Take Responsibility.

[kingmakereffect]

And once the allotted time for investigating comes to a close, those elevator doors slide open at the end of the first-floor corridor, offering another of those fast, smooth rides down to that black void of a courtroom Twelve out of the original twenty-seven are dead; there are four less of you present for this trial than there were last week. That's incredibly obvious as soon as the doors slide open and the podium circle comes into view where it's encircling that dark pit in the center of the room; Norman, the King, Tarrlok, and Lynne have joined the deceased, photographs in greyscale watching the proceedings from their podiums draped in black. Of course and as always, the Kingmaker is watching too; he waits until everyone is settled at their podiums to begin speaking, though it's still impossible to tell exactly where his voice is coming from. "Assured and Perceiving have been taken from you. You guys are really getting excited, aren't you? Two people dead in one night... Whether the guilty party succeeds or not, though, is up to the rest of you." Fifteen Survivors remain. However many will be down by the end of the day is up to you.

The fact that there wasn't any on Miss Lynne is also odd. That is, if we are using the single killer theory.

Since, indeed, I cannot see a reason why Tarrlok or only some of the bottles would have it.

[sleepingkogoro]

Hmmm...

The killer transferred the glitter by contact, I suppose. If there was so much glitter then the mere act of touching could transfer glitter.

That would mean Lynne-san was killed through some way that required no physical contact at all from the culprit.

...

Do you think it could be possible the culprit could have glitter on them right now?

[garudynamic]

...is there even any way to do that? Like yeah, with a weapon you could shoot someone but-

-yeah, let's do a glitter check, just to get that out of the way.

[isafraid]

Even a gun would at least leave a wound... it seems like there's no way she could've died without simply dropping right there!

--Glitter check?

[notjustawriter]

Glitter ain't easy to get off you once it's on.

I reckon it's likely.

[-- beeeeeeeeeh]

It's like they're two separate cases entirely. Can't we just take this one at a time?

[ratingspoint]

Well, if we're using the single-killer theory and assume that Lynne came across the body early...why couldn't the killer have pretended they were in the same situation?

Meaning the bottles that weren't glittered up were set up by Lynne, but the others...

[garudynamic]

Like they were pretending to investigate together until they got the chance to attack?

[ratingspoint]

Exactly! It's called acting, darling, it's not hard.

[garudynamic]

Well, maybe for some of us.

[Look at him, do you think this kid could lie that well?]

[pokexplorer]

I could see Miss Lynne agreeing to that, as it would be rather odd to investigate a crime scene alone. It would look suspicious on her part if she did, wouldn't it?

[garudynamic]

It'd probably be someone she wouldn't suspect either. But with how much Tarrlok's body looked like an accident she might not have even THOUGHT to be suspicious.

[Lynne just seems like that type]

[amygdalae]

None of us were aware of the three person rule until earlier, too - so its entirely possible.
