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.]

Comments

[exequte]

I... um....

[Akane hesitates.]

W-would it be better if... um... everyone could see us too...?

[She is blushing with more than just a fever and feels exceptionally awkward about this, but there's less women here now anyway, and if that means less eyes....

She'd be willing to do it for the sake of the Truth.]

[yesorwoof]

I admit that I may be a poor choice of examiner because I'm under scrutiny. Maybe there's some other way I can make it easier for you.

[exequte]

[A sigh.]

It's... okay. I... I want to trust you....

[As before, though, she will be wiggling out of her dress, though this time she also presents her shoes for inspection. She has no injuries, though she does start to shiver quite quickly after most of her skin is exposed to the air, still too warm.]
