MT: Well, we got nothing accomplished, and all that stuff was disorganized. That was the worse trial I have ever seen.
Kahi: Well, it’s not my fault your “friend” sucks at giving me good evidence.
MT: Whatever. Anyways, I would hope you get the trial done today, because Eljay is doing some good cooking right now.
Kahi What?
MT: Look on this screen.
TTV Presents: COOKING WITH ELJAY!
Eljay: Err… Huhuhuh Hi… Eljay here. Today I’m going to be making a peanut butter and-
Click
Eljay: OKAY OKAY! Today I’m going to be making Fugu! Please don’t kill me!
MT: Oh my. Looks like Eljay isn’t doing so good. Can he cook Fugu?
Kahi: Eljay isn’t even a certified chef.
RING RING
Kahi: Hello?
Assassin: I trust you’ve been helping my client.
Kahi: I’ve been trying, but none of this stuff is really helping me out.
Assassin: Well, what other evidence do you need? And do you have any questions?
Assassin: You’re asking for specifics, which I don’t like. However, this Omega Tahu figure is not someone new. In fact, it’s someone that’s been with the case the whole time.
Assassin: My services? Ah, so you think I killed him. Maybe I did, maybe I didn’t. What you should be asking for is evidence. Evidence is the key. You can’t win this by theories alone, Kahi.
Assassin: Ah, logical thinking are we? Hmph. You’re getting a bit too close to the truth. However, I shall not tell you what happened to MT’s phone. I’ll just tell you that it is long gone.
Assassin: How do you expect me to get all these blood types and list everyone that wears that mask? I have to keep Eljay here now.
Assassin: This evidence should be coming your way shortly:
-The Costume
-Newspaper
-Planning Book
Assassin: I only help people if I’m hired to do it. But that doesn’t mean MT hired me. For all you know, I could have been hired by someone else.
Assassin: These questions will be answered with a new witness that the prosecution will be presenting shortly. Who this man was? A photographer. He has pictures of the scene. Also, I destroyed the other security footage anyways.
Assassin: Well, I’ll need to go now. Eljay is trying to escape again. That evidence should be on your desk when you arrive in the courtroom.
Kahi: Right…
Click
MT: Well, that sure was a slow 10 minutes. We should head back inside now. Before we go in, anything you need to ask?
MT: …
Kahi: Well?
MT: I left because I needed to talk with Indi. That’s all.
Kahi: What about the juice?
MT: I had juice. Any more questions?
MT: …
Kahi: Well?
MT: I think you ask too many questions, personally. C’mon, let’s go inside. The trial is starting again.

##BANG BANG
Venom: Dang, that felt like the longest ten minutes of my life. Anyways, let’s get back to the trial. Before we do so, prosecution, would you like to say anything?
Var: Yes, your honor. Can we have a better defense attorney? This one is doing shobby work today.
Kahi: Maybe if you didn’t have such shobby detective work I wouldn’t BE in this mess!
Var: Whatever. Let’s just onto the trial. Your honor, I want to bring up my next witness. A photographer named “Ghostly.”
Ghostly: Hi. I’m Ghostly.
Venom: Hmmm… I wasn’t told of this witness. Is he from the crime scene?
Var: Yes, your honor. But not only that, he claims that he witnessed seeing a man murder Indi, and then he took pictures of his exchange with another man.
Venom: Hmm… Will this be alright with you Kahi? Or do you have any objections?
Venom: Alright, then. You may begin the witness testimony and cross-examination.
Ghostly: Alright, then. Here we go! It was just today when I was walking down the hallway of that TTV Hotel.
Suddenly, I came across a man walking down the hallway, with blood on his hands! It was a man with an Omega Tahu mask! I hid to make sure he didn’t see me. Then he came to a door to talk with some butler or whatever. He took a glass of juice and entered the room. Then he took a book from the butler and entered the room.
Kahi: What did this butler look like?
Ghostly: Well, I can provide a picture I took of him!
Kahi: What was this “book?” Do you know what it consisted of?
Ghostly: AHA! I don’t actually know. However, the book is on your desk!
Kahi: (Well I’ll be. This must be the same book the assassin gave me. Perhaps I should look at some evidence.)
Ghostly: Sure. Here.
Ghostly: It’s actually the picture of him giving Omega Tahu the planner.
Ghostly: Well, I am a professional, after all. It comes with my trade.
Kahi: This is becoming a little suspicious, Ghostly. You have all these good pictures and a robotic arm… And yet, you seem to dodge the question on HOW you took them!
Kahi: It’s making me think that YOU are suspicious!
Ghostly: AGH! No! You gotta believe me! I did nothing wrong!
Kahi: It all makes sense! The unidentified prints! The cup could have been moved with the robotic hands!
Var: I think that Kahi is not on the spot of the real point here: there is a mechanical arm. It CANNOT be Ghostly’s because it involves PRINTS.
Varderan: Therefore it would have to have a robotic arm, which Ghostly’s picture shows us!
Venom: So this means all we need to do is find the identity of the masked man?
Var: Wrong, your honor. We still have so much evidence that points to MT being the true murderer.
Var: HOWEVER! I feel that Mr. Kahi over here is still missing one final contradiction. His focus on these details have left him wide open to some contradictions I have found. Let’s hope he can actually find them!
#SLAM!
Kahi: Ghostly, your whole testimony falls apart because of one simple thing:
Kahi: IN NONE OF YOUR PICTURES DOES IT SHOW ANY BLOOD ON OMEGA TAHU’S HANDS!
Ghostly: WHA-? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I can’t believe myself!
Kahi: Your honor, I feel if we were to find the real truth, it involves unscrambling his pictures!
Venom: Oh really now? How shall they be arranged?
Kahi: Here is the correct sequence of events, Your Honor. First, the man in the Omega Tahu mask took the glass of juice, and then took the book. Why did he take the book? I dunno, but he did. Finally, he exits the room without both.
Venom: Hmm… That does make more sense. However, I feel we should get more explanation on the book.
Var: No, Your Honor, we don’t. All this evidence thus far has proven to help the prosecution in EVERY way!
Kahi: Um, how? So far I’ve made the case that Omega Tahu took the juice and… Uh oh.
Var: Catching on, are you? Good. If you take a good look at the evidence and the hands, once can see how the case could be made that this actually IS MT!
Var: MT took the book with his robotic hand…
Var: While the juice would have been taken by the other hand. You know, the one that isn’t robotic?
Var: Therefore, MT would have STILL used his hand in order to put the glass! As such, the person in the mask is STILL MT! Especially because of the book.
Kahi: (Gah… My head. This case. It all hurts. What is the true answer? Var’s explanation HAS to be wrong… But how?)
Kahi: Sorry, Var, but you seem to forget that on this costume, both hands are covered, especially with the “juice” arm!
Kahi: Honestly, do you expect me to believe that his fingerprints still showed through the glove? No they did not. Therefore, MT still cannot be the culprit! In fact, this still leaves him ambiguous!
Var: True true… But here is something I also gotta ask you:
Var: What about the sheet with MT’s fingerprints found on it? Have any way to explain that?
Kahi: (Hmm… This should be brought up. I’d need to look at evidence to decipher this one, though).
Kahi: Let’s take a fine look at the evidence, shall we?
Kahi: We are told that THIS bloody sheet is the sheet where Indi was murdered on. However, I think something should be pointed out about the room the sheet was found on.
Var: Go on, Kahi…
Kahi: Now take a look at the hotel room where Indi was! You may notice there was no blood on the floor.
Var: Why would there be? He landed on the sheet.
Kahi: I’ll tell you why there is no blood. That is because…
Kahi: …BECAUSE HE WAS ACTUALLY KILLED IN MT’S ROOM!
Kahi: This is visible in this photo, as does it show no where that blood was found on the carpet. The blood would have seeped through the sheet and sink into the carpet, would it not?
Var: Ergh… Then explain the cup! And explain the knife! Why are they there?!
Kahi: I’ve already told you how it would work! The man in the costume already had the cup and could use it to frame MT because he had his hands on it.
Var: But that doesn’t explain the knife or the other dishes in the room! In fact, these pictures Ghostly showed us would suggest that he actually went into Indi’s room to kill him!
Kahi: (What would suggest that he went into MT’s room? C’mon Kahi! You gotta think out of the box!)
Kahi: This picture right here. It shows that the killer had access to MT’s planner, so he could have used MT’s planner to do what he needed to do.
Var: That still explains nothing about the knife.
Kahi: I think you need to pay more attention to your evidence, Varderan, because it states in Chronicler’s testimony that…
Kahi: The knife was actually found in MT’s room!
Var: Ergh… Ugh…
#chronicler! YOU’RE FIIIIIIIIIRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!
Venom: Well then! Looks like this bootleg police work has helped you make your point, Kahi! It looks like the knife could have been moved to the scene!

Var: THAT STILL DOESN’T CHANGE THE FACT THAT THE KNIFE HAS MT’S FINGERPRINTS! And we still do NOT know the identity of the man in the costume!
Venom: Var is right. We still don’t know if the man in the costume is MT or not. Even if he got the planning book, it doesn’t mean that it cannot be his. Nor does the costume mean that he cannot be MT in there.
Kahi: Your honor, I’d like the Prosecution to take the police force and investigate two items: The height of the costumed man compared to MT and if the fingerprints on the mask match the ones on the knife!
Venom: Alright, we’ll continue the trial tomorrow.
Kahi: We-we can’t do it tomorrow. This has to be done TODAY!
Var: There can be no other way to do this trial without going on for another day! We need to investigate these two things, like you wanted, and it’s already getting late for the court.
Venom: Agreed. Court is now dismissed for the Prosecution to investigate.
Kahi: No… Eljay… I’m sorry I failed you… Now you’re gonna have to eat pufferfish… Oh gosh, I am sorry…

Chronicler: …
Kahi: Go away, Chronicler. Seeing you just reminds me of how much I failed today.
Chronicler: I didn’t exactly do too good today either. In fact, my investigation kinda sucked, but hey, I didn’t get much time.
Kahi: Aren’t you supposed to be investigating or something?
Chronicler: No, Var decided that Waj should do the rest. It’s better that way.
MT: Hey, at least I wasn’t found guilty yet.
Kahi: I don’t care about that right now. I’m worried about Eljay.
MT: Oh, he’s gonna be just fine, Kahi.
Kahi: What do you mean? How do you know?
MT: Well… I was watching the show when you were doing your yelling and stuff. Turns out he won’t have to eat it until tomorrow.
Kahi: …
MT: Well, are you happy or what?
Kahi: I’m just happy that it’s over for today. Looks like I won’t get any sleep tonight.
MT: Right. You should go home how.
Chronicler: Meanwhile, I gotta take MT back to the slammer.
Kahi: Goodnight, guys…
I couldn’t sleep very well that night. But after a few cups of coffee in the morning, I knew I had to be more prepared. Besides, Varderan had a much better investigative team working on it now. All I needed to do was organize some things and visit MT in the detention center.
