It's that time again, visitors! Time to gather in the graveyard, where two fresh, new graves have appeared, and two fresh, new victims have already been interred.
All the guests assemble in the cemetery and step into the great stone mausoleum, no longer needing Skelly to guide them. With a brief headcount, they are rather confused to find they number eleven—that's strange, there are only ten survivors. It takes a few moments for Mizuki to point out the errant individual, and points to Daisy. The princess mutters to herself and shakes her companion, whom the guests realize with encroaching horror is the dug up corpse of Madeline, who has begun decomposing.
As the guests panic and scramble to remove the cadaver, the doors slam shut. The floor lurches beneath them and they descend in noisy, abject terror. The doors open deep underground into an arching space where the visitors pour in messily, quite eager to escape the elevator.

They reluctantly take their places at their podiums, and have a moment of silence for the three faces now immortalized on the tombstones there: Aria, Yuriko, and Stanley. Skelly pushes Rei in her wheelchair to her podium before taking his seat on his rickety old stool. Rei is holding the wheelchair's contents in her lap: a pile of clothes, Punished Georgie, and a Model-700 Remington bolt-action rifle.
The ten guests cast wary glances at one another. By now they know exactly why they are here: to discuss amongst themselves, present evidence, give testimony, and resolve arguments to ultimately uncover the truth behind the deaths of Yuriko, the horror enthusiast, and Stanley, the Ultimate Button-Pusher, before they finally vote for the one whom they believe is the culprit. Should they vote correctly, as decided by a simple majority, the culprit will be appropriately punished for their misdeed. Should they vote incorrectly, however, the culprit alone shall escape punishment.
Without further ado...
Let the trial begin.
Trial 3 will last 72 hours from the creation of this thread. Should there be a unanimous vote earlier than that, it will end prematurely.
If the majority of players wish to prolong the trial further by the end of this period, a further period of time of up to 24 hours will be added, at the hosts' discretion.
You may ask questions of Skelly or The Narrator. Neither will ever tell a deliberate falsehood. Both reserve the right to ignore or refuse any question at their discretion. Please treat them with respect.
Above all, have fun!
