Attention, Strangers. It's time for the trial now.

Please bring whatever you see fit and not anything against the rules.

[And so it is, that the Strangers must come once more to the elevators, to the room where the force field sits and their podiums wait. Three more people are now Xed out, as if they never existed.

Once everyone is in place, five podiums light up red.]

THE BRITTLE	THE DISCORD	THE ENEMY	THE FORLORN
				THE JOVIAN

Once again, two bodies have been discovered. It sure is tragic. Please remember to vote accordingly.

[There is no hesitation, no pause, before the clock begins, and the ticking echoes through the chamber. The evidence is there for the remaining Strangers to see, and organize. Voting must happen to ensure justice. What else is there to say, then?

The trial for the murders of Vita Clotilde-Morris, the Bad Luck, and Jonathan Morris, the Double, has begun.]

Alright! If the wound check doesn't turn up anything, that's next.

Looks like there's no head wounds so far. Could be the whip didn't hit someone deep enough to cause a mark, but was just enough to pull out hair.

Might as well take a look now.

Alright. Hey, Estelle! [He'll just call her since she was over there petting all the heads. Now she can pet a whip! No euphemisms!]

Would you see if this feels like any of their hair?

[carryabigstick]

Sure!

[She'll take the sample and twiddle it between her fingers. Does it feels more like human hair or the fur like she felt on King and Frumpkin?]

[strangerpeople]

[It feels a little more like fur.]

[carryabigstick]

Based on King and Frumpkin compared to all the suspects hair, this definitely feels a bit more like fur.

[poorlovefool]

Heh. Whaddya know.
