Hostile Action Trial

[mockmods]

[As you all finish investigating, an electric chime rings out across the PA system.]

I believe that should be sufficient time for you all to prepare. Assistant, please escort everyone to the trial room.

[Penny emerges from the Security office again, head down, and slowly collects everyone; she leads you all to the east side of the common room, to the short hallway between dorms B1 and A2, that’s dead ended through your entire time here. As your group approaches, the wall seamlessly slides up to reveal a hidden doorway. Passing through leads to another short hallway and a small, round room, just big enough to hold all of you. Penny passes her ID over a small pad near the doorway, and it blinks green before the room lurches slightly beneath you; an elevator going down.]

[A short trip down leads you to a larger chamber, with a series of twenty-two podiums set up in a ring; in the center is a column of computer stations with large monitors, behind a set of thick metal beams with occasional faint flashes of energy arcing between them and a constant, low hum.]

Welcome to your first trial, Participants. You will use this time to determine which among your number killed the Legendary Bassist, and send them to justice. Failure to choose the correct culprit will have dire consequences for you all.

[Trial: commence.]

[Not much time has passed between the discovery of Yaiba's body and...having to come here, to do this. Izuku, for better or worse, looks exhausted. Both from the experience of having to see what he did as well as spending hours scouring the building for clues as to how it happened, who did it, and why. He knows he doesn't have everything, but he's written down as much as he found. Despite how haggard he looks and feels, there's determination in his posture all the same. He couldn't save someone mere feet away, but he can do everything in his power to stop the person responsible. Before he gets to that, though...he stops at his podium and calls out to the ever present voice of the Researcher.] Dire consequences? What are you saying?

[Bout that...]

[If Izuku was a cursing boy he'd be cursing you right about now]
