Trial Day #2

Sunday, Week 2

Victim

Suspects

Today is decisively different from yesterday; while music wakes up everyone, they're not immediately brought to the trial area. Not yet.

"Today, we will start off with room searches, pon. All of the suspects' rooms are now open, pon. Today is the last day for the trial of Eliza Owens, pon. So make sure you vote carefully. Abstaining is not allowed this week."

Access to voting on their magical phones is now available, along with a warning for characters to vote, as it closes at 8 PM.

[enthrallingly]

[Seraphina is not any more excited about having to work this hard over a murder today, but at the very least she knows that if she has to? She's going to enjoy searching the men's rooms.

Besides. No way in hell is she going to let Zack fuck this up.]

[perfectbeing]

[Please don't let Zack tear his room apart, Seraphina.

At a glance, Szayel's room is seemingly immaculate. He has kept it nice and tidy, not a crease to be seen in his freshly-made bed.

Where would you guys like to search first?]

[enthrallingly]

[Fear not. She is here to do just that.

And see, this is just one of the things that separates useless apes like Zack from classy men like Szayelapporo. She greatly approves.

She supposes she'll start with the table and closet See what kind of things, if any, he keeps in this beautiful room of his.]

[perfectbeing]

[Searching Szayel's closet doesn't reveal much. There are a few extra towels in there and any other items provided by the inn itself, but nothing unique.

On the table though, Seraphina will find a notebook with a few pens and pencils neatly placed beside it. They can be recognized as having originated from the middle school.

>Investigate the notebook?]

[enthrallingly]

[As expected. Everything appears as it should be.

But a notebook? Well she's absolutely all about prying. It's the demon way.

...Seraphina will absolutely make herself comfortable lounging on his bed while she flips through that.

Fear not. She will absolutely leave everything as good as, if not better, than she found it when she's done.]

[perfectbeing]

[Unfortunately, unless Seraphina is interested in scientific observations, this notebook is going to be incredibly dry. It seems to be the start of an ongoing investigation of the impurity, which Szayel talked about doing in his alibi. There are descriptions of the impurity itself along with some known facts that Kyuubey bothered to give at that announcement meeting, as well as some basic hypotheses on its existence.

Simply put, it's not exactly helpful for the trial itself, but it does prove he was doing what he said he was doing on Thursday. The entries are dated and there is a date for Thursday.]

[zackthekiller]

[Once Zack is done checking the bathroom, he's gonna wander to where Seraphina is and look over her shoulder.]

What's this say?

[enthrallingly]

[...her perfect paradise. Ruined. Seraphina scowls.]

Nothing you'd understand.

[Sighing, she puts it back.]

It was his detailed analysis on the impurity that appeared in the town as well as the claims of that ugly white mascot creature that appeared this week.

[zackthekiller]

[Sorry, demon girl, Zack's gon a ruin your paradise.]

When was the last entry dated?

[enthrallingly]

Naturally it was last updated on Thursday.

[Naturally according to who, exactly? Only you Seraphina.]

He was very intent on discovering the true nature of those nasty things that showed up in town. It's all very scientific and on point.

[...at least she assumes so.]

[enthrallingly]

[Alibi indeed. At the very least it proves to be the sort of thing you can't just throw together to protect yourself. It's very thorough. It's about as good as anything she could have expected out of a murder investigation. Science may not be her thing but she does love a useful man.

She puts it back and pulls herself out of bed-- straightening it up again before double checking the room to make sure there are no nooks and crannies she missed.

Hate it as she might she'll look at the trash just to make sure there's nothing significant in there.]

[perfectbeing]

[There are a few empty water bottles and some packages of the less-unhealthy snacks in the trash, but nothing damning.

Since Seraphina was on his bed though, it might be worth checking that out a little more closely. Specifically, she might have noticed something shuffling while straightening it out...]

[enthrallingly]

[...well then. She can remake it later. Let's just take a closer look at that and see what that was, shall we...]

[perfectbeing]

[There's a second notebook under the mattress. Y-Yay for more reading...

>Investigate this one too?]

[enthrallingly]

[...well she can't say she's surprised, even if she had hoped for something a little more... exciting.

Might as well get comfortable on the bed again if she has to do more reading.

What does this one hold for her?]

[zackthekiller]

[Mind if Zack joins you? He's wanting a bedtime story trying to investigate too!]

[enthrallingly]

[As long as you just stand there and don't get in her way, she will probably allow you to exist in the same space.

But don't you even think about trying to get on the bed too. She claimed it first.]

[perfectbeing]

[The very first page reads: "Made you look."

...

Okay, I'm not that terrible.

But since it was well-hidden, it's probably a bit more personal, right? And that seems to be the case, considering it details his observations about the situation itself. It's written a bit more loosely and informally. While he might have shared his impurity notes with others, this seems to be something he wouldn't necessarily let others look through.

There are also opinions of various participants. Most notably, he doesn't seem to think very highly of Renji (whom he seems to personally know), Kaine, Zack and Zange. Opinions of Eliza, Tamamo and Recette are very mixed.

Is this a fucking burn book??]

[enthrallingly]

[...it absolutely looks that way. Interesting. Now this is more her style of reading! Although it could do with a few embellishments. A little romance, some drama--

Recette's name being there is plot twist enough she supposes. It'll have to do.

The important thing is that Zack's name is where it belongs.

Even so, she's going to read it to the end-- just for lack of anything better to be doing. It's not like she's supposed to be looking for signs of a murderer or anything...]

[perfectbeing]

[As for the rest of the participants, many don't receive significant ratings, and Beyond Birthday's name is simply crossed out, probably because he was the culprit of the last murder. Miach, Dia, Dahlia and One receive "acceptable" ratings, though Dia's name is also crossed out and "Despite walking a very thin line." is written beside One's rating.

That's pretty much everything of note in the book, and aside from those two things, there isn't anything left to find in his room. His only other personal belonging remains at his hip, after all.]

[zackthekiller]

[... You do that, Zack's gonna start searching all the cabinets and drawers for anything of note. Don't guarantee he'll put everything back.]

[zackthekiller]

[Are you sure you're not related to that weird doctor guy?]

[Zack's gonna start looking through the bathroom first. Maybe Szayel's hiding something in there?]

[perfectbeing]

[Is it a crime to be tidy, Zack?

Szayel's bathroom is as clean as the main area of the room, and there doesn't seem to be anything out of place in there.]

[zackthekiller]

[He's gonna root through the cabinets and stuff before he goes to check on Seraphina.]

[perfectbeing]

[There isn't really anything of note in the cabinets, other than basic supplies that the inn would have provided.

But yes, that is a good plan. While Szayel's room may be clean, it's not entirely devoid of personal belongings.]
