Rise and shine, sleepyheads, because today's going to be a doozy. The suspects are revealed and not only that, Fav has unlocked their rooms for today. "We'll start off strong with the room investigations, pon. After that, we'll start off the trial, pon!"

Of course, once they're at the trial, a certain song will be playing on loop. Why.

[KDNWKDJ MOEKA...

In any case! Off to read she goes. Other than containing bright, happy and cute illustrations of Tamamo, there are several articles that all seem to read like a gossip magazine for housewives. If Moeka decides to make it past the... general strangeness of it all, there’s pages on how to cook all kinds of Japanese-Chinese-Indian-Western meals at once, how to ‘bump off’ (?!) rivals for your hubby’s love, and all the skills that a true miko shrine maiden has... Tamamo’s skills are shaded in bold, and written in very big font.

“Cook, clean, and completely crush, what can’t Tamamo do? Not only is she a fighter, but her Noble Phantasm is one of the strongest healing spells any Servant has! She’s an all-rounder no one can best!”

Uh... continue reading?]

ZACK'S RANT

[zackthekiller]

Ugh...

Alright, after talking to Sera last night and finding that mirror in the river, I think I'm just gonna be honest about everything. It's gonna sound fucked up, but I think we can all agree that last trial was a huge clusterfuck and nobody wants that again...

[Deep breath...]

Some bitch stole my kill.

There, I said it. Someone was fucking around with my kill. Before you go screaming at me for killing poor little Nanami, I have a valid excuse. It was dark, I was still pissed about Eliza's killer getting off scot-free, and she looked like a ceritan pink-haired nutcase from behind.

[He's calling you out, Suzy.]

And Sera? Well, I have this huge problem when it comes to killing people. Like, I get a rush out of people screaming for mercy as I go after them, and something in my brain decided to tell me, "Hey, you're riled up! That means everyone you see in this room is fair game!" Sera was in the way, so she got slashed!

If nobody messed with my kill... And, I dunno, I managed to kill the right guy instead of some gamer girl, I wouldn't mind offing myself before that M bitch got a chance to throw me in her custom made torture chamber. But NO! Someone had to be an asshole and fuck everything up.

Also, for the record, I was cutting people up with my scythe. Not a mirror, a SCYTHE. Anyone who saw that "training dummy" in my room would know what a corpse I mauled with a scythe SHOULD look like. So how does a corpse go from being cut to shreds to getting bruised all over with her face smashed in?! I don't fucking know! I can't magically heal people like that!

[zackthekiller]

The sad thing is, I can actually confirm this.

[enthrallingly]

I can confirm the weapon and the attack. He's telling the truth.

[Who knew. They were on the same side for once.]

And just like I thought... he was gone before I came to.

[zackthekiller]

Yeah, I kind of fucked off to the hospital after I thought you were good and dead.

It was nearby, ok?

[enthrallingly]

[YEAH AND SHE'S FINE WITH THAT.]

That's fine for your average housewife. But then I guess that's as much as you are.

[zackthekiller]

...

That sounds so wrong.

[crossingout]

[ And now that Zack's confessed, Zange doesn't get mad. No, she's professional. She won't make the same mistake as before. She's an idol and a goddess, so instead she just smiles. ]

Even if you're not the killer, you're an idiot. If you don't get killed, I'll deal with punishing you for your sins later. [ Okay, correction: she doesn't get visibly angry. ]

[crossingout]

Perhaps you're just taking it in the wrong way. I haven't said anything that's wrong or incorrect.

[enthrallingly]

Thank you very much.

[Who knew this day would come? Not her.]

[enthrallingly]

Ah. So that's why you didn't know your crime scene was tampered with. Not only were we both saved, all the wounds you caused were gone and Nanami was killed again.

Meanwhile I just got knocked unconscious.

[zackthekiller]

[You wouldn't be the first person he met who was like that.]

Save the punishment for after we get out of this hellhole, okay?

[Does she want to end up like B? Huh? Does she?]

[zackthekiller]

[Zack kind of admitted to getting himself wrapped up in this mess. Does he count as an evidence now?]

A SUMMARY

[hawthorned]

As I'm aware of them, the facts of the case so far are as follows. Yesterday, Miss Eruna found Miss Nanami and an unconscious Miss Seraphina in the dollhouse. Miss Seraphina can confirm this herself, but other than a blow to the stomach that had left a bruise, she was unharmed. She was holding a broken mirror shard in her hand. Of note, Miss Seraphina was not transformed at the time.... though I suppose, we only know if being unconscious will also revert someone to an untransfomed state.

I can confirm that Miss Nanami was found as the autopsy report described. There were mirror shards in her face that matched the ones found in Miss Seraphina's hand. Miss Miach assembled the shards at the scene and she was able to put together and incomplete mirror. Later, Zack found another broken mirror in the river and it appears that they were originally the same mirror.

As for the crime scene itself, there was a significant amount of blood that had pooled around Miss Nanami that had also spatteed the ceiling. Curiously, neither Miss Nanami nor Miss Seraphina had any blood on the bottoms of their shoes. There were several gashes on the dolls in the immediate vicinity of the crime, but the dolls further away from the scene did not appear to be damaged.

If anyone has any thoughts of amendments to offer, please step forward to share them.

[mikooon]

[i would be too tbh

Tamamo just... kinda stares for a moment, before getting up--]

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! In all of SERAPH, I am the one and true best housewife for Hakuno Kishinami, and no one else in the universe can ever say otherwise!!

[ELIZA'S SPIRIT, HOLD HER BACK]

[zackthekiller]

Oh, good for you! You lived!

Now how the fuck do wounds magically seal up when you're not looking? That makes no fucking sense.

[crossingout]

I'll just wait until after this trial's over. I doubt I'll see you again if we left this place. I have a town to save, after all.

[ Oh, she's definitely not going to end up like B. She's not stupid, after all. ]

[mikooon]

Broken mirror!?

[Tamamo looks visibly shocked.]

Could it be--?! Where is it, did you put it on the evidence table?

[zackthekiller]

... How old is Taki again? Twelve? And you're, what? 15?

[zackthekiller]

Hey, Tamamo! Was that your mirror I found broken to peices in the river?

[crossingout]

I'm older than what it states on my profile [ because she's a goddess, although believing her is a different story ] but I'm physically sixteen, yes. Taiki-kun is fourteen. That's not a big gap.

And again: you're misconstruing what I said. Not that it matters to me.

[mikooon]

B-b-broken to pieces...?!

[She stutters and actually turns a little pale.] Broken? It's broken!? Where is it!?

[zackthekiller]

I think Dahlia put it on the evidence table? She and Taki were there when I found it.

[zackthekiller]

... Whatever.

[He's just gonna drop it.]

[enthrallingly]

Someone had to have healed our wounds. But I don't have any power like that. I had to have been either Nanami or Tamamo.
