theairlock | The Mock Trial

[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.

Someone else might've seen her wearing them.

[He doesn't want it to be Naho -doesn't want it to be anyone but the Overseers, really- but things are looking pretty bad right now.]

Hmm, it's too bad she didn't realize how insignificant she was. I barely even realized she was here!

[FUCKING

RUDE]

[Wow, really.]

I don't think your ego's really her problem.

You are not very nice.

Seriously...?

My. No one's said that to me before.

[It's... refreshing.]

[Amidst Tamamo getting ~~deservedly~~ blasted, she turns to the person she just insulted.]

Well, if it's any consolation, plain-looking girls seem to be all the rage in modern times! [yeah because obviously the mos timportant thing is that she's plain-looking and not that she's a fucking spiritual occultist

In Tamamo's defense, being an occultist was a respectable job back then!]

I'll take that as a compliment. Although-- I'd rather be praised for my work then what I look like.

[Not... necessarily the spirit medium part, although she takes it since it helps Kibiki-sensei.]

You're cute. All girls are cute, growl growl. You even smell nice. I didn't think foxes were mean.

[HEY stop that, Tamamo.]

[WHY IS THE BEAR TELLING HER OFF]

I'm sure everyone can see who is the cutest, foxiest one of us here! It's just too bad. Life... [dramatic pause] is unfair. But you can find love against all odds, so don't fret!

[TAMAMO THIS ISNT HELPFUL]

Edited (I needed to add Dramatic Pause) 2017-01-14 21:14 (UTC)

She's just as cute as you. Both of you smell nice and everything. There's no reason for this.

[BECAUSE IT'S DUMB. Girls are all beautiful. Why get jealous over it?! There's other things to be jealous of when it comes to other women, looks aren't.]

Foxes are okay, it's the narcissists that're an issue.

I don't see why this needs to be brought up at all. Accessory, yes, but not what she looks like.

She's just petty. I wouldn't worry about it.

This is so weird.

[...WOMEN ARE BEAUTIFUL CREATURES. Why this.]

Some girls have an inherent, egotistical need to put others down in order to prop themselves up.

[SHRUG. Her gay ass doesn't understand this either, Ginko.]

I can hear you from over here! When this is all over, I'll show you what makes me the Champion of Furries!

[the worst thing is, they're all fucking gay

except tamamo is technically bi. THE ONE WHO CAN LIKE MEN IS AN ASSHOLE. COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT]

I thought that just meant you have the best tail.

[Look, she gets having a type or thinking maybe 'I don't want to date this' but... Wow. Wow.

Also she means literal tail. Because that's fluffy as fuck and she'd cuddle the hell out of it.]

[................................. was that a proposition. it sounded like one.]

No thank you. Your personality is too unpleasant for me to be attracted to you in that manner.

[Excuse you, as a gay man, Margulis finds the implication that being attracted to men is related to being a jerk...wait, no, he's just further proof.]

[Yue...!!]

Right? I think so too. Although Sayaka-- ah. My best friend... she's even cuter than I am.

[What...!]

It's good to have friends that you think are like that.

[This is so damn gay.]

Pretty sure you're not including me, but I appreciate the sentiment, kid.

[This is very important she needs to throw in these two cents.]

I think you're a very pretty alien.

[Honestly, Sylvia, you're talking to the wrong gays.]

[Gosh you're too sweet Mai. Sylvia honestly couldn't remember a time where someone called her "pretty".]

Flattery will get you nowhere, you know.

[She looks away but she's smiling slightly. You're waaay too young for her, Mai, but gosh if she didn't appreciate the gesture.]
