The Mock Trial

[airlockedmods]

[Jesse McCree is dead, the first victim of, what the Overseers seem to hope, is a long game of motives and murder for whatever their reasons. With the investigation completed, C.E.C.E.'s voice comes over the system and directs the Champions to proceed to the locked elevator door at the end of the hallway. Once all Champions are on board, the elevator begins a slow descent down beyond any area that they've been able to explore so far. At least the elevator music is charming.

When the elevator door opens, the Champions enter a courtroom with 21 podiums arranged in a circle and each one marked with a name. McCree's face grins casually at the 20 surviving members from one of the podiums, a greyscale portrait in honor of the dead.]

Congratulations. We have now entered the trial portion of the test. I trust that you will do your best to determine who disturbed the peace by committing murder. Once the culprit has been found, they will face an appropriate punishment for their crime. If you fail to determine the culprit, however, they will be allowed to leave the space station and the rest of you will face punishment instead.

We're all wearing the same crime against fashion.

The victim still had his hat, did he not? It was likely an accessory that wasn't removed with the rest of our belongings.

[she ain't wrong, this shits a crime]

Is it possible that someone might've been able to keep their small accessories, like earrings? Or they made themselves a little charm after arriving here?

...Of course, the bead could be something else entirely.

[semperperatus]

They didn't let me keep my ring, if that's the case.

[SLIIIIIGHTLY SALTY ABOUT THAT]

[mikooon]

Oh, thank goodness I didn't get to the ring stage just yet. I would've positively lost my mind.

[yeah they didn't get to the ring stage because they got ERASED FROM EXISTENCE until Fate/Extella comes out and I can finally choose a good goddamn canon point.]

[refusedtoleave]

I was wearing earnings and wedding ring and they didn't let me keep them.

[Forever going to be bitter about her wedding ring.]

[stitch_in_time]

They didn't let me keep anythin' I had on me, and I've usually got pretty deep pockets.

[No sonic, no psychic paper, no TARDIS key, not even a stick of celery.]

[voltrounds]

Some of us have accessories, though. [By way of example, she turns her head off to the side, gesturing to the tiny blue scrunchies holding her pigtails together.]
