Azura had nearly fallen over when the explosion happened, and when the investigation began she stayed quiet and stood away from the group, quietly observing as they threw accusations back and forth and whatnot. Could she still even help vote after what she did? What ig she ended up voting wrong and they figured that she was trying to throw them off? Last thing she wanted was for people to think that way, it would cause too much frustration and headache if they were persistent.
Besides, something like this was out of her league.

Road wasn't going to argue the fact that it could've been her. Why would she? It hadn't, but that wouldn't stop these idiots would run circles around themselves before deeming anyone guilty. The thought of saying she did it, fighting away from the group and perhaps go try and take this mission on, on her own. At least she'd feel like they accomplish something.
Then she spied little Azura in the back of the group - remaining silent. It was smart, but unfortunately, Road had spied her and decided it was time to have even more fun. It didn't matter who killed them to Road. It probably wasn't malicious, but just more mind control and the culprit wouldn't be dealt with. Again. Heh.
"Perhaps it's a repeat offense?" Road began as she gracefully slid past Clark and began to b-line towards Azura. The poor girl was about to be the center of attention again. Road reached the girl and reached out, her arms wrapping around the girl's shoulders in something that seemed akin to affection. Suddenly, the Noah was drapped around the blue-haired girl with a smile. It seemed she had something devious in mind, judging by the heinous expression stitched across her canvas of a face.
"It could be anything! Maybe her chip is the only one that still works! Or perhaps she's just a dark soul that's really good at lying! Check the blue one's lungs for liquid maybe the explosion evaporated the evidence of how she drowned them! Oh, the poor child!"
Road leaned into Azura and placed her head on the girl's shoulders before grinning out at the group.

"I vote for Jinx as the most likely suspect, in my opinion."

After taking a little while to think things over, Senna decided to cast a vote for Jinx.

Penny frowned for a moment as he thought, and took another look around.
After taking a little while to think things over, Senna decided to cast a vote for Jinx.
"Eh... I'll leave my vote on Jinx then."
Blake wasn't sure on what else to say at this point.
"My my my...I knew I wasn't making much friends(not that I need 'em or nothin') but...okay yeah no lie, I figured this was coming sooner or later. Soon as I tried shooting those punks. Got no idea if I should laugh or cry...or cry from laughing." She shrugged her shoulders, hands raised up. "Guess I'll just skip all that until later."
She just lowered herself to the floor to sit down and await the verdict. She wasn't much for big filibuster speeches like those self-important pompous politicians. Impassioned pleading...nah. She just sat there, one hand pressed against her face, looking bored out of her skull. After four or so minutes of this, she sighed and her free hand raised up, mimed like a gun. She imagined one of those PROJECT droolbags just standing there at the edge of her imaginary gun barrel.
Even that seemed less than successful at remedying her boredom. "Lemme know when we can move on again, yeah?" She spoke to no one in particular.

"Road."
The princess barely spared a look at Clark as he swooped in between Azura and Road, though she did allow her eyes to linger on the Nohr princess, a quiet look of apology in her gaze. She understood that the Noah liked to stir things up only to hide her own feelings, or was it a way of an outlet? It wasn't helping the situation much.
She was also quite certain that Road didn't see Clark as a 'friend'. The man using such a flimsy excuse to her ally would only amuse or agitate Road further.
She snatched her ally's hand up in hers, holding on to her firmly.
"It's alright."
Despite the distrust heaped upon him now, she believed in his innocence. And if he was truly innocent, it was all on these people standing here to have lost another chance to find out one of the actual killers.
Tugging on Road's arm, she veered them both away from Clark and Azura, not a word escaping until she reached Alucard.
She looked up into his eyes once, before turning away.
"I vote for Alucard..."
And Hakuei smiled faintly at Road and the dhampir before continuing, her gaze like two twin chips of ice as she looked at the others in the group.
"Because I believe he is innocent and if you need actual solid proof of it at the expense of wasting your chance to find the actual killer... Then so be it."

Though he understood his ally was doing it to prove a point, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"I hate to see the culprit escape unscathed, but if that is what those who have accused me - with the exception of Lady Hakuei - wish, then so be it indeed."
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
