final trial

[With the announcement, the Champions can crowd together onto the teleporter with no issues. 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. It's so much emptier than it was just a few weeks ago that their voices echo when they try to speak up.

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. Thomas MacLaine, the Champion Accomplice, Manaka Sajyou, the Champion Mother and finally Roxy Lalonde, the Champion of ████████.

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 still has the eye patch and Rox watches them with keen interest as they enter.]


Welcome back, Champions. There are six of you here but, if things go correctly, only five of you will leave. I don't think I have to explain at this point what will happen if you choose wrong.

This shouldn't take long though. We all know what happened. Anticlimactic but not everything can be a good mystery I suppose. [She folds her arms across her chest, looking down on the Champions.] Let the trial begin.

[ Marisa promptly walks out of the kitchen with her broom in hand, Mima's wand hooked on her belt, and at least 8 patchwork-looking chemical bombs floating around her. She'll delicately hand one to each person coming with on their death run, and saves a few for herself. ]

Now be careful! I know we're basically on a suicide mission, but ya wanna stay alive as long as possible, yeah? I watched this movie in the media room where this kid got set on fire and then the doctors replaced his heart with a baked potato and it exploded all over his poor friends. Don't be that kid!

[ Marisa then proceeds to give surprisingly accurate bomb-handling instructions, despite baked potatoes having nothing to do with this. Okay, maybe she ate one before she came here. Don't wanna fight on an empty stomach. ]

[As they all crowd on, but before teleporting down]

Hey, everyone. Group up.

[Don't ask questions as Akira... pulls his phone out, snapping a pick once folks have a chance to realize what he's doing.

He tosses it to Bolton]


The unlock is a star.

[He makes the finger slide gesture in the air]

Most of it's still locked, but not the important stuff. [His pics, music, anything that doesn't ahve to do with Phantom Thievery. Keep it safe buddy]

[Once inside, Akria doesn't go for his podium. Instead heading right for the middle of the room, standing over space]

I thought for a minute that scene would make me never want a baked potato again, but it turns out to be my last meal. Whodathunk.

How's your pitching arm? These ones you can just throw.

I'm more a hitter then a pitcher, but I can manage.

[ gingerly handing over Akira's complementary bomb, then ]

Good. Just be careful with it. Don't shake it, or it might detonate in your pocket, or somethin'.

[personal profile] playthedamncard 2017-11-24 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
If nothing else, we'll go out with a bang.

[Penny enters, still clutching Shovel-kun to her chest.]

...Yes. We do.

[She looks up at Rox.]

Do you remember the message I had CECE give you, Miss Petuu? That's still true.

[M... TB... start?]

Things goin' boom was always my specialty. I couldn't pick a better way to go out, ze.
in4apounding: (well that's just improbable)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2017-11-24 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sorry Akira, Penny mostly just manages a look of surprised shock in that photo.]

[Cautiously taking one of the bombs.]

...how do you mistake a heart for a baked potato.

I was there, I saw what happened. But that doesn't matter. Penny is innocent.

[Bolton is still recovering from having his soul stolen picture taken when he's tossed the phone. Luckily, he catches it, looks down at it and then back up at Akira.]

I'll remember.

...If we get out of here, who do you want me to give it to?

I dunno, the doctor was pretty stupid. One'a the nurses put his lunch into the medical microwave and then they did surgery, and I guess he slapped it in there by mistake. It was a weird-ass movie. Nothin' but dick jokes, ze.
dejabrew: (but then I remembered I have knives)

[personal profile] dejabrew 2017-11-24 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Consider it done.
playthedamncard: (at least he doesn't have green hair)

[personal profile] playthedamncard 2017-11-24 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
And we can all tell you who isn't innocent--Rox Petuu and Blaze Dudely.
in4apounding: (is they gone)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2017-11-24 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
You guys-

[personal profile] unhappylittletrees 2017-11-24 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
...Are you sure you want to do this?

[This is a horrible plan and Jamie is Not Here For It but clearly he was outvoted before he even arrived at the holodeck.]

That's right! You two have blood on your hands! Chloe, Lucina, Tsurugi, Slaine, Korra, and Yuri! They're all dead because of you two.

Impressive posturing. It looks like you're putting your title on proud display, Champion of Denial. It's not who cocks the gun who's guilty, but who pulled the trigger.

Or swung the shovel, in this case.

[personal profile] le_mat 2017-11-24 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I, we, gotta. I'm sorry Jamie....

Yeah, by your rules that's true. But we're done playing by them!
