peridot

[dramatispersonae]

You find yourself in a beautiful red room, the edges of each wall adorned with real gold accents. At the center of the room is a long table, several chairs on either side of it, perfect for very serious conferences. In the middle of the table is a plate of strawberry jam tarts atop it, one per teammate present.

In the corner of the room is a hole in the ground, only large enough for a small animal to fit through. Next to it is a flat iron bar, curled at its tip, where a golden bell has been hung from it.

Finally, on one wall is a large poster which reads (or you find read aloud to you, if you cannot read):

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after.

Up got Jack, and home did trot
As fast as he could caper.
He went to bed and bound his head
With vinegar and brown paper.

Why wouldn't he go back for her after he wrapped up his injury?

Re: first case

[silentknight]

His head injury? Maybe he couldn't!

Re: first case

[threadspinner]

Well he made it home in the first place, I doubt it was serious.

Re: first case

[silentknight]

Beatrice said we can ask questions about it.

Why do you want bad things to happen to him?

[peridot girls are arguing

unsure if legit to say anything]

Re: first case

[silentknight]

What do you think?

Re: first case

[likeawritingdesk]

Ah-- well, I think... I think a lot of assumptions have been made on both sides... we can't actually tell what motivations are with what we know?

Re: first case

[silentknight]

Beatrice is asking.

Re: first case

[likeawritingdesk]

It sounds like he wasn't injured very seriously.

Re: first case

[silentknight]

[really fairly cross at this point]

I heard.

Re: first case

[likeawritingdesk]

[s....ob...]

Re: first case

[threadspinner]

Then let's ask questions. I'd hate to incriminate someone who was actually innocent.

[ deliberately not answering that second question ]

Re: first case

[silentknight]

Daisy... what's wrong?

Re: first case

[threadspinner]

I'm fine.

Re: first case

[silentknight]

[crosses her arms, looking cross]

Yeah.

Re: first case

[threadspinner]

[ bluh no she hates making cass cross :c ]




[ ...conceding........ ] Something that happened in a memory.

Re: first case

[silentknight]

We don't have to talk about it now, but lying doesn't help.

Re: first case

[threadspinner]

...it did at home.

Re: first case

[silentknight]

People probably couldn't tell when you lied to them there.

Re: first case

[threadspinner]

If you haven't noticed, the people from my home are particularly obtuse.

Re: first case

[silentknight]

I don't know what you mean by that.

Re: first case

[threadspinner]

They aren't quick to understand things. They tend to let their egos get in the way, or their feelings, depending on the person and the day. Or if they are clear-headed, they still can't grasp simple concepts.

[ small smile ] I'm fond of them, but sometimes I wonder why I was so attached that I tried to destroy myself for them.

Re: first case

[silentknight]

...What did you remember?

Re: first case

[threadspinner]

I wrote a walkthrough.

Re: first case

[silentknight]

I don't know what that is.
