TRIAL IV

Trial IV

The story presses onward as you gather in this now familiar "courtroom" to deliberate the deaths of two more of your number. By now there's more space for everyone with the population dwindling down to twenty, and by this weekend's end it will dip ever further. But maybe in a time like this more space is needed, though one most always be mindful of the clock.

Adora and Norton Campbell are dead, and the price must be repaid.

[OOC NOTE: Please keep in mind the only mod run checks are those that directly involve a piece of evidence found during the investigation. Those checks that involve player participation will rely on each player's willingless to partake in the check, for the sake of keeping IC choices intact]

[Oh, that's it-]

Tell me, how many people here suspect Forger of murdering Herr Ichimaru? Zat they recognized signs such as trying to kill c-ta after his guilt was revealed? Or seemed raser adamant that it was Herr Yeager who committed the crime, despite no concrete evidence pointing towarts him?

Or, looking back on it, how her shoes vere notably clean? Despite a corpse being outside her door?

If we are to find our culprit, ve can not ignore anysing that coult be suspicious. Even wis our personal doubts.

I recall that the person accusing Yeager for being calm was yourself, yes. It was quite the sight, too.

We are not out of time right now. We have the luxury of going through the crime thoroughly and from every angle. Settling on a culprit literal hours before the voting end based on basic personal hygiene is ridiculous.

And I vill admit it was a mistake on my part. But Forger was one who seemed interested in condemning him-if I overheard correctly, I believe she voted for him as vell.

I am not suggesting we stop everysing and call a vote here and now, du depp. I am stating we can not rule out suspects on mere feelings. If Frau Elizabeth is suspicious in some way, she is on the list of suspects, despite how much I disbelieve it.

Do you understand? Or do you just simply enjoy stating I am incorrect?

I understand your point, but I would also like to ask you to point out when I have said I am ruling her out, because I do not believe I did.

Accusing her is premature. That's all.

I vill answer your question wis a question of my own: when dit I ever accuse Frau Elizabeth?

All I have sait is that she is a possibility, and zat we cannot deny as much, even if we hope she dit not commit zis crime.

[Because he would...really rather not see Yuri die for this?? Don't kill one of the people he likes, he already lost one.]

Then we are going in circles and wasting valuable time now.

Your correction is acknowledged.

[ And this is curt because he doesn't like being wrong either, sorry... ]

Since we all agree that no one is directly accusing anyone of anything, can we perhaps have somewhat less infighting for the time being? Yell at each other when we have a more concrete idea of what's going on.

[ladies

you're both pretty]

[Just. Angry head turn towards someone else-the person currently talking probably. You're lucky he's more interested in finding murderers than he is in continually screaming at someone until one of them admits they are wrong.

~~And you're darn right he's pretty.~~]

[look he's also someone who was not impressed with "you're suspicious because you're calm", this is just counterproductive right now

y'all can be as mad as you want later

maybe be mad at whomever did this?? that seems nice and productive

~~and you're in competition with mcgillis who is unfortunately prettier than anyone here so. grain of salt.~~

If I may... Professor. I believe our time is better spent trying to understand the cause of death itself. We have not fully understood the relation between the poisoning and the stabbing, nor have we completely profiled our killer in this case.

I think your talents may be better spent pursuing the evidence... we can discuss the culprit once we have a more detailed profile.
