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.

Maybe she went there voluntarily? She coulda' wanted to paint something before she died or something.

...Generally if someone is mortally wounded, their first thought is not to dabble in artistic endeavors...

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...

.......she ran?

[She nods.]

That's what I suspect. Even if the initial stab wound was received in her room, she might have simply collapsed from blood loss while trying to escape.

God, that's awful.. who could've even done something like that to such a cute girl? What kind of cruel, monster are we dealing with here?!

If she was ambushed inside her room, she may have ran to the art room hoping to shake off her pursuer.

[The art room was pretty much across from her room, after all.]

And- there's things in there that might be used as weapons. ...Not very WELL, but those easels are sturdy if you could get a grip on one.

[Are they collapsible easels? Maybe.]

You said they were small, right? The footprints?

Miki... wasn't very big.

There was blood on the bottoms of Chitose's shoes. But you think the small footprints might have been Miki's?
photoshooter: (FADE 📷 I'm bleeeeding out)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2017-10-28 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. N-no, if her shoes were like that... I just thought it'd make sense. If Miki found Chitose there and then the killer...

She's fast. She could've darted around them. But I guess that can't be right.
