fourth trial

[airlockedmods]

[As the last of the evidence is gathered, the voice chimes in with a call to come down to the courtroom.

In the slowly swindling podium circle McBurn and Shadow's portraits have been added and the green in their scrolling names replaced with red.

Jamie and Bolton are waiting on their floating platform, back in black and ready for a trial. Jamie still looks tired and his posture is a little more slouched than usual but he's here and there's not much else they can ask of him right now. Bolton's put on his usual showman's attitude despite the dark circles under his eyes, and he spreads his arms to make the announcement.]

Welcome, Champions, to the courtroom. Eleven of you have entered, but - in the best case scenario - only ten of you will leave. You all know the drill by now: 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.

Remember, there is no time limit but I'd advise you to keep things interesting.

[He's got at least one in the TARDIS somewhere, he's sure of it.]

[Possibly from well before what anyone would consider Earth's modern era, but that's got to count for something right?]

[Likely story, Doc.

That just means he needs to reapply for the proper licenses like all the other doctors do about every two years. When was the last time he did that?]

[stitch_in_time]

[That is an excellent question which is terribly complicated by the fact that he's rarely in the same year for more than a day or two at a time.]

[So she's supposed to assume that his license never runs out and literally covers all medical expertise's?]

[stitch_in_time]

[It would be helpful if she did, yes.]

[bylight]

[Eh. She'll think about it. Maybe.]

[You are an officer and a gentlewoman.]
