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. ))

In solving these murders, we might have to resort to profiling. We're meant to ask "who among us would have an interest in playing this song as their hymn of triumph?"

[townmusician]

That seems stupid - everyone immediately has a suspect just from that, don't they?

[Because, well. Looks at the archives…]

[idologue]

Exactly.

[ Like, that's something they're going to have to discuss as much as she feels conflicted about it. ]

[townmusician]

[He's not even going to bother asking why someone would want to frame Lobelia, because, like. He's talked to Lobelia.]

What do you think, then?

[conchy]

Cher!

[Please, he knows you're beating around the "Lobelia did this" bush, so why are you denying him your direct attention?]

Do you have a question?! You can ask me anything!

[idologue]

[ Don't make that expression about it. ]

I don't want to ask you anything at present. Unless your priorities have drastically changed, I have a hard time imagining you announcing yourself so boisterously.

However, somebody certainly wants us to think you did it.

[townmusician]

[lobelia jumpscare]

L-Lobelia-san!

[Ask him anything…]

…Do you know how anyone would get a recording of that song?

[Because he definitely hasn’t seen any ZOOL CDs around.]

[necrotiem]

...

Someone else came into possession of items belonging to myself before coming here. It isn't outside the realm of possibility a recording could have been handed out by the catbots, is it?

[dupiety]

[Ohhhh. Temenos perks up at that.]

I can confirm this also happened to me.

[idologue]

Haruka has received one of Mr. Pink's companions, too. It seems to happen quite regularly.

[passetemps]

[ hm. ]

Yes, that is true.

[divector]

Oh, as the reward for tasks?

I can confirm that I did not try at all on the second week and got nothing. But when I did do one task the first week, I got an item delivered by a robot.

[necrotiem]

[WHAT IS THIS PERSON (PEOPLE'S) DEAL?]

[necrotiem]

[Presumably before Lobelia just whips it out in front of god and everyone,]

Oh, what was it that made its way to this island, Menos?

[dupiety]

..."Menos"...?

[He keeps collecting nicknames, somehow.

Anyway, he clears his throat.]

It was one of my paper plays.

[gluttoning]

Same here.

It's kind of hard to track something like that, though. Not unless someone saw a CD or something with someone else.

[necrotiem]

Look at how many of us had harpoons stashed away in secret places.

[So...yeah, definitely hard to track and easy to lie about. She assumes CDs are much smaller than harpoons! What the fuck is a CD!]

[dancing_flames]

[Don't remind him of how there were at least 2 harpoons in Dove alone...]

[gluttoning]

Yeah. A CD would be a lot smaller and easier to hide.

[conchy]

There you go, petit chien! You're much smarter than I'd given you credit for...!

[Guess who whips Haruka's CD right out of his pocket? Tada!]

Your music is simply divin, Haruka! Yours is the voice of an ange! Considering how poorly we tend to sleep the night before trial, I thought I might surprise everyone with your dulcet tones! What else would soothe our nervous souls better than our very own idol?!

[Still... he has a question, one which might resolve one of the questions on people's minds.]

Ah, but s'il vous plaît dites-moi, what language are you singing in? I would love to learn it!

[passetemps]

[ are you fucking serious ]

mod-chans…

[townmusician]

Well, did anyone get a CD?

[…]

And I know I sang it here. On this island.

[So, did it sound like a studio recording or not?]

[handsheld]

[ Watches Lobelia be Lobelia with a shake of his head and something that's almost a smile.

Shine on you crazy diamond. ]

For the record, we ain't telling you what we give out. You can figure that out yourselves.

[chosenwang]

Think you need to sue for them distributing your CD like this without paying you.

[stilllovesyou]

It would have to be someone who could recognize the song, right? I can't recognize it at all, I'm sorry.

[Nona, you weren't under suspicion...]
