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.

She... s-she woulda hated that. Losing her mind. No... no we couldn't have done that...

[He scrubs his eyes with the heel of one hand, and then beats his podium with the other.]

She would have hated hurting any one of us more! If she'd been in her right mind, she never would have asked-

[His voice cracking with the weight of the tears he's trying desperately not to shed cuts him off.]

She never wanted any of us to die for her. Don't- don't put that weight on her now, Akira.

She didn't know! They didn't explain the rules well enough! No way Karamatsu would have risked his brother if he knew assisted suicide would lead to this!
dejabrew: (is getting a bit absurd)

Do you think they give a single fuck about that? They're trying to kill all of us! They want to see every single one of us dead!

[Softly, so Bolton might not even hear. So NO-ONE might even hear:]

Then what does it matter now or later?
dejabrew: (I'm screaming the whole way)

[Yeah, he used to go to punk concerts and casinos. His poor ears.]
