Idris was biting his nails. He was on edge. It felt like only moments ago, that Horatia was alive. Now they were dead. He could still see Horatia's dead body when he closed his eyes.
He shuddered.
His ears pricked up, listening to the investigation. Idris didn't bother joining in, he much preferred to sit and listen. He worked better like that.
Idris raised an eyebrow. How typical, Mei being insensitive. Oh well. The Ultimates were snowflakes sometimes.
Still, it did feel inconsiderate to make a joke right now.

Ooooh interesting! Accusations were already starting to roll in! She could probably throw some names around, fan the flames... She looked over at the oblivious loremaster, who didn't even have a good alibi... Alibis were important here, but then again, one could easily be made up... Mei had already decided not to say anything about herself unless it contributed in a way she wanted it to, so her alibi wasn't going to be shared... For now.
She took a quick peek at the Monokuma file, quickly retaining all the info before chucking it back to where it came from. She acted like she didn't care, but that info was valuable. It wasn't much, but even the smallest pieces complete the puzzle. Besides, there were a few times that 2 or more insignificant pieces went together, which ultimately made the entire puzzle solvable. Oh what was she doing, making stupid analogies? That was for everyone else to do, not her!
"Oh Sawwwwwyyyerrrrr~ You gotta do better than that! C'mon, tell us! What were you doin last night, huh?" Mei was getting all jumpy, leaning over her podium and looking straight at them before she turned her head to everyone else. She took a quick glance at the very annoyed Darcy, giving her a sly grin before adverting her eyes to Sutaraitsu. She had an idea of what Darcy thought of her, but she definitely wasn't sure. It was fun to mess with people like that, but she still didn't really understand why some people were so interested in her. Sure, middle-aged guys made sense, as creepy and weird as it was, but they were soon dead after meeting her anyways so she never worried about them. People her age though... Why the hell would they even think about being around her? Mei's entire goal was to be unlikable, and she hated failing... Oh well, the more variety the better, right?
"So, Mr. Sleepypants!
She glanced over at Idris momentarily, since this was the first time she saw him since she ran off to chase Mika. He looked... Unsettled, and not only because of the death... The sight made Mei frown a little, for some reason she didn't want to see him like that. Damn... Thanks for the mood-killer... "Got somethin you wanna say?" She asked Idris, her tone more neutral and low than before.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Akari wanted to remain silent, really not wanting to hear the bickering over alibis and who did what or whatever... that is, until he heard the obnoxiously loud voice blurt out random stuff right next to him.
"So, Mr. Sleepypants! What were yoooouuu doin all last night, hmmmmmm? You weren't even there for the body! Geez, you should've seen it! It was so well done, honestly, I'm jealous! Or did you already know about it...?"
...What did she say? Did she really just...
Akari, his head still low, looked over to Mei and scowled. No one could see his expression, or barely even hear is voice, but he still spoke. "He's innocent, lay off..."
"Hmmm? Ohhhh, so you're takin his side now! Haha, I wonder if you were in on it together! Oooooh spill the beans, c'mon, spill em! Didja do it? Didja?!"
Silence fell between the two.
"Can you just shut up... Jesus christ you're so annoying... It would be much appreciated if you just kept your goddamn mouth shut while everyone tries to live..."
"Hehe, that doesn't answer my question! I could care less if you guys lived or died, it's all a game after all! So c'mon Akari, do your part and participate! Answer my question, pretty pleeeeeeasassee!"
"Why the hell would I even think about it, huh? What the f*** is wrong with you! Why would Sutaraitsu do it either?! You're sick, so shut up before you cause even more problems!" His voice had raised as he talked, his eyes were now staring daggers into Mei, and he was pretty damn close to punting her across the room. He was never usually a violent guy, and his voice hadn't been this loud in ages, but this place...
Mei was seemingly taken aback, but immediately recovered and shot back at him. "Guess I finally got the quiet kid to crack, whoopsie daisies~ Gettin pretty defensive, aren'tcha? Better be careful there, I have leverage..." Her grin... Akari never would've thought he would be so intimidated by a small little brat, but Mei... She was something else, she knew how to get to people really well.
She was right, in the end. Akari knew exactly what that leverage was. It was his motive, his reason to kill after all. Not that he would actually do it, but...
All Akari did was sigh, then return to his normal stance and demeanor. He probably shouldn't say anything else...

Kaoru Kajiwara
"It's possible..." she trailed off.
Kubo stood at the other end of the room from her. He was twitching all over. She spotted, out of the corner of her eye, that he was scratching at his glove.
She knew what that meant.
Their eyes met.
"First," he said. "We should establish the time of death. I would assume there's a reason it was excluded from the file."
Posted: Sun, 11/12/2022 21:50 (2 Years ago)
"Well,-" She paused, surprised she had been able to talk at all. "Who saw her last? A-and, when was she found? It could determine roughlt about when she died, maybe?" Akora offered nervously.

Darcy Harper's POV
She admired that, honestly. The fact he was taking charge in this situation.
Darcy's eyebrows furrowed, twisted, their teeth gritted.
"SHUT. UP. Shut up, both of you! Shut the hell up, Mei. SHUT UP, Lucian. SHUT UP, KAORU!" She stomped her foot. "SAWYER DIDN'T DO THIS! They wouldn't do this! I know them! I-"
Please... don't let it be them. Please.
Darcy's hands flew up to their face, as she broke into a sob.
Sawyer Laurens's POV
"Anyway, yeah, I don't really want to, like, confess to doing anything. It would be more interesting if we actually solve this!"
Sawyer was shocked at Darcy's outburst.
Did... she just openly defend them?
"Dace... thank you."
Lucian Arbred's POV
"I didn't mean Sawyer did this with certainty. There's a lot to tackle. I merely brought it up as a possibility."
Sawyer was still suspicious. But there were other suspects to consider as well.
"I suppose so. Is there anything about the body we can use to discern the time of death?"
I thought I remembered Mom saying something about that...
Lucian glared at Mei. "That's enough. Quit randomly throwing accusations around. That's not solving anything."
He had to admit, Sutaraitsu was also a suspect.
"We're here to solve a murder, and not die in the process."
Darcy looked over at Lucian with a slight smile. Lucian had the feeling she was thinking At least he didn't mean Sawyer definitely did it.
"Yeah!" Sawyer chirped, half-laughing. "So. How do we figure out the time of death thingy?"
Sawyer looked in Akora's direction. "Mayyyybe. Maybe something about the injuries might tell us too!"
Lucian nodded. "Yes... maybe. Who saw her last?"

Omniscient POV
Sawyer blinked. "AAAAYYY, wait a minute, Lucian, how'dja know that?"
Lucian looked away, seemingly not wanting to show his face.
"...reasons."
"So the killer musta sneaky-sneaked on in there like Swiper from Dora the Explorer and swiped her diggity-dang life?"
"NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR MEMING AND RANDOM REFERENCES, SAWYER!" Darcy yelled.
"Okie-doke. Soooo. Who coulda done it in like a vague period of uhh, an hour or more ago? Musta taken place this morning or last night."
"It was probably... Someone outside the dorms at the time of the closing," Darcy choked out.

Hmm... Now everyone was yelling at her... Oh well, that was to be expected. Guess not everyone wanted to make this enjoyable...
Mei knew what she was doing though, she knew her words held no meaning, her accusations weren't said with much intention. Well, she did have suspicions about Sutaraitsu, but she held that thought off for now until she got more info. Her favorite chocolatier was getting defensive over Sawyer, and understandably so... Guess it's just best to say nothing for now, let them have their tiny little debate. She had to be careful as well, she didn't know everything after all. Yes, she knew a lot more than what she appeared to know, but she couldn't read minds or see the future. Well, the former was only partially true.
Anyways, any one of these people had the ability to kill her, with enough force that is. Mei was strong, but she wasn't indestructible. One really well-planned out move could be her end, and she had to remember that. Couldn't piss these people off too much. Saying nothing really was the best option after all, wasn't it.
Now they were talking about time of death, interesting. A good starting point for sure, since it was missing info. Mei had a good idea of the time of death, and she was pretty sure that Kubo guy did too. And now that the vet lady said something, pretty much everyone did.
The blood was dry, the large puddle of blood was dry. It was a gelatinous feel on her tongue, on her finger.
The wounds as well... This case was very interesting, Mei couldn't wait to see what these people came up with... She wasn't going to help in the slightest though, throwing out false information was kinda her thing.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Akari stood silently still, unmoving. His eyes were wider than normal though, and his shallow breathing was shaky, but he was as still as a rock.
Why... Why did he have to be here... Why couldn't it be his face on the board, crossed out and mocked... Nobody knew him, nobody cared about him. He wasn't useful in the slightest, nobody would cry over his death, it would've been better...
Horita didn't deserve to die, no one here except Akari did. Maybe Mei did too, but... No, not even she deserves it.
This trial shouldn't even be happening... Why...

Jeez okay, Solaro-
Solaro frowned. She'd been listening, being a pacifist (unusual, much) and saying nothing. She had nothing anyway. Although, she hated being useless. Whatever. She'd stay out of it for now. She didn't want to cloud the water.
A small hiss. That was not her metaphor. Stay out of my head. She growled throatily to them.
Posted: Sun, 11/12/2022 22:37 (2 Years ago)
"Huh?" He glanced at Mei. Idris quickly looked down.
"N-no. Not really. It's just that-" He sucked in his teeth. "This isn't the first dead body I've seen. Yet it feels so....odd."
"I thought I would've gotten used to the feeling. Heh."
"Dead bodies don't bother you, Mei?" He glanced upwards.
Posted: Sun, 11/12/2022 22:52 (2 Years ago)
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
"Hmm?" Was someone talking to her? Oh right, Idris.
What an... odd statement to just... gloss over. Idris? Seeing a lot of dead bodies? Odd... She wasn't gonna bring it up, but she'd hold onto that...
"Dead bodies don't bother you, Mei?"
"Hehe, not at all! I've seen a body or two before, no biggie!" Mei giggled a little bit, her smile wide.
That is, until it got more and more menacing, and her eyes seemed to curl into an evil look along with it. Her voice became low as well. "I'm Mei Akamatsu after all, why the hell would it bother someone like me?"
Immediately after finishing her chilling reply, her face lit up again and she kept rocking her chin back and forth in the palm of her hand.
She wondered if anyone here did research on the other Ultimates, learn what was available on public record. Mei's entire career was pretty much televised, it would be incredibly easy to learn a lot about her. She had to admit, she didn't really like that fact, it was more fun to be a mystery, but oh well.
But she knew that if anyone here knew what she did for a living, they'd be warier of her. More wary than some of them already are. Dead bodies were just as common as living bodies to her. She was desensitized to it, death meant nothing to her.
Not only that... Mei was more willing to kill, more capable of taking a life. She'd done it many, many times before, why wouldn't she do it again?
Posted: Sun, 11/12/2022 23:04 (2 Years ago)
"No biggie. Heh. Yeah." He muttered.
Idris twisted the rings on his fingers shakily.
"So...d'you have any idea on who the killer is?
I sure as hell don't."
Posted: Sun, 11/12/2022 23:07 (2 Years ago)
...
Just a hunch.

Lucian Arbred's POV
He nodded carefully. "I suspect Sawyer, Sutaraitsu, Miyako, and possibly Mei. Although it could very well be someone else. I have reason to believe that anyone locked out of the dorms at the time could have committed the crime. However, I may be missing something."
Lucian looked over at Kubo. "...mind sharing your thoughts? You seem to know something we all don't."
Darcy Harper's POV
"The motive!" Darcy exclaimed. "Who would have done this? Did anyone have anything they may have held against Horatia? Monokuma said... The killer motives were used, though. So that might not help us. By maybe, just maybe, there was a reason why Horatia specifically was targeted!"
Darcy was holding their hand over their heart as she exclaimed it, as though it was something that desperately needed to be said.
Lucian nodded agreement.
"She was the Ultimate Time-Traveler. Did someone perhaps not want something to be altered, or could it have been a personal grudge of some sort? No, it may have been something else." Lucian bit his lip. "Puzzling."

"Yeah!" Solaro piped up suddenly. "Might he have killed her, as like, a grudge?"
Posted: Sun, 11/12/2022 23:33 (2 Years ago)
Sawyer Laurens's POV
Lucian Arbred's POV
"...Darcy. Could Sawyer have killed her, and not even know it?"
Darcy Harper's POV
"...or rely too much on emotional biases. Darcy, please."
"IT LOOKS TOO DELIBERATE! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU THINK SI- SAWYER WOULD DO THIS!" Darcy stammered. "SHUT UP, MOM. SHUT UP!"
Darcy was gripping the sides of her head.
"...okay. Someone... OTHER than Darcy."

Touhou 8: Imperishable Night - Cinderella Cage ~ Kagome-Kagome
[Ambient Version]
Sutaraitsu sleepily went into his podium.
Woah, this thing is high-
His eyes barely peeked out of the top of the podium.
Or maybe I'm just short. Whatever, I guess...
He said quietly, "I-I still d-don't get why we're h-here..."
Mika Uyehara
Touhou 15: Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom - Eternal Spring Dream
[Orchestral Remix]
Mika swiftly made his way to his podium and laid his notebook down.
"You."
He turned towards Mei.
"I believe you are our primary suspect at this moment. Now defend yourself."
He internally cringed at how cringey it turned out.
Posted: Mon, 12/12/2022 02:42 (2 Years ago)
Lucian Arbred's POV
He raised his eyebrows at Mika. "...interesting. Why specifically her? Is this our interrogation tactic now? We just accuse people for no apparent reason?"
Darcy Harper's POV
Sawyer Laurens's POV
"Why are you so weird," she muttered.

Akora huffed crossly. "May we not make random accusations?" She growled. The first strong emotion shown from her. "We need to compile our evidence before we decide to scream at eachother." Akora looked at her feet, muttering something infuriated. This was unusual, considering the girl was usually a quiet, obedient pacifist.

Kubo Atsushi
"Mind?" he echoed. "Oh no, of course I don't," he mocked in a low voice. "Poor Kubo's gotta do everything. Oh Kubo do this! Oh Kubo, tell us what to do now! Oh Kubo KUBO!"
He shook his head, raising his voice to be heard now. "I-I have s-some theories. But for now, I t-think we should stop the accusations, and w-work on time of d-death. When do you all t-think she d-died?"
"During the night, right?" Kaoru said.
"Oh?" Kubo raised his eyebrows. "And w-why's that?"
"Well... There were a lot of things that had to be done in that room, right? So... nighttime."
