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!

Well, in the art room... There were also two sets of footprints in the blood there, one of which appeared to belong to Chitose. So I don't think she was dragged there after the fact.

...Someone flinging the shovel around, scratching the floor, stabbing through people, and denting a door would have to be incredibly strong. That's not a very long list of people.
challengesfate: (sulking!!)

[personal profile] challengesfate 2017-10-28 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
That...does very little to narrow it down. All of us have someone important who was threatened - and desperation can motivate even the best of men.

What was she even doing out that late? It must’ve been like three in the morning.
quadjumps: (i transform with pressure)

[personal profile] quadjumps 2017-10-28 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
It's possible that there could have been more than one culprit.
photoshooter: (DISGUST 📷 You ate that??)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2017-10-28 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
...Did anyone find anything else that... that c-could've been used as a weapon? Anything with blood on it?
theundertaken: (offed)

...hey, buddy, it’s not your fault. You can’t hear shit in those rooms.

...maybe someone chased her in there then? If she tried to blockade herself in and the door was beat up...

Fuck, that could explain why they died so long apart if they had to fight to get at her.

[personal profile] titularly 2017-10-28 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe she went there voluntarily? She coulda' wanted to paint something before she died or something.
challengesfate: (hold on-)

[personal profile] challengesfate 2017-10-28 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Tsurugi's podium is between them, or else she'd reach out to Prompto. He...needs so much comforting. They all do. None of this is right.]

Do you think it was possible that...Chitose and the culprit fought, and the killing blow made, but...Chitose did not die immediately?
in4apounding: (look down)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2017-10-28 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
It was something sharp, but- the cut was strangely irregular. I thought it might be her shovel, for a moment, but-

[She shakes her head.]
challengesfate: (unreadable)

[personal profile] challengesfate 2017-10-28 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
That's what I think. Both of them were wounded in the stomach, but it sounds like...beyond that, there's not much connecting the acts.
quadjumps: (a butterfly sparkles)

[personal profile] quadjumps 2017-10-28 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Like I said earlier, there's also the possibility that there was more than one culprit involved.
quadjumps: (i'm the youth)

[personal profile] quadjumps 2017-10-28 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
So? Who's on that list?

in4apounding: (nothing bad)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2017-10-28 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Call them- what?

[Oso, no.]

[Just on her collar, none in the wounds!

...look I’m on mobile it would take forever to switch accounts]
challengesfate: (gah-!)

[personal profile] challengesfate 2017-10-28 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
...Generally if someone is mortally wounded, their first thought is not to dabble in artistic endeavors...
challengesfate: (guide my blade)

[personal profile] challengesfate 2017-10-28 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[lol it's cool]

...No, it was just on her clothes. Not in the wound.
photoshooter: (DAWNING 📷 Oh...)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2017-10-28 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. Th...they're soundproofed?

M... Matsuno-san...

[how does she even...answer that]

It looked like she had walked backwards and fallen onto the floor? And there was a larger set approaching her, so...

And if the culprit had a knife when they killed Chitose, why not use the same weapon when killing Miki? Plus, their wounds are different. Miki's killer went to town on her; Chitose's was only in the stomach.
