fourth 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. Karamatsu Matsuno, the Champion of Painful Secondhand Embarrassment That's So Cringe Inducing, Narcissistic, And Eye Blindingly Glittery It Makes You Wish He'd Go Away, Korra, the Champion Avatar, Yuri Plisetsky, the Champion Figure Skater and Max Olguin, the Champion Portrait Artist.

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. He's also sporting a black eye patch with a flaming snowflake embroidered on it over his left eye. 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 ten of you here but, if things go correctly, only nine 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.

[Well that's just awful.]

Why would someone go that far- ...wait, all his fingers? We- there were only five in the sewing room.

All ten, yeah. So some are still missing.
in4apounding: (is they gone)

...you. Don't think they'd still be ON the culprit, would they?

[Is it time for a pocket check already.]

If nobody's found them elsewhere, there's no harm in checking. Although it would be reckless to keep them on your person going into a trial.

[thomas hasn't been able to pull it back together yet, and he's grateful for penny speaking up for both of them even though it shouldn't have to be her. he's leaning heavily against his podium, no longer able to look to korra as dependable back-up next to him, and follows all of these exchanges with dull suspicion.]

...maybe they're that reckless. They wouldn't expect we'd suspect each other, not after- that.

The other parts have to be somewhere, after all.
