Turnabout a la Mode! Day 1 Investigation
The journey is far less painful than might be expected. After arriving in the Champ de Mars in Paris, the arriving strangers go unnoticed by the crowds all around, the people too busy whispering to each other in horror. Several are crying and others are carrying their children away from the Eiffel Tower which stands high above in the dark Paris night.
The area is hauntingly beautiful, with lights covering the trees of Paris's park and banners talking about the great Tic and Tac's final Parisian tour before going worldwide. So why is the entire place so somber?
The fact that the police are scrambling about is the first clue that something is very wrong. As the Visitors were warned, their powers are completely gone, leaving only their mundane skills. With no Persona to call on, it will make this entire journey far harder... but thankfully Minerva can be spotted close by.
But before anyone can do anything, she's being carried away by the policemen, put into a car, and carted off. The police bar the perimeter, looking at you in annoyance.
"Mesdames et Messieurs, the show is over, and this area is a crime scene. Please move back so as not to cause issues with the investigation."
It seems something terrible has happened...
But just as you're pondering your next move, another car screeches up beside the yellow tape, and a man with a fervent expression and a rather alarming mustache leaps out of the car. Gesticulating wildly, he descends upon the scene like a storm of extravagantly expensive cologne.
"Get back, get back! A terrible crime has occurred here! And I, Chief Inspector Otto Gaffe, swear that I shall not rest until justice is served!"
A flailing arm barely avoids breaking a nose as he impatiently pushes you out of the way.
"Who are you? ...Is that an attorney's badge?"
Perhaps this would be a good place to start.
((There will be no tag order so as to speed things along! But each group should only respond to the portions marked for them (A, B, or Defense). When all the necessary clues have been discovered, we will initiate Day 1 Court. You may respond!))

Otto Gaffe is impervious to your criticism. He is also impervious to gravity as he performs a remarkable mid-air recovery to somehow prevent himself from falling flat on his face.
"One is far preferable to fifteen amateurs running their fingers through the evidence like so much sand in the wind! But I suppose you, at least, have some qualification. You intend to defend the matron?"
no subject
"Of course I will! I'll prove her innocence. You just wait!" and with that, she give a peace sign with a cheeky grin.
no subject
But despite his huffiness, a hint of a smile peeks out behind the absurd moustache.
"We shall see, mademoiselle, we shall see. Minerva McGonagall has been taken to the detention center in the heart of Paris. My men will bring you and your... horde of companions if you wish."

He shrugs.
"She has no papers, no proof of entrance, no nothing. A more suspicious individual you could not find."
no subject
And if it wasn't McGonagall, it had to be one of the others on stage. She thought about saying that, but perhaps that was better kept to herself for the time being.

To Athena that seemed dimwitted and stupid. Of all the places or times a murder could have happened, it seemed like the only time was during the performance by going by his words. Who in the right mind would do something like that in the face of a crowd that size? Not to mention it led to the possibility that there was more to this that met the eye. No doubt there had to be if they were all coming from Hinoto-ri to Paris like this.
"And what about Tic & Tac. Where are they now?" she questioned.
no subject
He shrugs.
"It is quite ingenious, if she had not been hare-brained enough to watch her work in full view of the witnesses. Messieurs Tic & Tac are being prepared for the trial tomorrow by the prosecution. They will have time to see no one tonight."
no subject
"So you assume that she was supposed to be help in the background then?" Athena figured that was not the case already, but if it got any other information out from him, why not ask it? Being told about Tic & Tac made her let out a sigh. Of course the prosecution had them. This hadn't been much different from her luck on previous cases she'd been in. Still, that made things just a little more harder to figure things out.
"And the prosection... Just who intends to prosecute tomorrow?" she asked.
no subject
His words carry conviction.
"Prosecutor Hunter will be the one to see that this criminal faces the judgment they so richly deserve. Our poor, beloved Mademoiselle Anise...!"
