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

[not_a_lego_maniac]

I-I know.

[He's trying to be Smart, ok? He...he knows he's not good at Smart.]

But it means the most likely people who did this are...Aoi and Mr. Moriarty. Right? If we base it on injuries.

[pegasinister]

Alastor confirmed Aoi's injures happened after. Unless he was hiding one before their spar.

[not_a_lego_maniac]

...He lied to me about the poison. I...I can't put it past him he wouldn't lie about being hurt prior to that.

[pegasinister]

It's possible, certainly.

[He seems tense about this though. He doesn't like it]

[not_a_lego_maniac]

....


What if...what if this is all part of Zero's plan? Aoi's injured enough that...he can't come to trial. He can't come to trial, we...we can't accuse him. We can't accuse him, we have no choice but...but to vote wrong!!

[pegasinister]

...well, you can certainly ask Zero.

[not_a_lego_maniac]

I guess I could...

[He hates. All of this.]

[somuchshipping]

I can go get him.

[somuchshipping]

I'm still not 100% on this whole people feeling pain thing, but if Blue had a wound, wouldn't that hinder him from fighting? Alastor has a good number of injuries on himself.

[pegasinister]

Depends on his skill, but I've heard nothing about him being that trained.

[superstylishsquid]

I could always taste Moriarty's blood to be sure. Some humans, uh...taste better than others.

[pegasinister]

[He offers the cravat with the sample]

[superstylishsquid]

[Which he will taste! Is it noticeably different from the crime scene blood?]

[strangerpeople]

[Moriarty's blood does not taste like the blood that Alastor actually licked at the crime scene.



It's definitely yummy, though.]

[superstylishsquid]

[And the blood from the sample Hubert gave him earlier?]

[strangerpeople]

[Compared to the sample, Moriarty's blood is just as yummy!]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

....I can't help but feel this is something you've wanted to do for a while.

[superstylishsquid]

Sorry, but you kinda, well...smell delicious.

Just seemed a bit rude to bring it up.

[hatesdeerstalkers]

....Sadly, I'm flattered, but I have wed myself to Mathematics.

[SHIT EATING GRIN]

So unless you're fine with being a mistress on the side, I must decline.

[somuchshipping]

Mathematics, huh?

[superstylishsquid]

[...He just. Grins back.]

Well, it's not like I'm the jealous type.

[valkavian]

He's not half bad for a guy his age, honestly.

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[He looks at Zack.....and then sighs.]

Is this due to earlier, mister Zack?

[You know. The interrogation.]

Because I assure you it wasn't personal.

[not_a_lego_maniac]

Huh? But...Aoi wasn't there.




I mean, unless I didn't see him.
