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.

Yes. That doesn't mean anything. I was tired. I've been staying up late for the past week. It finally caught up to me and I crashed early. But you're wrong. I would have to see what I was doing to forge her handwriting.

[cyan_maid]

That doesn't mean you couldn't have tried to do it before taking parts of the suit off.

[fatherofsin]

Hm, is that so? Why would I keep it on if I was going to forge something to run that risk?

[cyan_maid]

How should I know?! I'm not here because I'm some kind of psychic! Maybe you wanted us to catch you all along, and YOU'RE actually the one who doesn't want to play this game anymore!

[fatherofsin]

Then why not simply come out and say I did it? A bit lacking with that logic.

[cyan_maid]

Because you're a sick jerk who paints pictures of people and wrecks them and hangs them up for a "reminder"!!! Nevermind any respect for the dead - clearly you don't have any!

[She's looking incredibly agitated now...but still not backing off. Girl, you have no idea when to give up and let other people press for answers.]

Masks can come off, even if the rest of the suit doesn't.

[fatherofsin]

That's very true.
