second 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. More portraits and names in blaring red have been added this week. Tsurugi Kamishiro, the Champion Scorpion, Lucina, the Champion Exalt, Prompto Argentum, the Champion Inner Child and Lunafreya Nox Fleuret, the Champion Oracle.

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. Blaze is the one who speaks up this time, while Rox slowly and meticulously drags her index finger down the screen of her phone.]


Welcome back, Champions. Sixteen of you 're here but, if things go right, only fifteen of you'll leave. The goal here's to take your evidence and figure out who the killer or killers are. Once you think you have an answer, we'll call a vote and you'll decide who ya think is guilty. If you're right, the culprit will be executed and the rest of you will be allowed to go back upstairs. If you're wrong, the killer goes free and the rest of you get it.

There's no time limit, but a vote'll be called if things drag on too long. [He folds his arms across his chest.] Let's do this.

I'll. Drag YOU on too long.

[Thanks Penny, that'll tell him. But she's a little more somber when she actually reaches her podium.]


Um- Prompto had been stabbed in the leg. And his wrist had been cut up.

[She points to the spot on her own wrist, indicating where she meant.]

Yuri found a knife nearby. I think that's probably what did it.
newcycle: Bonus: Or they assume you aren't because you're not east asian. (When someone assumes you are all Asians.)

[she's... extremely upset.]

How does this not become your next regret? 17 people have to die to fix it...?

[ it's time. yuri's here, and it's clear that today, he means business. (he didn't even bring the vuvuzela with him.) onto his podium, he unfolds his jacket and lays a bloody knife. ]

I found this further away from Prompto's body. There was some blood around it along with some frozen water droplets. Seems like whoever did this to Prompto completely left him for dead. Whoever did this--we're gonna find you, and you're gonna pay.
in4apounding: (look down)

And- Prompto and Miss Luna, they never hurt anyone.

[Probably.]

...someone thought they would be easy targets.

[Again. Weight: Like a Couple of Grapes]

[Pay no attention to the robo-lizard perched on Kaiba's podium.] Nox Fleuret died in the zero gravity room, but I don't expect anyone actually manipulated gravity to do it. She had blunt trauma to the head and wounds down her right side--almost like she'd been thrown?--and there was a puddle of her blood on the floor, but she'd clearly been moved or posed. Perhaps it was Argentum who found her.

[and he just. looks. at the woman next to him. you get why he confessed earlier, Korra. even thinking about killing all these innocents was bad enough,but someone really doing it?]

...we'll fix this, right?

Cw: self harm, slight drug use

[personal profile] le_mat 2017-11-04 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[being back here makes him wanna vomit]

Alright... So I found a few things in the tattoo parlor.

[he spreads out a red and blue cape on his podium that he used to carry the evidence. A slightly bloody towel, bandages with one bloody frayed edge, and a bottle of Oxycodone]

The towel was spread out across the arm rest, and only one pill is missing. You can see the edge of the cape is all chewed up too. If I wanted to guess it looks like someone set the room up to prepare for cutting themselves.
newcycle: This is going to be forced joke after forced joke. (I reget not keywording as I uploaded.)

[personal profile] newcycle 2017-11-04 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Right.

[she inhales... and then exhales.]

Lets do this.
quadjumps: (you will see me thrive)

[personal profile] quadjumps 2017-11-04 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
No, it was farther away from the body.
playthedamncard: (concern)

[personal profile] playthedamncard 2017-11-04 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
...Argentum's wrist was cut up. And he kept that cape with him. But what would he have done something like that for?
in4apounding: (anxiety intensifies)

Re: Cw: self harm, slight drug use

[personal profile] in4apounding 2017-11-04 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
...Prompto's wrist was cut. Really badly. You don't think- ...Can I see those bandages?
in4apounding: (um)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2017-11-04 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Um, in the same room, at least.

[Relatively nearby. Ish.]

Where was it, exactly?

I'm the one who examined Lunafreya's body. Like it says in the case file, she was bludgeoned to death. However, there were also litigation marks on her throat, as if a cord had been wrapped around her neck. I asked Penny-chan if anyone had found a weapon that might have caused those injuries, but she said that the only one she had seen was a knife. Did anyone else find anything that might have caused Lunafreya's injuries?

[Honestly, who keeps letting Manaka examine bodies. She rattles off this information without pausing before she moves onto her second observation.]

I also noticed that the wounds from her bludgeoning all occurred on the right side of her body. That would imply that the killer favored their left hand when striking her. Maybe we could start there, when sorting out suspects...?

Water droplets? Maybe water from the pool? Could be someone tried to wash the knife?

[or you know, Prompto's salty frozen tears cuz Asher is a monster]

But the pool was frozen, right?
quadjumps: (a butterfly sparkles)

[personal profile] quadjumps 2017-11-04 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
It was farther along the side of the pool.

What did the scratches on his wrist look like?
in4apounding: (look down)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2017-11-04 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Like they came from a knife.

[Feels bad, man.]

But. Really bad. His wrist was very torn up. Right over some kind of tattoo, I think? A barcode.

It was frozen when I showed up. They probably froze the pool after stabbing Prompto.
immaculacies: (in sleep there is no sorrow)

[personal profile] immaculacies 2017-11-04 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm, do you think she had been thrown, Kaiba-san? I thought that maybe the killer had gotten frantic and struck at her carelessly, but... Mm, I suppose that could also explain the broken neck.

[personal profile] le_mat 2017-11-04 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[he offers them to Penny]

There's not a huge amount of blood there. Enough that I'd guess it was torn with bloody fingers or something.
in4apounding: (um)

There were some bandages around Prompto's wrist-

[Taking the bandages and checking just to be sure; do they match the ones Prompto had over his wound?]

It still would take some force to throw her...but we also know several people have or had that kind of force necessary. We also don't know what cracked open her head; there wasn't anything else in the room save for her trident, which is plastic, and the blood. There's a lot of guesswork involved with her side at the moment.

[personal profile] le_mat 2017-11-04 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
This is just a guess. But I went to see Prompto after the investigation. He has a tattoo on the wrist that was torn up. If he was... fuck... trying to kill himself... You'd think there'd just be one or two deep cuts. And he wouldn't have bandages with him. I think he was trying to disfigure the tattoo.

[Zombina is not okay. She didn't come out of her room when the body announcements went off. She didn't want to see either of them like that. She.... just let herself be a coward for once. It's pretty obvious that she's been crying from how red her eyes are. She's dressed in her casual wear today.... along with an fuzzy blanket being worn as an cape to curl around herself. Listen. If she's going to feel like shit, she's going to be comfey while doing so.]

Alright. I'm not expectin' whoever the fuck did it ta step up. But know that ya better have a damn good sob story for why ya did this.

[Or by god she's tossing them out the airlock herself.]
