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!

suddenly a pocket check

[golden_king]

Okay everyone, upend your pockets for me!

We might as well try to cover all of our bases, right?

[ Gil will come around the few that remain to see what they've got, if anything. ]

[battlestations]

Well............

[His pockets, as always, have SO many gadgets and weapons in them.]

[golden_king]

[ Well... yeah okay he expected that from him.

Nothing was bloody or anything, right? ]

[battlestations]

[Nah, they all look how they did when they were in the pile.]

[xxxx_me]

[Emptying his pockets...

He's already put out the water gun, darts, and soap, so the only thing he has on him is the World Key - a key with a sharp point and a large handle. It seems more like a knife than a key.]

[golden_king]

[ He'll blink, looking at that thing and then at him. ]

...What's that?

[xxxx_me]

It's a key from the Dream. It's... important for getting everyone out, so I've been keeping it with me.

[golden_king]

[ ...well, he'll shrug and give it a look over but nothing more than that. ]

Alright, sounds all good to me, then. I'll ask more later after we get out of this.

[xxxx_me]

[It's not bloody or anything if that helps, although it might have some lint stuck to the pointy part.]

...Okay.

[Behold, Franziska's crop!

That's it.]

[ballooncaged]

[Mizuki capitulates. Her possessions are not limited to a teal glitter pen but nothing is bloody or otherwise immediately suspicious]

[strictura]

[ He's got a safely sheathed pocket knife (which doesn't look like it's been used if you take it out and examine it) in the pocket of his shorts, and some blank folded up paper and a pen in his jacket pocket, because he loves taking notes. ]

[octopups]

[Doggos are nekkid today!]

[nothingposh]

[Ironically for someone who basically just admitted he's a pickpocket, Gavroche's pockets only contain a key and a scrap of paper with names written on it.]

[golden_king]

[ He's got nada in his pockets today; well there was probably a pen or something but no blood in sight. ]
