fourth trial

[airlockedmods]

[As the last of the evidence is gathered, the voice chimes in with a call to come down to the courtroom.

In the slowly swindling podium circle McBurn and Shadow's portraits have been added and the green in their scrolling names replaced with red.

Jamie and Bolton are waiting on their floating platform, back in black and ready for a trial. Jamie still looks tired and his posture is a little more slouched than usual but he's here and there's not much else they can ask of him right now. Bolton's put on his usual showman's attitude despite the dark circles under his eyes, and he spreads his arms to make the announcement.]

Welcome, Champions, to the courtroom. Eleven of you have entered, but - in the best case scenario - only ten of you will leave. You all know the drill by now: compile your evidence and figure out who the killer is. If you vote correctly, the culprit will be executed and the rest of you will be allowed to go back upstairs.

Remember, there is no time limit but I'd advise you to keep things interesting.

Just like that.

[ jane you're the worst actress she's ever seen ]

[cyan_maid]

[Just imagine if she were a killer, she'd be horrible at hiding it]

I'm not, I swear! I really did want to see your rabbits!!

[tasteslikesurvival]

Jane, you can stop now.

[You tried.]

[cyan_maid]

Stop what? I wasn't...I hadn't - !

[Why can't you guys be like Ricky and not call her out on this shit]

[tasteslikesurvival]

I think you know what.

[You suck at this.]

[cyan_maid]

[Aw fucksauce]

[voltrounds]

It's fine.

[Because they don't have the excuse of being painfully oblivious to being suspected, probably?]

[cyan_maid]

[SHE'S SORRY RICKY SHE DIDN'T LIKE DOING IT]

[bylight]

[Don't worry, you did well! :|b

Just stop while you're ahead.]

[cyan_maid]

[Too late all aboard the secondhand embarrassment train]

[bylight]

[Hey that's fine you're less of an embarrassment to mom than Kurumi is right now.]

[cyan_maid]

[Your daughters still have "being needled by Togami in this case" as common ground tho]

[bylight]

[Then do what mom does to people who piss her off: punch him.]

[imnotfat]

Next time go straight to the point instead of disguising your intentions in such transparent way.

[Who asked you, Togami.]

[cyan_maid]

- Oh, go eat a dick, Togami, nobody asked you!

[Damn she got prickly with you]

[refusedtoleave]

[Just ignore the choking noise, and the scandalized look over here.]

[cyan_maid]

[SORRY STRICT MOM]

[ratherdoweddings]

[stifling laughter]

[yukionna]

[ Starts clapping. Go Jane go. ]

[bylight]

[Someone looks very proud of you, Jane.]

[cyan_maid]

[If he goes on she might throw Kurumi's shoe at him]

[voltrounds]

[YES!]

[imnotfat]

Tch. How immature of you.

[cyan_maid]

[...oKAY

THAT IS IT

With a frustrated yell, Jane whips back Kurumi's shoe and, much like a dodgeball headed for a crude caricature of an empty-headed boy, it goes sailing for Togami's podium. Sorry, Kurumi, she'll give you her slippers later.

IF YOU CAN DODGE A SHOE YOU CAN DODGE A BALL]

[imnotfat]

[There goes that shoe, hitting the podium with a resounding sound. Togami doesn't seem fazed at all, but at least he doesn't seem like he's going to keep getting Jane angrier.

He has a strange feeling of satisfaction from all this, but he'll refrain from saying that]
