Fifth Trial, Day One

Week 6, Day 1 ‹ Trial ›

Saturday

victim

suspects

The time has come once more, to slip away from reality and immerse themselves in the courtroom of dreams. This time that trip happens to be into a very literal courtroom. The dolls are given spaces at the defense and prosecution's desks; facing one another. There is a table between them which contains the case's evidence.

Black, faceless spectors watch from the gallery, chanting for justice. You can hear-- among the garbled cries-- the names of all the suspects. Yuri, Rean, Merciless, Mitsuko and Mikami, as well as cries for Sting, the victim.

Naturall, Sheepy takes her place at the head of the court as their presiding Judge. Out comes the gavel and she starts banging it on the desk. The gallery slowly quiets and the courtroom becomes eerily silent, save for the sound of Sheepy's voice.

"All right, settle down... settle down~~ Court is now in session for the murder of Sting. Who is the culprit? It's time for us to find out~!"

Then why confess when you could have gotten away with it? Not that I'm complaining.

[sockmongoose]

As I said, suspicion was falling squarely upon me. I decided that I would appeal to others' morals.

[blacksock]

...That was definitely a mistake.

[whowearsthesocks]

It was. You should have kept your mouth shut but live for the moment or die, I suppose.

[blacksock]

Emphasis on die here, I'm afraid!

[whowearsthesocks]

[Snrk.]

[sockmongoose]

Was it? I suppose it might have been. [The doll sounds dispirited.] I though a persuasive plead to their better natures...

[blacksock]

Oh well, live and learn, right! Oh wait, you won't be doing much of either!

[sockmongoose]

...I do not like your flippancy. I far prefer the ones condemning me. At least they had moral convictions.

[blacksock]

Oh no, I can't believe a murderer doesn't like me!

[...]

I really don't care what your opinion is of me. I'm just glad this is over.

[sockmongoose]

You are not the first to call me a murderer.

[whowearsthesocks]

Admittedly I only threw you under the bus last week because you had been there but this week... I knew you were trying to do the same.

[sockmongoose]

...You are a wicked person. Or bear as the case might be.

[whowearsthesocks]

Bears live for the moment. Bears eat people. I have done nothing 'wicked'.

[sockmongoose]

You are capable of though and speech, therefore you are capable of morality. I will judge you as wicked.

[whowearsthesocks]

You can't claim that the same morality applies to both humans and bears.

[sockmongoose]

Morality is universal.

[whowearsthesocks]

I said same. You can't blame a salmon for swimming or a bird for flying.

[sockmongoose]

I see there is no point in speaking to you.

[whowearsthesocks]

Just say you wanted me to die for revenge.

[sockmongoose]

It was because you are a danger to others.

[whowearsthesocks]

You did a poor job.
