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.

[Franciscus has been gripping his podium, breathing slowly ever since Natalie smelled paint on Olympia. He lifts his head at last.]

None of you...none of you attack her. You'll get hurt, or punished.

[A cold smile starts to form on his face.]

...it's right there on my guestbook profile, you know. Deception. I'm a liar. I put on false faces and speak falsehoods as easily as I breathe. But I swear, right now, all these are true.

I never intended to kill Millium Orion.

Gerard did not kill Azura.

I never raised a kitchen knife against Azura.

Hydrangea did nothing to harm Azura.

I am the only person here who could kill Olympia without further consequences.

[Now, let us begin this evening's game.]

[streetwolf]

[What...



...No really what]

[silvertongueheir]

[Look, it's not his fault ryukishi07 didn't put any red truth logic puzzles in your game.]

[streetwolf]

[Well you see that actually involves murders being solved. Which uh doesn't happen.]

...Are you fucking serious right now?

[pursuitofdeath]

That would be entirely correct, perhaps... if I cared about the consequences of killing her.

[silvertongueheir]

Ah, but do you have the ability to finish her here?

[pursuitofdeath]

Would you like to test it? My ability, that is?

[tuffguy]

Um...

What is going on now?

[silvertongueheir]

...Millium was my friend. And I would rather not see any of her other friends go running to their deaths.

[tuffguy]

[ stares him down and nods ]

Did you think it would come to this?

[quickpersuader]

...So did you raise a rock to Miss Azura, then?

[silvertongueheir]

The rock happened to be right there. She shouldn't have been walking around barefoot.

[relieable]

[please. do not]

Why are you the only person who can kill Olympia? [she's... a robot, right?]

[silvertongueheir]

I admit, I don't know if I have the capability. But I won't gain the consequence of being labeled a murderer.

[clearities]

[...]

Did you lie to me, then? All those times?

[silvertongueheir]

[...]

Only when I said that I wouldn't be willing to kill for you. Perhaps a few lies about how easily I believed we would get out of here.

[goturshit]

[ and, after a lot of radio silence from her podium: ]

Oh, fuck off, seriously?

[silvertongueheir]

I am sorry I used you as an alibi.

But last night was truly enjoyable for me.

[odasaku]

I knew rich policemen couldn’t be trusted.

[ a shrug ]

Too bad I don’t care about what you say.

[pursuitofdeath]

[silvertongueheir]

[Understandable have a nice day]

[pecker]

[This stuff about him being a ~liar~ seems to interest her a bit.]

Really? You're making this so easy for us now... do you want to kill Olympia-san that badly?

[silvertongueheir]

This way, no one but us murderers has to get hurt, after all.

[protectandselfserve]

Well, I suppose we can just let you both into the execution pit and take care of whoever's left, then.

[silvertongueheir]

Sure. [He laughs a half-laugh at that.]
