sixth trial

[airlockedmods]

[Six weeks, thirteen Champion dead out of their original twenty as well one half of the former Overseer pair. With Jamie now counted as a fellow Champion in the Benefactors' eyes, their numbers have dwindled down to eight.

C.E.C.E.'s announcement sounds and for what may be the last time the Champions must file to the teleporter with their evidence and the Champion Landscape Artist now officially among them. The courtroom is empty this time around, the floating platform as empty as the updated circle of surviving Champion's podiums. Jamie makes a small, humorless sound when he sees the lack of a portrait at Lightning's podium and his own name in glaring green where she once stood.

There's no Bolton to speak to them this time around so it's C.E.C.E. whose voice rings from on high.]

Welcome, Champions, to the courtroom. Eight of you have entered, but if you vote correctly only seven of you will leave. Compile your evidence and select the correct culprit is. If you vote correctly, the culprit will be executed and the rest of you will be allowed to go back upstairs.

Thank you!

[He appreciates it, Yurika, he's just going to stay staring down at his podium and not answer though. He can't look at Xander right now.

He just...can't.]

[She stands by him and offers a fuzzy white paw. She knows.]

[theoverseers]

[...Yurika, you are the hero we need.

He slowly, hesitantly takes her fuzzy paw hand.]

[ratherdoweddings]

[She smiles sadly and squeezes his hand. Here for support, friend.]
