TRIAL TWO

[mayorityvote]

TRIAL

Once again, the investigations conclude -- though they're more ponderous this time, burdened by the number and knowledge of additional deaths, and the awareness that there's limited means of dealing with them -- and once again the ducks gather everyone at the back of the JojaMart along with Makima's wagon, Adela's quiet, the pile of evidence.

Everyone trundles into the loading bay, which isn't all that much livelier than before, penned in by stacks of shelves and crating; but at least it's functional, overly well-lit and there's tea to while away the time discussing murders and mayhem.

As the loading bay door slides closed, you're left with a wagonful of evidence, a double handful of murders and the knowledge that time is ticking down -- for everyone.

(( OOC: Welcome to trial: the sequel! You'll have 7 hours (until 8 PM EST/5 PM PST) to vote one (1) person guilty of murder. As this is scapegoat style, a correct vote is not necessary. Please remember to vote unless otherwise discussed with the mods, as that is our AC for this game. ))

[Beelzebub, seated comfortably with the blankets and pillows (thanks Baldr and duckies), is awake now, but no more talkative.

He just seems to be glaring at the bodies, harrowed.

Still, you can ask your questions if you’ve got them.]

[theotherww]

You were injured in the blacksmith, right?

You do realize that makes you suspect number one for killing Amy and Beatrice.

[driftingknight]

Walter-san.

[Like, not that he isn't suspicious too, but! There is such a thing as tact!]

[theotherww]

What? It's pointless to waste our time by tip-toeing around the issue.

[sorathvau]

[As he begins to piece everything together, he can recognise this, but…]

She liked to be called Bibi. Not Beatrice.

[theotherww]

Did she now? She never corrected me on that.

But that's not relevant right now. What's relevant is how you ended up bleeding out near her corpse.

[linearcrash]

Come on. You don't seriously think he would be stupid enough to be seen with them before and after it if he did it, right? He's a nerd. They usually try to implicate someone else or cover their tracks.

[theotherww]

If we go by Occam's razor, he's the simplest answer. So our best bet is to start by proving whether or not that's the truth.

[linearcrash]

[ hewwo ]

Hey, where the hell did you go?

[sorathvau]

I didn’t…go anywhere.

[linearcrash]

The hell? Did someone just move you in your sleep?

[hyperbloom]

[ She looks at him tiredly and asks: ]

Do you remember anything from last night, like how you ended up at the blacksmith?

[sorathvau]

I remember being with everyone at the farm.

[That’s it.]

[hyperbloom]

And the rest is a blur...?

[moonblades]

I'm sorry I wasn't there.

[Erika was right, but Mio still has to say it.]

Did you guys have anything with you in the farmhouse? Any tools or food?

[sorathvau]

Don’t be. You…might’ve been hurt too.

[And suddenly he gives a shit about that!!]

We’d had dinner, and the same tools as we always had. Nothing had changed.

[moonblades]

[The first part doesn't get a response, but she seems to be dwelling on it a lot. She really is just helpless, isn't she?

But, facts first.]

That means someone took the shears some other time. Either they brought them into the house or someone picked them up on the way out.

[revelate]

How are you feeling?

[it's always "what the fuck did you do," never "how the fuck are you,"]

[sorathvau]

[Beelzebub laughs, dry.]

My friends are dead.

[provocatives]

Seems you left yourself quite vulnerable this morning. What is the extent of your injuries?

[sorathvau]

[He says that like he had a choice in the matter…]

It seems I’ve been hit on the head.

[…]

That’s about it.

check-a-beel

[linearcrash]

[ Anyways, he's going to be back over to the nerd nest ]

Hey, would it be cool if I looked you over? Just making sure you weren't hit any where else that you might not be aware of, you know?

[sorathvau]

[The nerd nest…]

…Do whatever you have to.

[liberazoth]

[ okay they've established he's not actually that hurt outside of head injury but

there was blood on him when they found him at the smith. what is. the pattern of blood on him. where is the blood on. what part of his clothing/body.

and if vayne enters his mind palace, was there like, any sort of blood trail or drippings or anything between where beel was at the door, and where the rest of the mess was over near bibi? ]

[mayorityvote]

[ Vayne enters his mind palace...!!

The blood on Beel was on his chest area, in splotches.

There is no trail between Beel's door placement and Bibi's final resting ground. ]
