    Miki clasped her hands on her podium. "I see...so, everyone was accounted for except for you and him at the time of the gas attack," Miki said. "I don't suppose anyone can back up either of their testimonies?" She asked.

Tsukimo shook his head. "I-I can't vouch for where she started. B-but I do know that she did meet me at the door before either of us were let in. I can v-vouch for that much!"

Keiji just shook his head. "No, I don't think anyone could confirm them. I was next to Sachi when....umm....you know." @Captain Gensokyo

    Miki gave the boy a short nod of approval as if to affirm his statement's believability. They all were there at the time—that much was certain.


    "If we'd just been able to have witnesses at the time of the murder...maybe some of us would have had alibis, then," she regretted in her head. She paused for a second before continuing. "Maybe I should take note of that for later..."

    Miki slid her hand slowly up and down the wood of the podium as she considered her next words. "That's true. I remember both of you coming in after the door was let open, so the two of you were at least outside right after we all began waking up. ...Mm, like I said before, it seems like there's no one who truly has a rock-solid alibi here. In any case, let's look over this part again," the maid said.


    "You two were outside and unaccounted for right before the murder took place, and the rest of us were in close proximity to each other inside the lodge prior to the murder."


    "Does anyone disagree with this? Would anyone like to add anything else?" She asked, considering the others' perspectives.


@Assailant @Blu3 @DaniBot @NANANANANANANANANANA @TripTripleTimes

Tsukimo nodded. He had some things he wanted to say about that fact, but as of right now, they simply aimed to find the validity of that fact. As such, Tsukimo tapped his podium, thinking carefully. He eventually nodded, secure in his knowledge. "Y-yes. I do think that's a-all right."

    "That's good," Miki affirmed.


    "Let's move on to the next issue at hand: the order of everyone waking up in the lodge. We might be able to find something there..." she said.

Tsukimo shook his head. "I-I wasn't there, as we just affirmed. I-I-I'm afraid I can't help on this matter."

"Ding ding Ding! I am bored! Anyways, the results are in. The accused is......"









Time seemed to stand still throughout the whole trial, but now it has finally come to an end. A darkness spread over the students, were they right? "Phuhuhu, you have all accused this poor young man, he had a huge future ahead of him! So smart, so determined, he could have potentially cured cancer ya' know. Its too bad that....YOU WERE ALL RIGHT! DAMMIT, DAMMIT, DAMMIT! Almost some excitement. But oh well, theres still more to come." The bear sat laughing on his throne. "Any last words for young Tsukimo here?" That was odd, the bear usually wasn't like that. It was as if someone was talking through him...but who?

Tsukimo tsked. "I'm disappointed." It's odd. His voice had flipped on a dime. The scared and sensitive voice was gone. What replaced it was cold and cunning. "I expected a challenge, and though I was defeated, it was unfair." He grit his teeth. "No cunning... you all just ignored me and lynched me. There was no debate. I shall die a dishonest death. A pity." He frowned. "Keiji of all disappoints me." He turned to the man. "You were my test subject, and yet..." He shook his head and grinned. "Go on, all of you. Reprimand me. Hate me. Do what you must."

    The trial had gone on for far too long, and Miki had been figuratively hanging on for dear life as soon as the "sudden death" began. Tsukimo had finally been admitted guilty, and Miki looked him square in the eyes, her arms wobbling as she leaned up against her podium. "I don't care what you feel. You deserve every moment of it," she said, her words dripping with venom. "You deserve the dissatisfaction, the punishment, and that feeling of knowing you'll never escape from this place. Strap him up and send him to the execution!" she demanded of Monokuma as she aggressively pointed at the petite chemist.


@Assailant

Tsukimo raised an eyebrow. "You'd deny a dying man his final words?" He shook his head, his cold voice a shock to everyone. "Let them speak. Everyone should get equal opportunity to verbally thrash me, as if I'd care. I'm an equal opportunist." He chuckled. "I eagerly look forward to my punishment myself, but wait a moment. The anticipation will make the payoff all the more rewarding."


@Captain Gensokyo

Tsukimo raised an eyebrow. "Simple." He grinned. "Because you all loved her."

Avyn hides behind the over sized black and white winter jacket, doing her best impression of a turtle by tucking all her limbs in the warmth of her jacket on the ground. She knew all along that Miki couldn't have been the murderer but the diver cannot make her sigh in relief. The emotional exhaust and the cold are unbearable and not worth all of what this is she is thrown into. 


Avyn knew she had the nessary facts to prove... something but during the trail, she realised that both she and Miki are pretty horrible at debating. Tsukimo sounded so confident that he could have fight his innocent but time has cut him off short and she almost feels bad that the kid didn't got what he wanted. Avyn did always approve of a good competition. Perhaps honoring that one on one debate wasn't a good thing. 


There was so many thing they could have talked about, like the time and how the morning meet with the creep, breakfast, and the murder were related, the heating chemical that Tsukimo has and the chemicals has and could have had, his avoidance of questions Avyn was asking. Was it her or was Tsukimo avoiding or dismissing her durig the trail. Ah who knows, this trail went on for too long for her to remember that far back. Might be her imagination. 


"Why did you do that just because of that?" Avyn asks, tired eyes looking at the kid. 

Tsukimo tapped his chin. "I'm a diagnosable psychopath. See, I don't understand emotions. I just don't feel them. At least, not any of empathy." He dismissively waved his hands. "Then I saw how much you all adored this woman in particularly... particularly you," he points at Keiji. "The other most involved person in the last debate." He tapped his head. "I wanted to see how you'd react if I killed the person you loved... and how it would affect you all during the trial. I couldn't be more disappointed with the results. It was largely inconclusive, though you did all seem to become intellectually inept. Duly noted."

  Keiji stayed silent when the results were revealed. He never said a word. But he did walk away from his podium and to Tsukimo.


  He punched Tsukimo in the face. Tears slowly trickling down his cheeks as he was waiting for so long to be able to release them. He didn't want to dishonour Sachi. He wanted to be useful to her. Oh,he was a fool! Why did he thought that Miki was the one! Now,he didn't have to hold it in any longer. 


  He punched and punched and punched with no mercy. Kicked and kicked. Slapped and slapped. It was illogical. But at the very least,it would wipe the smirk against Tsukimo's face. Would put him down a peg. And hey,it's not against any rules.


  "YOU BASTARD! I WILL KILL YOU BEFORE MONOKUMA DOES!"


@Assailant

A gasp fell from Avyn as she watch Keiji punched the kid, and then again, and then again and again. She turns her head away from the scene and her whole body trembles at the sound of beating against the chill of the mountain. 


She digs her eyes against the bump of her knees close to her chest and her nose stings as she breathes in the freshly brought clothing stenched in the warmth of the jacket. She wants the violence to stop but at the same time she doesn't want to stop him. She's tired, she can't feel her bottom, he had it coming, the excuses piles on top of her mind. She doesn't want the responsibility to stop Keiji, the same kind of responsibility she is feeling for accusing Tsukimo of being guilty, but deep inside, Avyn knows it's not right to continue the beating Keiji is inflicting to the kid. Not for the kid but for Keiji. Yet, she remains.

Keiji would have never expected it, but as blood slowly began to trickle down from the beating, a chuckle escaped from Tsukimo. The child chuckled darkly as he slowly turned to look up at Keiji. "There we are... that's the data I was looking for." Tsukimo scribbled in a journal. "Thank you... I appreciate your results." He shook his head. "Such anger for another person... you won, you should be happy... and yet, here you are... filled with fury. Intriguing."

    Miki watched the entire scene unfolding before her with a blank expression. ...Here she stood, watching some poor soul being beaten within an inch of his life. " 'Intellectually inept'...look who's talking," Miki mocked in her head.

    As Avyn turned away, Miki couldn't help but continue to watch Keiji's brutal beating. Was it wrong not to turn away? She honestly didn't know what to feel about this. She'd hate to be on the receiving end of that, but at the same time...

    "You lost. Quit laughing already, and accept your fate," Miki said bitterly. Suddenly, she transitioned into a fit of laughter. "I think you missed one important thing during all of this, Tsukimo," she addressed him after Monokuma finally revealed the one-who-tried-to-frame-her's identity.


    "You underestimate the value of a good EQ. All IQ, and nothing else worthwhile. Even then, 'smarts' have always been arbitrary and subjective, haven't they?" She said cockily, putting great emphasis on the word 'smart' and anything having to relate to intelligence. "Even when jobs start hiring people like you—fresh, bright-eyed, soon-to-be graduates, they're looking for more than just 'smart' people. No matter what, people will always find the agreeable people to be the most suited—the ones easier to get along with. Your 'intelligence' can only get you so far before your social skills drag you down with you. Think about it: thanks to these people's sympathy alone, I was able to deemphasize every argument you had and win the emotional way. If you tug at others' heartstrings enough...if they take your side because you're such a pitiable, inferior human being..." she continued, sinking back from her podium some. "...Then you've already won," Miki claimed, staring down the scientist lying on the ground. "Maybe I was the smarter one, after all," she said with a shaking voice.


@Assailant @NANANANANANANANANANA  @Blu3 @TripTripleTimes

Tsukimo laughed. "What did you think I was doing?" He suddenly adopted the shy tone he'd had before, closing himself up. "I-I acted shy th-the whole time... I... I didn't mean to anger you... I...- I'm sorry..." He threw away the facade and shook his head. "Honestly, I'm amazed it didn't work... or maybe it just didn't work enough." He shook his head. "I don't understand though... why are you all angry? You won. The murderer is caught... justice, the thing you all seek, has been achieved." He scribbled in his notebook. "So what angers you all still?"

Assailant said:

    "That's something that someone like you won't—no, can never—understand. Your lack of common decency cost you. Try to understand that when you're waiting by the Sanzu," Miki said neutrally. 


@Assailant

Monokuma tapped his foot impatiently, "Tick tick tick, this is BORIIING! THAT IS IT! 10 seconds left killer!" Then a loud whir came from the bear and it sat down looking as if it was powered off. Finally with the feeling of conclusion, the students were at relief. They seemed to be more glad that it was just about to end than even caring that an originally innocent student was about to lose his life, they all seemed to forget that they are in this impossible death-trap together, no way out. At that moment, a large monitor came up in the middle of the area and showed a timer. The timer started ticking down as Tsumiko gave his final words.


@Assailant

"Very well," Tsukimo said as he turned to Monokuma. "I do hope you can still hear me. I have two things to say, and I think you'll like one of them." He held up his journal. "One: this is my journal, filled with my findings from this experiment: I would like you to save it. What you do with it is your business, I just don't want my research to go to waste." Tsukimo grinned. "Two, and I think this is the one you'll like:" He reached into his jacket and pulled out a decently sized canister. "This is a canister of chlorine gas that I made. Highly deadly." He placed the gas in front of Monokuma. "You do with it what you please. I hope it makes this game more interesting." With that, he took a deep breath. "Alright. I suppose that's it. All of you disappoint me. To the next killer, I say: be wary. These guys don't need intelligence, it seems all they require is dumb luck." He swept his hair and grinned. "Alright Monokuma, it's the moment we've been waiting for: what clever contraption do you have in mind to kill me with? What will bring me despair? Will you, perhaps, kill me with science? Maybe it will make reference to my 'tragic' past: a shame everyone here will never hear it." He laughed. "What have you got? I can't wait!"
