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.]

Comments

[notadinosnack]

I have no objection.

[relieable]

Neither do I, but someone who's... not us should probably do it.

[notadinosnack]

Arthur then.

[incendiarize]

Oh, uh, alright. I can do that.

[Gimme yo hair.]

hair check mods

[relieable]

[here, Osomatsu will give Arthur a strand of his hair that he just plucked from his head]

[strangerpeople]

[In terms of color, it's actually a match this time.

But the strand is waaaaaaaaaaay too long to be Oso's.]

[incendiarize]

Not yours.

[notadinosnack]

[Thanatos will go ahead and pluck out one of the darker hairs and hand it to Arthur.]

[strangerpeople]

[Not dark enough and too short.]

[incendiarize]

Definitely not.

[necroyalty]

[ Ambrosine is going to pluck out a single strand of her hair to hand to Arthur. ]

[strangerpeople]

[While the length is comparable, the hair color does not match.]

[incendiarize]

Uhhh.... Nope!

[hexposition]

[Um, well. This is a little difficult?

But okay. Emma undoes her hair, which falls in long waves around her, and plucks out a single, very long strand to pass around over to Arthur.

While he's checking, she's just going to get to work braiding her hair back up.]

[strangerpeople]

[The hair length is comparable, but the color does not match.]

[incendiarize]

Nah...

[He just kinda glances at Harriet.] No way.

It doesn't match any of you.

.......

[Something's nagging at his mind.]

[hexposition]

What's the part that isn't matching?

[Still braiding... lord Emma has a lot of hair.]

[necroyalty]

It's a bit of a stretch, but...

Let's examine the other captives.

[incendiarize]

I think we can rule out me and Eric right away.

[incendiarize]

Color's right for Osomatsu, but it's too long for him. Length is similar for you and Ambrosine, but the color's wrong. Thanatos's color and length are both wrong, and....it's kind of obviously not pink.

[hexposition]

[Emma thinks over this as she continues braiding.]

...No one in this room has hair that would match that description.

I can think of two that are not among us that might, though.

[incendiarize]

....does it....have to be one of us?

[hexposition]

I suppose not, but it's not as if anyone else has been in here or in contact with the pillowcases in some time...

[notadinosnack]

So perhaps the question here is who has long hair similar in color to Osomatsu?

[relieable]

[geez, his hair's never been given so much attention before]

...Maybe Akko-chan? Or that creepy chick with the toenails.
