FOURTH TRIAL

Alright, that's quite enough time. Move along towards the trial, if you would all be so kind. You know what's coming.

[ It's routine by now - go to the vault door, get let into the elevator by Angel, head down to the trial room... it's hard not to notice the losses on the ride down by now, though. Your numbers are starting to really dwindle, even if you're often spread out enough not to notice as much normally. The trial room and its podiums, too, seem more than ready and willing to remind you of the same. The red glow of the empty spaces is constant, potentially unnerving. ]

Remember that as there are two victims to consider, up to two votes may be counted at the end of proceedings. As always, I am but a direct address away, however rude you choose to make it.

Find the party or parties responsible for the deaths of your comrades. And to those parties: Good luck.


[ The screens rise!

Welcome to your fourth trial. ]

Shelley was killed in one hit, probably with the dagger, and then posed respectfully, which speaks of whomever did this as having a conscience. Ema was killed and then thrown in a shark tank, which speaks of the opposite.

Why not just dispose of both bodies, if you killed both of them? Why pose one of them and then destroy the other? Why use two different weapons to kill them, for that matter - wouldn't Ema have also gone down in one hit and been posed accordingly?

The...question we had was why dispose of her body that way in the first place? And, the conclusion drawn was something that could incriminate someone. Like a vampire bite. But, leaving that aside... Not making any assumptions, since we couldn't tell.

That's...a definitely inconsistency. Like, cleaning up one scene and leaving the other. Except...even then, we still have where Ema presumably was attacked-- no, no. One thing at a time.

We don't know what weapon killed Ema, though. The axe--Rhea says it looks like...like it hit something harder. The dagger could have been used to kill both of them. ...But then, why was there so much blood? If...even with the shark attack, we could've seen some kind of wound, that'd leave that much blood.

[ Her mind's racing, honestly. Really, she has no conclusions, just...a lot of conjecture. ]

[...You know.]

Vincent. Can I ask you about something, while we're all throwing conjecture around?

Yes, you may.

Your hand. Arm. Thing.

What's it made of?

[personal profile] valentinus 2020-05-09 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
...It's metal. Why?

Can I look it over?

[ He'll pause, but then hesitantly hold out his metal hand to him for examination, though he's watching him carefully. ]

I know we just did this, and I know this is stupid. I get it.

[He's actually going to check for any scratches or damage to the metal, anything that might seem more recent. Also checking for any visible signs of blood in areas that might be more difficult to get at - joints and the like.

...He's not going to fuck up your hand, he gets liking one's hands.]

...it's simply because we're running out of ideas, then.

[ For all of the blond's efforts, he will find that there's nothing left blemished or damaged. And there's no blood either, so he's all clear. ]

More like I want to be thorough, and I have ideas but I'm not going to throw them out there without ruling everything else out. But yeah.
