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.

[It takes a second for her mind to catch up with what's happening.]
Manaka-? ...Mister Thomas?
no subject
None of you have to worry. She isn't coming back from this.
no subject
[She suddenly looks between Thomas, and Manaka's body, and up to the Overseer's balcony, before looking back to Thomas, eyes full of fear.]
...That's not fair. You- shouldn't have had to-
no subject
[it's hard to see her through how blurry his eyes are getting, but he can hear how upset she is, and stands up to go to her podium and wrap his arms around her]

[THOMAS N O]

["I don't want to die out there in space, alone-"]
...No, no no no no no-!
[Sorry Thomas, you're being hugged. It's a little wet and squishy.]
No- you- she was trying to attack the Overseers, she said so! She should've been punished anyway, they- you can't-!
no subject
[He pulls her away, just far enough that he can look into her eyes.]
I never told you. I never told anyone except someone who isn't here anymore. [does he mean Max? does he mean York? does it matter?]
I'm already going to die. As soon as I leave, that's the end for me.

One of us is going to die today.

[She buries her face in his chest.]
...I'll. Still save your sister. I promise.
