Heyyyyyyyyy, Strangers! How's Valentine's Day going? Unfortunately we have to start the trial soon if you want to get any dinner dates in before midnight!

I know some of you have a very special day near today, too! So let’s get a move on, shall we? You know the drill! Though you know… since we saw one of those clues, you can bring your pets in today.

[And so it is. Just like last week, the elevator shoots everyone down to the trial room. Lala's podium, now, is Xed out in red. And like last week, five of the podiums' dot matrix name plates suddenly flash with a red border.]

THE BRITTLE
THE CIRCUIT
THE ENEMY
THE NOODLES
THE UNKNOWN
[And clashing with the borders whether red or not, on each Stranger’s podium is a little piece of candy: A gray heart, printed with a message in nearly black capitals. These candies are similar to the pills in that they taste like nothing at all rather than sand; while a pill is meant to serve as a full meal, one candy is about as filling as a single apple.

The messages are as follows.]



KING:
BEST
FRIEND
ARTHUR:
LOOKING
GOOD
OSOMATSU:
ONE OF
A KIND
ESTELLE:
BRIGHT
SPARK
MCBURN:
NEVER
MEANDER
JONATHAN:
DOUBLE
THE FUN
AMBROSINE:
QUEEN OF
MY HEART
CALEB:
HOT
KARMA:
YOU’RE
A DOLL
VITA:
TRUE
BLUE
BEAUTY
KURAMA:
FOXY
ERIC:
SEW NICE

I'd call what you had to look at "inhumane", but Lala Hagoromo wasn't human, was she?

Now, now, Hiyori. I’m not human, either.

Doesn't change how sad it is that she lost her chance to be happy... Oh, why don't you give them a good look at what you have there, Link?

[Link holds up the heart labeled "OUT OF / THIS WORLD". The hosts are visible behind the glass of their sterile observation room this time by the way.]

We made too many because we hoped all of you would finally join in on the fun by today... So, if you retire, culprit, you can eat this one!

[...Well, maybe the evidence will cause the Hosts to eat their words. BOOM. Burn........or...well, it doesn't matter. The clock is ticking.


The trial for the murder of Lala Hagoromo, The Chance, has begun.]

Did you cooperate with whoever killed Lala?

Might as well answer so everyone's not yelling at you for the entire trial.
cuteandinnocentpet: (kyuu kyuu <3)

[personal profile] cuteandinnocentpet 2020-02-15 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I had absolutely no reason to aid the culprit, so I didn't.
poorlovefool: (1)

[personal profile] poorlovefool 2020-02-15 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Did you see them!?

[did you ignore him boi, that's rude]
poorlovefool: (11)

[personal profile] poorlovefool 2020-02-15 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
So you just don't give a shit about any of this, huh?
cuteandinnocentpet: (kyuu...)

[personal profile] cuteandinnocentpet 2020-02-15 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
You're mistaken, Eric. Lala's death was a tragedy.
poorlovefool: (pain)

[personal profile] poorlovefool 2020-02-15 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
... At least there's that.

[he can believe everything else people are saying about how he only wants to make a contract but at this point he is willing to take it at face value out of spite.]
necroyalty: (I was working in the lab late one night)

[personal profile] necroyalty 2020-02-15 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Because you lost out on another potential pact.

I know how this works.
cuteandinnocentpet: (Default)

[personal profile] cuteandinnocentpet 2020-02-15 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not surprised you would understand.

Her potential was quite impressive, after all!
poorlovefool: (crossed)

[personal profile] poorlovefool 2020-02-15 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[...crackpot theory incoming, but]

It wasn't you who tried to heal her, was it?
cuteandinnocentpet: (kyuu?)

[personal profile] cuteandinnocentpet 2020-02-15 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
As a matter of fact, I did try to heal her.
necroyalty: (Default)

[personal profile] necroyalty 2020-02-15 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
With or without a contract involved?
cuteandinnocentpet: (kyuu...)

[personal profile] cuteandinnocentpet 2020-02-15 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
With, of course. It wouldn't be the first time.

relieable: he is dead to me (he came on my favorite pants)

[personal profile] relieable 2020-02-15 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Did you make the potion? Or use a potion?

[or do you have healing powers, goes unasked]

Of course it doesn't. Empathy is not a concept it truly understands. It does not experience emotions in the same way we do.

It's a very rational being. And empty rationality can be crueler than any malice.
poorlovefool: (slight glare)

[personal profile] poorlovefool 2020-02-15 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Eric looks taken aback at these statements, then EXTREMELY offended.]

I don't give a SHIT what you think about it's 'emotions.' Fuck you. Jesus christ.
byanyother_name: (Shhh)

[personal profile] byanyother_name 2020-02-15 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kurama just shrugs slightly. His voice is soft and has, ironically, very little emotion in it.]

Kyuubey is what it is and I doubt it will say I'm wrong. Its goal is positive but I disagree with its methods.
poorlovefool: (looking down)

[personal profile] poorlovefool 2020-02-15 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
And I disagree with you thinking emotions have anything to do with a person's character, but whatever. You should just stop talking before you dig yourself deeper.
otherworldlyking: (29)

[personal profile] otherworldlyking 2020-02-15 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... Hm ]

Then, Lala had just brought you along with her like she usually did and that's why you were with her?
otherworldlyking: (56)

[personal profile] otherworldlyking 2020-02-15 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Well, that being said, seeing as she was an ideal wish candidate... ]

Did you try anything to distract the killer when they attacked her?
cuteandinnocentpet: (kyuu~!)

[personal profile] cuteandinnocentpet 2020-02-15 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
There was very little time to react to the attack.
otherworldlyking: (39)

[personal profile] otherworldlyking 2020-02-15 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
...Was there a lot of noise from the culprit when they first attacked? Or was it quiet and sudden?
cuteandinnocentpet: (Default)

[personal profile] cuteandinnocentpet 2020-02-15 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
There was shouting, certainly.
