second trial

[Just as with last week, once the investigation finishes, that slow, ominous sound from the main lobby rumbles through the opera house.

The doors to the court room have opened and the time has come for a trial.

The court room looks just as it did before: the grand chandelier glittering above your heads, the fine red velvet seats. In the orchestra pit your circle of wooden podiums awaits you, just the same as before save for a few recent additions. Like Valjean before them, D-ne, Gabe, and Hime's podiums have been draped in black crepe with their greyscale funerary portraits. Behind them, where the performers themselves stood only a week ago, a metal pole stands with a softly glowing lightbulb atop it.

The curtain is closed, waiting to open when a decision has been reached and an execution can commence.

When everyone is in their places, the Balladeer's voice echoes loud and clear through the theatre. He still sounds slightly bewildered by all of this.]


Okay, everyone, you all know how this works now. Trial rules are the same, still no time limit, just...keep at it until you figure out what happened. You can do this.

They might have thought that, once confirmed to be a decoy, we might have deemed it simply a decoy. I was the one who discovered it was fake, and in honesty, I do not know if I would have thought to check it myself.

[Thank goodness there are other smart people over here.]

It seems to be a bit early to assume anything just yet. Whether it was a decoy or not, it was an object left there. What else did we learn about it?

["we" oh my god]

The dress it was in was from the costume shop, as well as the wig and the dummy head, which came from the prop room, I believe. So the killer must have been running around quite a bit to pull it all together.

The biggest find was the stunt cow, which was hiding under the dress as if it were the dummy's "legs."

It seems like an awful lot of effort to go through even if it was to hide the cow. Perhaps it was meant as a distraction, to throw us off as we discuss everything we found?

It's certainly possible. It did a good job of distracting us, everyone immediately assumed the worse when they saw two "bodies" laying side by side.

It certainly would draw attention, possibly away from other evidence...

[man it's a good thing we've got an evidence list, huh]
