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!

['Dude, are you seriously trying to kill me?'

'Why wouldn't I?!'


And she wipes it away.

He clings to her hand as she leans in, his arms trembling, tears still rolling hot and bitter down his cheeks like the time a Hundlegs clipped him and he didn't know he was bleeding--and she wouldn't let him bleed, either, she protected him even from Akira, even though they're just looking for the one who killed Miki.

Her eyes are so blue, and in the left, there's a mark. It blurs, but he blinks and there it is again. He blinks and she's still here for him, steady as she's been the whole time, and he... even now, she...]


How... can you say that, when you're...

[After that brief, stunned moment of silence, he falters again, quieter--sinking into sorrow rather than fighting to deny it.]

When you're the one... who's gonna... How can you worry about me w-when... it wasn't your fault, either!

[think think]

Petuu! Do you dole out all punishments yourself, like you did with Chloe?

Not necessarily. I don't need to come over here to do that.

[...

The answer that pitter-patters in her heart isn't something she can just. Say. Not like this. Maybe in another time and place...maybe when all is said and done. Maybe if they're at rest together, which...hopefully wouldn't be for many years to come.]


...Worrying for all of you is all I have left.

[So she says the closest thing to it.]

Being there for the people who need help the most is all I've ever done. If these are the last moments I ever get to see...that's what I want to use them for.

No. Now stop asking me questions and solve your own murder case, Trickster. Unless you want to have a vote already?

[He can't fight this anymore, can he?

His grip on her relaxes, but doesn't loosen. Gently, he just pulls her close again, sniffling and crying, but done. Defeated.]



...It was selfish, but... I-I wanted to spend way, way more time with you...

...It's not your fault. Zombina is right, none of us had any idea what was going to happen last night. [Except maybe Miki's killer.] Blaming yourself right now won't do any of us any good.
in4apounding: (stop talking)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2017-10-28 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
That's- that's so cruel.
karappo: (you told me to pour the gatorade on you)

[personal profile] karappo 2017-10-28 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
It is. But from what we have gathered...it does not seem like these two incidents were connected. It was mere coincidence they happened together like they did. Especially if Lucina-san did not know Miki-chan had passed...

[and once he's calmed he goes to look at the purple flakes and the shovel smears. Are they a match to each other?]

strip search v.2.0 ig?!

[personal profile] batfortheprincess 2017-10-28 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[SCREAMING INTERNALLY as he very reluctantly speaks up]

Um... i-if you could, please strip all the way to your underwear, just so we can rule injuries out entirely. We can divide it by gender so that... no one sees anything... extra. We... we may also want to consider inspecting everyone's clothing, just in case.

[And then he'll start off (although he'll make sure no girls are watching so he doesn't flash them); like before, there's no recent injuries anywhere on his body and his jumpsuit doesn't have any weird stains or tears or anything.

[ ONCE AGAIN, MARISA HAS ZERO SHAME AND WILL STRIP IN FRONT OF ANYONE, SO UH, GOOD LUCK WITH HER.

She's clear, aside from some old scars. ]
titularly: (that he started crying)

[personal profile] titularly 2017-10-28 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[At this point, Osomatsu's not even gonna question anything. He just strips down to his underwear, with a couple more bruises on his legs, but that's about it.

His clothes are also completely clean.]
batfortheprincess: (♦ are you certain of this?)

[personal profile] batfortheprincess 2017-10-28 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[LOOK SOMETIMES Y'ALL JUST GOTTA TAKE ONE FOR THE TEAM]
karappo: <user name=winterbolt> (well im just gonna sit here naked)

[personal profile] karappo 2017-10-28 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[Karamatsu does not hesitate. He removes his clothing as well- with...CONSIDERABLE difficulty because god those pants are tight- but he keeps himself at least reasonably angled behind his podium for the sake of some decency. Not that he personally cares, but. You know.

He's completely clean, no other bruises, cuts, or issues with his clothing. Just that black eye.]
discalibur: (046)

[personal profile] discalibur 2017-10-28 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[We're just keeping all the stripping going, okay... Thank god for the gender divide, because Tsurugi isn't quite shameless enough for this.

When he's all, uh... stripped, you can clearly see a few old scars. Some look just a few weeks old, even. Definitely like someone who's seen his share of battle.







Oh, and then there's the gash on his leg, that looks pretty nasty.]
photoshooter: (SQUINT 📷 Well that's just unsanitary)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2017-10-28 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[This is despair. Everyone is stripping while his life is falling apart around him. Prompto watches the others blearily, incredulous, but... huh.]

...When'd you get all beat up?
batfortheprincess: (♦ are you certain of this?)

[personal profile] batfortheprincess 2017-10-28 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[welp]

...How did you get that wound on your leg?

karappo: i totally forgot how to use my arms (when we were standing)

[personal profile] karappo 2017-10-28 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
...Tsurugi-san. What happened to your leg?
titularly: (sry i lent my fucks to choro for the day)

[personal profile] titularly 2017-10-28 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
A couple days ago.

[Osomatsu shoots a glare across the room at his brother.]

I threw something at Karamatsu and he beat the shit outta me for it.

The--

[He frowns, seeming honestly confused. And he just... looks down at his leg.]

What? [...No, what?] I-- I don't know.
