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!

[...?]

Do you... not remember...?

[And just checking on that wound ig, but does it look really recent? ...Does it even look like it was taken care of properly?]

No! I... I felt pain in my leg before, but I didn't think...

[It looks very recent, and no care was given to it. As if he just pulled his jumpsuit over it without thinking of it.]0
batfortheprincess: (♦ are you certain of this?)

[mmmmm okay yeah that doesn't look good.]

Um... could you tell us what you were doing last night, then?

I...

[He's quiet, as he tries to remember. There's been so much chaos, he hasn't given it much thought, but...]

I don't know. I woke up late from a nightmare and I... think I left my room briefly? Then everything went dark and...

I assume I must have gone back to bed and fallen asleep...

[personal profile] batfortheprincess 2017-10-28 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[this is so out of his depth...]

There was something about you being able to transform before, correct...? Have you... actually tried to do so here?
discalibur: (013)

[personal profile] discalibur 2017-10-28 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I can't... Not without my sword.

[personal profile] batfortheprincess 2017-10-28 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
You're certain? Or have you just never tried without your sword?

...You had indicated before that these...zector suits you and others use, they have a sort of vague sentience? That they choose who is worthy enough to wear them.

Do they have a mind of their own?
discalibur: (023)

[personal profile] discalibur 2017-10-28 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
The Zecters, yes, but... the suit needs someone in it and I am missing what I need to transform anyway...

[personal profile] playthedamncard 2017-10-28 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you sure about that? You didn't do any research into the company; are you absolutely certain that you know the full capabilities of the zecters, how they work, act, react?

It's not that!

I don't have my sword, without it I couldn't... It's nothing like that!
