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.

Don't vote for him.

[Osomatsu begs through tears, his breath hitching in his throat.]

It wasn't his fault.

We have to. Unless you really want to vote for someone else...so long as the majority gets it right...and it is the correct answer. It doesn't make it right. But it lets us live.

[Osomatsu doesn't say anything. He's on the cusp of losing his twin brother, how can he say anything?

He's crying openly into his hands, and it's clear that he isn't going to vote.

...but that doesn't mean he'll be in any state to stop Kaiba from voting for him. He just... had to say something. He had to try.]

...I'm sorry, Osomatsu. If I were in your position, I wouldn't be able to, either. I understand.

At least this way, it won't be by your hands.

[And with that, Kaiba comes over to do the vote for him.

I'm sorry.
