—THE SECOND TRIAL—

Once again, at 9 AM sharp, a familiar bell tolls to alert the hour. You've become familiar with the flow of things, haven't you? You know what tod o — find your answers before the final ring chimes. Even if you try to avoid it, eventually your legs will bring you towards where you know you'll have to be. The courtroom doors swing open, welcoming.

Come by again, and it looks just like last week. Take your seat on any one you wish, and peruse the table lined with (non-alcoholic) refreshments and snacks. The same sign, promising a lunch break. And of course, your observers, sitting by the jury's seat shuffling about a stack of papers. Ask your questions and they will answer.

The judge's seat shows the same message as it has always done: "GRANT WE THINE JUDGMENT — ABSOLVE THEE THINE GUILT," and the same, strange, incorporeal form stays seated at the high seat, hand resting unto a gavel's handle.

"Today we will be investigating the cases of: Akeha, Valvatorez, and Vicious. Court is now in session."

The same blue, translucent field prevents you from leaving freely once you're in. You know the drill, don't you?

[ He retrieves one, very lightweight chrome screw.

There appears to be nothing on the bottom of his shoes! ]

[notbymyside]

[He pockets the screw and inspects the screwhole. Anything odd there?

Also there was mud at the markets when Ango and Crowley found Val, so Ango is looking for any sign of dirt or mud on Val's body.]

[adjourn]

[ Nothing odd in the screwhole, aside from that screw that you'd just removed.

No mud on Val, but there is a bit of wetness around his face? ]

[notbymyside]

[Wetness...well, they did find Val near the fountain. How much wetness is on his face exactly? Is it "got dunked in the fountain" levels, or less?]

[adjourn]

[ He has not been waterboarded. It's just a couple of wet spots and smears. It is clear in colour so not blood. ]

[notbymyside]

[Time to touch the clear stuff just to make sure it's actually water and not hair gel or something.]

[adjourn]

[ It's half-dried, but yes the texture would be more or less water! It definitely is not hair gel. ]

[notbymyside]

[Nice.

He'll do one last quick look to make sure he didn't miss anything obvious before he'll be done for now.]

[adjourn]

[ Looks like Ango has done an overall check of everything! ]

[notbymyside]

[Nice, he'll go report evidence now.
