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!

Chitose tried to kill her.
titularly: (none of these keywords are gonna)

[personal profile] titularly 2017-10-28 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
That doesn't matter!

[Osomatsu yells that at him, and straightens himself back up.]

Even if the roles were reversed, someone's still dead! For real! It's not just some gag where they're gonna come back the next episode, they're dead and nothing's gonna change that!
challengesfate: (no i doubt you do)

[personal profile] challengesfate 2017-10-28 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[w h a t]

Are you...implying that I don't understand...how permanent death is?
titularly: (text from ch000ch @ twitter) (apparently your dog can pee)

[personal profile] titularly 2017-10-28 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm saying that I don't!

[Look....... he's from a weird place..]

I didn't!

No one ever dies from back home! It's always been a joke! I've exploded in space, my brother's been killed with a chainsaw, our entire city was destroyed by a giant robot! But everyone came back the next episode!

This is the first time that.. that it's ever been permanent before.

It's scary.
challengesfate: (bwuh?!)

...

[Okay so she was actually prepared to brawl with this muppet man over the concept of death, had he answered a different way. This? This knocks her right the fuck back, this is absolutely shocking to her. Lucina's mouth falls open, and she can't even form words for a good half minute.]

...Then...I am sorry this is how you had to find out...how it feels like. To know...that death brings with it no return.
titularly: (that hacky sack is for losers.)

[personal profile] titularly 2017-10-28 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I-I don't wanna die. So the idea that there's still someone hiding out there, who could get us all killed is freaking me out a little bit.

[...]


....can I still have that alcohol you mentioned earlier?
challengesfate: (not today bitch)

[personal profile] challengesfate 2017-10-28 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
...I said you could have it if Yuri had killed Chitose, but he did not.

[The one petty thing she can do to Osomatsu: deny him of any of her own alcohol.]
titularly: (BOOBS)

[personal profile] titularly 2017-10-28 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
But you're not gonna use it! It'll just go to waste!!
challengesfate: (awaken the sword)

[personal profile] challengesfate 2017-10-28 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Even if I've been proven guilty, would you deny a condemned woman one of her last wishes?
challengesfate: (hrm...........suspicious!)

[personal profile] challengesfate 2017-10-28 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[get rekt, osomatsu]

Yes.
titularly: (but i hate keywords)

[personal profile] titularly 2017-10-28 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
............fuck you.

[i swear he means no malice hes just salty]

[personal profile] karappo 2017-10-28 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
...Osomatsu is right. He doesn’t mean to trivialize your feelings, Lucina-san.

This is...a lot for us to come to terms with.
challengesfate: (warm sky)

[personal profile] challengesfate 2017-10-28 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
...I'm so sorry. I...

[Gods, it's all she can say today. She's sorry. But what good will that ever do?]

I can understand...why he's so upset, then. [A pause.] And I cannot begrudge his ire, either.
photoshooter: (PUNCH πŸ“· You hold. I'll punch.)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2017-10-28 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
You think I don't know that?! Dude, I'm--I'm fighting a war we already lost!

[Incredible. He's still crying. Someone get this boy a sports drink to replenish those electrolytes.]

But that doesn't make Lucina a murderer! She was just--she tried to help her, you fucking shithead, which is more than I've seen you do for anyone!
titularly: (OH HOW THE TURN TABLES)

[personal profile] titularly 2017-10-28 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
At least I didn't kill someone!
photoshooter: (GROSS πŸ“· Put a shirt on!)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2017-10-28 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
At least you could act like a decent person and stop blaming her for something that WASN'T HER FAULT!
titularly: (WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?!?!)

[personal profile] titularly 2017-10-28 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not blaming her! I'm just saying that she killed someone and I'm not gonna pat her on the head for it!
photoshooter: (READY πŸ“· Lock eyes with a trainer)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2017-10-28 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
You called her a murderer.
titularly: (some will be tfln some will be crap)

[personal profile] titularly 2017-10-28 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
That's the definition of someone who kills someone else, dumbass!

Even if she didn't mean to, she still killed Chitose-chan. She's still a murderer.
photoshooter: (DISGUST πŸ“· You ate that??)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2017-10-28 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
No, you--you crappy--you, how--how selfish and spoiled can you be to think it's so simple? [He's shaking.] I thought I was supposed to be the one who was childish.
titularly: (YOU CAN DO IT TOUSAN)

[personal profile] titularly 2017-10-28 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
If that's not it then what is it, huh? What is she? And what does that make Chitose-chan? Even if she didn't have great intentions, she doesn't deserve to have her killer just... treated like she didn't do anything wrong!
photoshooter: (MUSS πŸ“· Shut up about Homestuck!)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2017-10-28 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, maybe she didn't!

She went to help a friend with a problem! She tried to protect herself without hurting her! She--she laid her to rest even though Chitose was the one who started it!

And now they're both going to be dead, asshole, because of what Chitose-chan did, so are you only gonna start seeing that after she's executed?!
