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!

Wait, wait, hold on, what about Miki?!
karappo: (I think I may have accidentally)

...I mentioned this in passing, but I wonder...if Chitose...
le_mat: (13)

She'd have no reason to admit to one and not the other if she did it.
challengesfate: (gah-!)

I didn't kill Miki.

[This she can say with the strongest conviction.]

I didn't mean for what happened to Chitose - I tried to keep her alive, and when I couldn't, I...did what I could for her body, but, I didn't know about Miki until this morning, I...

I want to find Miki's killer as much as all of you...
karappo: then I decided I should probably start speaking english (I was speaking french the whole night)

You said you killed Chitose, but now you say you tried to keep her alive. Did you strike at her at all, or did you simply...find her?
challengesfate: (bitterest resolve)

[personal profile] challengesfate 2017-10-28 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
The strike was an accident. She ran quickly after, and I...I dropped the knife and followed, and called to her to wait - tried to get her to stop exacerbating her wound, and when she dropped to the floor, I...t-there were rags...I tried to make it stop bleeding...
karappo: <user name=gabbie> (I just stuffed five bucks)

[personal profile] karappo 2017-10-28 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Fuck.

Fuck.]


...I...I see.

I am......sorry, Lucina-san.
challengesfate: (is that so?)

[personal profile] challengesfate 2017-10-28 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[This is all one big fuck.]

...You have nothing to apologize for, Karamatsu. I'm...the one who is sorry. For all that I've done.
