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.

See about silencing her, as well.

Eh--!? Wait--!

[She has been tackled. The witch is dead.

Until she dies, you'll have to do this every trial. She gives maybe a teaspoon of a fuck about everyone here, much less their death.]

[Have a glove in your mouth.]

...Sorry. We can discuss this later.

MRFFFPPPHH!

[Awesome! Now the trial can actually get going after 300 comments.]

[semperperatus]

...That works. You can work this out later.

[Taking a breath, hitching when he feels pain start to happen. Maybe annoyed at teenagers sighs will have to wait until he's more healed, weh]

Does anyone have a strip of cloth, or anything?
