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.

[He blinks, surprised]

Yes, yes it is. I've heard there are ways to color hair but nothing like my natural blonde. Two of my siblings are blonde as well.

Chanel, is yours not?

[Ugh. She grabs her princess leia style hair buns in frustration.]

My roots are going to start showing. If I'd known there was bleach...

[stitch_in_time]

If we survive this, you can ask the Overseers real nice if they'll let you take over shower-cleaning duty, then you'd have all the bleach you need.

[kingshaming]

You can use that stuff to lighten it? That sounds very risky.

[He reaches up and tugs at the long curl that frames his face]

I'm sure your natural hair would look fine.

[refusedtoleave]

Is that really something to be concerned about now?

[Says the woman with brown hair that turns red at the ends.]

[overears]

Obviously you're not worried about it.

[refusedtoleave]

What? Who'd be worried by something like that here or now?

[overears]

Someone who cares how they look.

[refusedtoleave]

There's being well presented and there's being vain.
