fourth trial

[stagemanagers]

[For a fourth time, the doors of the trial room unlock with a loud, echoing click and creak of the doors opening.

The time has come for your fourth trial.

The courtroom looks as it always does, with Hook and Javert's podiums are have been decorated just as the other dead performers are. The added lights cast even more shadows across the room and the chandelier above glitters and hangs ominously overhead. The Balladeer is nowhere to be seen again, presumably waiting behind the curtain to be needed. Once everyone is in position, his voice rings out across the courtroom.]

You guys know what to do. Let's get this over with.

Did any part of him smell of alcohol at all? I mean - frankly, to sniff a dead body is...unorthodox, but still.

[inforapenny]

I mean, it would have been kind of hard to miss, especially with how much liquor everyone else found.

But no, he didn't smell at all like alcohol.

[dechagny]

Then that is incredibly poor planning on the murderer's part. But could that mean that the culprit might smell of alcohol themselves? Or could it simply be a way to throw us off?

[inforapenny]

I mean, maybe, but everyone who found the alcohol will smell like it too, right? So I don't know how effective that'll be.

[dechagny]

Ah - they would, wouldn't they?
