THIRD TRIAL

To the court room. Make it quick, alright? I don't really know about any of you but I don't want to waste more time on a couple of bratty teenagers.

[The Queen still is silent as you descend to the court room. There are ten less of you than when you began. The podiums look empty as you go to them. Even if the podiums are getting empty, though, there is a new jury box near the Alices that is rather full... of ghosts of all the participants of the previous round you've discovered and of your dead compatriots. They don't talk but they're there. Judging. Always judging.

There is someone who doesn't notice this addition, though. Queen Alice.

The Queen is quiet but she's next to the Cat. Her head is bowed to her chest as she seems to sleep quietly. Then as movement she jolts up, smiling vaguely as she nods.]


Yes, a tea party--that's what we...need...

[Her head drops back to her chest as she falls asleep again. The Cat glances at her then back at the crowd with agitation.]

Someone is responsible for Lena and Neku's deaths. Do something about it, will you? Why did you even bring one of those ghosts in with you, anyway?

[Trying to think back to his conversation with Lena.]

The poem did say something about casting a spy from her shadow? Maybe that was Lena?

Oh... what if the 'spy' is some kind of shadowy body double?!

[Like Peter Pan's shadow!!]

So maybe both of them could have been acting at the same time?

[EXCITEMENT:]

If she was able to use body doubles, that would have given her a motive to frame Amdi!
battlestations: (beware of pretty faces that you find)

[personal profile] battlestations 2020-10-31 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
What, because they're similar in that regard?
strictura: (all of those french films about trains)

Though I can't be sure, I would assume that once she died, any shadow doubles she controlled would disappear as well. I don't think she would have survived long enough for a shadow to drag her to the water with a gunshot wound in her chest.

Oh. Yeah. The trail and the unused swimsuits are two separate suspicious things.
