[The doors to the trial room close shut with a click–no way out now. The air is uneasy, while some are ready to figure out who did the do…some of course are still not over the events that recently occurred. As you glance around at the students, do you notice a spot empty, a podium with Stefan’s face crossed out pasted in the framing.
Shuffles can be heard behind the chair that seems to be placed in the middle of the court room. The monotone bear hops up, glancing around at the faces that seem to be mostly glaring at him. His response is only a fit of laughter]
{UPUPUPUHAHAHAH! AHA!!! I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU BASTARDS ACTUALLY SUNK THAT LOWAND LISTENED TO ME! AHHH, WELL. RULES ARE RULES, AND SINCE SOMEONE WAS KILLED IT’S ONLY REASONABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHO THE CULPRIT IS.}
{THOUGH OF COURSE, BEFORE WE GET KNEES DEEP INTO ANYTHING, LET’S GO OVER SOME RULES. A-HEM!}
- Do not be rude to one another
- You must all speak politely and give everyone a chance to talk
- Keep OOC chat to a minimum so as to not lose focus from the trial
- If someone wishes to fire an evidence bullet then ask. Everyone else MUST be quiet during this time
- No interrupting or typing of any sort during an MTB UNLESS you are a part of the MTB
- When a mod says to be quiet then stop typing
- Ask to post links relating to the trial into the chat
- Long paragraphs are now forbidden during trials due to them making text continually fly up and are difficult to follow because of the fast paced nature of trials. It is only acceptable when you are doing the climax inference, or if you are the culprit explaining your reasoning
Haruko:Right, first of all, I have an important question to everyone who actually attended that party.
{CRYSTAL CLEAR?! GOOD. CAUSE I ‘AINT REPEATING MYSELF!}
Candy: “What about the party?”
Haruko: Did you all WANT to die?
Haruko: There is a death threat, and your response was to attempt to gather everyone in a large area with plenty of distractions.
Haruko: Attending was, effectively, an act of suicide.
Nami: It wasn’t that dangerous!! It was fun! We needed fun. Stop being such a stick in the mud!
Haruko: Wasn’t that dangerous?! Someone is dead!
Greg frowned at Haruko but didn’t say anything. What a bitch.
Mana: It’s true, though. It was dangerous. It was obvious that it was. But we did go that we needed fun.
Eirik: To be fair, a group could be more secure. Everyone watching each other’s back and all.
Crystal: “The party was set up by Monomi, I don’t trust her that much but I don’t think it was an act of suicide.”
Nami: Yeah, but not dead at the /party/. There wasn’t a party in the bathroom!
Suzie: Was it really that dangerous?? Ah I guess like it kinda was
Nicole: I agree with Eirik - it’s much easier to kill someone who is alone. The person who died was alone when it happened.
Phoebe: Is this really important?
Candy: “Plus, wasn’ the motive that a family member would be killed? Not one of us?”
Haruko: Regardless. What sort of evidence do we have?
Eirik: Exactly. In theory, going to the party was a good idea. More witnesses.
Mana: Well, you’re right. That wouldn’t have happened in the middle of the party. From now on we need to stick with someone…
Emi: … Can we just get on to finding the killer…? I think I know who it is already.
Nicole: Oh? Please enlighten us.
Crystal: “We can’t go pointing fingers until we have evidence to support it.”
Mana: I’m not sure who it is, but I may know a thing or two about how exactly he was killed…
Nicole: Perhaps there is evidence to support this accusation, though.
Haruko: Then by all means, share.
Emi: I’ve got some evidence. Yeah.
Mana: I mean, it’s almost clear that he died from mercury poisoning, so…
Phoebe: I tried my best, though I wasn’t able to acquire much evidence, so any theories should help.“
Eirik: But didn’t they stop using Mercury for household stuff like thirty years ago?
Mana: Yeah, but there was a mercury thermometer there, if I remember right.
Mana: Which, technically, they should not have.
Eirik: Must have been pretty old.
Suzie: Wait, slow down…
Emi: *pulls the broken mercury thermometer out of their pocket* Yeah, I brought it. It’s drained of all mercury.
Haruko: My god, is this place really that backwards as to have mercury just lying about like that?
Nami: And!! And and and. There was silver stuff in the insulin bag! Mercury’s silver, right?
Mana: Hey, that makes sense…
Nami: There were silvery traces of liquid in the thing outside Crystal Room, too…
Crystal: "Please tell me there wasn’t any mercury still on that thing, we don’t want more mercury poisoning.”
Emi: I believe it was all drained. Someone took care to handle it using large latex gloves they got from the supply closet at the coffee shop, which means they knew how dangerous it was.
Crystal: “Oh. Speaking of the bag.” Crystal holds up the bag that she’s been carrying around with her and then opens it. “Yeah there’s something in here with silver tint.”
Greg: W-Wait, are you trying to say he was poisoned with mercury?!
Emi: It seems likely. Orochi-san told me about the symptoms of mercury poisoning, and they match up to the state of the corpse.
Mana: Yeah, most likely. Skin’s peeling, cheeks are reddish… It’s the most likely thing here.
Suzie: How’d he get mercury poisoning?? Did he drink it?
AZ: Speakin’ a the bag, I found somethin’ in his and I’s room… looks like the stuff that should'a been in the bag.
Nicole: What idiot would drink mercury?
Haruko: Unlikely. It wouldn’t have been in his insulin if he drank it.
Nami: He shot himself with it!
Mana: I dunno… Maybe he accidentally injected it? That’s a bad way to go…
Ray: Someone who didn’t know?
Suzie: Well maybe he locked himself in the room and killed himself, y'know?
Nami: AZ-san said he was frantically looking for his insulin bag. Right, Az-san? Which means someone else had it…
Candy: “Why would he do that?”
Haruko: Why would he use gloves to handle a substance he meant to kill himself with?
Imasaru: That would seem reasonable. Suicide to save us all.
Suzie: Ummmmm, dunno
Suzie: But like maybe he would
AZ: Yeah. Poor guy was tearin’ the room apart…
Nami: I think it was a mistake! Otherwise, why would there have been– *pulls out an insulin container*– this outside of Crystal Room?
Nami: It’s missing a lot of it… but there’s some silvery stuff in it…
Ray: Sooo… mercury!
Nami: Oh!!! And in Crystal Room, I found a box of large latex gloves! Just like Emi said…
Haruko: So, I would say we have enough evidence to safely conclude that Stefan injected himself with mercury in place of his insulin.
Haruko: The question is, how were the substances swapped out?
Emi: Someone took his bag.
Emi: I’m guessing Orochi-san.
Dan: Huh? Why do you say that?
Candy:“Wha? Why Orochi?”
Orochi: What did you say?
Ray: Oh wowie.
Emi: Because Orochi-san knew he was diabetic, and does fit the gloves I found, and as a toxicologist would naturally know all about mercury. Plus, Nami found the gloves and insulin in, or outside of, his and Satine-san’s room.
Crystal: “Can I see the gloves?”
Nicole: Orochi, any defense?
Ray: Isn’t it kinda common knowledge that mercury’s bad for ya?
Haruko: I’m sorry? I refuse to accept that a toxicologist is the only possible culprit in a case where the only toxicological knowledge required is the fact that mercury is bad.
Dan: Hmm…that is some decent evidence…but weren’t there gloves missing from the supply closet too?
Orochi: I hardly knew the guy. Why would I kill him?
Dan: Plus yeah, everybody pretty much knows mercury is kinda bad for you.
Phoebe: That seems so convenient. Like a set-up
Greg: Why would ANYONE kill him?
Emi: Yes, there were. Two pairs. I have one, the other was in the trash outside the coffee shop with mercury on them. *hands over the gloves to Crystal*
Orochi:Exactly.
Haruko: Hmm. What would the culprit need two pairs of gloves for?
Orochi: Who would kill? You all wanted to be here peacefully anyway?
Crystal takes the gloves and puts them on her hands. They fit perfectly. “Just because one person fit the gloves doesn’t mean they’re the only person.”
Phoebe: Why would someone leave such crucial evidence just lying around?
Eirik: I’m kinda skeptical about this guy too. Doesn’t it seem kinda easy?
{CRYSTAL HAS YAOI HANDS, PASS IT ON}
Haruko: Rubber gloves are generally not sized for individuals. That’s why they’re rubber.
Ray:Yao-what?
Mana: I dunno if the fit matters. Could be a set-up, to frame someone else.
Crystal: “EXCUSE ME?”
Emi: Who else would you think it is, then?
Eirik: Yeah. Aren’t they like one size fits all?
Suzie: What’s yaoi?
Emi: There were multiple sizes in the supply closet. *shrugs*
Greg bursts out laughing because he’s weeaboo trash.
Haruko:AHEM.
Dan: Lots of people here could wear large sized gloves! And even then who says they were the right size?
Ray: Those kinda gloves don’t really depend on size, right? I think? Maybe!
Haruko: We still haven’t determined why the culprit would have needed two pairs.
Imasaru: Perhaps to cover up their case?
Suzie: Maybe two people did it!
Candy: “…Oh! That reminds me. I took some gloves from the coffeehouse a bit ago.”
Eirik: Well, they could just be thorough? Like, maybe they have an established routine with handling dangerous stuff?
Cameron: Maybe they wanted to make a pair of glove balloons?
Ray: One mighta gotten stuff on it?
Nicole: How long would “a bit ago” be?
Suzie: Glove balloons, I like that one.
Haruko: …tell the clown it’s not allowed to speak.
Ray: Or the balloon gloves! That theory’s pretty hecka.
Nami: There was definitely a pair of gloves missing from the box in Crystal Room… but I couldn’t find them anywhere!
Candy: “Uh. I dunno. A bit ago?”
Nicole sighs.
Ray: How much of a bit is a bit?
Mana: Well what’d you need those gloves for?
Greg: I have a question…
Candy:“Somethin’.”
Ray:Insightful.
Dan: But who even goes into the supply closet for the coffeehouse? I only just now heard about it today
Eirik: Same. And I’ve been there half a dozen times
Eirik: the coffeehouse, that is
Ray: Well, the murderer.
Haruko: If the details of the murder were premeditated, the culprit likely scoped out the area beforehand.
Candy: “I took large gloves fer somethin’ but that’s all I’m sayin’.”
Cameron: Waaas it balloon gloves? If not I’m super duper disappointed.
Imasaru: “Would you mind sharing what 'somethin’ was for?”
Nicole crosses her arms over her chest. “And why won’t you say anything else?”
Candy: “It wasn’ balloon gloves. And I ain’t sayin’ what! It’s my business.”
Phoebe: It would best if you told us.
Imasaru: Affirmative. My apologies.
Mana: If you don’t tell us, you could quickly become a suspect here.
Dan: Does it honestly really matter?
Haruko: We are dealing with murder here. Keeping secrets will only raise suspicion.
Ray: Soo people knew about it?
Eirik: “If she did it, though, why would she bring up that she took gloves?”
Imasaru: “If it helps any. I kept my eye on Candy durring the day. And she..hardly moved from her booth.”
Mana: If she didn’t do it, why would she keep the reason a secret…
Candy: “YA DID WHAT?”
Ray: I don’t think she would have said anything if she was really suspicious! Isn’t that, like, a suuper duper big sign to give that up to ya?
Phoebe: If she has an alibi it shouldn’t matter.
Greg raises his hand “I have a question! Can people get into other peoples rooms?”
Imasaru: [loud sweating]
Nami: I got into Crystal Room. But… only after the murder.
Ray: Normally, I don’t think so? I’m not sure, though! Best guess, that’s all I’m really relying on.
Greg: Because, if nobody could get in but the people who were assigned to that room, that would mean that if someone was framing Orochi, it would have to be his roommate.
Eirik: “How 'bout we ask him?” Eirik looked at Monobear.
{HAH?}
Eirik: “Can we get into each other’s rooms, like on a normal day?”
Mana: I’d assume if someone invited someone over…
Nami: I’ve been able to let Emi in! A lot.
Ray: Well I kinda hope not.
{UPUPU. THAT’S WHAT YOUR IDS ARE FOR. THEY’RE THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW YOU’RE ENTERING YOUR ROOM! IF YOU BREAK IN, YOU’LL GET KILLED!}
Eirik: “So that settles that.”
Nami: There was definitely stuff in Crystal!
Eirik: “So who’s this Orochi’s roommate?”
Phoebe: Wait, you’re asking if we can get in normally. Wasn’t Stefan killed only an hour before we found him? Are rooms locked during investigations? Because if not the culprit might have been doing things as we were still investigating…
{THOUGHT I MIIGGHHTT HAVE UNLOCKED THE DOORS TO LET PEOPLE INVESTIGATE. WHO KNOWS. I’M NOT TELLING! UPUPUPU}
Nami: Satine-san is.
Satine: “Yeah, it’s me.”
Haruko: Do you have an alibi?
Satine: “I know I seem like the easiest fucking target right now, but trust me. He wasn’t worth a kill. Not to me anyways. I was hanging out around my dorm after I inspected his legs. Don’t want people stealing my things when it’s not needed.”
Imasaru: “And prior to his killing?”
Yuuka: “Ah.. Um.. Isn’t.. I-Isn’t killing people b-bad..? So um.. a b-bad person did it..”
Satine: Alexander is rubbing his head, pulling out a cigarette
Satine: “You tryin’ to hint at somethin’ pinky!?”
Ray: Killing people is bad! Hecka unrad.
Haruko:…
Yuuka:“M-Me?!”
Nicole makes a face at the cigarette.
Eirik: “Doesn’t mean the person who did it is bad though.”
Phoebe: Hey, don’t smoke in here!
Satine: “Who the fuck else would I be talking to!?”
Haruko: …Yes. Killing people is bad. Such important evidence.
Eirik: “Good people do bad things if they’re pushed too far.”
{OI! OI! YOU} [Monobear points at alex] {NO FUMAR POR FAVOR}
Phoebe: It’s very inconsiderate
Greg: H-Hey! There’s no need to be mean!
Yuuka coughs a little, turning her head away from Satine.
Candy: “Well she ain’t wrong.”
Alexander glances around, and sighs. “I know smoking sucks. Hell, I’m doing it and I hate it. But it’s not easy to quit.”
Yuuka: “I… I.. I’m.. I’m..! I’M N-NOT!”
Dan: Hey put that out! Do you want to kill us and have to have another investigation?!
Emi: … I don’t think we’ll die that easily.
Phoebe: That doesn’t matter, you’re damaging other people’s lungs without their consent. Put that away.
Eirik: “Can we just get back to the trial?”
Dan: Well not quickly but eventually!
Mana is the only one really not affected by that.
AZ: Are y'all seriously gettin’ all butt hurt over a cig? Christ…
Nicole: Smoking is disgusting but I’d rather we get back to the murder on hand, please.
Alex points to the red head. “I like you.”
Yuuka:“I.. I.. I d-do… I don’t! I d-don’t want to hurt.. y-your feelings..! I’m.. I’m j-just saying..! Only.. b-bad people.. kill o-others..!”
Eirik: “It’s common courtesy not to smoke in an enclosed space.”
Satine: “Bitch! You don’t know me! Yeah, I may be terrible, but I ain’t no killer!”
Cameron: She’s right! Only really mean bad people kill others!
Mana: Can’t we just focus on the trial instead? Jeez…
Suzie: That makes sense!
Yuuka squeaks in surprise, staggering back from her podium a little.
Cameron: *GASPS* You can’t say that word!!!
Suzie: Who here is really mean??
Yuuka: “A-Ah..? Ah.. Ah..”
Ray: Are ya okay, miss?
Eirik: “So anyway, what were we talking about before?”
Yuuka: Is definitely not okay.
Ray: I need to send some sunshine your way!
Nicole sighs and rubs her temples. “You’re all getting nowhere with this childish squabbling.”
Suzie: *points to Satine* Well she’s mean.
Alex: “Jesus christ, that blonde needs to shut up.” He looks over at Yuuka. “Please, ignore her. She doesn’t know the definition of a inside voice.”
Haruko: We’re not here to debate the morality of murder. We’re here to determine who could have been responsible for this murder.
Yuuka: “I…I… I’m… I.. Oh.. Ah.. Uh… Oh.. Um…”
Yuuka nervously raises her hand.
Greg: M-Maybe we should think about Monobear’s p-punishment?
Dan: I know we were talking about gloves earlier, and who can get into what rooms…I think someone mentioned alibis too?
Yuuka: “Can.. I c-can I have p-permission to leave..?”
Dan: oh! That’s right the motive!
Ray makes a little gesture to Yuuka, like he was sending a bit of magic to her. “To help ya feel more okay!”
{LEAVE? UPUPPUPU! YA CRACK ME UP}
Satine: “Ohhhh, look who’s raising those red flags now?!”
Eirik: “I was playing a drum solo at that point. Everyone could see me.”
Yuuka:“Huh?!”
Nicole grits her teeth. “That 'motive’ was sick.”
Phoebe: Right, that motive…
Yuuka: “P-Please.. I can’t… I c-can’t.. really…”
Phoebe: At first I thought Stefan was very upset about it, so at first I thought it was suicide. But now I suppose not.
Crystal: “I doubt Monobear would’ve went along with it.”
Ray: You’re starting to worry me, miss! Is there anything ya need?
Eirik: “Yeah, I doubt it was suicide. He would have gotten it over with quicker.”
Crystal: “I mean really? Killing a family member of all of us?”
Alex: “I can’t deny the motive was….Moving.” Glancing down, as if thinking. Pausing. “But who would be crazy enough to go for murder, knowing very well they would get caught and killed?” He takes a drag. “Makes no sense to me.”
Phoebe: Not to mention the trail of clues left behind.
Crystal: “Seems impossible.”
{NAH. I COULD HAVE PULLED IT OFF}
Haruko: Regardless of whether he COULD do it, clearly someone believed he would.
Eirik: “Someone who values family more than themselves.”
Suzie: Well he’s not gonna kill anyone now, right?
Imasaru: “Maybe asking who’d be most willing to kill due to the motive would be reasonable?”
Mana: And you think they’d fess up?
Haruko: Everyone would deny it.
Eirik: “Why would they tell the truth though?”
Candy: “Ya really think they’d say they would?”
Yuuka: “Y-Yes.. I r-really.. wanna go..”
Candy: “God you’re naive.”
Phoebe: Maybe alibis then?
Imasaru: “I appologize, Candy.”
Emi: Could be useful.
Alex: “I just think they’re stupid. It’s obvious they’ll be caught soon.” He smirked. “They should give up now.”
Eirik: “Like I said, I was playing. Everyone could see me.”
Satine: “Hah! I’ll laugh when they do.”
Ray: Monobear! Can’t ya just have a teensy weensy exception? Someone stepping outta here can’t be that big a deal, right?
Greg: I was just…at the party.
Mana: I was just walking around, talking to people and just hanging out. Wasn’t paying attention to see if anyone was gone or not, so I’m not of much use.
Candy: “I’m clear since supposedly SOMEONE was watchin’ me all day.”
{NAH}
{THERE’S NO WAY OUTTA HERE ANYWAY}
Haruko: I’ve been in my room since you all started preparing for your suicide party.
Ray: Wow that ain’t cool.
Emi: I was with Nami at the party. She was exceedingly reluctant to leave my side.
Alex: “Oh, uh, I was just drinking some coffee at the party. I wasn’t really hiding, I’m sure someone could see me.”
Yuuka: “W-Wha..?! I.. I j-just.. want.. I n-need to s-sleep this off..!”
Suzie: I was at the party with Lili, eating lots of food.
Crystal: “You’re so hung up on this whole 'suicide party’ thing, why do you think it was that?”
Dan: Alibis? I think around that time I was getting ready for my time slot…
Cameron: I was just really runnin’ around everywhere! Checkin’ out as many booths as I could honestly!
Crystal: “I was in my room, although that’s not a very good alibi.”
Satine: “I was about to sing, but he had to get himself killed before I had a chance.”
Mana: Yeah, I was doing the same thing as Cameron. Just hanging around.
Ray: Oh! Alibi! I was around!
Haruko: I’m only trying to emphasize the irresponsibility of the whole thing.
Crystal: “And how was it irresponsible? It was just a party.”
Greg: W-We already know it turned out wrong! Stop rubbing it in our faces!
Eirik: “If you think about it, it’s actually more responsible. Watching each other’s back and all.”
Haruko: It’s easy to distract people at a party.
Nami: The party turned out fine!! Don’t be so down on it! Geez, it’s the guy in the bathroom who died!
Imasaru: There’s no way to change the past. So stop squabbling about what we did prior to the murder.“
Mana: Well, it’s not like anyone thought it was gonna happen.
Eirik: "I mean, looking at all the alibis we were able to give.”
Haruko: In addition, the area of the party was far too large for anyone to have been watching each other.
Phoebe: I don’t think the party counts as fine, since someone died.
Nami: But not at the party. Sheesh!
Ray: Well, even if the area was smaller, I don’t think anyone would really be watching each other either.
Yuuka: “Um… Can.. I p-pretty please.. leave t-this trial at l-least..? I r-really.. think I n-need to sleep..”
Candy: “Yeah well no one was sp'osed ta die.”
Nicole: ENOUGH about the party.
Mana: It’d be harder to kill someone out in the open, though…
Phoebe: That’s probably best.
{A-HEM! NO SLEEPING IN CLASS}
{UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE PUNISHED}
Phoebe: Enough arguing, whether the party was a good idea or not doesn’t really matter anymore.
Yuuka:“P-Punished..?!”
Crystal: “Alibis was a good idea, so did everyone get out an alibi?”
Yuuka: She starts to shake visibly, holding her hands close to her chest.
Greg looks terrified. He falls asleep all the time in random places.
Yuuka: “No.. No w-way!”
Ray: Now I’m really starting to worry about ya.
Mana: I have an alibi. I’m sure someone must have seen me around at the time of the murder, since I was just at the party.
Suzie: *Raises hand* I think that girl’s gonna be sick, should we get her a bucket?
Satine: Leaning over her bench. “Oh no, I think pinky is gonna heave.”
Yuuka: “If.. I I.. I n-need to calm down… or.. or..”
Imasaru: Deep breaths, Miss.
Ray: Pretty please? It’d be best to let her rest for a bit! Everyone needs some, ya know?
Eirik: “Let’s just focus on the case so we can get her out of here.”
Haruko: Then we’ll have to finish this quickly.
Nicole: At the rate we’re going, we’re not going to be done anytime soon.
Crystal sighs. “Alibis, please.”
Phoebe: I think I had just finished playing around the time he was killed
Nicole:Wait
AZ: Alibi? I was just wonderin’ 'round… which ain’t a very good alibi, but.
Eirik: “I was playing. I was onstage the entire time cause I play a lot of instruments.”
Crystal: “Finding out what everyone was doing will help us pinpoint some suspects at least.”
Nicole: I don’t think alibis of the time of the murder will get us anywhere
Ray: Sooo let’s try and rule people out!
Yuuka: “I.. Ugh…”
Nicole: Because someone could have easily filled Stefan’s syringe with mercury long before the party started
Ray: I was around too, I guess! I dunno if anyone saw me, but I assume I’m a pretty easy person to spot.
Yuuka: She pulls down her hat over her face, maybe not seeing the trial will help.
Imasaru: “The rabbit…docked me at a booth without real tattoos. They were temporary ones for children.”
Cameron: Hey Hey! Didn’t Stefan leave his booth a little while before he…d…died?
Crystal looks at Nicole. “Did you learn that at bird school? Which is for birds? Around here we’ll do what we can. Trust me I’m a lawyer.”
Emi: I’d have to agree with Nicole-san.
Eirik: “That was probably to go take his insulin.”
{DID YOU DATE A BIRD, CRYSTAL?}
Haruko: His insulin, which was replaced with mercury.
Cameron: So should we try to be focusing on alibis around that time instead of the whole party?
Mana: Hm… Then the fact that anyone could have replaced it with mercury BEFORE the party says absolutely nothing about the alibis here.
Phoebe: I was wondering, how many people knew that Stefan had diabetes?
Cameron: Ah…yea that’s true.
Emi: He wouldn’t have left if he didn’t have his insulin bag, I don’t think. There would have been no reason for him to.
Ray makes another little gesture towards Yuuka. Magical happiness powers to cure the poor girl.
Satine: “I didn’t know shit about the pasty fuck.”
Nami: I learned over the course of the investigation! But I’d never even met him before that.
Phoebe: Me either, Monobear wouldn’t give the information either. The only person I could think to ask was his roommate
Eirik: “I mean, I talked to him a little but he never mentioned diabetes.”
Dan: I didn’t meet him at all, sadly.
Yuuka: Is beyond help, but thanks for the magic Ray.
Suzie: How could he have diabetes if he made sweets?? I’m confused.
Mana: I never really knew him, definitely not enough to know that sort of personal information.
Haruko: Presumably from eating those sweets.
Nicole: Maybe he got diabetes from all of those sweets…
Emi: Orochi-san knew. Presumably AZ-san did as well. I don’t know if anyone else did.
Cameron: Well he’s gotta taste them a lot doesn’t he? Maybe that’s how he got it!
Suzie: So sad…To bake things you can’t eat
AZ: Hey, hey, hey! Roommate here, I gotta question that’s been irkin’ me.
Eirik: “He didn’t have to eat them. And if he did, he’d just have to take more insulin, right?”
Phoebe:Hm?
Haruko: If he had limited himself to proper foods, perhaps he would still be alive.
Phoebe: Don’t be so rude.
Haruko: It’s only an observation. Having to take his insulin left him open as a target.
Eirik: “Anyway, type one would mean he couldn’t produce insulin on his own.”
Cameron: This could have happened anyway! What if he had to go potty and the murderer killed them during that!
Cameron: Actually no, ewww that’s gross.
Phoebe: It’s not his fault he died, it was the culprit’s fault.
Emi: We’re getting off-topic…
Ray: Anyone could have done that! Pouring mercury into a drink would kill someone the same.
Alex starts to laugh. “I bet he woulda taken a shit if he died on the toliet like that”
Cameron: Stop saying no-no words!
Emi: Bickering won’t get us anywhere. AZ-san, what was your question?
Cameron: It’s not helping the case at all!
Phoebe: Ah, okay back to the topic. Didn’t the roommate have a question?
AZ: Roommate did have a question! The stuff that should'a been in his bag, his needles an’ shit, I found those in our room? Tryna’ been thinkin’ it over, but I can’t figure out how it got there if he had the bag.
Eirik:“Maybe he had extra.”
Crystal holds on the bag. “There were two needles in here.”
Phoebe:Where did you get that
Crystal:“Who me?”
Crystal:“I took it from the crime scene.” thanks crystal.
Phoebe: You took evidence from the crime scene?
Crystal:“Yeah?”
Crystal:“I knew it would be helpful.”
Nami:It was definitely by the body when I looked! It’s nice to have it at the trial, too!
Phoebe: Well…Alright, but it doesn’t seem proper.
Haruko:Interesting. Anything else?
Crystal:“One of the syringes in here has a silver tint.”
Nami:As far as insulin stuff goes, just the container from outside of Crystal…
Satine:“if it DOES help, I did find out his legs were swollen”
Yuuka has by this time, well, she is just kneeling down with her hat pulled down still. Isn’t gettinginvolved any more. Small voice, small baby yuuka, thank u
Haruko: From mercury poisoning, perhaps?
Phoebe: Swollen legs?
Nicole: I thought it was obvious by now he was probably poisoned by mercury?
Ray is very concerned about small baby Yuuka. Please free this little bird.
Haruko: I’ll admit I don’t know the symptoms, but it would sound like that was simply from the mercury.
Candy: “Uh. How did you even find that out?”
Greg is concerned too. he wants to give tiny yuuka a hug.
Phoebe: Is that a symptom of mercury poisoning? I’m not familiar with them.
Emi: The face and hands going red certainly is.
Candy: “I knew a guy who got mercury poisonin’. He got all swollen and red.”
Imasaru:“Candy…”
Alex: “Well ring a ding ding, we got a start.”
Emi: We had this start quite some time ago, I believe.
Emi: We’ve yet to goanywhere.
Candy: “T'was gross. He ended up dyin’.”
Eirik: “I can’t say I ever met someone that had. I just know they used to use it in thermometers, until it was deemed unsafe in the 1980s.”
Alex: “Yeah but we got a better start than all the yelling and can agree better”
Nicole: Yet we still have no idea who did it.
Haruko visibly shudders at the mention of the 1980s.
Mana grins and imagines aesthetic at the mention of the 1980s.
Emi: The only evidence leading anywhere else is the box of gloves in and insulin container outside of Orochi-san and Satine-san’s room. Unless anyone else has something?
Greg shrugs. He’s a lazy fuck who didn’t bother to investigate.
Candy: “So we got that someone with big hands took a box of gloves and also somethin’ bout mercury poisonin’.”
Eirik: “So which of those two has bigger hands?”
Imasaru: “Should we see everyone’s hands?”
Suzie: Well I don’t got big hands
Emi: I know Orochi-san fit into the gloves; I didn’t run into Satine-san to see.
Mana: My hands are just…normal, I guess. Not big or small, really.
Ray: What are yaoi hands again?
Nicole and Greg hold out their hands. Nicole’s hand are pretty average-sized; Greg’s are a bit on the big side.
Eirik: He raises his hands. He does have pretty big hands.
Crystal just sighs bc Monobear said she had yaoi hands.
Haruko: Could we stop discussing pornography, please?
Suzie:Huh?
Ray: I-Is that what that is?
Greg: Yaoi is gay anime porn.
Mana holds her hands out, and it certainly doesn’t look like they’d fit large-size gloves.
Satine: Glares, but raises her hands. Her’s are normal.
Imasaru holds out his hands–average for his height at least; large at the least.
Alexander sighs and raises a hand. His seem a bit bigger than average but possibly not enough for the gloves.
Ray:Oh.
Emi: *holds out their hands as well. average size, fairly slender*
Nami: *her hands are longer than average, at least. perhaps not big enough to fit the gloves. she didn’t actually try.*
Dan: My hands are average I guess? so I guess a large.
Cameron: I have tiny clown hands! Still able to juggle clubs though!
Candy puts her hands out and they seem a bit too small for large gloves. Why the hell did she take that size from the coffeehouse.
AZ holds out eir tattooed hands. They are on the bigger side.
Also significant that Eirik’s hands would even possibly be too big for the gloves.
Haruko sighs with exasperation and shows everyone her hands. They’re not exactly dainty, but definitely too small for the gloves.
Emi: I think Crystal-san’s got the pair I brought if anyone wants to actually try them on.
Suzie’s hands are fairly small considering how short she is, Phoebe’s hands are bigger but not large.
Imasaru: “At this rate, figuring out by doing this will take ages..”
Crystal: “Hah? Oh yeah.” She held up the pair of gloves. “They fit me perfectly so if your hands were the same size as mine than you’d fit them too.”
Eirik: “Well, were there any visitors to the…Crystal room, it was?”
Eirik: “You guys invite anyone over?”
Satine: “Fuck no.”
Orochi:No.
Eirik: “And the gloves are in their room. I’d say it’s between the two of 'em.”
{HEY CRYSTAL. GIVE ME THE GLOVES}
Phoebe: Well how does the motive aply to both of them?
Crystal like. Throws the gloves at him? Idk where they are in trial seating.
Greg glances at Satine. His bets are on her for the culprit.
{makes a Pikachu aww ye}
Eirik: “They both had family at risk, for one. We didn’t know who was gonna die, after all. It was random.”
Haruko: My god, he’s as bad as the clown.
Satine: Glaring daggers
Greg: Well, not everyone is close with their family.
Alex: “Woo boy.” Takes another drag.
Phoebe: Hey! Put that out
{I AM SHSL BALLOON ARTIST.}
Eirik: “Well we have no way of determining the truth. The culprit would lie even if we asked.”
Alex: “No. I am allowed. And stressed to high hell. So I smoke.”
Phoebe: Absolutely disgusting
Crystal: “BACK TO THE TRIAL PLEASE.”
Alex: “Listen lady, I don’t judge your hobbies. and as I said, I cannot help it. I only smoke when I’m stressed anyway.”
Eirik: “Like I was saying. It’s between Orochi and Satine.”
Phoebe: My hobbies don’t hurt people, thank you very much.
Nicole: Do either of them have an alibi?
Greg: *mumbles under his breath* shut the fuck up about the stupid fucking cigarette, jesus christ
Orochi watches the trial play out with a small smile before he begins to laugh. “You all should wake up embarrassed. You all are killing me here…So fucking stupid…..”
Ray:Whaaat?
Haruko: Is he going to confess, now? It’s been more than long enough.
Greg:!!!
Satine:“Oh? You’ll be sadly mistaken.”
Orochi:[laughs a little more before shaking his head] Yeah. I killed him. Happy? You all were going on and on and on and on–
Eirik:“I thought it was a little too easy. That’s probably what you wanted though.”
Satine:“Oh my precious roomate! I think I love you.”
Greg just kinda. Gaped in shock.
Mana:Well… Why? I mean, other than the obvious reason…
Emi:*looks over at Nami and sighs*
Nicole:Disgusting.
Ka-Thud! Looks like Yuuka passed out after all.
Ray goes over to check on her because WOW
Orochi:I killed him because it was easy. I knew his weakness. So I took the chance. And it worked, obviously. You should all be happy and rejoycing. None of your family members are harmed!
{AHHHH. BUT THAT’S WHERE YOU’RE WRONG}
Orochi:….What?
{DON’T YOU FUCKING REMEMBER THE RULES?!}
Mana:Who’s wrong 'bout what?
Satine:“My roomate, the killer! This is so exciting!”
Orochi:What rule?
{IF THE KILLER GETS CAUGHT OR IN THIS CASE, FESSES UP…UPUPUPU!!!!}
{ YOU GET EXECUTED! }
NO GRADUATION FOR YOU.}
Orochi:…I didn’t forget.
Yuuka: Oh thank god I’m unconscious
Orochi: I’m dead anyway.
Haruko: I suppose he’s expecting his family to be spared for this “noble sacrifice”.
Alex raised a brow. “Are we forgetting something?”
{HERE’S THE THING THOUGH. YOU BASTARDS GOTTA VOTE ON WHO DID WHAT. EVEN THOUGH IT’S OBVIOUS.}
Emi: Amazing… it only took an hour or so longer than it needed to…
{AND I SWEAR TO GOD IF ANYONE VOTES FOR ELYSE}
Orochi: Just get it over with?
Haruko: Elyse? Who..?
Orochi: You all must be slow in everything.
Greg:…Elyse?
Emi: I can’t believe I’m agreeing with a murderer.
Eirik:“Hm?”
Monobby:https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Z9HR9ZK
Haruko: Who is this Elyse Brooks on the ballot, and why are people voting for them..?
Orochi: If you must know, I did it for my mother. She’s an angel and doesn’t deserve any harm. Sure, finding out her son is dead will be harsh, but….Oh well. Thanks for letting me play this 'game’ . You’ll all die soon anyway.
Nami: Oooh! Maybe we have… a mystery student!
Greg: Stickin’ it to the man
Ray: Oh nooo!
Eirik: “I’m gonna need a nap after this.”
Emi:Bye.
Orochi simply laughs aloud before grinning.
Nicole sighs and shakes her head. “You’re a fool.”
Orochi: Hit me with your best shot *winks at his roommate*
Satine bursts into laugher. She’s laughing really hard. “Goodbye precious roomamate! Only from this, did I end up liking you.”
{HITS DA BUTTON}
Greg just. Stays quiet. He’s scared of what’s going to happen.
G A M E O V E R
Sayomi: “That’s a fucked up way of thinkin.”
Alex: “…..Jesus christ.”
{UPUPUPUHAHAHAHAHA}
GAMEOVER! OROCHI NOH HAS BEEN FOUND GUILTY OF THE MURDER OF STEFAN MILLER.
COMMENCE THE EXECUTION!
Laughing Gas
Orochi awakes to find himself hunched over a cold metal examining table, surrounded by an array of various beakers, test tubes, as well as other basic lab equipment. He rubs his eyes groggily but notices he’s… wearing gloves? Latex ones at that… he looks down and also notices that he appears to be decked out in his usual lab gear, and that there’s a list of ingredients for a mixture on the table before him. He looks around at the various chemicals and sees, however, none of them are labelled. He can hear a soft beeping sound and looks up to see a timer just over head.
“30 SECONDS TO LOCK-DOWN”
“29”
“28”
Straining his ears past the beeping, the faint sound of squeaking metal comes to his attention and the full image of the room becomes clear. It’s like a metal box… with grates along the upper walls. however, the grates appear to be… closing?!… Orochi examines each of the chemicals again, looking back to the list as he tries to figure out what to do. The beeping seems… louder? And the fumes in the air are making him light headed, he can barely even read the numbers…
“23”
“22”
He curses to himself and begins picking up random beakers and test tubes, mixing together their contents and praying this was going smoother than he thought it was.
“18”
“17”
He feels a lucid smile tug at the corners of his lips, his vision blurring together as the fumes overwhelm him. He begins coughing but… laughing?
“11”
“10”
In his stupor, his hand slips and he over pours, causing a small explosion. He only stares with a grin and faint chuckle at the broken glass that sits before him, in his hands and scattered about the table. His laughter becomes hysterical as he begins playing at the glass, digging it deeper and deeper into his hands, numb to the pain of the burning and tearing flesh.
“5”
“4”
He falls back to the floor, gripping at either side of his head as he continues grinning and laughing, cutting the sides of his face as he looks up at the timer
“3”
“2”
“1”
With a sharp grating sound, the room is sealed off completely, allowing for the chemical fumes to cloud the room with the toxicologist trapped inside. A few seconds pass before his laughter mixes with choking and gasping, clawing at his throat as his oxygen quickly depletes and is replaced with the burning, noxious chemical fumes. He falls to his side with a final choke, a sick grin plastered to his face as his body goes limp and blood begins leaking from his mouth.
Orochi Noh, SHSL Toxicologist, has been executed.
{UPUPU. BEFORE YOU ALL LEAVE, I’VE GOT GIFTS FOR YOU} He pulls out a box that contains several necklaces with small, marble crosses on them.

Remained unconcious the entire time. Props to Yuuka for doing that.
Ray’s just. very worried about small baby Yuuka.
Yuuka: I really hope you can carry her all the way back to her room.
Nicole raises an eyebrow at the necklaces.
Crystal leaves bc she does not give a heck.
Candy takes the necklace and looks at it for a moment before leaving.
Emi: … *is doing their best to hide how shaken they are* C'mon, Nami. *snags a pair for the two of them* Let’s get out of here.
Nami: Hehe… hehehehahaha! *buries her face in their shoulder and allows herself to be dragged out*
Ray: …Where’s this girl supposed to be? I can’t leave her here.
Eirik looks at the necklace curiously before pocketing it and leaves.
AZ takes the necklace and stomps off, with fists-clenched and face red.
Suzie: Ah! Ray, where are you going can I help??
Alex: Takes a necklace and leaves, ready to light another cigarette
Greg hesitantly takes the necklace and puts it on before leaving
Ray carries Yuuka. “Ah, this girl’s room!”
Nicole leaves, she doesn’t want the necklace
Ray: I think I’ve got it, but I’d be really happy if you came along!
Haruko: I still can’t believe someone would smoke tobacco at a time like this.
