proceed to the ossuary! Do not tarry.

[Just like before, the Ossuary rumbles upwards to accept the remaining Strangers, with bats hassling those who take too long. Just like before, chains drag everyone to their respective coffins, and in the center are souls for sustenance. You might expect the only true difference to be that piles of skulls now replace the coffins where Zelda, Bangladesh, and Jun might have otherwise stood when they were alive. However, one more change has been made - Eric's coffin is now quite a bit fancier and even a little less coffin-looking. For example, it has a nice chair! Apparently there's some favoritism afoot.

Once everyone is in place, the Elder Steward strolls forward to the edge of the circle, hands crossed beneath his robes. The scrolls glow to reveal the evidence and the suspect list as this happens.]

THE OVERBOARD	THE CIRCUIT	THE RUBBER	THE NEON
				THE ENEMY

Now. Let us get started, shall we?

[And with that, the ticking begins anew. Someone killed. It's time to decide who's responsible.

The trial for the murder of Jun Ushiro, The Launcher, has begun.]

So, hey, has anyone ever seen one of these before?

[He produces his drawing. The boy does not have a career in art.]

[whiterosefoes]

I'd say that is either the worst drawing of Sangan I've ever seen, or a good drawing of something I've never seen.

[incendiarize]

What's Sangan? [If this is a thing he should know, sorry, he's dumb.] This thingy was there in between when he got stabbed and when the shelves fell on him.

[whiterosefoes]

It's a round monster with sharp teeth. But as the name would suggest [any of you chumps speak japanese?] it's supposed to have three eyes.

Was it doing anything in particular?

[incendiarize]

[what's a japan]

Not really? It just kinda whooshed in and was floating near him.

[whiterosefoes]

So it appeared from nowhere?

[incendiarize]

Maybe? I didn't - he didn't see where it came from. As far as I can tell.

[whiterosefoes]

I'm mostly trying to determine if it was a real pet of his or a hallucination. If no one has found it since then, it's probably the latter, right?

[relieable]

[okay that drawing is pretty creepy]

I've never seen it... What is it?

[incendiarize]

A thingy that was floating near him right before the shelf fell.

[relieable]

.......... [like a little angel of death]

I would hate to see that before I died. Though, if it's still around, maybe it knows who hurt him.

[notadinosnack]

Never, which really leads me to believe he may have been hallucinating like both were last week.
