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.]

Chariot! Chariot...!

[ Croix isn't a strong person. It's a miracle she holds on to her like she does. Perhaps it's just pure determination. She'll catch her when she falls. And hold onto her tightly. ]

Someone, please, help me get her out of here...!

[incrediblystressedout]

[Joey will head over, wordlessly, to help with that. She's not exactly SO STRONG, but she can help. She wants to help, if only to put a hand on Ursula and try to help her calm down.]

[ He's not going to say anything before simply reaching down and lifting Ursula as though she's made of paper, his eyes moving to Croix's face.

Where to, Croix? ]

[scienceofmagic]

Let's just get her out of here, for now. Depending, I have a few things I need to share with you all. Either her room or the food court.

[beguiledcard]

All right.

[ He cradles Ursula with care, and then proceeds to take her to the food court because she looks like she could use something cold... ]

Hey, Joey?

[ Glancing to said person. ]

[incrediblystressedout]

Yeah, Akira?

[Just. Shooshing Ursula and sticking close to both Witches.]

[beguiledcard]

[ His gaze softens as he asks. ]

Do you mind grabbing me a damp washcloth? I'm taking her to the cat cafe.

[ Once he's inside said cafe, he'll be setting her down gently. ]

[incrediblystressedout]

...good idea. I might have to improvise for the cloth, but I'll be right back.

[She'll split off some time between Croix's phone call and reaching the café, but she'll catch up eventually.]

[beguiledcard]

[ He nods at her when she returns, offering an attempted smile. ]

Thanks.

[ And he'll be placing the cloth against Ursula's forehead... ]
