Week 5 - Trial

Week 5: Trial

      

Last time it was at dawn. Now it's at sunset. The Sergeant gave everyone plenty of time to investigate and gather evidence, and now that everyone entered the courtroom, he slammed his gavel.

"I can sense a few of you are feeling rather hostile. Remember you're in a courtroom, and you're being watched by everyone in town"

People's opinions of the visitors are already very low, but there's no need to feed them further with a brawl in the courtroom -- or so the Sergeant thinks. There are more podiums draped in black now. Five more people died, seventeen people are alive. How many will be left once the trial is over?

"This time we have three victims in total. Millium Orion, Cian Reikado, and Azura were the unfortunate victims last night, and now you shall debate and decide who is responsible for this.

These are your suspects. Vote for as many as you think are responsible for these crimes"

            

Let the trial begin.

I didn't -- [God, he's just so frustrated by this??] It wasn't me.

[And at this point he's realizing he's sounding like some godawful broken record on this, but....]

Someone else on this suspect list is good at forgery. People here know what my handwriting looks like.

[relieable]

...Have you made any enemies here? I mean. Aside from the rest of the town?

[marmoron]

[Oh he can think of at least one or two people who probably dislike him, but on that suspect list?]

Most of the people I spoke to regularly are dead.

[Doesn't manage deadpan there.]

My guess is that whoever did it thought I was an easy target for framing, rather than having a grudge against me. Obviously they don't know me well enough to know how I talk so... Franciscus, Ryouka or Bollin.

[unfashionably]

I think most people don't have a clear idea of who did it yet, but I don't see someone who ran into a fire being ruthless enough to call a kid to a roof to beat them up.

[marmoron]

[His expression does soften at that. Thanks Sting.]

Not my style, no.

[pursuitofdeath]

If someone had such a skill, would it be reflected in the information about them in the guestbook?

You would think it would have to be, yes?

[marmoron]

No.

[That's a quick response.]

The fact that I'm supposed to be able to call Black to me isn't on that guestbook either.

[pursuitofdeath]

Forgery is a rather particular skill though.

Although I do suppose we have someone with “espionage” listed among our suspects.
