Calvin shuddered involuntarily as Emily called him out on his failure to mention that he had seen her.  Calvin turned to face her. [color=#93FFE8]"Jesus, we're jumping around so much and I'm just trying to wrap my head around any of this ."[/color] He turned towards the rest of the Infinites. [color=#93FFE8]"I did see Emily, and was going to mention it. Just so we're clear."[/color] Calvin breathed out a sigh before he tuned back in to try and keep track of all that was occuring, though he was intensely aware of the glances the other patients threw his way.
 
 Lucy and Noel started pushing for more details from those who had entered the pharmacy, and Calvin nodded along quietly. [color=#93FFE8]"Like I said, I was working in the crematorium and I burned my hand. It really fucking hurt, so I went to the pharmacy to grab some ointment or whatever. Mercy was there, doing something with Braden, and then she helped me out with my hand. Wasn't anything crazy, I ran my hand under water for a bit and then she wrapped it up. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't going to fall off or some shit. Emily did come after me, and I left pretty quickly after. If I had to say, I was gone sometime around 4:30 I didn't notice anything off with Mercy, but I don't notice much."[/color] There was a faint grin on his face that quickly fell away as he remembered himself and the situation he was in.
 
 Bollocks. 
 
 Everything had gone to slightly disorganized to a full on clown car of a trial. Alibis were thrown everywhere, Faith was already plotting a theory, and the mask was too much of a wild car to even begin to understand on his own. What they needed was someone to order everything out, but it seemed as though both Cyrus and Thomas were trying to get the one up and explain it all. The bandage was already a head turner, some people had noticed it, some not- him included. But why the entire bandage in the first place? The missing badge was another random entity that had to play in somewhere, after all, a manny wasn't going to just drop his identification nugget all willy-nilly. The mask was indeed a bit strange for it had to be used on [i]someone,[/i] but the Blood Donor hadn't known the girlie well enough to keep up with her habits.

It might not have been his 'turn' to talk with everyone talking almost over each other, but Ice said what he had to for his alibi, [color=orange]"I got some nasty bruises sparring with Alice, but the main reason I came over with Alice to the pharmacy was to take a look at my hand again, I tried to put weight on it while in the dojo and mucked it up again." He gave an almost comical look at the Infinite Recon, "Even though this Kinza didn't get even red in the face...So I just needed a bit of ointment, some new braces, and good ol' bandages, bit of a bronx that Calvin came after us or Mercy'd have patched us both up with the same stink."[/color]
 
[Color=red]"Hmm..A bit odd that almost no one saw the bandages on Mercy's hand before the party, besides Emily..."[/color] Alice thought to herself as she silently listened to the discussion, scratching the back of her head when mentioned in Ice's alibi. Strangely, Monokuma's comparison of an infected infinite to a hitman bothered her, the recon digging her nails into her arms at the thought of one of them unwillingly turning into a hired gun for the blackened.

[Color=red]"Then again, a bandaged hand can easily be ignored without someone pointing it out, so there isn't an accurate time when she first had patched her wound up, considerably...unless..."[/color] she looked over to Calvin, a quick look of disbelief appeared on her face, before she shook her head. [Color=red]"No, no...Seriously doubt he'd do something like this, even then, can't truely trust anyone in this damn place..." [/color]

Alice groaned in frustration. [Color=red]"I swear, this trial's gonna be the end of me."[/color]

Calvin was scanning the room intently, and he didn't miss Alice's pointed glance and shooken head. [color=#93FFE8]"Everything fine?"[/color] His tone was a bit tense, as if the words were being forced out. He just hoped to defuse the tension before it settled on him. His eyes carried some sort of unspoken message, though whether it related to the trial or something personal it was difficult to tell.

[Color=red]"I-I'm alright. This case is just getting to me, that's all."[/color]  Alice reasured Calvin, giving the metal worker a nervous smile.

While Ice may or may not have been able to understand heads or tails of what was going on with the main trial, he was keeping a close eye on the two of them. Whatever Alice was cooking up made him on edge, something had definitely happened between Alice and Calvin when they'd spoken at the party, but the Blood Donor had completely forgotten to ask Alice about it. But what they really needed to do with get to the bottom of this, and what with Alice's antsy stare, [color=orange]"You didn't see Mercy in plasters? It'd be kind of hard to miss with her right smack dab in front of you..." [/color]Now he sounded worse than the others, blast it all.

Calvin recoiled slightly as Ice began to question him. [color=#93FFE8]"Come the fuck on, dude."[/color] He said quietly, before raising his voice. [color=#93FFE8]"I didn't fucking notice it, big whoop. I didn't know that she was going to die, so why would I be watching out for every little detail?"[/color] Calvin raised an arm and blinked slowly. [color=#93FFE8]"I'm not the only one who isn't clear about whether or not she was bandaged!"[/color] 

Ice sighed, scratching at the back of his neck, he didn't mean to sound patronizing, but it may have come off that way. [color=orange]"Calvin, we're participating in a killing game where anything could be lethal [i]and[/i] you were getting bandaged by a Quack who hadn't gotten hurt in the last Night of Carnage. It'd be strange not to inquire of why she was hurt. There's no way you could've gotten that close to her and not seen the blood, did you pick up anything else? A smell? Maybe she flinched a little while patching you up?"[/color] Calvin might have not been able to pick up on it, but Alice probably could have, the question were more towards himself than the Metalworker, berating himself for not picking up on anything himself. Ultimately they had been in similar situations and Ice had been just as unobservant because of his own silly problems.

[Color=red]"Honestly, I haven't picked up on much since you were my main concern at the time."[/color] Alice spoke up, looking over to Ice. [Color=red]"I wonder if she was trying to hide her hand though..."[/color]

[color=orange]"She wasn't wearing gloves, she was with 'patients' all day, it should've been obvious! Blimey... " [/color]Ice leaned his good hand onto the podium, [color=orange]"Why can't we all just be observant for once?"[/color]

[color=#93FFE8]"I don't know what to fucking tell you, dude. I- I wouldn't have burned myself if I was operating at a hundred percent!"[/color] He tore off his right gauntlet to reveal a bandaged hand. He threw it to the ground, angrily unwrapping as he continued to speak. [color=#93FFE8]"I didn't smell shit, I didn't see shit, and I don't know shit. "[/color] He finished unwrapping his hand and held it up for the group to see. There was a thin pink line that crossed over his hand, slightly raised. 

[Color=red]"C-Calvin, settle down, take it easy!"[/color] Alice tried to calm the metal worker down, an expression of nervousness present on her face.

[color=orange]"It takes two words, we're not at a sailor spelling bee, lay off the Grand Theft Auto,"[/color] There wasn't anything left to argue over and he was starting to wind down, his eyebrow still twitching slightly but at longer intervals, [color=orange]"And for Apollo's sake, get some water and sleep after this, I don't want a body announcement to go off because you keeled over."[/color] He gave a rye smile, [color=orange]"Assuming we're not all executed after this."[/color]

There was a no shift in intensity from the Infinite metal worker, though his volume lowered enough for others to continue speaking. [color=#93FFE8]"I'll be fine."[/color] His tone was hardly convincing, though some piece of himself knew it to be true.

The glare Calvin got after that sorry excuse was worse than any look Ice had given him during their argument.

[Color=red]"Enough! I already deal with enough bullshit from these damn trials."[/color] Alice raised her voice at the two, resting her head in her hand afterwards. [Color=red]"Arguing will only add to this clusterfuck, and it's not gonna help figure the case out."[/color]

While he did his best to ignore the daggers emanating from Ice's eyes, Calvin felt a bitter retort rise in his throat to Alice's statement, but he stopped himself. Alice had just lost one of her closest friends. He was angry and hurt, but he understood what it was like to feel loss amidst the craziness of a trial.  [color=#93FFE8]"Sounds good."[/color] He stood quietly as he did his best to rein himself in.

Breaking from his stare down at the Infinite Metalworker, he glanced over at Alice sheepishly. Well that certainly went well. It was only after a second that Ice piped it, [color=orange]"By the way, I stopped by the pharmacy at around noon while the other three were there, don't exactly want to be lynched for not saying anything."[/color]
