THE SECOND TRIAL
(~SK. 10-11)


[Once the investigation wraps up, Zero's voice emanates once more throughout the Gigantic. The doors to the theater on both the C Deck and D Deck open as he speaks. And yes, when people come in through the C Deck Doors, they will find they can access the lower level from the stairs.

Yay?]

It is time. Come to the theater.

I wouldn't worry about bringing blankets.

[And indeed, when the Strangers come into the theater, they will find that the room is considerably warmer compared to the rest of the ship. There are also changes to the podiums-John, Anya and Kaito's places are all draped in black.

The screens schlllorrrp back in, with Zero's face appearing after a moment of static.]

Of course I am here for any questions. But I believe you know how this goes, so I suggest you begin. Justice delayed is...justice denied.

[The trial for Kaito Momota, The High King, has begun.]

Yes, so named as it being the hand someone was holding when shot in America's Wild West period - a very famous incident that caused that gathering of cards to be called that from then on.

[He sighs, unamused.]

It would be an intense spot of luck for such a hand to show up in play - especially on that night.

[pegasinister]

So we must assume it was set up.

Either our culprit or our fabricator certainly has a flair for the dramatic.

[hatesdeerstalkers]

That would be the assumption, yes. Though we've no shortage of dramatic people here - myself included, of course!

[Moriarty knows he's a goddamn ham, man.]

[somuchshipping]

1 in 730,000! And all without dice rolls determining the cards drawn!

[yesorwoof]

Though Zero has a bit of fondness for fate. Hmmm...
