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!

Karamatsu has a point. That roomba thing that came out of Miki's room--what if it hurt the culprit in defense?

Did anyone else see the roomba? It had a knife taped to it...did that knife have any purple on it?

[Because if so....there's our answer.]

[Shakes his head.]

No, please. You didn't deserve any of this as well.

And... thank you for telling us.

[There's a smile despite the sadness. Prompto did say that her words were needed, and it seems that maybe he is right. She inclines her head to Lucina.]

Please, I would like it if you called me Luna. I do think of you as a friend, Lucina. From what I have learned from Prompto and some of the others here, friends are more informal with each other when it comes to given names.

...You would've liked her. I wanted to- this isn't right. You should be able to meet her yourself.

[personal profile] quadjumps 2017-10-28 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
...I actually don't know if it was involved. If it came out from Miki's room, that means it was locked inside when the crime happened.

[ hm. ]

[Well since we're getting off track here -- Osomatsu included -- Osomatsu decides to take this chance to try and.. do..... sssomething.]

OIIIIIII!!

[And that's by screaming at the top of his lungs to get everyone's attention, as he's used to with five younger brothers who always argue about something.]

Isn't this just a big waste of time? We found out one murderer already, but we still gotta find out the other if we don't wanna die too, right? That's how this works, ain't it?

[He looks around the room at the other podiums, sweeping everyone a glance.]

So what are we missing? Cause it's gotta be something. There has to be something that someone missed! Everyone went around and looked for clues, right? Let's bring 'em all out again.. but like, the ones that have to do with Miki-chan.

[personal profile] karappo 2017-10-28 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[HMM...]

...you are probably right. I know it had a penchant for defending Miki-chan, but...if it was trapped in her room, it could not have reasonably done anything.

[personal profile] quadjumps 2017-10-28 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ fuck you man but you know what

for miki's sake he'll cooperate with you. just this once. ]


There was a table that was shoved near the door in the library. There was a dent on the wall behind her that was covered in blood. The library door was also dented and scratched up.

And without that, you don't have any powers?

[personal profile] theworldsliveliestcorpse 2017-10-28 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Can't believe I'm agreeing with ya, but yeah. Osomatsu-kun is right. There's gotta be something we're missing.

[Zombina's kinda stumped though tbh.]

None that I know of?

[He hasn't awakened to any convenient superpowers as far as he knows.]

I'm a skilled sword fighter, but that's hardly a power, I suppose.

[Karamatsu snaps to attention, reflexively. ...force of habit.]

Er...the only thing I found was the shovel. A shovel, spade smeared with that purple substance, with scratches in the metal floor beneath it.

It is also very heavy. We also confirmed it could not have been used to make those dents in the doors. It would have shown damage in that case, but it is not damaged at all.

Okay so, do we know why the table was up against the door? Was it like, a barrier or something?
karappo: <user name=winterbolt> (Karaoke will never be a sober sport)

[personal profile] karappo 2017-10-28 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
We need to find out how the wall and door was dented and scratched. The cafeteria floor was scratched in a similar way. It would take a lot to scratch metal like that, would it not?

I have a hard time believing someone did that with their bare hands. Is there another weapon or object not accounted for, here?
quadjumps: (i'm the youth)

[personal profile] quadjumps 2017-10-28 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
My guess is that Miki was using it as a barrier, yeah.

I think someone mentioned that it looked like Miki was barricadin' herself in the library. The table coulda been used for that.

Was the library door dented on the outside? That would be signs someone was tryna get inside.

There was a broken camera in the storage room, with broken glass scattered on the floor and upper shelves. The purple splatter that we identified as blood was also on the ground. Lastly, a number of cardboard boxes were scattered.

It seems like... there's two possibilities for who broke the camera: Miss Miki, or the culprit.
quadjumps: (a butterfly sparkles)

[personal profile] quadjumps 2017-10-28 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
It was.

[This is so hard. This is more difficult than fighting any foe, than staring down any uncertainty. But for everyone's sake...it must be done.]

I won't go. Not...not so long as you remember me. Keep me in your heart, and...I will always be with you.
andjerry: (this is fine.)

[personal profile] andjerry 2017-10-28 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Someone probably tried to climb the boxes, but... why would the camera be broken? [The answers are going to be really different depending on who.]
challengesfate: (to the horizon)

[personal profile] challengesfate 2017-10-28 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
...I know. I'm...sorry.
karappo: <user name=winterbolt> (I don't think its a good idea)

[personal profile] karappo 2017-10-28 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I wonder if someone was doing something they would not want to be seen by the Overseers. Why else destroy a camera?
keepmeinyourheart: (♫ And all this devotion)

[personal profile] keepmeinyourheart 2017-10-28 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
What... if it wasn't a weapon, but an ability? There are those of us who do have superhuman abilities.

[Not that she's implicating anyone. But it's something to think about.] I know my trident would be unable to do such damage, since the one I received here is a poor imitation made of plastic.
challengesfate: (is that so?)

[personal profile] challengesfate 2017-10-28 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[She'll stand at that, looking...very bright in the eyes, though it's from tears.]

Very well. I...have never been one for titles, myself. It...is an honor to be counted a friend to you...Luna.
