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!

...I guess it's also possible that they just turned on the water in there without really using it, right? Because then we'd be looking specifically for someone who smelled clean.

We know the water gun wasn't used as a water gun, so that means they probably had to use water to wash something off, doesn't it?

Rinsing something off in the sink is different from taking a shower, though.

Interesting point. It would be somewhat pitiful if we caught the criminal that way a third time, wouldn't it?

[strictura]

By this point, you'd hope everyone would think to account for that.

We'll see what happens? But I think the culprit wanted to both not smell like blood and also just... be as clean as a regular person.
