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.]

Croix...

[That damned cynical, objective part of Joey was pretty sure of it by now, honestly, given how hard she'd been pushing Coco as a suspect, but.]

Thank you. I knew we could count on you.

...I'm sorry I kept it from you this long. I almost... I was going to get everyone killed...

[ ...And then, how could she go back to those smiling faces? ]

But you didn't. What you "might have done" isn't important. What you did is.

[She thinks of something.]

Hey, by the way, I got something out of the vending machine this week, and I'd been meaning to run it by you and Ursula.

[She carefully takes out the torn left half of this photo.]

It looks like Ursula's profile picture, and I thought to myself, "who would have a picture of Ursula with red hair?"

[ !!!!!!!! ]

W-where did you--oh... oh... that's the other half of our photograph!

Joey...

[ She'll take it and... Joey is getting a hug. ]

Thank you.
incrediblystressedout: (this is fine)

[Oh. Welp. This is slightly less confusing and awkward than her last hug, but here we go I guess.]

You're uh...you're welcome.

When this trial is over, you two sit down and talk about some of this stuff you keep yelling about at trials, okay? Me and Orion can be there if you need a counselor or something.
theirmagic: (Down.)

Sorry. I was yelling at her because... I was hoping she'd confess. I knew she was purposefully obfuscating the truth. Or at least... I suspected she was.
