THE THIRD TRIAL
(~SK. 17-18)


[When the investigation ends, the D O N G rings throughout the ship, followed by Zero's voice.]

It is time. Everyone, come to the theater. Time is...wasting.

[And so it is. The seating has once more changed to reflect the fallen-Moriarty and now Brain's podiums are draped in black. And, of course, there is no food-

The screens come up, and the mask of Zero appears, ever inscrutable. Their instructions are brief.]

Your Brain is gone, I'm afraid. Cut into pieces and cast aside...and someone here knows why. Now, it's time for you to discover the truth as well...if you can.


[The trial for the murder of Brain, the Blue, has begun.]

LADIES' CHECK

[yesorwoof]

Ladies' check time.

[Makima's got the big black coat to hang up. Did someone bring in Moriarty's cape. Now she's unbuttoning her usual white dress shirt. Nice.]

[exequte]

[Akane still has the cape, of course she brought it, it's been useful for this before.

She sighs as she adds it to the little privacy tent and shucks out of her dress again.

She may have gained a little bit of weight since the last check, what with Genuinely Trying To Keep Everyone At Least Half Fed, but she's not got any marks on her otherwise.

It's strange that this is beginning to feel routine.]

[yesorwoof]

Good.

[At least she hasn't entirely given up the sweater dress. It's something.]

[exequte]

[u can drag the sweater dresses from her cold dead hands SHE GETS CHILLY....]

[valkavian]

[ Yeah, yeah, she'll strip. She's got some bandages on her wrist, but that's probably from when she, yanno, slashed it open that one time during a meeting. ]

[yesorwoof]

This is getting pretty familiar.

[Makima is in white lingerie as usual. She has stayed clean on the outside this whole time. Hooray.]
