THE FIRST TRIAL

THE FIRST TRIAL
(~SK. 3-4)



[When the investigation wraps up, there is a low, rumbling <D O N G, which vibrates throughout the ship. This is followed by the sound of creaking doors opening on the D Deck-the locked doors at the end of the hall.

Zero's voice speaks through the ship once this happens.]


The Investigation has ended. It is time for the Trial. Please proceed into the theater.

I suggest you be quick about it.


[And when you do...you will find a completely empty theater. There is a higher level, but this is currently blocked off by ropes, as is the stage itself. Anyone who attempts to jump the ropes will find themselves knocked on their butts; it seems there's no choice but to go to the podiums, located in the orchestra area of the theater. Notably, the podiums for bunks 6 and 7 are empty, draped with black crinoline and adorned with a photo of the deceased. And in the center of the podiums is...a birthday cake with some confetti surrounding it, along with some drinks. No indication whose birthday it is, but that's pretty much all you'll see in this otherwise very bare, quiet place.



CW: animal death


Unless, of course, you're the Eye. If you're the Eye, you will see every seat filled, if not by a root or vine, then by a...thing with glowing red eyes. One of these...things tries to move towards Anya-and immediately, after suddenly glowing red, thunks over sideways, it's head popping off with an almost comical P O P. The majority of the other...things stare at it before resuming their...whatever they're doing, while one of the things sitting next to it looks over, then towards the stage, then slowly hops off the seat and out the door.

Oh, and he doesn't even get his own podium. Aoi and Makima, good luck to you-Roland's been squeezed in between you, forced to take podium 3. You get to also see what he sees.

Once everyone's in place, A large wide screen....screen schlllorps from the stage, and Zero's face pops in once it turns on.]



Welcome to the Trial. Please, enjoy the refreshments. You will be here until you have either convicted the correct culprit-or, the culprit successfully gets away with it. If you have not familiarized yourself with the guidelines, I suggest you do so now.

All evidence is also available for review on your watches, if need be. Take your time, but...do not delay. Justice must be served.


[Well? No reason to delay. Power is dead. Very dead. And now it is time to figure out who would kill her with explogurt for a cheeseburger-if that's even what happened.


The trial of Power, The Drop, has begun.]

How many candles does this cake have?
pegasinister: (3)

[personal profile] pegasinister 2023-06-24 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
The cake and refreshments seems to suggest so.

Think we get anything if we sing the song?
hatesdeerstalkers: (why)

[personal profile] hatesdeerstalkers 2023-06-24 04:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Looks at his podium.

Looks at Val next to him.]


...May I exchange podiums with someone else?
threwabone: (Clockwork)

[personal profile] threwabone 2023-06-24 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)

Only one way to find out!
hatesdeerstalkers: (Preposterous)

[personal profile] hatesdeerstalkers 2023-06-24 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
A sense of accomplishment, perhaps.

I'd gathered that the coins were generating quite a menagerie for us, but this seems rather excessive.

[Tilting head harder.]

How did Ritsu-chan finally do that?
valkavian: (Its cold tonight as the clouds turn gray)

[personal profile] valkavian 2023-06-24 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)

Hm. An interesting question. I also wonder.
valkavian: (punishment too great to bear)

Didn't you set this place up? You should be the one person who does know.
yesorwoof: (Pondering)

[personal profile] yesorwoof 2023-06-24 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Roland-kun has gotten some things.

[Brain arches an eyebrow at that, looking a bit amused]

Surely you're not scared, are you?

valkavian: (fall from grace unholy night)

[personal profile] valkavian 2023-06-24 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
If it makes you feel any better I don't usually go for old man juice.
hatesdeerstalkers: (Chibi)

[personal profile] hatesdeerstalkers 2023-06-24 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)

[Not joining but watching the cake and glancing at the screen to see if anything happens.]
hatesdeerstalkers: (Seriously part two)

[personal profile] hatesdeerstalkers 2023-06-24 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
The Dead Apostle went for my neck when I was bleeding the first week here.

[Just, flatly.]

I'd rather not repeat that experience, thank you.
pegasinister: (12)

[personal profile] pegasinister 2023-06-24 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, what is the date? That may narrow things.
15unknowns: (Default)

[personal profile] 15unknowns 2023-06-24 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I cannot say. There are some things even I do not have power over.
