THE FIRST TRIAL
[Almost as soon as the investigation is over, a loud DING echoes through the mall.
The elevator doors in the food court, before completely inaccessible, have now opened for the Titled. It will not close until every last Titled has gotten in. Nor will everyone have to wait long for potential stragglers; a thought comes to everyone's mind, a realization that they need to get into the elevator. They need to go.
They need to find out who did this.
The elevator is a small freight elevator inside, and its just big enough to fit everyone in it. After a short ride, the elevator opens...
And they are on the roof. Despite it clearly not being that late in the day, the roof seems to be surrounded by an air of cool, perpetual sunset. Beyond that, good luck making out what's beyond the roof - there seems to be a city, but it's utterly unidentifiable. Not that anyone can jump off the roof to try and get closer - there is a translucent barrier surrounding the roof that is utterly impenetrable.
The main attraction of the roof, however, is not the fuzzy landscape beyond. It's the large, stepped circular platform which is a mere ten paces from the elevator. On this platform are 15 podiums, surrounding a large, empty, circular floor. Instantly every phone pings, giving everyone their platform assignment based on their bedroom number. And - upon arriving at their designated podium - they will find a dock for their phone to slide into. As soon as they do so the XAMINE app will pop up, revealing everyone's findings regarding the murder.
Not Wake, though. His podium is lower, and bare save for a white cloth.
Still, everyone - including Ren, who will find that whoever arranged this whole deal has given him a chair to sit in - will need their strength. Which is why each Stranger also has a bento box lunch, carefully prepared, waiting for them at their podium. Each meal is tailored to every Stranger's specific tastes and allergies, as best as a bent box meal can be. It even comes with a cup of their favorite drink.
So, take a few bites, take a few breaths, and get ready, Titled.

[ Karma's really been taking it easy here but he hasn't been ignoring a single detail however. He really couldn't hold back from saying such a thing now, however. ]
Sounds like I'm listening to a child, actually.

[ Pointed look. ]

[ A lazy, edged smile shows here. ]
Sad how a grown man is acting this way, honestly.

It's natural to bare fangs when you get cornered...
[ Like a wild animal getting tossed into a cage...
Louder, though: ]
There's no consideration for the fact that a person is now dead. How's any of this supposed to convince us he's innocent?
[ DIO IS SOUNDING... SO DAMN SELF-CENTERED WITH SOME OF THE STUFF COMING OUT OF HIS MOUTH????
It's starting to genuinely piss Akira off. ]

[ Its natural to be upset. Karma's upset about Wake being dead too but he's just showing it in a different way than the others might in this situation. ]
no subject
It's one thing to want to protect yourself, but to do it while clearly not caring at all about the life that was just lost...
[ A hand in his pocket curls into a tight fist, the other lifting so he can twist some of his bangs between his forefinger and thumb. ]
... and not even about the lives that are at risk because of it.

[ There was a quiet moment then, something pensive in his expression before he sighed and shook his head slowly. Still seeming to be taking things rather easily if it wasn't for the soft furrow of his brow that spoke what words couldn't. ]
Makes it even more important for us to make sure he pays his dues for acting this way then, hm?
