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!

[He looks pretty uncomfortable but he'll speak up.]

Then, if you would, um. Could you tell us how she was wounded?

[He saw a little from a distance, but...]

[Bless you, Slaine. You're doing your best.]

There were two deep cuts - one on her shoulder, and one on her thigh, but those couldn't have killed her. There was also a deep wound in her stomach - possibly from something that pierced her all the way through. I couldn't determine what sort of object had done it, and, I've seen many blade wounds in my time.

[A pause.]

But there was...broken glass on her clothes, as well. Somewhat curved...I don't know if a large enough piece would have been able to do that.

W-wait, it... it wasn't a knife?

[He couldn't bear to really look.]
challengesfate: (what...who...?)

[personal profile] challengesfate 2017-10-28 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
It didn't look like the cut of a knife to me, no. And I asked Penny what she thought as well, but, she couldn't identify the weapon that might've been used.
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?

[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.]

Is there anything made of glass around here that’s that big...? It’d have to be some wicked glass to do all that.

Pierced... through her stomach.

[Well, that's a nice mental image. He'd seen her body, but not up close, so... Fuck.]

You'd need a lot of force to do that. Using glass for that seems a little... Was there... [ugh] ...was there glass in her wound?
challengesfate: (gah-!)

Mods?

[personal profile] challengesfate 2017-10-28 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I...don't recall seeing any...

[But thinking back, was there glass in the wound, or just on her clothes?]
theundertaken: (bought the farm)

[personal profile] theundertaken 2017-10-28 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Just on her collar, none in the wounds!

...look I’m on mobile it would take forever to switch accounts]
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.
discalibur: (003)

It's hard to imagine using glass as a weapon, causing a wound like that, but not leaving any glass in the wound itself.

Though I... can't say I know what else could have done it.

[If it's not a knife, and it's not glass, and it's not poor Shovel-kun then what the heck]

So does that mean she was the one that broke the camera, or that her killer was the one and happened to get glass on her?
batfortheprincess: (♦ are you certain of this?)

[personal profile] batfortheprincess 2017-10-28 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
If her killer broke it, wouldn't they be punished for it...?
batfortheprincess: (♦ are you certain of this?)

[personal profile] batfortheprincess 2017-10-28 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
It... would take a fairly significant amount of force to impale someone like that, correct?

[Someone strong...? Hmm. The glass catches his attention though.]

Broken glass...? It's possible that it may have come from the lens of the broken camera, then.
challengesfate: (close call)

[personal profile] challengesfate 2017-10-28 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
...So, could Miki have been present when the camera was broken? Or...could she have broken the camera herself?

Ouch. That's a way ta go alright.

[Geez... poor Chitose.]

Do ya have any idea where the glass came from?
