WEEK 3; TRIAL

[killerwaves]

TRIAL

Like last week, the kitty bots herd everyone over to the sandbar once the time for investigation has concluded. At the least, this little piece of your personal hells has emerged unscathed in all the wreckage. Unlike last week, Overhaul and Shigaraki are already there waiting for you, the former looking about as grouchy as a mask can get and the latter looking pretty amused.

Off to the side in a booth of its own is the body as well as attendant kittybots; apparently it’s messy enough this time to require some clearance, but it’s still close enough for the admins to oversee.

This murder sure was something, even for your masterminds. Theorize and/or judge about who could have done such a thing and get a snack from your local kitty bots if you get hungry—the theme is italian today, with pizza, mozzarella sticks, stuffed meatballs and the like.

(( OOC: Welcome to your second trial! You'll have 7 hours (8PM EST/5PM PST) to find the killer and send them off their death, if you believe in justice at least. Since this is scapegoat style, finding the correct killer is not mandatory!

Please remember to vote before then unless you've spoken to a mod, as votes are our stand-in for AC. ))

... Did you find the heart?

[Did anybody...find the heart?]

[dancing_flames]

No, I didn't. It wasn't anywhere near his body.

[finalmix]

... Did someone eat the heart?

[ DISGUST. ]

The organic tissue on the knife didn't match the heart?

[dancing_flames]

That I don't know. I'm a soldier, not a scientist.

[finalmix]

Did you at least get a picture so that we can ask someone who is?

[ not josh, obviously, but they have a group here! ]

[dancing_flames]

Waltaquin should have the actual knife with her if you want to check.

[idologue]

[ She's not saying anything, but the notion of eating the hard makes her look extremely displeased. ]

[necrotiem]

[Gruesome.]

I couldn't have told you where precisely the viscera came from, but given the missing heart, that it was a match is our best guess to go off of for now.

[gluttoning]

[...]

I could check, if we need it. But he doesn't have any other stab wounds on his body.

[AKA maybe let's not desecrate the remains of the dead with Beel's tastebuds.]

[finalmix]

[ stares into the sun because i'm here to bring attention to beel absolutely desecrating the remains of the dead with his tastebuds: ]

I'd prefer if we put the mystery to rest rather than run around in circles.

[gluttoning]

[:(]

Mn. Hold on. Let me, uh... let me find Waltaquin.

[Hey bae he needs to see your knife.]

[necrotiem]

[She lifts her head to look up at him, curious as to what he might need from her. She flashes back to their conversation at the beginning of the trial apparently, because her mouth forms a little "o".]

Oh, you really plan to do this.

[Hands...him...the knife...]

Well, be my guest.

[finalmix]

[ he'll make it up to you next week promise ]

[stilllovesyou]

Could someone have killed him because they were hungry?

[skyworp]

Name names, it’s far more fun that way.

[He casts a look over to Beel.]

[stilllovesyou]

[She glares at him.]

Beel wouldn't eat a heart unless he'd run out of shelves and I don't appreciate you implying otherwise.

[plunges]

He was also at the spa last night, where Temenos brought a snack cart for Beelzebub so he wouldn't go on a rampage again. And he didn't.

[passetemps]

[ that seems like a valid enough counter. he nods. ]

So long as he had food options available to him like this, I have a very hard time believing he would choose to attack someone instead.

[skyworp]

I’m only following the logic from your suggestion. Who else, if not him?

[stilllovesyou]

Meat is edible for nearly everyone here. Anyone could devour a human heart.

[necrotiem]

I don't believe you have anything to be concerned about at the moment, Nona. Beel had a "snack crate" last night, and he seemed quite voracious upon our waking.

[conchy]

[He's gonna join Skywarp in making eyes towards Beel.]

A heart, petit chien? I hope you seasoned it first!

[stilllovesyou]

[She's actually getting mad now.]

He wouldn't kill someone just to eat his heart! And he said he liked Vergilius and he wasn't lying! Stop it!

[gluttoning]

[He's squinting back, but stays silent. He doesn't have time for you today, man.]

[passetemps]

[ ...well, he doesn't love that. ]
