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's not how it works. Everyone's eyes, even mine, need time to adjust to the dark.

[snideper]

The firepower would've lit the place up, too, wouldn't it? Even if you haven't adjusted to the rest of your surroundings, you'd know where the light's coming from.

[unfashionably]

I can't tell if you're talking about his quirk or my magic. Since I haven't seen his quirk, I couldn't tell you what it would do. But I already told you my magic would give me less visibility, not more.

[snideper]

I'm talking about his "quirk" or whatever. The explosions. I haven't seen it, but it's an easy assumption to make based on all the fire damage. Fire lights up a space.

[amburere]

His quirk was explosions not fire. He could cause a spark with his quirk, but it'd only light up the area briefly.

[ This is important cause fire is his thing ok. ]

[snideper]

Got it. Still, it's enough to know where he's coming from. Looking at the tapestries and stuff, too, I'm guessing some stuff actually did catch fire.

[robitussin]

Even if you have superhuman senses?

[snideper]

Aha.

[mad she didn't catch that and call it out herself but this is the closest to acknowledgement of natalie being good at something that clarisse will offer her]

[robitussin]

[She looks vaguely uneasy because every time Clarisse and her are on the same page it increases her Stress Levels, rip!!]

[unfashionably]

Yeah, even then.

[robitussin]

Are those super weakened here too, or do they still make it easier for you to see and hear and stuff?

[unfashionably]

If you're thinking I heard him moving around, you don't need good senses for that. Being skilled at fighting in low-light conditions like Clarisse will do the trick.

[robitussin]

I'm not assuming anything yet. I just want to know the answer to the question.

[unfashionably]

They're not as sharp as they were. Still decent though, even if it's nothin' by comparison.
