THE THIRD TRIAL

THE THIRD TRIAL


[It happens again, like clockwork. Once the final clues have happened, the elevator in the food court opens with a DING. It doesn't leave until everyone has gotten on, and the thought occurs to everyone that they shouldn't waste time.

An innocent man was ruthlessly murdered, after all. After everything that's happened.

Just as before, everyone who is still alive will find their favorite food and drink at their platform. And just as before, Akechi, Helena and Ren's platforms have now been lowered and covered with a white cloth, joining the increasing number of dead spaces in the trial area. Helena's platform, however, has an addition not present on any other deceased's platform: a single white lily, placed almost reverently on top.

Well. Whatever reason that lily is there, it shouldn't detract from the fact that there is a trial to be had here, once more. Its time to look at the evidence at hand, and to hopefully find whoever did this heinous crime.

So, it's time, Titled.

The trial for the murder of Ren Sanzashi, The Doorframe, has begun.]

... I suppose that's fair.

Well, in any event, our victim was clearly killed with poison from at least two differing sources, if what I found was any indication.

We found apple seeds, and also apricot seeds inside a pestle and mortar inside the cafe MYJL. We found tobacco flakes, as well... the other two found a few other things, so I'll let them go over it.

[ Croix looks... Incredibly uncomfortable. ]

...We found a fake nail.

[ Also looking very, very uncomfortable.

... But she doesn't have anything else to add. ]

A fake nail? Do any of us wear them?

...

[ Croix is silent a moment, but... ]

...I don't.

I don't. I don't believe Professor Croix does, either... they would get in the way of casting spells, honestly. Or making potions.

So...the fake nail was planted?
byanyother_name: (Plots and plans.)

[personal profile] byanyother_name 2017-12-16 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
But why plant evidence that points nowhere? Meridies-san, what did the nail look like?

It was...

[ ...She clearly doesn't want to say it! ]

...It was light blue.

[ Technically powder blue. ]

[ So you see why she didn't want to mention it, huh? ]
byanyother_name: (Just looking)

[He kind of does, yes.]

For the record, I don't either. That's all three living girls...
