TBH, it's really getting dull watching the arguments go in circles. Can we try to speed up the trial so we can enjoy more Chen antics? D:
> Be straightforward about it and ask what Lunasa what she's playing at.
>I'll try, without you know, cheaping everything out.
You just ask her. She has done the same, after all.
"Her testimony, while ideal, is pretty much either a lie or so messed up it won't do any good. She is essentially wasting time, so, I'm going to say we might as well throw her out and discard her testimony. Any objections to that?"
Kogasa recoils on the stand. "T...Throw out?! Reconsider, please!"
>"You're missing the point, putting into context of what Kogasa saw, Mystia was chasing the assailant INTO the bird youkai forest, where the crime of scene was. It is very possible that Mystia chased the assailant before the crime took place!"
>I think we should call Mystia for testimony on this claim. :/ We're getting nothing out of Kogasa.
"This idea of yours has bothered me from the start. For one, it isn't possible. May I call you back to the affidavit? The crime occured at two hours and five minutes ago. Kogasa says she saw them around two hours ago.
While this is fine and dandy- There is something else pushing into this, Kogasa has a better method of time keeping then say, Mystia. The tengu, while still youkai, are very good at keeping pace. If the position they were at was two hours from where it is now, than there isn't more than a few minutes worth of leeway. Certainly not 5 minutes, plus however long it took for all three of them to come to the murder site.
Add to this the fact she saw neither the victim, heard none of the breaking trees, and the fact Mystia only came in at the end of the struggle, we have no good reason to believe that is what happened. She didn't see anyone leave either. If Mystia had been delayed by Kogasa as well, she would have mentioned it around the ruckus part.
There is no good reason to believe she saw the assailant heading TO the scene of the murder."
This is followed up by another AIR VIOLIN Solo.
>She's probably trying to discount Kogasa's testimony now, since it can be used to poke holes in Mystia's.
Well. Depending on who you think isn't lying, this is probably true.
