Week 4 - Trial

Week 4: Trial

It's dawn when the Sergeant calls everyone to the courtroom. Despite the early hour, the tribunes of the room are as full as the last two times, sleepy townspeople glaring and looking at the visitors with distrust. The Sergeant told everyone to get to their spots. Anyone who looks behind them, will see the bailiffs carrying Sting Eucliffe away, who is trying to resist them but doesn't seem to have enough strength to do that well.

"Don't worry about him. That guy ate a lot of ice and frost for reasons I don't understand, and now he has a very bad cold. I don't want him making everyone in this room sick, so he's excused. No, that's not a hint all of you should get sick to avoid these trials."

There are more podiums draped in black now. Clarisse, Eric Lecarde, and Jughead Jones have joined the dead, and their podiums look lonely without their occupants.

With a twirl of the gavel, the Sergeant recites:

"Today the trial will focus on solving the murder of..."

He takes a PDA out of his pocket, and holds it in the air. The PDA's text-to-voice software says: 'Forsythe'

"...Pendleton Jones the Third. The circumstances need no introduction, we all are aware of them. Here are your suspects"

            
Once everyone had a moment to see the faces in the photos, the Sergeant adds:

"By the way, there are two separate culprits today. Yes, two of these five people directly caused Jughead's death. When it's time to vote, remember to vote for two different people."

Let the trial begin.

HAND CHECK

[silvertongueheir]

We might as well get this done first. Suspects, let me see your hands. [Franciscus will check them both to see if they match the size of the handprints he found and if there's any hint of frostbite or other signs of touching ice on them.]

[odasaku]

[ oda will show his hands! he’s got no frostbite, that’s for sure. ]

[quickpersuader]

[Kino obligingly shows Fanciscus their hands: they're clean, and there are no signs of frostbite or ice.]

[pursuitofdeath]

[Fine, fine. Hands! The bottom of his palm is where his bandages start, but the majority is free and clear of obstruction. There doesn't appear to be any signs of frostbite at least.]

[Kino, Rose, and possibly Dazai's hands look like they could fit]
