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!

[Thomas only knows a little bit - he's refused to look at either of the bodies out of self-preservation - but something about this goes against everything he knows about how investigations work. There's a reason he doesn't decide who's guilty - what if he sets it up that way? - but arguing here is going to be useless.

He looks to Korra to his left, trying to decide which one of them should speak up, but finally says something himself.

...If anyone found weapons, I think I know where the killer found them.

You... you do?

[Prompto's eyes are puffy and red and it took him at least two minutes to even try venturing onto the clear glass floor. But he's at least present enough to pay attention to this.

He is, after all, holding a bloody knife.]
andjerry: (oh my god gw a red tree)

[oh god that's the one that fits in the space he found, isn't it

-he sucks in a breath, seeing the blood so obvious and out to the air.

Korra and I were in the kitchen. I count everything that could be used as a weapon every day, and I think that's the one that was missing.

...A kitchen knife...

[He looks down slowly, as if only now remembering he's still got a likely murder weapon in his hand, then gulps and hands it to his left. Hopefully the people between him and Thomas will get the idea and pass it along so our actual police officer can take a look.]

W-we found it in Chitose's room. There was blood...
