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!

[Hey, Osomatsu. Remember how Penny is right next to you, and super upset about her friend being convicted of murder here.]

[Remember how she's in training to be a badass monster fighter.]

[Do you remember all that.]

[Because all that is adding up to Penny turning on the spot and smacking you across the face.]

.......do you sleep walk, Tsurugi-kun?
challengesfate: (thats not-)

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

[I mean truthfully she would be yell at this but now he's freaking out over lost time? Oh God??? What the heck happened]
theundertaken: (stiff)

[personal profile] theundertaken 2017-10-28 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)

It's... Just in the last year. Ever since my sister was killed, sometimes I just... Have gaps in my memory.

But Jiiya's always ensured me that nothing ever happened in those times. I-I assume that I just... fainted or something...
challengesfate: (hold on-)

[personal profile] challengesfate 2017-10-28 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Penny-

[cHRIST

I mean I would love her to brawl Oso in the middle of the courtroom but that doesn't mean Lucina wants anyone to do that for her]
discalibur: (019)

[personal profile] discalibur 2017-10-28 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
No, but I do have blackouts... sometimes...
titularly: (i just need words anyway)

[personal profile] titularly 2017-10-28 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh that.. oh.

Honestly Osomatsu wasn't expecting to get smacked like that, so it sends him to the side and he catches himself on his podium with his arms.]



...

[He's absolutely stunned into silence, rather he just stares up at Penny with a look of confusion and mild fear, as he brings a hand up to his red cheek.]

So you are saying that it is very possible something could have happened...and you just cannot remember it.

[...]

Tsurugi-san, when you woke up this morning, before the bodies were found...could you tell me where you were? Were you in your room, or somewhere else?

I-I...

[This is a lot. Everyone is coming at him suddenly and he can't explain his wound and he doesn't... feel good...

He might be hyperventilating...]
titularly: (hmmm)

[personal profile] titularly 2017-10-28 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
...blackouts? Like when you drink too much?
photoshooter: (AIM 📷 Piglet wait fuck JK)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2017-10-28 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
He does not! You're not--you are not a murderer, Lucina.
in4apounding: (look down)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2017-10-28 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't- don't talk about my friend that way.
discalibur: (050)

[personal profile] discalibur 2017-10-28 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
In my room? But... I think I rolled out of bed, I was on the floor...

[He doesn't understand.

He really doesn't understand this at all.]
challengesfate: (gah-!)

[personal profile] challengesfate 2017-10-28 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)

Look.

I don't drink, but... I don't know, I suppose? It's happened ever since my sister's death, but...
challengesfate: (just hangin around n i fell in love)

...

[You're too good for her, Prompto. You are too good for this world. Too pure.]
challengesfate: (bitterest resolve)

[personal profile] challengesfate 2017-10-28 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[yOU'RE GONNA MAKE HER CRY AGAIN]
challengesfate: (close call)

[personal profile] challengesfate 2017-10-28 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Making sure Prompto isn't going to turn into a puddle of tears to come over to you now buddy. She puts a hand on Tsurugi's shoulder, steady and calm.]

It's okay - it's going to be okay. You need to calm your breathing, alright? You need to become calm and focus. Can you try to breathe with me?
