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.

[Kino's getting a bit of scowl, but he does oblige with an answer.]

We talked about it at the meeting on Tuesday. Everyone else was there.

[A beat.]

We were trying to lure out the reporter by causing a scene that they might write about. Didn't go anywehre, didn't see anyone that looked like they might be a journalist. Katsuki was acting like himself. I didn't think anything was off,

We split up and the next time I saw him was at the chapel. [You know. Dead.]

The last person who saw him was probably Hawks. The two of them were doing patrols together.

[Kino gives a nod.]

I see. Thank you for telling me. Did you end up patrolling last night as well?

[marmoron]

No. After that incident at the park, I wasn't about to draw more attention to myself from the folk in town by wandering around at night.

[Jail wasn't fun, tl;dr.]

I was in my room.

[quickpersuader]

[Not gonna get any leads there, then...]

Okay. Thank you.

[icariot]

Keith is right, I was with Bakugou until about one in the morning. We had gone around on patrol.

[Yeah, Hawks isn't feeling particularly great knowing he was most likely the last (friendly) face Bakugou saw.]

[quickpersuader]

So it had to have been sometime this morning...

[integratedsoul]

So we're looking at a very late night crime, then....
