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.

Mm-hm! I'm sorry, Kurusu-san. I have no intention of dying now, after having achieved my goal.

...

But you can't escape. Even if you kill everyone here there's one person your spell won't work on.

Aha, do you think so? I know what Penny-chan is. She told me, earlier this week. Did you think I wouldn't have prepared for that?

mods!

Not Penny.

CECE. The rules are you have to escape detection to be the Ultimate Champion. Killing us all and nulling a vote doesn't give you the title. Are you so sure even all of us together would give you the power you need to blast your way out? That she won't just shock you down?

CECE- what would happen if the game becomes unwinnable?

If just one champion survives, and they are the culprit, if they vote wrong do they win? Assuming they are the only one to vote?

Fuck.

...Do the votes have to be tallied through the podiums, CECE?
in4apounding: (look down)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2017-11-18 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. Darn.

[So no voting verbally, then.]

...CECE. If this goes badly- I'm sorry. For not being able to keep my promise.

...Blowing me up would still kill me, Akira. Sorry.

[Probably? Unless the spell really specifically requires biological organs to work.]

[Now if she had some magnets, then we'd definitely be in trouble.]
