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.]

Maybe? Haven't looked around in the weapons storage too much. I don't think there would be though. I just figured it was a meat thermometer or something.

[incendiarize]

Yeah, it's heat-sensitive, but I dunno why anyone would use a poison metal with food. Even if just a little isn't gonna hurt, it just doesn't seem like a good idea.

[Mercury thermometers died with the Old World okay.]

[relieable]

I was just thinking it could've come from the bat, but... I dunno enough about lasers to know if mercury would be in it.

[incendiarize]

Mm...probably as a compound or vapor, if at all, but we're looking at drips of it, right?

[relieable]

[he nods]

Yeah... I just dunno how else it could've gotten there.

[unwittingking]

The best I've got...maybe they wanted something that didn't point to them? You'd have to know which berries you're using, and I think most people on the suspect list don't know how they work.

[At least he knows he doesn't.]

[incendiarize]

The berries were Vita's though....you think maybe she was gonna use the quicksilver to throw us off?

[unwittingking]

Maybe? You have to get away with it if you want the motive this time. She might not have wanted to, but she might've tried something if she didn't want to get caught.

[He's not happy about the possibility, but he can't deny it.]
