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!

Or when... you're trying to put them into something that won't let them in, like the dart gun!

[nothingposh]

.......... But if it's a gun for darts, why wouldn't the darts fit?

[ballooncaged]

It was a water gun that's broken now and has all these little scratches inside.

I'm not sure the darts ever did fit in the end, but I do think the only explanation for the water gun's current condition is at least trying to put the darts in it.

[nothingposh]

........ Seems like it'd be easier to just put poison in it, shoot that.

[battlestations]

And what, ask Seven to say "aaaah" first?

[nothingposh]

Don't need to ingest a poison, works slower through skin but still work. Besides, shoot it into someone's eyes and it's dual purpose.

[battlestations]

Yikes. [He's got a point though.]

Thinking back to the second case, I think you're the only one left who knows enough about poison to try that, but if it was you, you'd know we knew you knew.

[nothingposh]

Also wouldn't try shooting darts out of a gun for water.

[...at first she was thinking about one thing but then something else hits her and. god. it's so weird]

I'm not sure that Seven even could be poisoned. Like... he ate paper.

[imozon]

Is paper poisonous?

[That doesn't sound right, but she doesn't know enough about... anything at all to dispute it.]

[ballooncaged]

No.....................

I..........

..................................okay, maybe if he were human, he would still eat paper.

[HE WAS

SO

HIMSELF]

[imozon]

So maybe he could still be poisoned.

[This is clearly a very useful line of discussion.]
