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!

What. Whatever did that to Miki, it was very sharp, but not a knife or her shovel. The wound didn't fit.

Okay.. then what other weapons are sharp? I've used a big pair of scissors before but I don't think you could stab someone with 'em that easily.
in4apounding: (um)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2017-10-28 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Lots of things, but I don't think I've seen anything else on the station that would do it. There was the glass Lucina found, but I doubt that a bottle would hold up well enough to- to pierce as far as it did through Miki.
in4apounding: (well that's just improbable)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2017-10-28 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Bottles are often made of glass, aren't they? Someone might have gotten some out of the dumbwaiter or something.

[Or there haven't been any references to bottles being on the station yet and the player forgot, w h o o p s]

Or. There are glasses in the cafeteria, right?
titularly: (so deal with this commentary)

[personal profile] titularly 2017-10-28 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I thought the glass was from the camera?

[ITS LIKELY THAT IT COULDVE BEEN A BOTTLE THOUGH we just dont know]
in4apounding: (i am so confused)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2017-10-28 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
It could have been? I'm not sure how much there was.
titularly: (text from ch000ch @ twitter) (apparently your dog can pee)

[personal profile] titularly 2017-10-28 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Auuugh this is seriously all confusing!

[Osomatsu messes up his hair with his hands in frustration.]

The first murderer admitted to it! Why can't the other one just come out and say it!!

Because I am certain they wanted to hide themselves beneath Lucina-san's confession. But that is not happening.
titularly: (ughhhh i fucking suck)

[personal profile] titularly 2017-10-28 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I just wanna get this over with and go drink.......
in4apounding: (stop talking)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2017-10-28 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
That's- that's so cruel.
karappo: (you told me to pour the gatorade on you)

[personal profile] karappo 2017-10-28 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
It is. But from what we have gathered...it does not seem like these two incidents were connected. It was mere coincidence they happened together like they did. Especially if Lucina-san did not know Miki-chan had passed...

[personal profile] theworldsliveliestcorpse 2017-10-28 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright, so it probably wasn't the glass that caused it then.

[Zombina's drumming her fingers on her podium.]

Do we know why Miki was in the library so early? or is that pretty normal for her?
Edited 2017-10-28 20:35 (UTC)
in4apounding: (avoidance)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2017-10-28 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
She was in there a lot. She. Loaned me a book, once, from her world.
theworldsliveliestcorpse: Typical anime shock (Aw Shit)

[personal profile] theworldsliveliestcorpse 2017-10-28 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah.

[Yeah... makes sense.]

Okay... speaking of the library, do we know if the blood on the wall was Miki-chan's or the killer's
in4apounding: (um)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2017-10-28 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
If it was the killer's, wouldn't we have found a wound already?

[They're not gonna have to strip again, are they]
discalibur: (019)

[personal profile] discalibur 2017-10-28 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Would we?

We mainly checked everyone's arms, didn't we?
in4apounding: (well that's just improbable)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2017-10-28 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Mostly? Most people were showing their bodies, too, at least a little. Wouldn't a wound that big be pretty obvious?
discalibur: (025)

[personal profile] discalibur 2017-10-28 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
True enough.

Still, even if that blood was indeed Miki's, that doesn't mean the culprit is completely unharmed. We could have missed something by just focusing on the upper body...
in4apounding: (um)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2017-10-28 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
You think we should start checking people's legs?
discalibur: (051)

[personal profile] discalibur 2017-10-28 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know... At this point, I don't think we should discount any possibility. So maybe?

I believe it was suggested earlier, at least.
