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. ))

................. oh my.

Damn it!! There's a problem!!

[ She doesn't even know what face to make, but Haro can cuss in the meantime, it's fine. ]

Lobelia... When and how did you set this up?

[conchy]

I'm so glad you asked, Chère! I set this up Thursday afternoon in anticipation of this day! I hope Haruka's lilting cries have gone far to lift your spirits!

[And as for how... Lobelia sighs.]

You know it exhausts me to explain these things. Magic isn't something that can be easily explained, can it?

[idologue]

[ Lacus is just... stunned. She'll let the lack of explanation fly, she's just... ]

I may... have misunderstood your meaning, I am quite afraid.

[ SHE THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD. ]

[conchy]

Mm? What is there to misunderstand?

[Just be glad he's still alive... for now!]

[idologue]

I was quite convinced someone was playing this to spite your death, I'm afraid.

[ :) ]

[conchy]

Oh dear...

[Poor Lacus. She really does worry far too much about him... hey, but at least someone does!]

Non, even if that had been the case, I'm afraid their efforts would have been in vain. There are few sounds I love more than Haruka's.

[That would've been a wonderful sendoff, one Lobelia would have gladly accepted.]

[idologue]

[ This is why she was running so much this morning... The solution to the riddle is making her feel... something. Something stupid. ]

It would have been quite the fitting requiem for you, yes.

[conchy]

[Lobelia smiles, soft and genuine.]

The ouverture has yet to come, but everyone's life will end at some point, non? For your sake, I hope you won't witness my downfall here today.

[idologue]

I have endured grief before.

[ If Lobelia dies, he should be reassured that Lacus is going to keep standing. ]

However, I'd much rather discover the truth than let whimsical feelings of annoyance carry everyone's judgement. You'll help out, won't you?

[conchy]

[Lobelia's smile widens, tipping his head to one side.]

You'll ask me nicely, won't you? "S'il te plaît."

[He just wants someone to be nice to him! Is that too much to ask?]

[idologue]

[ Lacus feels a little lighter for the first time since this morning - and that in itself is something she feels a bit guilty about, given the circumstances they are still in. ]

Bien sûr, Lobelia. And merci beaucoup for clearing up our morning broadcast question.

[ She knows like four words of French, but it's the soul that counts. ]

[LOBELIA NO ONE IS GLAD YOU'RE STILL ALIVE RIGHT NOW]
