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.]

[Hermes fidgets in place.]

WhatWasn'tSupposedTo BeLikeThis!?

[Hermes is kind of freaking out right now WHAT IS GOING ON HALP-]

[valkavian]

[ SORRY, SHE'S KIND OF A MESS RIGHT NOW. ]

Was it meant to look like someone tried to make a midnight snack out of Brain's leg?

[yesorwoof]

There was no blood on the arms. Not even the slightest amount that leaked out when Alastor-kun pricked it with the sword.

[Makima's hands are in her pockets now.]

[superstylishsquid]

There was blood in the veins, but not anywhere else but the sword...

[valkavian]

God I wasn't trying to frame you, but the way y'all overthink everything? My GOD.

[superstylishsquid]

Well, considering I admitted on the day of the motive that I'm willing to eat the Soylent Green, 's not too hard to wonder who might have been cooking body parts.
