first trial

[With the announcement, the Champions are free to decide amongst themselves what order the groups leave in. Once that's done the process of teleporting is automatic and happens in the blink of an eye. Once second they're in the center of the cafeteria before a soft blue light surrounds them and then they're standing in the middle of a circle of podiums.

The room itself it the same shiny, chrome-covered atrocity as most of the rest of the ship save for the sections of floor that aren't the teleporter: those are thick clear glass that show nothing but empty space and stars beneath the Champions' feet. As for the podiums they're the same sort of garish chrome with a digital screen facing toward the center of the circle. The screens each have a name and title associated with a Champion written in green block letters, all save for Chloe Price, the Champion of Max Caulfield, Miki Naoki, the Champion Support and Chitose Karasuma, the Champion of Mediocrity. Theirs are a striking red and, floating above their podiums, are greyscale portraits framed in some kind of bold, mechanical-looking frame.

The Overseers are waiting when they all arrive, standing on a floating platform just high enough to be out of reach and back far enough toward a far wall to have a full view of the courtroom. Both are dressed well, Rox in a pressed grey dress jacket and skirt and Blaze in a black suit with the sleeves rolled up to expose his numerous tattoos.Rox is again the one who speaks up.]


Welcome, Champions, to the courtroom! Twenty of you have entered, but - in the best case scenario - only nineteen of you will leave. The goal here is to compile the evidence that you've gathered and figure out who the killer is. Once you think you have an answer, we'll call a vote where you'll use the podium in front of you to vote on the title of the Champion who you all agree has broken the peace. If you're correct, the culprit will be executed and the rest of you will be allowed to go back upstairs. If you're wrong, however, the killer goes free and the rest of you take the punishment in their place.

There's no time limit, but we reserve the right to call for a vote if things drag on too long. Now let the first trial begin!

...Mr. Osomatsu, even if he disliked her, accusing him of murder is going too far...!

No way!

[It bursts out of him. Don't attack his li'l blonde friend's honor like that!]

Miki wouldn't--she'd never! And--and besides, if she had the shovel, then how would she've used the knife? It's hard to use two weapons at once!

Okay, look, I'm not really besties with Yuri either, but that doesn't mean he kills people? Have you seen him, like, ever? He wouldn't be the first one here to do that.

We know Petuu bleeds purple. But if our profiles are to be believed, there are only two people whose species is not...entirely human.

Polendina and Zombina. Kirisame, yours has an odd note to it, but suggests you are in fact still human.
newcycle: Bonus: you tell them and they follow up with "but where are you REALLY from" (When someone asks where you're from.)

[personal profile] newcycle 2017-10-28 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Those two know. [a head nod to Rox and Blaze.]

We should ask.

I'm lookin' for a way to be immortal. But nothin' good's come up yet.

[Gods. This is just. This is a mess.]

If you keep yelling and carrying on, we might never be able to find out.

[If her podium wasn't across from his, she would come over and try and comfort him somehow. Unfortunately, now is not the time or place for that.....]

[he can't believe he's even going here but it's making him think of another recent murder with a girl lured to a remote location...]

...does it have to be someone she didn't get along with? The note was talking about "respect".
newcycle: (Coworker ate last of free food.)

[personal profile] newcycle 2017-10-28 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Or she tried to get in, and got caught.

It looks like the door held, so if she was already inside...

[He closes his eyes and nods. It's all he can do. It's what he has to do.

They'll get through this.]

challengesfate: (somewhat exasperated)

[personal profile] challengesfate 2017-10-28 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Especially if the shovel were heavy enough to damage the metal...why would someone who could use that bother with a knife?
photoshooter: (SAD 📷 Sad Prompto in snow)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2017-10-28 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
...Oh. It... wouldn't make sense for her to come out if she was.
in4apounding: (well that's just improbable)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2017-10-28 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. [hic] Exactly. It's perfectly normal. [hic]

One hundred or more pounds of it?

[personal profile] titularly 2017-10-28 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
...well honestly, I dunno if it was really talking towards someone she didn't get along with.

[Osomatsu pulls the note out again, to read it outloud properly.]

It says: "Will you come meet me in my room later tonight? I want to ask you about earning respect."

And it was signed by Chitose-chan.

It's possible... Though when I hear something like that I can't help but think of say, disrespecting a Yakima or something. But I could be reading it wrong.
challengesfate: (what...who...?)

[personal profile] challengesfate 2017-10-28 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly! That's what I was thinking...
theundertaken: (buried)

[personal profile] theundertaken 2017-10-28 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Woah, well, I think we can leave Penny out of this. Does Zombina even have...

...oh wait. You said you have preservative fluid or something, right?
in4apounding: (well that's just improbable)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2017-10-28 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? It didn't seem that heavy to me. Very solidly made, certainly, but you'd expect that from a weapon, even an atypical one like a shovel.
quadjumps: (i fell twice before)

[personal profile] quadjumps 2017-10-28 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
You really wanna go, huh?

[ yuri's staring osomatsu dead in the eyes, brow furrowed, fists clenched at his sides. he faces him head-on, absolutely fuming at the prospect that someone would accuse him of a murder he didn't commit-- ]

Let's see it then! Let's see your proof that I, for whatever fucking reason, killed Chitose. So what if I hated her? Does that make me a culprit?

Fuck no!

[ machine gun talk battle : S T A R T ]
newcycle: Bonus, "Why didn't you do this x way?" on Monday morning. (Feedback emails not getting answered.)

[personal profile] newcycle 2017-10-28 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Look... if there was a lot of blood, we should be looking for signs of it on someone's clothes.

And leave Yuri alone.

If the wound to Miki's stomach came from the shovel, it sounds like an unpleasant way to die. Maybe she thought the knife would be more humane.
karappo: <user name=winterbolt> (well im just gonna sit here naked)

As expected of you, Petuu-san.
