WEEK 5; TRIAL

[killerwaves]

TRIAL

Three dead, one vote. This might be a pit of a pickle, huh? Perhaps appropriately, the kittybots are serving pickles of all flavors today, along with food that might remind you of your childhood like ants on a log, gummy worm sundaes and adorable toast in sweet and savory profiles. To drink, are their best attempts at replicating the DD refreshers with a whole array of silly straws.

Off to the side in a booth of their own are the bodies as well as attendant kittybots (well two bodies and one arm); simply request which body you'd like to look at and the kitty bots will direct you appropriately, given the number of arms floating around. The kittybots continue to do their best.

(( OOC: Welcome to your third trial! You'll have 7 hours (8PM EST/5PM PST) to vote one (1) person guilty of murder. 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. ))

Last night.

I left the cabana, heading off towards the main resort. And then I... I don't remember anything after that for a while.

When I came to, I was standing back on Sungem. Everything hurt. I was covered in blood. I was missing one of my horns, and I could barely see. My eyes hurt.

[dupiety]

Your eyes hurt? In what way?

[Temenos knows they're irritated from crying, but can he see anything else going on with Beel's eyes right now?]

[gluttoning]

They were burning. Really badly. I could barely tell where I was going.

It took me a really long time at the sink in the cabana to feel like it was getting any better.

[But his eyes are still very red, and if Temenos is determined to do a more thorough exam, they are blistering slightly under the eyelids in the mucous membranes.]

[dupiety]

...the poisonous gas.

[Temenos murmurs, realizing this just got very, very convoluted.]

That was related to the incident at the laboratory.

[gluttoning]

[YEAH HE'S JUST

?????

LOOKING A LITTLE MORE GUILTY AND DISTRESSED WITH EVERY PASSING MOMENT TBH]

[dupiety]

[Temenos sees this and takes his hand.]

It's all right. Calm yourself. We are going to get through this.

That would have severely impacted your ability to fight, would it not?

[gluttoning]

[...]

I don't know.

When things start getting bad, I remember smells more than I do sights.

[dupiety]

[He nods.]

Do you remember any particular smells during the night, then? Before or after your time of blackout.

[gluttoning]

[He shakes his head.]

No. Just blood.

[dupiety]

[He's not giving up.]

You can differentiate blood, can't you? What kind?

[gluttoning]

[He takes a second to concentrate.

...]

After what I checked with the body before... I think it's Alice.

[dupiety]

...

On you? Or in your mouth?

[gluttoning]

...

Both.

[dupiety]

[He lets out a shuddering sigh, his hand on Beel gripping tight.]

I wish we had more time.

[solutionary]

.... I did bring the other broken and open glassware. Beelzebub could attempt to see if they spark a memory.

[Just saying.]

[idologue]

Beelzebub. Please.

[ REMEMBER. You have to REMEMBER. ]

[gluttoning]

I...

I don't know, Lacus. I don't know if that will work. I've never been able to remember a rampage.

[But like, he can try?]

[idologue]

Try it.

[ That's basically an order. ]

You were with him, in some form. Remember.

[gluttoning]

[...]

Okay. I'll try. I promised you I would do what I could. Right?

[Uno momento while I check with the mods.]

[solutionary]

[He will fetch his box of wonder then, including the broken vial that held liquid hydrochloric acid and a bottle of powder that reads sodium hypochlorite. There's also a bottle of liquid acetone.

He'll hold them out for you to sniff Beel]

dismemberment

[necrotiem]

What about being clear-headed enough to know that removing Zelkov's arm would had disabled his transformation?

Not many of us have -

[Oh. The execution.]

[idologue]

[ And that has her whirling back around after her confrontation with Ibuki. ]

[dupiety]

[BIG FUCKING MOOD, LACUS.]

[plunges]

[ +2 ]

[solutionary]

[once again, loud drama is happening on one side of the sandbar and in the other Beel confesses something distressing]
