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. ]]

[ nothing at note! maybe a little musky from david just flopping into bed after working out ]

[sixhearted]

[Gross! Anyway, Jester is also going to go check the bathroom to look for signs of concealed or washed away evidence. Hows it look in here?]

[nomither]

[ david has spent time here! well used, because even if he jumps into bed without showering, he will at least shower when he wakes up.

not signs of washed away blood stains or anything like that]

[sixhearted]

[UGH why is this room gross AND boring!!! There's nothing in the trash or anything?

If not he's going to go back out into the main room and open the wardrobe.]

[nomither]

[ this outfit stand out ]

[sixhearted]

[HELP WHAT IS THIS.

Does it just stand out because it's horrible? It's not like. Bloodstained or anything?]

[nomither]

[ excuse it is good!!!

but no bloodstains, but there is a faint smell of blood. actually every piece of clothing, including the dirty ones on the floor, even if there’s no blood on them ]

[sixhearted]

[OK BUT HOW FRESH DOES THE BLOOD SMELL.]

[nomither]

[ its a persistent smell, like something that has been on the clothes a lot. like someone who wears the same cologne all the time and their clothes just always have that faint smell now ]

[sixhearted]

[Oh cool just like Jester!! Anyway that's fine then, not suspicious in regards for this specific murder.]

Subaru! Do you have a lighter on you?

[victorypose]

What? Why?

[sixhearted]

I'm going to destroy this awful suit.

[victorypose]

That’s his stuff, you can’t just -

[Nevermind. He’s looking at it now. Luckily, he’d pinched one of those safety gas lighters to set up a campfire and never gave it back. He tosses it to Jester.]

I’ll consider it a good deed. You’re saving him from himself.

[sixhearted]

A reasonable response from you, for once.
[He'll take the suit out of the closet and set it on fire before tossing it on the floor. Fukcing bye.]

Did you find anything suspicious? His clothes smell of blood, but it's faint and pervasive enough that I don't think it has to do with this incident.

[victorypose]

I’ll try to take that as a compliment.

[Subaru watches the suit go up in flames. There it goes]

I didn’t find anything either. He clearly has a grudge against whoever those toys are based on, but I don’t think that has anything to do with this case.

[sixhearted]

Mm. It seems this investigation is a bust, at least it potentially rules one suspect out...

[He reaches out to grab Subaru by the front of his shirt.]

But there's no one here to put their money where your mouth is now, you know? None of those women here to cover for you. Did you really think this plan through?

[victorypose]

[Subaru’s grabbed pretty easily, though he quickly reaches for Jester’s hand to try to pry it off. He does try, above all, to keep his Cool.]

Hey, now - aren’t you forgetting about someone?

[sixhearted]

[Oh right... the guttersnipe.... Jester leans in next to Subaru's neck sexily, fangs milimeters from his throat.]

Consider this a warning. Next time you'll not have someone to call out to save you.
[And he drops Subaru before just fucking walking out of David's tent. Someone should probably put out the fire before they leave.]

[victorypose]

[Instead of processing that, Subaru’s gonna …do something about that fire so that the tent doesn’t burn down. He’ll be cursing Jester all the while, though.]
