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. ))

[For the second time, Temenos speaks to the group.

He...does not look happy.]

Everyone, back away from Lobelia.

[Anyone who attempts to get at Lobelia now will be pushed back by Temenos, staff at the ready.]

Let him speak.

[dancing_flames]

[His eyebrows go up, but he's just gonna do as told.

Temenos, you give him a signal at any point and he'll do his thing.]

[finalforte]

[Awww. But it looked like it was going to get even more interesting?

She'll step back though.]

[hearnoplague]

[ Way ahead of you...

Kallamar is going to find himself at the back of the crowd, having purposefully placed himself behind everyone else. But..... Was Temenos just... ]

What are you doing...? [ He just stares at the scene in shock... ]

[skyworp]

[He’ll wait with baited breath. Go on, Lobelia. Give him something fun.]

[stilllovesyou]

[Contrasting her usual demeanor, Nona's eyes are wide and her pupils are slit like a predator's. Her voice, usually so cheerful, comes out in a low animalistic growl like she's trying not to lose herself in her rage.]

Bring them back.

[conchy]

It's a shame it came down to this, with all of you so eager to indulge in bloodshed and violence with no consideration for the truth. They say the truth sets you free, non? Calm yourselves and open your ears!

[Temenos understands that well, but what of the others? Lobelia's smile gradually widens, and bringing his fingers to his mouth, he whistles. Something about the size of his fist appears in his pocket, bleeding through the fabric. Pulling it from his pocket, Lobelia gives it a squeeze, letting trickles of cold blood run down his forearm.]

This is what you've all been searching so desperately for, isn't it? Monsieur Vergilius' heart. I had it all along.

[idologue]

[ Well. That is a reveal. At this point, Lacus no longer falters one bit. She just looks at Lobelia straight on. ]

Lobelia - is this the love you've found?

[dakicover]

Wow. It really was under our nose this whole time. You really are a fucking idiot.

[finalforte]

[Oh yuck.]

Ew.

[chosenwang]

[ Where is Billy ]

[dupiety]

[Temenos, still just in front of him, turns to see the truth for himself.

And all he does is close his eyes and sigh.

As he suspected. He's unsatisfied.]

[hearnoplague]

... Why do you have that?

[ Does he dare speak up? The lunatic is holding a bleeding heart. He is reminded of things he never wanted to think of today... ]

[passetemps]

[ absolutely no surprise here. ]

[finalmix]

[ muttering under his breath in irritation: ] what did I say about bloodied pockets earlier...

[gluttoning]

[...]

Your trophy.

[Her entire body is shaking and it's not really Nona speaking. Or it is, but she's speaking from behind her mask. The mask being her face and skull, obviously.]

[skyworp]

Was it worth it?

[He’ll answer that, as a spectator.]

Yes. Oh, yes it was.

[dancing_flames]

[His single eye narrows to a flinty slit, but he makes no move to do anything just yet.]

[divector]

Hmm...? Is there a reason to act surprised?

[ He sounds genuinely curious about that, not even annoyed. ]

[solutionary]

[He said "protecting Haruka"... From Lobelia being like this, or from Vergillus this week?]

[necrotiem]

What a terrifying story.

This one is longer than two sentences, too.

Are they proud of you?

[solutionary]

[Time to stay a reasonable distance back, but at the ready]

[butcherspice]

...you got any good reason why I should let that freak have anythin' aside from the courtesy of me rippin' his head off his shoulders?

[handsheld]

[ Just as an fyi, someone has jumped down to get a better look at pretty much all of this. He can join the popcorn mozzarella squad in spirit, though his eyes track everything that's going on with intense focus. ]
