shit. He called my bluff Alex then switches the bullets for blanks and fires one into the air "Wake up everyone, cuz it's life or death!" Puts away pistol

Sho covers his ears when Alex fires the blank but otherwise isn't too disturbed, staring at him with a look of disdain You aren't exactly making a good case for yourself either. Setting fires, putting up weird skulls, and being a necromancer, you wouldn't have any qualms killing somebody, for this. I believe you are the Killer Alex!

Shift off himself... That'd be smart wouldn't it? Yes this whole thing is clever. "Alex and Orchis are the two likely people from where I'm standing. Now, hard evidence wise I can't really say anything from 100% sure... But I do have son thoughts." She'd point to Alex, kid is what? 10-12? He's blunt rude and seems to have no talent for being quiet. "He's not good enough to pull this off, sure the stupid skulls could be an attempt to toss people off track. But frankly I think that's a tad too clever for a kid fool enough to call himself a necromancer." And then you have Orchis. All nerves except when she's pushing blame onto others. Now she'd point at that one. "It's pretty sad to be saying this... But I have to go with my instincts here, from my view you look clever enough to do this, spooky clock gives a motive. And that's sadly all I can say for certain. Even so, it's enough to me." I'm voting for Orchis, her blame shifting and motive combined with the simple fact she seems far smarter than our other likely culprit leads me to her. Our killer isn't dumb enough to pull a gun mid trial.

@Maya_ Make sure to DM Cait your vote

Orchis giggles to herself, glancing over at the wall, before nodding Yes master, of course. We know exactly who did it. Everything will be alright soon. Orchis takes a deep breath, shaking her head before putting in her vote and not announcing it to the world because these are supposed to be secret and not influence each others' voting processes. That's why we DMed Cait instead of announcing it here. Its not that hard guys

Alex is violently sent to the ground wondering what hit him "Fuck. Well why would I kill? I have no issues on the topic, sure, but why? I was in the 72 hr group, and I couldn't get into the vents in the first place, and- wait, did you bad mouth necromancy? Well I'll have you know that ressurection is costly and that I have given others my own life force plenty of times. Also, my bad, lost it for a second."

"And the votes are in! And the winner, or in this case, the loser is........ MARIONETTE! You guys guessed on the dot, you got the culprit correct!' REASEARCH GROUP TRIAL END! "Well then, puppet! Any last words before your punishment?"

Orchis shivers glancing nervously back and forth between Monokuma and a particular spot on the wall M... Master... Y... You said it would be alright... I thought... The girl goes limp for a moment, almost as though her strings were cut. She remains there, silently for maybe half a minute, before snapping her head upwards with a maniacal grin. HAHAHAHA... Even if this is it, I'll be sure to see you fools in your dreams. With that, a set of razor sharp wires, well-honed like blades begin stinging out of her right glove....

If you're thinking about killing the rest of us, don't. Monokuma doesn't want his game ruined.

Cent just locked up in shock and surpise. Wait they got it but they messed up at the last second how? "We....We actu...We actually lived through it? I......but we....and she.....how did this work out?"

Heh. You kill someone innocent, you should expect to be found out. I couldn't pin the murder on you, but the small coincidences here and there added up in the end I guess. Good luck in hell! Star waves her hand goodbye at Orchis.

"Sorry, puppet! I don't want anyone dying just yet after the trial! Actually wait, yes I do! Because of your punishment!" Monokuma laughs maniacally. "Anyways, a special punishment will be given for the ultimate puppet! Let's give it everything we got! IIIIIITS PUNISHMENT TIME!!!" GAME OVER Marionette has been found guilty. Time for the punishment!

hehehe... HAHAHA. Not a chance moron Orchis? Finally stands, lunging across the room to lash out with her wires at Monokuma. This might be a good time to actually do the punishment, rather than simply talking about it.

As a metallic claw grabs Orchis by the neck, she is dragged into a A very long corridor. She is shown going through this corridor on a TV in the trial room. Suddenly, she is dropped into a stage. It almost looks like a puppet stage. Suddenly, metallic strings latch on to her, those strings being controlled by a ginormous Monokuma. A name can be seen on the TV screen, that name being: "One Final Show" As she's dragged around by the giant monokuma, many smaller Monokumas watch her being dragged around. Almost like a normal puppet show, but this one has death involved. Suddenly, the giant monokuma roughly messes with the strings, ripping her arms off. The small Monokumas clap for joy, and the curtians fall. Except these aren't normal curtians, these curtians are saw blades. The blades cut right though her, splitting her in two. And all that was seen from the TV screen. Great job on that murder, Marionette. Remember to pm me and cait for things you can do now!

...holy shit that was brutal...sooooooooo... let's all try to forget what just happened with some food, yeah? Star looks at every else in the room.

"...W-what...? What the hell h-happened..?" Orchis was the killer...If she didn't act out in the last minute, we would all be dead instead.

After seeing what happened to Orchis on TV, she went to a nearby trash can and starts to barf inside of it, thowing up what she ate today. Bleh... *pants* Oh my god..... This *pants* is *pants* too *pants* edgy.

"Well, that's what happens when you get caught with murder! Except everyone's execution is different, of course! Upupupupu~."

"Wow that was....How much did you gotta pay for that kind of production value jesus that was amazingly brutal where did you get the money for this..." He turns over to Star's request and gesutres back with a Soda bottle on him. "Bu-but we probably should stop asking and forget what am I saying.....Uh Soda anyone?"

"Let's just say that I had a little help, upupupu~."

Katsuo enters the class trial area, holding a mug of coffee. He yawns. "Sorry I'm late, guys, slept in for way too long because of sleepless nights..." He takes a look around. "Why the long faces? What happened?" He hasn't noticed the cat ears that were secretly placed on him.
