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.]

Knocked cold. But I don't think she damaged her spine! Stay back- if the others can't keep her back-

[He can't protect either of them as he is, goddessdamn him if they both get killed]

[godspiousjasper]

I can help if she manages to get free and tries to attack Akane again.

[ He's got his weapon out, standing near the both of them. ]

[pegasinister]

Thank you, Roland. I am... less than useless, right now.

[godspiousjasper]

You're welcome. This week has not been kind to you, so I understand.

[ Not eating/Barely eating for a week will do that to you. ]

[jinglebros]

I don't really have the choice to stay out of it, if she tries again.

[pegasinister]

[He glares... but in the end holds out his long blade to him, keeping the one Gai tossed him]

Very well then.

[jinglebros]

[ He takes it, not backing down because of the glare - if anything, he's exhilarated by it. ]

Thank you.
