inner thoughts to Maya Go ahead. This works better when I have someone to work off of with this.

*Corax smiles at them*
Very well. I will explain my reasoning for my questions. Each of you were questioned by different agents. In my time with the Tribunal, the bureaucracy and attitude of my colleagues has been left wanting. Most of the people I have encountered have all acted as if they have something to prove, or would rather be anywhere else and so they seek to wrap things up as quickly as possible. I have seen people here who have accosted me because of my race, my record, any who knows what else. Imagine what they might do to someone whose head is on the chopping block.

This is why I need to know who interviewed you, what agenda they’re pushing, if they honestly believe that you are guilty, etc. Your glibness at this does not inspire confidence. My time is limited and so is my charity.

While you write down and think about what I have asked, my colleague Maya would also like to ask some questions.

Inner thoughts to "Peregrine" and Hopkins: *Agreed, I'll try to push a little harder.*

That's cute, Mr. Lorrence. On the topic of divinity and gods there are some among my people who believe in a whole other doctrine. The Church of Inkiversus has grown quite a following, despite the perhaps entirely valid claims that we were made as pure constructs by a mad creator deity, the very same of which is sitting here with us now. Divinity and creation is puzzle to which there is no solving and to it all I say "So what?" If you throw out the idea of creation inherently puts one above another you won't put them on a pedestal.

We're not here however to banter philosophical, you are all here because you all stand accused, and you wouldn't be here if there wasn't evidence. When threatened or your morality questioned, some of you have tried the old "deny, attack, reverse victim and offender your way out." A very basic tool for one backed into a corner.

Of course, sir. *Corax holsters his gun.*

Corax's thoughts to his team: Well done Hopkins, Maya, and you... "Peregrine." I want you to keep watching everyone, the purpose of this was to watch their responses. Keep watching and observe any odd behavior that seems out of character for what we know about our suspects. Especially watch Triumphant.

I apologize for the surprise, but it was necessary for the exercise in which I was conducting. I wanted to see their reactions based on being back into a corner, as these ones are the most likely candidates to be considered as working with, or are Happy the tragedy phantom, and since it is also a possibility that the one who is Happy may not be aware of it, it was also a test of their subconcious.

The following is my own conclusions. Felafaf is innocent, she showed more moral worry and panic even worrying about my own position, as well as the well being of suspect Melkior and the fact that what I was doing was to quote her 'Unjust.' Happy would want me to continue as if I was making a mistake, why interrupt me? Never stop your enemy when they are making a mistake.

Lorrence was quick to point fingers to Sirius as the suspect, but his reasoning for which involves the mishandling of the being known as 'Essence of Life.' As for what we know Happy seems to relish the chaos of it all and making it dance to his tune. I think it's fair to strike Lorence as a suspect, for now.

Sirius is an unknown is this but also is too honest. Honest people make many mistakes, and that is something Happy does not do. He doesn't fit the behavioral profile.

Oxidius was more quiet than anything and his behavior showed more unrest and worry for his... Companion. Happy would be willing to throw anyone under the bus to get what he wants as we have seen, certain people be damned.

Melkior was egging me on, again why interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake, even demanding at one point that I shoot and kill him, continued to taunt his fellow interrogates. At this time, I feel more questioning of him may be appropriate as he certainly fits the behavioral profile.

The mad creator... He found most of this entertaining. Again, possible fit for the psyche profile, however it is intriguing the answer he gave as to who he accused. In fact both he and Melkior gave interesting answers. We can discuss that later in the debriefing.

Inner thoughts to Hopkins, Maya, and “Peregrine”: Something just occurred to me. Watch Lorence carefully. His body, it’s not his real body. It’s a corpse puppet, a kind golem made from dead flesh that he pilots from a separate location. How is this possible? In recorded interactions with Happy, he’s used similar abilities with puppets, and what’s more is that beings like Essence of life have also been able to use corpse puppets. One of you, ask him this is actually possible. By what technology or magics is this being done?

As a matter of fact, Lorrence there is. As Melkior- oh speaking of which, Practical Maya, please bandage his wound if you can? Thank you.

As I was saying Lorrence, something that was said intrigued me. The body which we currently see, it's not your actual one isn't it? Your real one is still under our custody, and the one we see now is a limited corpse puppet that acts as something a golem, made from dead bodies. It is interesting because this ability has been used by Essence of Life in the past, and what's more, every interaction with Happy the Tragedy phantom has also been through a construct. How did you acquire such an ability? I've heard of certain members of your world that go into a coma and bring forth astral projections that have certain powers as long as they are bound to someone. Is this similar to that? I am interested to know where this ability comes from as it may shed a light on how Happy has also used his construct. If we can pinpoint the origin of this, then it may bring new evidence to light.

Interesting. It raises another question however. How you are able to command your corpse puppets? From what you have said, I wouldn't be surprised if your puppets are corpses of yourselves from other timelines. If Essence could do something similar it must mean that her puppets had to have had part of her other selves in them, perhaps to... establish some neural/telepathic link? It would work better if its your own brain and body. Would you say this is correct, Mr. Lorrence?

> It is Essence singing a song and you can look at how each person reacts to it.
By all means.

Inner thoughts to Maya, Hopkins, and "Peregrine": I expect there will be a lack of a reaction from Happy, watch for that among our accused. This includes Triumphant.

I think the when this recording was made was near her death. She knew that at some point in the near future, she was going to meet an end and would have to accept, whether she was ready for it or not. As for who it is for, it is for three people. One of them is Happy regarding how he treats her. Another is for the other Ana's, particularly the one known as Scarred Ana, the two were on opposing sides but there was a deeper connection between them. Lastly, I think this was also self-pity for herself. I suspect Spirit Contaminator kept this as a memento.

I am more interested to see how everyone else found this performance.

*Hopkins mumbles something noncommittal and tries to sneakily look through his notes, as he doesn't remember who this girl is. It sounds like she's had a rough life, but so has every other person in this room by the sounds of it. She could be connected to any of them, so he's looking for any emotion showing on any of the suspects' faces in the wake of the sad song.*

*Corax pulls out his notepad and begins to write and talk*

Peregrine denotes the song, and our reaction as "cute" then backpedals asking why he said it, saying something else made him say it.

Triumphant shows no immediate outward reaction, other than annoyance and suspicion at being a suspect.

I think when considering this, we have to look at 2 things. One, how each suspects feels the song relates to them, and how Essence relates to each suspect as well.

1. Melkior's reaction seems annoyed more than anything, as if remembering a bad memory. Based on his track record with women, it wouldn't surprise me if he attempted sexual contact with Essence and was rejected or worse.

2. Oxidius seemed more fascinated, as someone who studies beings like her and Andrew Goodwill, getting a view into their psyche would no doubt be intriguing.

3. Lorence, no reaction and the only emotion showed was boredom. He doesn't like Essence and probably knows enough about her to want nothing to do with her.

4. Felafaf and The Mad Creator showed the most emotion during it, I suspect that they as near godly beings themselves were showing sympathy for how they felt, I assume what Essence was singing about mirrored their own feelings.

5. Sirius showed amusement. I suspect he thinks it was just a good song.

Given this information and speculation, I'd like to ask them what they think of Essence of Life and have each of them give testimony to any interactions they might have had with her see if there is any contradictions based on prior knowledge.

Agh, are we even going anywhere with this watch their reactions bit? Whoever is Happy must be skilled at hiding their emotions to have gone unfound so long.

Sure we could look then at how Lorence and Sirius had the most muted response, and assume they are hiding their true emotion. But any of the others could be performing to throw us off.

At the end of the day, cases are decided by evidence, and all we have here is speculation.

We threaten him with knowledge he doesn't know about, or we threaten him with a weapon. There are two things I can think of that we say we have.

1. Is the Smile of Essence, we have recovered it and have already begun tests on it to determine its power.

2. Happy himself may not be aware there is another organization that is aiding him, but wants him to win. This other organization has stated that they do not want him knowing about it, as such it would throw a monkey wrench in both of their plans. This one I find more likely as it would take out two of our enemies.

No. 1099119 ID: 355e44

What would really help would be catching a suspect with knowledge they shouldn't have, unless they were Happy. With all the subterfuge going on, Happy probably doesn't know how much we know. So we should trick him into saying something that he doesn't know that we know he shouldn't know.

But I don't know what that would be.

Thank you all for your patience. Some new evidence has come to light that pertains to you all. After review of the interrogation of the living painting Mad World, it has been determined that we have a more substantial credibility to the identity of Happy as the painting living Mad World has been in contact with him and has turned over more evidence.

Should any of you have any information that can corroborate Mad World's testimony on Happy, we will take it at this time.

> To Melkior
I am not at liberty to say as it is classified until this case has come to its conclusion. However I can say that the report he gave included him giving over a name and the names of his associates, most of whom we already have in captivity or are deceased. To quote Mad World: "Happy moves like a symphony, with an orchestra of the damned. The Spirit Contaminator, Essence of Life, and even that centipede beast—all parts of a grand performance. But make no mistake, Happy writes the script."

> To Felafaf
Thank you for you contribution.

> To Aisantue
We have the records of that, there are some who even suspect that Mad World was acting on Happy's Orders when the painting attacked her. Of course that would place a target on your back as you brought her here, possibly as a set up.

This also sounds like a non-sequitur but I don't believe it is. That was too specific, and the with the talk of the Ash Tree... Hm. Toothpick here knows more than they are letting on. And apparently both Toothpick and Happy have a deeper connection with the Ash Tree...

*Corax chuckles to himself.*

Mr. Toothpick, are you familiar with the being known as Happy the Tragedy Phantom? It's funny you keep mentioning imaginary friends. I recall reading documents in this case about a battle between imaginary friends, our chief Gates Triumphant here had a minor role in that. The battle between Essence of Life who was under the control of Happy the Tragedy Phantom and the Voices of Ana who were fighting to ensure that Ana herself never fell under Happy's thrall. Based on what you know, can you provide any testimony or evidence as to who Happy the Tragedy Phantom might be, given both you and he have a connection with the Ash Tree?

to team(So what I'm gathering is that Happy has a happy-go-lucky attitude 'like Melkior was acting'. But the real Happy is keeping that in check. So we need to wait for him to slip and let that carefree personality shine through.)

to Hopkins: Combine that with a good amount of sociopathy, willingness to sacrifice others for personal gain, and a good amount of intelligence, enough to know how to create parasitic life forms, and that's more or less the full picture.

Inner thoughts to team: watch everyone else, we have bait now we lure out our fish. Mr. Toothpick is our bait.

Mr. toothpick, you contradicted yourself. You said the Ash Tree TOLD you about the Mad World painting but then turn right around and say you are only able to hear it meaning communication with the Ash Tree is impossible. Which is it?

Inner thoughts: Their lies remind me of DeRvan, but Despite covering their face with a mask,“Toothpick” here has an awful poker face. Just a little more…

Mr. Toothpick, you continue to be contradictory. You say they only cause you problems and cause chaos, so then why cover for the voices of Ana when it’s clear you have so much animosity towards them? Why protect them? Or are you protecting yourself?

> What information does this wood person even have for you?

*Corax smiles, like he's just got a winning poker hand*
Everything.

Mr. ToothpickYou speak as if you have a lot of first hand experience. Now granted, the voices do talk to other people, Lorrence for example has- described his own experience with them. The difference is he is nonchalant about it, where you are passionate, and very hateful about them. You know more about them than you let on...

And speaking of lies! Lorrence, you let your own mask slip there. You said:

> No... No I have not lied, for her.

Implying you have lied, just not for Felafaf. You know who is under "Toothpick's" mask. Why when they "think about their own existence they fall apart." That is because the do have an identity. They are pretending they don't. The one thing that "Toothpick" did not lie about, is they do have very deep connection to the Ash Tree. So deep it would let them hear the voices regularly enough to talk with them and know them; personally...

Inner thoughts: Come on Happy, take the bait...!

Do you know how they catch the killer in M? Getting a mark on him so he doesn't realize. Think your string could get a mark on him, subtly?

Obviously. I think Happy has made a move. These things are Spirit Parasites. If you want to live, kill these things and do not get bitten.

It seems you have earned a chance at redemption, Doctor Punk. I ask that you aid Inspector Peregrine as he has undergone a Spirit Parasite attack. I do not know for certain that there is a vaccine against it but I suspect the Tribunal anticipated it and has one. If anyone would know, it would be you.

It seems an attack of Spirit Parasites have begun and Happy has made a move. I need you to act our eyes in order to find and end this and save our convulsing companion. Our lives are once again in your hands, Doctor. Understand that while it may be possible for you to betray us in this situation, leaving us to our fates, that also leaves you in an unknown situation.

For the next suggestion you first have to mention what did your character do. Stay in the room or follow the punk doctor and then you can write what did they do next.

Fair point, a gunshot would definitely draw attention, and I don't have a silencer. Alright, we stay low and don't make noise. Let's move.
