	Jezebel wiggled her nose and folded her arms. Clearly miffed about the recent turn of events. [color=lightblue] “I mean like, a few minutes could totally be any length of time. But sure, whatever!”[/color] She turned her head away from Cyrus. [color=lightblue] “Not being mislabeled as the blackened is tre cool too.”[/color]

	[color=orange] “Oh, I'm not so sure Alice Masson is the blackened here.”[/color] Came the unusually calm voice of Ice. While typically anyone getting angry put the blood donor on edge. But even as Cyrus's rage came and went, he didn't budge an inch. [color=orange] “I could simply bring up that Alice could have kept her pie hole shut and remained safe. She actively chose to interrogate Parker in order to give us this clue. If Masson simply kept it to herself, there would be nothing tying her to this crime, and she'd get away scott free.” [/color] Ice started to pull the bandages off from around his head.[color=orange] "But you're about facts, so I'll indulge you. Alice Masson was with Mercy nearly the entire time after Shaun's body was found. They seem to be quite fond of each other, don't they? Alice even let Mercy hold her note. I can attest to them being together, because I was with them for the most part. I'm sure you could just ask Mercy too.[/color]

	[color=lightblue] “Hah!”[/color] Jezebel pointed at Cyrus [color=lightblue] “Like, I guess only politicians can make ASSumptions! You're totally for the democratic party!”[/color] Jezebel winked at Krista.

	[color=orange]But I'm more speaking up for when the three of us weren't all together. This includes when I entered the study alone to search for Shaun's handbook. Imagine my surprise when there was a carnage sister hiding on the other side of the door.”[/color] Ice reached into his coat. He pulled out a small leather wallet and turned it over in his hand. Ice looked like a child admiring an unusually big piece of candy.[color=orange] “I suppose I can't fault you for thinking that the one who found the wallet and the one who ditched the wallet were the same person. It would have been a lot nicer for me if I didn't have to explain what this wallet was. But it contains some nasty secrets about the trickster, which tie into me as well. Things like our time working for opposing mafia, like all of his fake IDs. They must have known the fire would have never burned this up.”[/color] Ice dropped the wallet on his podium and looked outward, not really making eye contact with anyone. [color=orange] “But I am prepared to spill my secrets if it means we all live. With this, and the work everyone put in, there is only one person who could possibly be the blackened.”[/color] He folded his arms. [color=orange] “So let's quickly review our most important discoveries. The original trickster described in the motive note is guilty, as they did not step forward to reveal themselves. That is because they feel their identity is more precious than everyone's life. The only ones not covered in the motive notes are Shaun, Zachary, and Jezabel. Bliss's note could describe either Jezebel or Shaun, but that's not important. ”[/color] the blood donor moved his arms to his sides. [color=orange] “Because only Shaun and Alice knew about Parker prior to the murderer. The wallet did present a nice alibi for him, but as we can see now, I was just hoping to get through the trial without needing to reveal I had it. ”[/color] He tapped the wallet [color=orange] “With any alibis for the search being rendered completely pointless, only one person could have both thrown the wallet and be the trickster on those silly motive notes.”[/color] Ice turned to look at Shaun. [color=orange] “Isn't that right, Shaun? Or should I say, Erin Steele?”[/color]
