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.

[odasaku]

Is there something strange about that?

[quickpersuader]

[Oda

Oda, please.]

[doublelammy]

It sounds like he's asking her to have some wild sex.

[Very matter-of-factly.]

[integratedsoul]

[ Scandalized shrieking from the background?!

Though it then dissolves into embarrassed laughter. ]

[clearities]

. . . what's sex? [ oh my god someone save this child ]

[tuffguy]

OK, no more listening for you about this topic!

[ puts hands over her ears??? is it effective? probably not ]

[clearities]

[ more loud confused noises, what is going on!!! ]

[tuffguy]

[ i will not be responsible for corrupting this pure child ]

[doublelammy]

[Millium goes over to Sakura's podium to pat her on the head.]

It's okay, Sakura. We'll tell you when you're older.

[clearities]

But we're the same age!

[doublelammy]

[Pat, pat!]

[carbide]

The method by which humans reproduce.

[...why is she the one of the two of them who knows this information, sakura's the one who's a human]

[clearities]

I'm still confused... [ 'Reproduce' isn't exactly a word that she uses in her dictionary a lot. Does she have to look this up in a library later? ]

[carbide]

I do not think it is relevant.

[they can look it up together, olympia's not sure how they got here]

[clearities]

Okay.

[ Let's just.


Get back to the trial. ]

[odasaku]

Oh.

[ he doesnt look too bothered by it.... but his ears are red. ]

[tuffguy]

I WAS TRYING TO NOT SAY THAT OUTLOUD.

[streetwolf]

And how the fuck do you know that?

[doublelammy]

I went to military school. People talk!

Oh, and Lechter told me all sortsa things before I even went to Thors, so...

[She could go on, but please don't let her.]

[relieable]

I don’t know which is worse.... the fact that you know about kinky sex, or the fact that someone in your military school took the time to explain it to a kid.

[is this really the time and place to talk about this]

[doublelammy]

Oh, Lechter's not a part of my school, he's another Ironblood.

[That does not improve literally anything, Millium?]

[streetwolf]

Why'd Lechter tell you that...[It's with the nastiest scowl, not at her. He's just internally grumping.]

[burgerprince]

[dude.]

[tuffguy]

[ killbill sirens flashback to when he was engaged to eska ]

It's. [ stops. looks at sakura. and then makes the executive decision to get closer to oda to finish his answer ] a Thing... that people are into.

Privately.

Where no one can see them.

[ makes head jerks so he doesn't need to say anything else outloud ]
