—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?

[A pause, and then-]

That- that's true, that changes everything. If Bucky can vouch for him at that time, then he couldn't have killed Akeha.

But if he didn't kill Akeha, then who did?

[emptied]

Someone who didn't anticipate his death if the sardines were meant to frame him.

[notbymyside]

Well who else regularly carries sardines around?

[emptied]

You think Debeste-san took Akeha-san on, one-on-one?

[eusford]

[ why is this so funny to imagine ]

[notbymyside]

She would wipe the floor with him, so no.

[okidoke]

Yeah, seriously.

[unbested]

[ you guuuuuuuyyyys!!!!! ]

[okidoke]

[sorry sebastian it's the truth!!]

[unbested]

[ he knooooows ]

[emptied]

Then they were purposefully planted as a red herring.

[notbymyside]

I'm more questioning who would have been carrying them to plant them as a red herring.

[emptied]

I wonder that, too. But it's not like we can sniff their pockets for fish residue...?

[notbymyside]

I already fed Crowley twice this week, someone else needs to feed him to do a pocket sniff check.

[emptied]

How much will he need?

[eusford]

A healthy amount.

[ :) ]

[notbymyside]

Which is exactly why I can't do it again so soon.

[He does look kind of pale ngl]

[emptied]

[she would offer but also

their dead are back so will it be necessary.....]

[eusford]

[ let him get a snackie :/ ]

[unbested]

[ BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY IT ]

[eusford]

[ yes they do ]

[unbested]

[ ...



yeah she would destroy him in two seconds and he knows it ]

[emptied]

[getting destroyed by akeha would be an honor though]
