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.]

Our biggest obstacle is going to be rule 10. We can't interfere with the execution.

[Joey has been texting this whole time like an asshole, but she puts her phone down.]

Alright guys. I confirmed the boss can see us, and we don't have a whole lot of time before this trial just gets called and we all get executed anyway.

Personally, I want to know what we can do to break the execution without hurting Nyaf-ya. Any ideas?

IT'S WORTH A GODDAMN TRY

[personal profile] scienceofmagic 2017-12-17 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
Mm, ultimately, Rule ten only applies to the execution. So to not all get killed for interfering with an execution, we have to find a way to not even reach that phase of this.

[ Meaning they're short on time. ]

...

[ I mean there's one last thing she could try. She can't stop the trial... But the only other power she had was opening the bedroom doors... Sure, she couldn't open any other barriers, but maybe... Can she at least get them out of the trial room? ]

Dammit...! I have to be able to do something!

[ I mean at this point she's almost ready to grab the plastic Shiny Rod and pray it'll turn into an actual miracle. ]

What's the point of even having a titled like The Chance when I can't do anything!?

[personal profile] incrediblystressedout 2017-12-17 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Croix. It's okay. I don't think any of us is going to solve this on our own.

That's why we can partner up our powers, don't you think?

What powers!? All I get is money each week, Joey!

[ HOW IS... SHE SUPPOSED TO HELP???

Legit no really. ]

Maybe if you partner up, that could change?

[ He sighs, shaking his head in slight frustration. ]

It's worth a shot, right?

[personal profile] scienceofmagic 2017-12-17 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
...Try to see if my luck hasn't run out, huh?

[ She'll look down at her phone again. At a photo of a bunch of smiling girls. ]

...Well. Guess it's time to see if a miracle happens.

[ He offers her a look of pure determination. ]

You know... where I'm from, they call me a wildcard.

[ A small, nostalgic smile. ]

Let's see if we can all be wildcards, today.

If you've seen me rant about Aspects making no sense you'll laugh at this

[personal profile] incrediblystressedout 2017-12-17 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Well...we don't know how it actually works, but it seems to be based on being emotionally close to someone. You and Ursula have been together longer than any other pair of us.

And besides, it can't just be money, right? Wouldn't Fortune make a lot more sense given the name?

[personal profile] scienceofmagic 2017-12-17 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
...Are you saying me and Ursula might make a miracle happen partnered up?

Croix...

[ ... She exhales. ]

We have to try. Honestly, my heart is racing... and my head is spinning from all this... but if we work together, I think we can do anything. Believing in yourself.. is our magic.

[ She extends her hand; she's come over to her podium. ]
scienceofmagic: (pic#11896164)

IDK WOULD ANYTHING HAPPEN ON THIS ONE???

[personal profile] scienceofmagic 2017-12-17 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ Extend your hand. ]

Chariot...

[ Your story is about to begin. ]

...Yeah.

[ And then she takes Chariot's hand. ]

I'm not going to forget this time!
incrediblystressedout: (no pistols and a wink)

[personal profile] incrediblystressedout 2017-12-17 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
You already helped a miracle happen today. Let's go for another.

[She's getting this cheesy because she's probably about to die, but that's an oddly freeing feeling.]
