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.]

[He can touch it - it is still lightly bleeding, but consistent with the time he said it reopened.

Moriarty is going to fucking yelp, though.]

AAAAH! What in the devil are you doing?! Don't force it open, for god's sake!

[HELP HELP HE'S BEING ATTACKED]

[pegasinister]

[He swipes some blood from it onto his finger tips and wipes it on his cravat. Then sets to work untying it and putting it aside]

In case we need a comparison later. You understand, surely.

[He has no idea if Alastor or Val can make that level of detail on blood. But really it's as much intimidation as anything.]

[godspiousjasper]

...Hubert, if i didn't know any better, i'd say you were enjoying that.

[ Have some light chastising from Roland over here! He's trying to be helpful! ]

Are you alright, Moriarty??

[pegasinister]

Me? Certainly not. I don't have fun. Ever.

[hatesdeerstalkers]

Ah...it hurts so much....sob sob.

[He mimes crying, and yes he fucking says the sobs out loud.]

Such a vile man, taking my blood for whatever nefarious purposes he has planned...

[hatesdeerstalkers]

Did anyone tell you that you've a horrible bedside manner?

[He scowls at it, then sighs.]

I do, but that doesn't give me any less complaints! Honestly, Hubert - If I didn't like you, I'd have punched you for that!

[pegasinister]

And devolve this trial further? Please don't.

[hatesdeerstalkers]

As I said - I like you, therefore I will not be punching you.

[A hmph.]

God knows I wish for this trial to remain focused and catch the killer.
