Re: The Trial So Far

DAY 2

The second day began on a far better note. The room was freshened up overnight, and the body moved to a scent-proof body bag. Sonia and Rapture brought a piano into the room to put on a performance, which was well received by some and criticized by others.

Felicia summed up what was known so far. It seemed both Belarus and Altman were poisoned intentionally, and the killer went to Altman's room first, changed into his clothes, dismembered Belarus, and returned to Altman's room to leave the clothes. It seemed likely a skeleton key was used. Susan pointed out that three of the suspects - Clyde, Alice, and Touko - were in the bar at the suspected time of poisoning. Kaoru did not notice a time when anything was slipped in the bottles. Clyde, Alice, nor Touko drank rum or vodka. Kaoru and Felicia discussed timing. Altman drank at the bar regularly, giving the killer ample notice to poison him, but Belarus is less clear. It's suggested either someone she knew did the poisoning or she refilled her flask regularly. Touko argues it wouldn't be so difficult, as you could put the poison in the bottles at any time. Annie wonders if the flask itself was poisoned.

Lithuania went looking in the kitchen, and discovered some strange vials that everyone seems to agree were likely the assorted poisons. One vial was empty. Felicia and Susan discussed the dirt on the bloodied clothes, and theorized it may have been a result of an altercation involving the flower pot.

Susan decides to investigate the ash left behind at the scene and finds it looks and smells similar to ashtray ash from Touko's room. Sonia agrees it smells like cigarette ash. Susan announces this finding and asks Touko to explain herself, and Poland confirms the location of the finding and order of events, or at least that's what it seems like he's saying. Stiles points out it would be easy to frame Touko this way, perhaps by using ash from another ashtray. Touko suggests the killer could have gotten from her room, through use of a skeleton key. Sonia suggests this would be difficult to do at night when Touko was in her room, but Touko points out they don't know when the culprit receives the key, and it could have been done during the day. Sonia takes issue with the framing theory since there would be a risk the ash wouldn't be found, so why not use a cigarette butt? Kaoru suggests a cigarette butt may have been too obvious.

Now is the time of the trial where everyone gets desperate and mutilates corpses. Susan and May burn Belarus' arm with a lighter and cigarette, but find it would be pretty difficult to replicate the burn pattern on the leg by the fence this way. Stiles suggests frying body parts with the fence, which he, Felicia, and Lithuania go to do. Felicia throws the leg, and the fence, seemingly somewhat unusual, chars it.
