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. ]

I found this in, um...the top of the toilet?

[Rose holds up what is, by now, a slightly less soaking wet tuxedo jacket.]

There wasn't any blood in the water or anything like that. But it's small, too...

[Like the handprint.]
ladygeryon: (seriously?)

[A groan] I guess we need to compare sizes, then... [Why does it have to be wet]
lovelikeyou: (🌸 onstage)

[She kinda tried to wring it out, but it was well and truly dunked.]

We can do that! It's just a little bit wet...should we pass it around?

[obviously she feels no need to try and squeeze into the thing herself]

[A sigh as she buries her face in her hands.] Actually... [She glances over at Aria and Slade.] Maybe we can first see if they can get any scents off it.
lovelikeyou: (🌸 oh yes!)

[personal profile] lovelikeyou 2020-04-25 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! That's a good idea!

[Rose doesn't know enough about scents to question whether the water would be an issue, she'll just bring it over.]
ladygeryon: (intense stare)

Mods!

[She recalled Slade, so Aria will lean in to sniff. Any scents other than water she can get off it?]

[Aria wrinkles her nose, but glances up at Nira and tilts her head in a somewhat diagonal motion.]

Hm? No specific smells, but there's still something you can check for? [Another headtilt.] It's worth a try, I guess.

[Aria nods, and starts circling the room, sniffing at everyone to check them for soap scent.]
