SECOND TRIAL

[despairection]

[Callie Kubodera is dead. The SHSL Squidol is no longer a kid, and is a dead squid now. Any one of these 12 campers could be responsible.

Three podiums now stand empty. Two more portraits have joined Mac's. Pittoo and Callie gaze out at their classmates, depicted in monochrome coloring and splattered pink X's across their faces.

They'll have to comb through their collected evidence to find the truth. Will the culprit be found and executed? Or will the rest of the campers face a grisly fate?

12 students remain.]



[Let the class trial in the murder of Callie Kubodera...begin.]

Your arm. How did that get there?

1/2

[hopelessnecromantic]

How did I get wh--

[He takes a look at the back of his arm, a place where if something had stained there, it wouldn't be as immediately noticeable to him.]

2/2

[hopelessnecromantic]

...

[If it was possible for someone with completely stark white skin to somehow go even paler, he does right now.
There's no expression on his face. It's as blank as it gets.]

[superstylishschism]

[Shink! Despite Shadow's hand on his arm, Alastor's claws still extend. My, aren't they sharp looking?]

[tsungeonsanddragons]

[Funny thing about screens: you can hear everything on the other side.]

BETRAYUS, EXPLAIN YOURSELF RIGHT NOW BEFORE I KNOCK THIS SCREEN OVER AND STRANGLE YOU!

[fitnessenthusiast]

Breathing is essential to living. Losing the ability to live would be unfortunate.

[She's trying to be threatening too.]

[sunflowerfields]

Please, can everyone put their clothes back on first?

[totaldrag]

I already have.

[Yep, and there she is. Putting her dress back on.]

[shslancer]

[Have Neph holding you back.]

N-no stranglin'!

[tsungeonsanddragons]

[NO HOLDING BACK. ONLY EXPLANATIONS AND POSSIBLE MURDER NOW.]

[lavenza]

[Elizabeth had just finished zipping her dress back up and fixing her pantyhose when she hears the commotion]

You found something over there?

[superstylishschism]

We found our ink-stained killer, is what we found.

[hopelessnecromantic]

[Sharp enough to snap Betrayus out of his stunned stupor for a moment, allowing him to get hurriedly get his clothes back on. He's extremely frazzled, running out from behind the screen the moment he's dressed again.]

[superstylishschism]

[Bad move. Betrayus taking off draws Alastor's attention away from the armor he has yet to put back on and he's chasing after with a rather vicious smirk.]

Oh no, you're not getting away that easy. You've gotta explain what we found to everyone here, after all.

[tsungeonsanddragons]

[Alastor's got one side, Clair can get the other. Admittedly it's pretty hard to be scary in a one piece, but to her credit she pulls it off pretty well.]

Wrong. You're not getting away at all. Now explain.

1/2

[hopelessnecromantic]

[Welp, there's a demon and a dragon lady in his way now, forcing him to stop dead in his tracks. He's still really, REALLY shaken up, but at least he's able to speak, no matter how nerve-wracked.]

Y-Yes, I can explain! Let me... explain...

2/2

[hopelessnecromantic]

[As he trails off, his face goes completely bank again, before something in him finally... snaps.
It's so striking and sudden you can almost hear it. His mouth twists into a psychotic grin. His eyes go wide but his pupils shrink.
There's no other way to say it. He looks, and now sounds, absolutely insane.]

Explain why all of you should LET ME WIN!

[fitnessenthusiast]

Okay, please explain!

[theothersissel]

[Yomiel just looks at this and looks into the camera like on The Office and just speaks, in the most deadpan of tones:]

Annnnnnd here we go.

[green_mario]

[YOU SEE THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER TRUST GHOSTS.]

[lavenza]

No thank you.

[superstylishschism]

Whatever reason you're gonna claim you've got, it's not good enough.

Now, how about we find out how true your claims of being nigh invincible even without powers really were?

[Vicious, vicious smile.]

[lavenza]

[when Elizabeth sees who it is....... hahahhaha figures]

I wonder, is this why he was so quick to insist on Ashley?

[shslancer]

[Nephenee's in the way too, thankfully mostly clothed.]

Makes sense...make her a scapegoat, deflect blame an' suspicion...

[lavenza]

And then hasten the trial so that we don't think things through and come to where we are now.
