second trial

[airlockedmods]

[Like last week the announcement sounds, the Champions with their gathered evidence file once again to the teleporter where the courtroom waits for them.

The a circle of podiums has changed since last week. The Griffin, Toby, and Angelica's floating portraits have joined Chintanda's above their respective podiums as well as the bright green having been changed to a glaring red.

The Overseers are waiting on their floating platform when the first group of Champions arrive. They're back in their black suits, side by side. Jamie's expression is grim but he looks more mentally present than the last trial. Bolton, on the other hand, looks stern but not grim, arms crossed over his chest. Once again, he's the one who makes the announcement.]

Welcome, Champions, to the courtroom. Sixteen of you have entered, but - in the best case scenario - only fifteen of you will leave. Compile your evidence and figure out who the killer is. If you vote correctly, the culprit will be executed and the rest of you will be allowed to go back upstairs. If you vote wrong, however, the killer goes free and the rest of you take the punishment in their place.

Remember, there is no time limit but keeping things interesting is in your best interests.

[Alarmhog, meet AlarmJane.] Her room, too?!

I had thought someone might have tried to clean up evidence...but that sounds to be less like the case now.

Bleach would make for a convenient poison if one wanted to cover their tracks. I assume nobody found traces of vomit?

...Her mouth smelled like it.

One would think it would also be found elsewhere. Unless it was, we can assume at least some of the bleach was used to remove the stains and the smell.

By her bedside, there was a... a sticky patch of floor. It may be they did not clean so well as they thought -- or had not the time.

Gettin' caught coming out of her room'd be pretty damning evidence, yeah. Especially if they still needed to set up their little scene in the gymnasium.
