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!

[Oh my god now y'all're callin Penny out on this? How rude???]

Penny...whether that's true or not, I don't think you are the culprit. Please...don't be worried. Alright?

[Zombina'll give an impressed whistle at those bruises.]

Geez Kurusu-kun, ya look like ya got into a fight with an truck and lost!

[She just has to take off her jacket, since her casual wear doesn't cover too much. Zombina is wound free.]

[Look, she's used to wearing somewhat revealing clothes as the Oracle, but there is no way she's stripping in front of anyone not a maid-in-waiting.]

[personal profile] theundertaken 2017-10-28 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Max is wearing his own clothes today, so he just takes off his hoodie. He's wearing a t-shirt underneath, so you can see that his arms are clean.]
titularly: (oh. no. i was wrong. you cant do it)

[personal profile] titularly 2017-10-28 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well to that.. Osomatsu falls silent. He looks kind of disturbed hearing that answer but he doen't argue any more, at least.]
in4apounding: (i am so confused)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2017-10-28 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Isn't judging what we're here for?

[You've lost her, Manaka.]

Osomatsu found the knife. I was in the cafeteria.

[Here we go again.]

It does sound a lot like Miki-chan was eventually forced to defend herself. It is very likely she could have come across a murder in progress...which is a terrible thought, to say the least.

Holy shit Kara-kun, what the fuck happened to your eye!?

[Does Zombina need to punch someone for you? Zombina thinks she might have to punch someone for you.]

[a nervous look around, knowing that refusing is going to make him look bad; he rolls up the sleeves to the repressed space society shirt he's been wearing for the past couple days and tries to catch another guy's eye to take a look through the shirt collar. His arms are clear.]
in4apounding: (avoidance)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2017-10-28 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Penny rolls up what little sleeves there are on her dress, showing her arms to be completely wound free.]
titularly: (that he started crying)

[personal profile] titularly 2017-10-28 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, for once Osomatsu is quiet as he complies, taking off his jacket and spacesuit thing to reveal a couple of recent bruises on his torso and a scar from the fork that was jammed in his arm last weekend, but nothing more than that.]

[Zombina's gonna walk over and hold out her jacket.]

It's not much, but it'll help keep public decency a thing.

[Not that Zombina herself is too concerned about it, but still.]

Maybe...

Also, if Chitose was killed in her room, why was there a blood spatter in the library? That's what I can't figure out.
photoshooter: (EUGH 📷 THAT'S your plan?)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2017-10-28 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Okay, Prompto's blushing. Does he have to do this in front of everybody? His arms are very obviously on display already and uninjured, but everyone else is doing it and he gives in to peer pressure decides, well, if this is what's happening...

yo

Anyway, he's uninjured.]
in4apounding: (look down)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2017-10-28 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay. Thank you, Lucina.
karappo: im so much happier no one saw than that im not seriously hurt (it's funny that when I fall down)

[personal profile] karappo 2017-10-28 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sighs]

...Osomatsu threw a bath bomb at me, thinking it would explode. Suffice it to say it did not. It was like being hit with a rock.

Regardless...I can assure you this is completely unrelated to the murders. If you want a second opinion, you can ask him.

[He didn't want to have to show it off, but well his shame is out there now.]
immaculacies: (moving; changing from blue to red)

[Manaka has her dress back, so she unbuttons the top enough to show her shoulders and collar are free of bruises, though a stark black pattern is visible on her pale skin. When she pulls up each sleeve, her arms are similarly unwounded.]
batfortheprincess: (♦ please give me a moment.)

[personal profile] batfortheprincess 2017-10-28 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ah. Okay, so this is a thing that's happening. Slaine will strip to the waist without complaint, and what's immediately obvious are dozens of old scars all over his front and back. ...If someone's familiar enough with wounds, they look more like the kind you'd get from a flogging rather than anything else.

But there aren't any signs of recent wounds at all.]
theundertaken: (buried)

[personal profile] theundertaken 2017-10-28 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
What?

[Max would be the nearest guy, he'll come over and do it?]
in4apounding: (well that's just improbable)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2017-10-28 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, that looks like it really hurt...
andjerry: (dammit you ran right into it)

[personal profile] andjerry 2017-10-28 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[just. cringes. and saves that knowledge up for later.]
theundertaken: (departed)

[personal profile] theundertaken 2017-10-28 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
It was probably from Miki? She was in there.

[personal profile] discalibur 2017-10-28 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[okay we're doing this now

Well, Tsurugi's wearing his jumpsuit and he just kind of... deals with the sleaves and pulls the collar down. Looks like his arms and torso are clear.]

...

[Lucina lets out a quiet breath, nodding once. Right. This is necessary. This is important.

Slowly, Lucina opens up her top, letting the blue tunic fall open to reveal her upper arms.

Both are peppered with fresh bruises.]
