The show starts with not a bang, but smoke, and the exit of Diluc and Fujino stage left. Once everyone's had some time to poke around the circus and examine what happened last night, Joker calls everyone to the Main Tent. (Those who would try to ignore the summons will find themselves magically rerouted no matter how hard they try.)

Inside the stands look much like they did over the week, although spotlights are trained on some of the profiles in particular. Twelve of them, actually.

In the middle on the raised platform, Joker stands with Gina, grinning ear to ear.





[[Welcome to your first trial! You will have 8 hours (8PM EST) to find out whodunnit. You may vote for any of the suspects at anytime prior to the end of trial, and you are free to change your vote as many times as you like.

About halfway through the trial, there will be the opportunity for room searches for four(4) of the suspects. ]]

[Listen he's not bothering to learn the names of you peons.]

Wouldn't the puddle for that be under where they fell? We have the problem to solve of how 100 pounds of ice was moved without leaving drag marks, and there's a puddle where the car tracks start. It's possible this ridiculous vehicle was used to move the ice that was wrapped up in the tarp.

[mousquetaires]

Oh, you could be right about that. It may appear very small on the outside, but on the inside, it's actually about the size of a limousine. If it was an ordinary car, you probably wouldn't be able to fit five blocks of ice into the backseat...but in that one, you'd have plenty of room.

But if there are tracks that lead from Double A into the lake...is there a reason why there wouldn't be similar tracks, that lead from the Ice Top to Double A?

[sixhearted]

[Jester frowns.]

... I can't see why there wouldn't, unless the ground is harder there so it wouldn't leave tracks. Even if the clown card wasn't used to transport them, I still suspect the puddle to be the remnants of the lost ice.

[mousquetaires]

Now that I think about it, the Ice Top and Double A are right next to each other, as well...

[walktodeath]

So they did have the strength or otherwise the ability to bring the ice over and then used the car to carry it further?

[mousquetaires]

It's certainly not impossible. I've carried thirty kilograms of fertilizer to school, before. That's much further than the distance between the two tents...

[ ... ]

[doored]

...If they did load the ice blocks into the car, what would be the point? Were they trying to add weight to the car to keep it moving on its own?

[walktodeath]

Is the way from the Doube A tent to the lake downhill?

[mousquetaires]

It's not quite a straight line, is it? Perhaps I'm wrong, but if you were to move in a straight line from Double A, towards the lake...wouldn't you hit another tent, first?

[ The circus is flat. ]

[fellcrest]

[ don't mind robin also consulting his mind palace since i didn't really ask to clarify yesterday, but.

since it was just the wheels and down submerged in the pond to my understanding, when the modtag in invest said further searching of the interior turns up nothing, does uh. that mean the interior was damp, wet, or dry? ]

[wringmaster]

[ The clown car was crashed into the pond but not fully submerged, so robin, minato and raven were able to open the door to the clown without water coming into the interior.

The interior was dry. (Unless any of them dripped water onto it). ]
