[indent][indent]Krista felt so immersed in the action that it was almost a miracle for her to hear Shaun over the louder voices of the other infinites. [colour=SlateBlue]"U-um... Kr-Krista..? Y-you never... g-gave me back m-my handbook... I-I can't see the cl-clues, s-so c-could I, u-um... h-have it back..?"[/colour] She peered over to him, almost blankly before—

Oh! Of course! She quickly fished the handbook out of the pocket of her dress but halted in her step. Was she even allowed to run off to hand over the handbook? Admittedly she could remember doing so last trial, but Monokuma didn't seem too impressed with everybody in general. It was like the bear heard her thoughts, because he interjected with an update to the rules and shone a spotlight on the violinist. Trying to waste no time at all, Krista shuffled out of her place and past the few infinites between herself and Shaun, trying to be quick. She ensured that the handbook she was returning was Shaun's indeed as to not be murdered for lending her own handbook on accident, before shuffling back.

[color=Cyan]“I mean, there was plenty to start the fire. The fact that this thing was covered in blood says it was used for more than tinder, right? Unless blood dripped off and onto it, but even then, shouldn't it be all burned up?” [/color]

As Krista returned, she heard Calvin say his point for... or against Krista. She stepped back onto her podium, hands gripping the railing for support as the cogs in her brain turned. [color=6c9b8f]"But if something else was the starting point, wouldn't Monokuma tell us? In order for this to be a fair trial I mean."[/color] She nervously rubbed the back of her head. [color=6c9b8f]"But... that means we have to trust Monokuma and that sounds unbearable..."[/color]

To clarify, she started again. [color=6c9b8f]"I mean... I think what happened was that the killer wore the gown so that the blood would not spill on their clothes and possibly wiped the knife they used to stab Marianne-"[/color] She inhaled sharply before releasing a shuddering breath. [color=6c9b8f]"They wiped the knife on the gown, and then used it to start a fire. I'm assuming that the sprinklers came on fairly quickly so that's why the gown wasn't entirely burnt?"[/color] She still looked uncertain.

She looked to Felix as he began to explain his thoughts on the case, and she found herself agreeing. Especially with what Jezabel said, there would be no need for such a large conduct so why have almost two dozen of them? The club seemed like a fairly reasonable idea, even if brutal. Krista closed her eyes, hoping that Marianne was at least unconscious when she was finally killed.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][indent]Elias reeled back as Jezabel giggled to herself. Had she finally lost it? [color=82a327]"So you're telling us that you wouldn't recommend using metal arrows as a conduct? [i]AND[/i] that Frenchie had her own buzzer? Oh man this plot twist train keeps going on!"[/color] The puppet then turned to Calvin. As Ice questioned Zachary, the puppet thought to ask the metalsmith some of his own questions.

[color=82a327]"And you. You say you made 24 right? Did ya give them all to Robin Hood or nah?"[/color] [/indent][/indent]
