Mm. I doubt that's rare, tonight.

[ravenry]

Likely not. What are your thoughts on it?

[expiries]

First and foremost, that it was a farce and an exhausting spectacle.

[ravenry]

A farce? Of what kind?

[ she agrees that it was exhausting, though. ]

[expiries]

That was not a trial. It was a mix of children and people wholly unused to and untrained for investigating murders pushed into a room for an exceptionally small length of time, desperately searching for answers.

[ravenry]

[ she has no frame of reference for trials because that's not a thing she deals with in her world. ]

There wasn't much else we could do. [ they were all forced to be there. ] It was an investigation even if it wasn't a trial.

[expiries]

That's my point. There should have been something else we were allowed to do.

[sighing and calming slightly, after a moment.]

...But I am not too interested in hypotheticals, either.

[ravenry]

What would you like to have been able to do?

[ he said he wasn't interested in hypotheticals, but it's a sincere question. ]

[expiries]

I would have liked a longer time, and to have actual forensic equipment to examine evidence. But - as I said. That's only a hypothetical.

[ravenry]

What does... forensic equipment do?

[ she says forensic like it's foreign to her because it is. ]

[expiries]

To my understanding, it can analyze blood and fingerprints. So that it can more easily identify who has been present at a crime scene.

[ravenry]

Is the equipment fast enough to do it before nine hours are over? If so, that would be preferrable to what we did.
