SIXTH TRIAL

[splitaseam]

[The whole trial thing must feel like the norm to everyone right now, and one can't help but wonder if this will keep happening until everyone has died.

There are three new epitaphs for Star Butterfly, Maui, and Fiddleford.

Here lies Star Butterfly
One of our most toughest girls
Went out with a pretty twirl

Here lies Maui
Claimed to be a great demigod
But it turns out he was a fraud

Here lies Fiddleford McGucket
He tried to wipe his mind
And ended up getting left behind

Well you all know what to do by now, huh?]

Don't spare any of the gory details.

[UUUUUGGGGGHHHH]

What is happening today?!

Hey, easy there, all of you. We don't know much of anything off one smudged fingerprint, and just asking folks what they were doing isn't going to get us anywhere.

I know it's rough, but let's take a step back and try looking at it a different way, okay?

[chainbroke]

A different way...?

[ What other way is there? ]

[aboyandhiscar]

Well...don't know exactly, but okay, sure there's a fingerprint. But there's gotta be more to it, yeah? Just because someone touched a journal doesn't mean they also know how to mix stuff together to cause an explosion and put out fires--chemical fires, at that, from the sounds of it.

And heck, we don't even know if any of us has actually done anything. Could be all a set up.

Let's try getting a bigger picture, then narrowing it down from there.

[...She sighs, pulling herself back from the panic attack she had been working towards.]

You're right. But this is like, way too weird to ignore, we gotta keep this in mind.

[aboyandhiscar]

Have any of these trials not been weird? Someone was turned into a rug last week. We can't take anything on face value anymore.
