fourth trial

[You get a little time after your investigation is over, but not too long. Your Overseer might still be missing but someone else is.

When everyone has gathered at the door near Fourt's, the impenetrable sheet metal opens automatically. This won't take you outside either; instead, it leads to a long hallway. Like a walk-through aquarium, the walls and ceiling are all made of thick glass, giving you an even better view of the stars outside. There's no sign that the mall is attached to some kind of large-scale station. There's really not going to be an easy way to escape here, unless you get transportation.

You're led to a wide-open area, empty except for a circle of podiums in its center. They've changed from last week, with the three previously empty podiums replaces with greyscale portraits of Will, Queenie and Jamie along with Varric and Clarith. The walls here are equally transparent, and they seem to have lines of large hatches going along them, as if this is where one might park one's spaceship when going on a fun space mall adventure. Shame you don't know anything about those.

You already know what you're here to do. You'd best be getting along with it.]

[Jamie is right across from her podium.

A good thing Jane didn't find anything of value in the investigation this week because she is going to let out a tired, pitiful noise and put her head in her hands.]

[Yurika walks to her podium, face set in a glare, though not at anybody in the room. Her face softens at Arianna, though.]

This week's motive was even more cruel than the last three, and for no apparent reason at first, just an excuse that we weren't dying off quickly enough when we've kept to their schedule against our will. We know now that they were executing people we were counting on to save us. Given that Xander-san's apparently been replaced, as well as that he broke whatever conditioning was on him at least enough to remember Jamie-san and try to rebel, and what that did to him, we can all assume that he would have been next. That unfortunately leaves everyone in this room a suspect: many of us want to save Xander-san and bring him back to us, at least one of us wants to kill him himself, and everyone wants to stop his bosses killing off any other hope we might have to escape.

Clarith-san was killed by an explosion that went off just this morning. Some of us arrived in time to try to save her, but from what I heard, it was too late. Did anyone hear her say anything or were her words still jumbled?

[So, the Doctor's having a good time. Really. The dead look in his eyes is just from fun overload from all week.]

Clarith was- ...if there's any chance at all this was some kind of accident, someone needs to come forward now.

Let's just get this over with.

Clarith's blood loss was caused by glass shrapnel, though I couldn't distinguish anything that might have broken in the explosion to cause it. It seemed as if she was sitting at a table writing when something exploded, apparently.

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2018-03-10 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
...I-I think they were still jumbled.

[Jane says this, lifting her head up slightly from her hands.]

...That part is my fault, I...I didn't think something could actually make her talk all backwards, and now she couldn't even...fuck...

[personal profile] burninglight 2018-03-10 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
...They can't. Remember what Varric did--there will be consequences if we're spared some sort of spectacle. Roland did the same, back in the mansion.

[Arianna doesn't look at him. She's staring at the podiums across from her.]

She had it.
a10tionplz: (sad timelord in snow)

[personal profile] a10tionplz 2018-03-10 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
...she was scared.

[Speaking backwards isn't really a foreign language, but...]

She didn't want to go.
tokencanadian: (Concerned)

[personal profile] tokencanadian 2018-03-10 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Jane... I'm so sorry.

[Pyrrha doesn't say much, but she gives the girl a concerned look. She knows just how she feels.]
a10tionplz: (well)

[personal profile] a10tionplz 2018-03-10 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Dammit.
cyan_maid: (Melancholic)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2018-03-10 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[She closes her eyes, breathes in and out.]

...We've got to make it up to her by finding out what happened. It's...the least we can do.
misanthropicprinciple: (Brace yourself)

[personal profile] misanthropicprinciple 2018-03-10 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
...I don't see how anyone apparently explodes somebody by accident, either.
tokencanadian: (Down)

[personal profile] tokencanadian 2018-03-10 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Could something have... possibly just blown up on its own somehow?
burninglight: (with no hope of release)

[personal profile] burninglight 2018-03-10 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
She...said something about going to get coffee, I think, when everything happened? It was hard to interpret.

[A slow nod.... she'll have to talk to her after all this.]

We will. We... we have to.

She was wearing it?

If that were the case and it were an incident unrelated to any of us, I don't think we'd be here, Pyrrha.

I think everyone should know, first off--robot voice? He was with my group, the evil fuck AI that tried to enforce the murder while Kip and Cece tried to...do the opposite. He's PAL, and you should please heckle the fuck out of him, cuz it's fun.

[Church is still in his dress from last night, a little haphazard and smoked, and no shoes because he had heels on last night and genuinely fuck that. He's also still a little made up. He probably looks silly for how serious he is.]

As far as what did it. [He sets the roomba on his podium.] 'Sploding roomba.

[This is the second time someone she's dunked on thinking oh, it shouldn't be a big deal, has ended up dead in the same week.

This is fucking freaky.]

Clarith- she was the best of us. Of humanity. I don't want to think someone did that on purpose.

Glass?

Perhaps... possibly a bottle?
