THE FOURTH TRIAL

[despairection]

[Who is Goombriel Gambaldi? Why should the campers have any reason to care about his death? This is a question that must be answered, as the campers are summoned to a trial.

 

Portraits of Clair and Yomiel have appeared in the courtroom - with an additional portrait of Goombaldi slapped next to Yomiel's.

 

Will the collected evidence spill out the truth? Or will this mystery remain unsolved?

 

8 students remain.]

 

 

[Let the class trial in the murder of Goombriel Gambaldi...begin.]

At the very least she's tryin' to say Ah walked barefoot in the snow.

Last Ah checked, Ah didn't get frostbite. Pretty sure Alastor an' Mom can confirm that.

Ah'm a furnace, but not 'nuff o'one to not get frostbitten toes from walkin' without shoes in the snow.

She was pretty cold, but it looked like it was just from the water running over her. I looked her over for injuries, and there was nothing wrong with her feet.

[monoguests]

...oh, yeah, that was stupid. Yeah, it... probably wasn't you unless you had a different pair of shoes or something.

...

Yeah, you totally put on the boots that were in the garage!

[superstylishschism]

She still would've had to walk through the snow to get to the garage.

Ah didn't e'en get into the ice world on my run today. Ah almost went in, but it felt too cold, even for me.

[She's too focused to think about being looked over for injuries, thankfully.]

If you're so sure it's me, tell me what ya think Ah did, start to finish. Don't forget to say why ya think Ah did it, too.

.................

Okay, so you got Goombriel out of storage... wherever... ...I don't know, maybe Monobear had him stashed in one of those hidden passages or something.

And then you... wait, aren't you supposed to kill him? Aw, darn, I had this great thing planned where you'd take your boots off and then realize your feet were cold and then... you know... go in and find the boots... and put them on... but yeah. He's still totally dead.

... You really can't talk your way outta this, can you?

[Because now this is just getting sad.]

[shslancer]

[Nephenee slams a hand down on her shared podium. Finally!]

He was already dead! So no, Ah couldn't've killed him!

[That riled moment over, she straightens up, nodding to Luigi.]

She stopped bein' able to awhile back. Don't deflect your crime onto me to worm outta punishment ya shoulda faced already, Clarice.

[Her battlereadiness has been up for quite some time now, and it's not going down until this farce is over. Even trying to soften, there's steel underneath.]

Where'd ya find his body?

[monoguests]

...He put it out.

[green_mario]

... You mean Monobear, right?

[Judging by his tone, it's less like a question and more of a confirming statement.]

[monoguests]

Well, duh. Who else would? The Tooth Fairy?
