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.]

[...fuck it. Shigeo is pissed and he's not scared of what this robot has up his sleeve.

So he just puts his vote in as everything he's heard of:

The Researcher, Hodgepodge Hodgepodge "Your Learning Pal" Miller.]

You're guilty.

[scratchitti]

...well, so much for waiting.

[Neku is closer to the extra podium so he trots over and put Hodgepode's name in there before going to his own

maybe if he's lucky that'll count and hodgepode will be taken down with them if they're wrong. Or it's been Penny the whole time and he's killed a nice robot girl. Oh well, yolo]

[in4apounding]

[Looks at Shiego. Looks up at the walls and central column.]

[Heck it.]

[Penny steps up to a podium.]

>RESEARCHER

I'm still not actually sure who Patches was but YOU'RE A JERK.

[deathroadtocanada]

[SHE'S PROUD OF YOU PENNY]

[deathroadtocanada]

More than anyone else.

[Kara will just put in "The Researcher" because hey that's how he introduced himself. Time to get the ball rolling.]

[mightdoriya]

[...] >RESEARCHER I'm sorry, Researcher, but this isn't going to work how you think it will. Because there's only one guilty party here. It's you.

[windowsexplorer]

>The Researcher

Let's be done with this.

[canbebeautiful]

>The Researcher can get fucked.

[This is what you get for letting her just type whatever.]

[scratchitti]

[And seeing that everyone else is down to do this, he adds his own vote for the Researcher.

He's the Partner after all, we're all in this together]
