"Well anyway, since our current 'detective' doesn't seem interested in doing any more than using this trial to pry in people's personal business, how about I do the same but progress this trial a bit on top?"
*takes out a chocolate cig and puts it in her mouth then does few clicks of a lighter for atmosphere*
"So anyway, I'm sure all of you here has already realized how odd it is how 1 Benben's guard caused the blackout, 2nd came over to tell him when to leave without turning the light back on and 3rd one was MIA, right? So anyway, guess you can already guess where I'm going with this. I'm just gonna go ahead and say that 3rd Benben's guard, Ynny is the culprit of this murder. It was a plotted murder by all 3 together, Onney was taking care of the lights and making sure they aren't going back on until murder is done, Vinny was the messenger boy who would tell Onney when to stop, meanwhile Ynny herself was the executioner going in for the kill. After Christie was dead, culprit took the murder weapon and created obvious red herring blood trail towards the Prince rooms 3-5, obviously to lead everyone off from the culprit residing in other Prince Room."
"And there ya have it, if ya 3 weren't the culprits of this murder, I think its about time you confessed just what kind of mischief or other unrelated murders you were planning to do. You aren't gonna be able to use this plan again anyway unless ya feeling really bold."

"I've been waiting for this moment! The spotlight falls on me! But I'm afraid I will dash your hopes, rock star! I was in the library with a precious knight for the entirety of the blackout." |

"Was she there?" *looks at Kaede and KoD*

Hu Tao slides Ruka the slab of meat, "Feel free to take a stab at it."
"As for my exact route after the concert... I was wandering to and from the library for most of the evening. My path took me by the main dining room, then to the prince's hallway where I had a short conversation with the guards. They ignored me, so I headed out to the library and got strange looks from people. We went off to the shop and talked to some staff. Then went to the deck 3 storage, followed by the crew kitchens. I was having a conversation with the chef when the unassuming one came by. We went to the theater next, and the lights went out while we were there. With nothing new discovered, we drift back to talk with the librarians. They either knew nothing or refused to say, so I left the library. This was when I saw the unassuming one and the schoolgirl. Otoshin was running back toward his prince, as I said prior. Kaede didn't look as if they had any destination in mind. We pass the unassuming one and Ruka in the prince's hallway and head into Prince Tubeppa's room. We spend the rest of the time conversing with the prince, with Ruka joining part way through."

" Was she there?" *looks at Kaede and KoD* "Looks like your lead ran dead, Ruka. If you could kindly address my accusation rather than derail this conversation with a separate accusation, it would be much appreciated." |

If this were the case, Prince Tubeppa's room is again our prime candidate for an escape route. The killer reasonably would not be searching for an escape route in another prince's suite, and again, Prince Tubeppa cannot confirm nor deny entries into their suite during the blackout. Since Hu Tao and Ruka showed up in the laboratory towards the end of the blackout, it's not entirely unreasonable for one of them to have exited through a passageway and re-entered Deck 1 to have witnesses to their alibi."
"Out of these, I believe either 2 or 3 are our most likely candidates, which puts Prince Tubeppa's guards into question." "Right, so you see. Thing about that is. Opened secret passage in our prince quarters is in the Tubby's lab. The self-same lab she testifies to have been in alone until we joined in at the end." |

"Why would you admit to that?"

Opened secret passage in our prince quarters is in the Tubby's lab. The self-same lab she testifies to have been in alone until we joined in at the end." "In the lab... Hm... This may leave us with a few alternative solutions, then. If the passageway was in the lab, this still doesn't entirely eliminate someone entering and cleaning off in the bathrooms, no? This doesn't entirely rule out other guards being involved in the murder like the passageway theory does, but it's more likely that Prince Tubeppa's own guards would enter the suite to wash off after a murder than another Prince's guards." "The only way for those outside of her own guards to use the passageway in this murder would have been to be completely undetected, such as the Second Prince's ability. They've all covered each other's tracks, so if the passageway were to be used, it was either someone from the Second Prince's crew or an SHSL ability that is unbeknownst to us."
"I believe in order to rule out one of these, we need to know whether there was any evidence in the bathrooms in Prince Tubeppa's suite. Did anyone happen to investigate these rooms?"

Hu Tao hops up, "Oh oh, moon lady has her knife right? Maybe she can try taking a stab at the meat so we can compare the shapes."

"Perhaps I should also play... 'Devil's Advocate'... was it? Otoshin was also on Deck 1 at the time on the murder and blackout, no? How do we know you didn't have a hand in this? Your involvement is not an impossibility, given that the bathrooms in Prince Tubeppa's suite may be far away enough from her laboratory to evade detection."

"I suppose there is worth in adding that, none of the kitchens in the prince suites appear to be missing knives and the dining room butter knives are too dull for a stab like so. The deck 1 kitchen is missing one knife. The bar, deck 3 crew kitchen, and the storage are also not missing knives. There were two more places I would've loved to search, a few more actually... but we got dragged into this trial before we could."

"Allow me to deliver wonderful counsel! If we are so determined that the culprit cleansed themselves of their sins on the first deck, then we should consider all places with running water! All of the bathrooms... and the kitchen! There are dishwashing sinks. If a knife was acquired from there, then why not more?" |

"I believe it's time we start asking some hard-hitting, mouth wateringly chocolately questions! I ask that Hu Tao and Ruka both present their SHSL abilities and prove them to us right here and now. The possibilities hidden away by the SHSL abilities inside the delicious fluffiness of a marshmallow prove to be a potentially important factor in the murder! We don't know what they do, so with you both as prime culprits at the moment, it's best if you shared. If not, I feel as though it may be considered a confession of guilt."

"I-it wasn't me! I'm not involved in the murder at all! I was trying to find a place to hide a brain around the time of the commotion, and Christie was stabbed in the eye, which is the opposite of the brain! I'm innocent, I swear!"
"Even if it was me, which it wasn't, I would've used the bathrooms in Prince Tserriednich's room instead of risking someone noticing in Prince Tubeppa's room. Both the 4th and 5th prince's bathrooms were very recently and meticulously cleaned, so it didn't matter which one I used. There's also no way I could have known Prince Tubeppa is usually in her lab, away from the bathroom, and there's no way I would've known Prince Tserriednich usually sits in the living room and would give me away if I ran through there. It's not like I checked all the princes' rooms a day before the murder happened or anything, that'd be ridiculous! That's something only the murderer would do, but I'm definitely not a murderer!" |
