Week 3 - Trial

Week 3: Trial

April 20th. It was now time for the trial.

When everyone arrives at the trial room, the tribunes are already filled with townspeople. Compared to last week, there's less morbid curiosity and more quiet outrage. Everyone's glaring at the visitors while they enter the courtroom.

The number of podiums draped in black has increased dramatically. Nine's, Mako's, Sandalphon's, and Bakugou's have joined Moloch's, raising the number to five. That's one sixth of the available podiums. How many more will be covered in black velvet before these two months end?

Once everyone is at the right podium, the Sergeant bangs his gavel. He doesn't seem to be in better mood than before.

"Today the victim is Katsuki Bakugou. Solve it."

Without even bothering to taunt or be as antagonistic as usual, he waves the gavel. Five small photos appear on the podiums.

            

"When it's time, you shall cast your vote. Write it on paper or put the photo inside the slot, I don't really care about how you do it. What matters is that you actually do it. Start your discussion."

The trial room went completely silent, all the visitors can feel the attentive stares of the townspeople gathered to watch. It's up to them now to find the culprit.

Let the trial begin.

It's likely that only one suspect is guilty.

[She's looking at Clarisse. Shocking, I know.]

[streetwolf]

Uh...You're on the list too you know?

[carbide]

I'm aware.

[No change in tone whatsoever.]

[streetwolf]

Right, so long as you know.....[Um]

[doublelammy]

Yeah, and you're up there, too.

So.

What was in your envelope, Olympia? 'Cause if I know anything about you, it's that you're pretty big on secrets.

[carbide]

[...Olympia did not expect to be affected by having Millium speak to her that way.]

Directions.

[doublelammy]

Directions to what?

[She might apologize later if it turns out to not be Olympia, but...]

Listen, Olympia. All I know is that my friend is dead, and he was really strong.

...And so are you. So if anyone up there is lookin' suspicious to me right now, it's you.

[carbide]

[Olympia continues responding in monotone. The only indication that Millium's suspicion is hurting her is that she turns away.]

Directions to a certain location in the Yggdrasil Labyrinth.

[She can practically hear the next question already, though.]

Where a certain person will be soon. Normally I would be with him, but because of all this, he'll be alone.

[doublelammy]

Thank you.

[That's all she has to say on this right now. There will be more to deal with later, she's sure.]

[carbide]

I didn't kill him.

[She isn't sure how much her word is worth right now, but she thinks she should say it.]

[doublelammy]

...

I really hope you're telling the truth.
