☆ WEEK TWO ( TRIAL - DAY ONE )

[raisingproject]

Trial Day #1

Saturday, Week 2

Victim

Suspects

Rise and shine, sleepyheads. At exactly 8 AM, characters will be automatically teleported to a place rather familiar to them. In fact, it seems that they were sent home! Congratulations, everyone, you've made it to the Good End-- for like, ten minutes, before they're immediately, once again, whisked away to the familiar courtrooms of last week, a world similar to the one they see in their magical phones. Soon enough, Fav, floating in front of a ginormous tree speaks up, grinning.

"April Fool's, pon~!" Because of course it would be a joke to actually send people home. "Don't worry, that joke doesn't cost any mana, so you don't have to worry about the mana drain, pon. As our apology, we'd like to offer you something else in return, pon."

And that offering is a pie in everyone's faces, no exception. "Anyway, jokes aside, today's trial is for the murder of Eliza Owens, otherwise known as Mystic Mirage, pon. You will have a break for dinner and sleep and then the trial will continue tomorrow morning! If you have any questions in regards to this trial, please feel free to let me know, and I'll try to answer it to the best of my abilities, pon! Of course, you're not allowed to ask me who the culprit is, because that would be unfair. So make sure to find the culprit and execute them properly, pon! You wouldn't want to kill an innocent person, would you?"

And now, on their magical phones, characters will finally be able to find the autopsy report as the discussion begins. At 8 PM, everyone will be dismissed to have dinner and go back to their rooms.

17 REMAIN

Everyone,

This is Kurosawa Dia speaking. I am still here. Sentient, I suppose. So is Beyond Birthday, and Eliza-san has joined us as well. I am not sure what is happening here, but we do have other people here who are here with us. They are more like shadows, static, if you will...and I suppose you could say that the three of us are like ghosts.

The town is generally the same, but everything seems fuzzier here.

I will do my best to expose any mysteries from this side and keep you all updated when I can. Good luck on your next trial. Hopefully one of you will be able to write back to us somehow; it would be convenient to have communication between our two sides.

Sincerely,
Kurosawa Dia

[wait, what--]

Hey, everyone, you should come read this!

[... Though in Zack's case, she'll read it to him if needed.]

[crossingout]

Hm? What is it, Eruna-chan?

[ Since clearly this will be one of the few times that Zange will speak up this trial due to being a mod played character... ]

[ladiesfirst]

This letter's from Dia--she says that herself, Ryuzaki, and now Eliza-chan are still here, but like, as ghosts now?

[Here Zange, she'll let you take the letter to read for yourself.]

[crossingout]

[ She takes the letter and reads it carefully for a moment and then: ]

How do we know this letter is legitimate?

[ladiesfirst]

[Good question]

Maybe... if we write a letter back, we should ask a question that only the dead would be able to answer?

[Who knew one of the three well enough to think of something personal that they might have mentioned before dying?]

[hawthorned]

I don't think such a question exists. As Miss M has demonstrated with the arcade, there doesn't seem to be anything that Miss Dia could answer that would exclude the possibility of others having answered it in her name.

[crossingout]

Not to mention the fact that I doubt any of us have seen Dia-chan's handwriting before... unless someone has?

[theotherother]

...so she's stuck here with that guy? That's...

[Don't mind the interruption, he's just trying to wrap his head around how messed up this is.]

[selfloving]

[Good thing there's that fountain in the header image so she can wash this pie off of her face.

She comes over to look at the letter, getting out of Eruna's personal space as soon as possible.]

Zange is right. We don't know. This could be another prank, and even less humorous than the first. How likely are we to be able to verify this? [She's willing to try, at least.]

[mikooon]

[skdnkdnek what]

I knew it! She wasn't given a proper burial and is forced to wander the material realm forever!!

[fancy way of saying 'she haunting our asses bro']

[breakingthrough]

...should we try writing a letter back?

[If this one got here, there should be some way to get one back, ideally... right?]

[mikooon]

Ah, well... there's several ways to send a message to the dearly departed. In this strange world, I suppose at least one should still work.

[MIKO MODE ACTIVATE]

The first way is to float it to them on lanterns. Another is to burn the letter we write for them.
