FIFTH TRIAL

[whimsicalism]

Is everyone finished? Good. It's time for a trial.

[The ride to the court room is uneventful this time. There's no breaking of bones or porcelain when you land. The podiums are rather empty, especially now that there's only twenty portraits even if there's twenty one podiums still. Huh. Fancy that! It's almost as if the Storyteller was still bitter.

Though, there definitely feels something off about the court room. It sort of feels like you're being watched but you're not sure.]

Seven is Dead. Time to find out who's responsible. Time for a trial!

Scratches inside? I think they used the water gun as a dart gun.

[xxxx_me]

-Huh?

[This is mostly because that didn't even occur to him rather than doubting her words.]

[ballooncaged]

Well, was there any real dart gun in there? Because then the culprit wouldn't need it. But... we have a gun that someone put something tiny and scratchy inside, and we have pierced eyes. Makes sense to me.

eye scream maybe?

[xxxx_me]

That's true... But if they used it to hit him in the eyes, doesn't that mean their aim is really good?

[And also. He touched darts that might have touched eyes. Yikes!]

[ballooncaged]

I'm saying that if there was a real dart gun in the hunting lodge – I didn't look – my dart-water-gun theory makes no sense. But otherwise it's what I think so far.

Anyway, good aim with hand darts and a gun is different, right?

[xxxx_me]

Yeah... I never knew how to use a gun, and I don't think I've played darts before, either. I don't think my aim would be very good.

[He's a noodly nerd.]

[battlestations]

We do still have kids left who are good with guns, though.

[like he is one himself, but he feels pretty confident in his alibi with Amdi]

[xxxx_me]

[Actually, since he's got all of them, can he try putting the darts into the watergun to see if they fit and might cause scratches consistent with what's already there?]

[whimsicalism]

[He sure can. Doing so will make some new scratches of the same sort.]

[xxxx_me]

It really was used as a dart gun...

[whimsicalism]

[He can also see the flights bend.]
