Second Trial

[neverhadafriend]

[Once again, it's time for the trial. Once again, the floor of the lobby opens up to lead you down to the trial room. Genie can be found in the center of the stage, smoking a pipe and donning a deerstalker hat.]

It's elementary, my dear Watson. [He paces around the stage, peering through a comically large magnifying glass.] You know how this goes, folks. Find the culprit, do the thing.

[He grimaces, whisking away his costume and rubbing his head.]

I gotta say, this one is...kind of a doozy. I can try and clear some things up--as long as I'm allowed to.

[He glances nervously at the birds up above, which continue to chatter amongst themselves.]

[ TRIAL START! ]

Hold still.

[Leia leans up, reaches with one hand and wipes a bit of that white stuff off his hair.

She gives it a sniff.]

What's this?

[kuzcospoison]

Oh, that? That's gotta be coconut cream pie. Baked it myself.

[...]

...I, uh. Wouldn't taste it if I were you. Unless you can handle arsenic, that is.

[halloteen]

... Uh, hey, Genie. Does it still count as murder if the person was involved as less of a person and more as a... tool?

[neverhadafriend]

Depends on what you mean. If one person made the murder weapon and the other person used it, then that second person would be the murderer.

... However if one person tricked the other to kill someone, 'fraid that the master would consider that a murder still.

[...]

And if one person beat someone to death using the body of a third person, then that gets really confusing.

[Leia's face goes from worried to just...heartbroken.]

Kronk....what happened?

[feudalladyshandmaid]

You... what?

[Oh.

She doesn't like this.]
