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.]

HOST TOP FOR YOUR HOST TOP NEEDS

[About an hour into the trial, you can see a platter of sandwiches in front of Link and Hiyori: eight clean right triangles on crustless white bread, four each of ham-n-cheese and egg salad. Hiyori takes a bite out one of the latter. Mmmmmm!!!!! Delicious!!!!!!!!]

Whoever eats any of the company food at the trial this time, can get a free sandwich the next time we meet! Let's give a big hand to Link for making these!!!!

[Apparently the mayonnaise in all these sandwiches is a gray paste.]

[Hey Hiyori and Link, right at the start of the trial when they say what day it is, Vita is going to flip the bird at them as in the hand gesture. She's not going to be mean to Grianos who is here even if the paw prints were clearly not his.]

[ He'll just yawn... ]

...Whatever.
mermaidkin: (Respect)

[personal profile] mermaidkin 2020-02-15 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Not even Hiyori's eyes twitch in Vita's direction when this movement occurs in his field of vision.]

[ ...Well this sure was happening again. ]

What a pain, going through this again.

There's no way I killed her!!

[This is just making her sad. She's the last one of their group. She likes the others but-- two weeks in a row of watching old friends go is pretty painful.]

After we fought so hard to save her... there's no way.

[But she's a suspect so if you want to ask her anything she's. Here.]

[personal profile] poorlovefool 2020-02-15 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
What the fuck... Do any of you guys even have pets??

[I mean, he's pleasantly surprised he, Caleb and King are all off this list, but this just makes the evidence more confusing.

Maybe he didn't need to bring all these clean-pawed cats and dogs and aliens after all...]

relieable: (my grandkids felt that fuck)

[personal profile] relieable 2020-02-15 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[hm. that's sure him on the suspect's list. and he sure is next to an xed-out podium. Osomatsu sighs then pats the pokéball at his hip, maybe asking it to be a good luck charm today. anyway, he sets the medieval-looking alembic on his podium as evidence]

Okay. I looked at the laboratory and the room next to it. [he doesn't remember what the conservatex is called] When I first walked in there, I noticed that the plants had been picked at. Like, someone was picking their leaves, and stuff. I submitted pictures for the ones I didn't know, but I at least recognized the wheat.

After that, I found... This thing. [gestures to the alembic] It stood out because it had some liquid in it. I'm not sure what it's used for, or what the liquid is.

[ask questions, he supposes]
poorlovefool: (pit hug)

[personal profile] poorlovefool 2020-02-15 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
If it's a potion with wheat in it, they must have been making healing ones. I remember that one pretty well.

[because it's this potion's fault Papyrus brought all that wheat that he wound up turning into terrible bread.]

You do need to eat something to keep your strength up to fight! I won't push the issue, but if you ever want to trade diet tips, just let us know, okay.
relieable: sums up our friendship pretty well (the strip club incident)

[personal profile] relieable 2020-02-15 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
You can make healing potions with wheat?

[and yet no one can make gold]
carryabigstick: (pic#13724153)

[personal profile] carryabigstick 2020-02-15 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope. I've never had a pet, even back home.

[...]

...unless you count the time my dad brought a boy home.

[Don't ask. Joshua's status in her life is a mystery.]
otherworldlyking: (17)

[personal profile] otherworldlyking 2020-02-15 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That sure was a list. It was kind of ironic seeing someone like Estelle up on there. ]

Friends, or something like that?
otherworldlyking: (30)

[personal profile] otherworldlyking 2020-02-15 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah.
unwittingking: (come on)

[personal profile] unwittingking 2020-02-15 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
['And this is why I brought food from the vending machine,' King thinks, as he looks Hiyori in the eyes while crushing the candy heart.

He does not give a shit.]
poorlovefool: (pleased)

[personal profile] poorlovefool 2020-02-15 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
And a bunch of other ingredients, but they would have been in the conservatex. I don't think anyone got rid of the stuff that wasn't dangerous or poisonous. Still, it's a pretty wheaty potion.
byanyother_name: (Shhh)

[personal profile] byanyother_name 2020-02-15 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kurama is, surprise surprise, still not breathing as he walks in and takes his place. He's quiet and distant, though there are soft beeps as he takes care of Akira's Tamagotchi.

The candy heart barely gets more than a glance.]

I don't think Joshua would count as a pet even if he would look cute as a catgirl.
carryabigstick: (pic#13724152)

[personal profile] carryabigstick 2020-02-15 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. She's the last person here I knew before I showed up here.

The truth is... she was the person they just decided was responsible for the "murder" we witnessed before that wasn't even a freaking murder at all. But we fought really hard to protect her because it was absolute crap.

There's no way I'd kill her.
unwittingking: (Huh?)

[personal profile] unwittingking 2020-02-15 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[King doesn't answer at first, as a cat rubs against Eric's legs after he says that, before giving a small 'meow'.]

I, uh...have one, I think.

[It's still weird to think about.]
poorlovefool: (6)

[personal profile] poorlovefool 2020-02-15 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Only if you taught him to fetch.
relieable: ...dedication (chasing bourbon with pepto)

[personal profile] relieable 2020-02-15 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[interesting. he rubs his chin]

I did smell the liquid. And there was a wheat-y scent. You think someone was trying to heal Lala?
mermaidkin: (Reminiscence)

[personal profile] mermaidkin 2020-02-15 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Awwwwwwwwww...

[Heart BROKEN!!! Boo!!!]

We thought you'd like a couple extra options! That individuality stuff you keep complaining about losing!

You can call and give feedback any time.
katzenpfote: (Default)

[personal profile] katzenpfote 2020-02-15 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
You can, I made some before. I did my best to hide the dangerous ingredients.
otherworldlyking: (o8)

[personal profile] otherworldlyking 2020-02-15 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah. I don't take diet tips.

[ He couldn't be bothered to do that. ]

And if the food didn't taste like sand, it might've been actually worth trying to eat.
