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.

That makes sense to me. 'cause of all the destruction, I think we've been looking at things the wrong way. We got confused and thought "it must be someone strong" thanks to the debris. Maybe we should have been looking for someone fast instead.

[robitussin]

...I mean, you also have superhuman speed written on your biography thing, don't you?

[unfashionably]

Yeah, I do. Sayin' this required someone quick on their feet doesn't help me at all, but I already told you guys. I'm a close-range fighter without my magic. There's no way I wouldn't have gotten hit if I fought Bakugou.

[robitussin]

...Right. I know you said your magic or whatever is basically useless because it's been weakened a lot, but - mind telling me what it can do, here?

[unfashionably]

Nothing besides make me an easy target in the dark.

[doublelammy]

Mind showing us?

May as well be sure.

[unfashionably]

If you think it'll help, sure.

[ So, have you seen DBZ? You've probably seen DBZ. That's what it looks like. He literally starts glowing and his hair stands up a little straighter. ]

[robitussin]

[It's clear from her expression she finds that incredibly weird, but!!]

Is that what makes you stronger and faster, or are you both of those things even normally?

[snideper]

Glowing like that would sure light up the darkness around you.

[robitussin]

You want to be more specific?

[snideper]

Superhuman senses, too. I'm good at that kind of stuff, sure, but I'm only human.

[you can see how much she actively, absolutely LOATHES saying ANYTHING that puts down her own skills even a LITTLE]

[burgerprince]

Jealous?

[Don't mind him enjoying this.]

[unfashionably]

I'm not denying that I fit the bill too. You might not like it, I might not like it, but I do fit. The problem is, I think you did it.

[snideper]

I think I'm the easiest person for you to pin this on because out of everyone, my skill set is most similar to yours.

I haven't been sure who did it, and I honestly don't really care, but you're not making yourself look great.

[unfashionably]

I think you'll pin the blame on any one of the people on that list, no matter who it is. But I don't think you're going to confess either, no matter what anyone says to you or how hard they point.

[snideper]

I'm not confessing because I didn't do it. I'm not gonna pretend like I care who did, but it wasn't me!

[unfashionably]

Sorry, but... I don't believe you.

[streetwolf]

I'm fast, but there's no way I was going near that. Like my thing says I'm normal and can't do any of this crazy shit some of you can.

[unfashionably]

Right now, there's only one person on here that I think did it. Clarisse, so... I guess what I'm saying is, I believe you didn't do it, man. I don't think Keith or Olympia did either.

[streetwolf]

Thanks... But I'm going to have to disagree with the Clarisse bit. Unless this is her messing shit up on purpose, I don't think she'd make as much mess.

[snideper]

[every time people defend her innocence she knows she should be grateful but actually she's just uncomfortable]

[streetwolf]

['Hello, this murder is too shoddy for a good murderer to do']

[unfashionably]

I think things got away from her, not that she messed up.

[streetwolf]

Right, so someone who shoots people messes up a shot and goes running at them instead?

[unfashionably]

I don't think the shot was messed up. I think it hit exactly where it was supposed to with what it was supposed to.
