third trial

[With the announcement and the evidence, 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. Slaine Troyard, the Champion of War and Zombina, the Champion Rotten Girl.

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 smiling like that cat who ate the canary while Blaze is standing a little farther away than normal and looking uncomfortable.]


Welcome back, Champions! There are fourteen of you here but, if things go correctly, only thirteen of you will leave. I don't think I have to explain at this point what will happen if you choose wrong.

As usual there's no time limit but be sure to keep things interesting. [She folds her arms across her chest, looking down on the Champions with a grin.] Let the trial begin.

Their voices are different but... they probably are practiced in mimicking each other and their brothers.

[ a little more quiet ]

You really think they coulda switched? I had a hard time tellin' 'em apart the first week, hell, that's why I'm callin' 'em "Brows" and "Red", but...
karappo: <user name=bureiku> (but I am conflicted)

[personal profile] karappo 2017-11-11 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I-It was me!

[Karamatsu blurts that out all of a sudden, his hands gripping his podium hard enough to make his knuckles white.]

Osomatsu had nothing to do with this, s-so please... do not get him involved.
newcycle: But I'm not straight. (Play it straight.)

[personal profile] newcycle 2017-11-11 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Karamatsu...

...

The motive. Being separated would be worse then dying for twins, wouldn't it?
karappo: (I didn't know people cried after sex)

[personal profile] karappo 2017-11-11 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
...it w-was not the motive that drove me to kill her.


She asked me to.
le_mat: (10)

[personal profile] le_mat 2017-11-11 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
She needed someone to hit the button.

Was I right, you both thought that a suicide wouldn't count?
karappo: <user name=gabbie> (she kept crying and asking)

[personal profile] karappo 2017-11-11 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[To that, Karamatsu gives Akira a simple nod.]

Sh-she...she w-was going to turn into a real zombie soon, had I not helped her. She was scared of turning against everyone a-and she couldn't kill herself so I...

...damn it.
quadjumps: (i close my eyes)

[personal profile] quadjumps 2017-11-11 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
...Karamatsu?
karappo: <user name=winterbolt> (now there's a facebook group)

[personal profile] karappo 2017-11-11 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Karamatsu can't even look at Yuri right now... he can barely lift his head from his podium, honestly.]
quadjumps: (they're whispering)

[personal profile] quadjumps 2017-11-11 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
...No... No way--you're--you're lying, aren't you?! There's no way...
karappo: (im not getting off this floor)

[personal profile] karappo 2017-11-11 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hearing Yuri yell at him like that has Karamatsu's chest feel very heavy, like he had just done something very, very wrong.

But, he definitely has, hasn't he?]


I'm sorry, Yuri-kun.

[personal profile] quadjumps 2017-11-11 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
This isn't fair! You were just trying to help!

[ and he can't even be mad at zombina, either... ]

You... Why did you agree to do it...?
karappo: (if you can handle my post party look)

[personal profile] karappo 2017-11-11 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Because if I had not have... th-then she could have killed you, or Osomatsu, or anyone else in this room.
quadjumps: (i can't hear anything)

[personal profile] quadjumps 2017-11-11 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
...You saved us.
titularly: (at your "real" job is worth it)

[personal profile] titularly 2017-11-11 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[...]

You...no, what the hell-

[Osomatsu slams his fists down on his podium, his teeth grit so hard his head hurts.]

W-what are you talking about!? You went to bed, with me! You-!! You never left! Why would you say something like that!?
karappo: (I think I died last night)

[personal profile] karappo 2017-11-11 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Karamatsu honestly can't say anything to his brother. He's lied to him, and everyone else in this courtroom...he can barely lift his head right now.]
titularly: (OH HOW THE TURN TABLES)

[personal profile] titularly 2017-11-11 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)


...Hey. Oi!

[Osomatsu is trembling, barely controlled rage and disbelief on his expression.]

ANSWER ME! ANSWER ME, SHITTYMATSU!!
karappo: he's never gonna forgive us for this (someone needs to get him out)

[personal profile] karappo 2017-11-11 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I KILLED HER, OSOMATSU!

[Karamatsu raises his voice, yelling that at his brother across the room. There are tears just streaming down his face by now.. Osomatsu was the last person he wanted to admit this to.]
titularly: art from one of the official anthologies! (my dream girl is smart)

[personal profile] titularly 2017-11-11 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
NO! YOU WOULDN'T! Why the fuck would you let yourself get killed for Wan-chan!? What the hell is wrong with you, huh!?

[His voice is hoarse from screaming, and if someone isn't nearby to hold him back he might actually try to fight him.]
karappo: (I didn't know people cried after sex)

[personal profile] karappo 2017-11-11 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I did it for you!

[Please don't fight when Karamatsu's about to die boys.]

She was going to kill everyone, don't you understand?!

It didn't have to be you!

[Osomatsu chokes on a sob, desperately grabbing a fistful of his hair and pushing his bangs off his forehead.]

Kara, you can't, I- I can't be alone!
karappo: (I didn't know people cried after sex)

[personal profile] karappo 2017-11-11 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)


[Honestly, all Karamatsu can do in reply to that is break out into a sob. He grips onto the sides of his podium just to keep him standing, as he cries his heart out at his brother's words.]

in4apounding: (anxiety intensifies)

it might've been Oso that told her about the death thing honestly

[personal profile] in4apounding 2017-11-11 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
What-? You- no! You couldn't have, your world, you said death wasn't really real there, you couldn't do something like this if it would be- permanent- or- or- you didn't!
