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.]

I know better than to leave my house alone on a Thursday night, or Friday morning.

[that's why he immediately came to check on Karma during the investigation]

And what I can do is make blades appear out of my body when I'm on my own. [like Wolverine! he will show him, producing curved blades from his knuckles]

[comesaround]

Figured as much, but I had to get that out of the way. I'm the same in that regard. I can fight but i'm not stupid enough to just leave my place overnight.

[ There's definitely an impressed little whistle of appreciation and he then grins. ]

Interesting. Just thought i'd make sure to clear that up since there are gouges on the floor near the elevator and any weapon could have caused that. Wanted to rule you out.

[relieable]

..........Why were there gouges on the floor?

[there really was a fight that happened! a bad one]

[comesaround]

I'd assume from when Jonathan went after Vita's killer. It looked to me like there was a fight of some kind, and likely where he was killed, if the pool of blood in the hall is any indication.

[ He assumes it must have been serious for it to leave actual gouges in the floor. ]

[relieable]

Does anyone own a weapon strong enough to do that?

[poorlovefool]

They weren't just gouges, there were scratches too.

I'm wondering if it was caused by claws.

[relieable]

...Like from a big animal, huh?

[mmmmmmmmmm]

[poorlovefool]

Yeah. I mean, you already know what I think, but also... the scratches and gouges weren't even right next to the pool of blood. There wasn't any other sign of a struggle next to em'. So maybe that's where a whip caught the 'big animal' and they had to hold their ground.... or something like that.

[comesaround]

Hm... I'd guess maybe McBurn? People have been getting weapons from that vending thing and i'm sure I saw him with one not long ago.

[ Shrugs. Just tossing that out there. ]
