SECOND TRIAL

Time's up, boys and girls. Please gather up your evidence and make your way to the vault door.

[ The process of heading to the elevator and crowding in remains the same as last week - Angel leads you all to the elevator car, then stays behind as you make your slow descent to the dome below. You might not even notice if you aren't paying attention, but... the cart is already less crowded than it was last week. You certainly won't be able to avoid noticing it if your numbers dwindle too much further than this.

When the doors open on the trial room, it's just as bleak a place as last week. ]


Take your places, won't you? And this time, you all know what's at stake. No more... funny business.

[The number of podiums displaying that red light is higher now - Damien, Lif, and Piers are all represented by blank spots now, no tasteful covers or anything normal to mark their passing, just a red glow and a gap in your number.

Cheery!

The screens raise up to the ceiling to give you all room to see, and the Professor's final words before the trial begins ring out: ]


Find the killer, leave alive. And killer? Try a little harder to stop them from doing that than the last one in your shoes. Call out for me if you require anything.

[ Welcome to your second trial. ]

We've been leaving handprints all over this place for the past three weeks. Is that really going to help anything even if you could've gotten it?

I'd need everyone's cooperation, but if everyone volunteered their fingerprints? I'd be able to tell you who touched it with 100 percent certainty.

Yes, but who hasn't used the prize machine?

While that is true, if the handprint was fresh enough that Della was able to see it with her naked eye, it's certainly worth investigating under the assumption that they were there close to the time of the incident.
emberserker: Eyes closed, preparing to fight. (just a moment)

Fine, that's possible. Still, I wouldn't put too much weight on it compared to everything else.

While it isn't damning, it is far-and-away my favorite part of the job...
