TRIAL 01

Attention, Citizens! You have ten minutes to proceed to the Loyalty Chamber. Anyone who is late to the Loyalty Chamber, or who brings any weapons into the Loyalty Chamber, will be immediately executed.

[Once you arrive, you will find a large chamber, with twenty podiums spaced around the room in a circle. On the ceiling, a massive screen showing the digital eye of The Computer, turning to look at whoever is talking.]

You have one hour to come to a consensus about who to eliminate. Ties will be broken randomly.

[The floor of the chamber begins to split apart, eventually only leaving the twenty podiums as safe places to stand, above a seemingly bottomless abyss. Each podium lights up with a touch screen showing twenty user IDs (Seryu-R-CIT-1 is grayed out), plus the word “ABSTAIN”. The trial begins now!]

He could be, but even if they're clean we wouldn't know unless we had somewhere we can turn off the lights and a bottle of luminol.

Hm.

[He's having a hard time deluding himself into thinking he's drunk. Clay gives a thoughtful pause, tapping at his side.]

I don't recall suggesting anything of the sort. But hey, I think that's a great idea Junior's come up with. If we can find a bloody smudge, then WHAM!

Whoever stepped in the blood has had hours to clean it up. I doubt we'll find anything unless someone is completely incompetent.

Well, the stain would still be there, we just couldn't see it. That's what the luminol would be for.

[...hmm]

What's luminol?

It's a special chemical compound that reacts with blood. If you spray it onto something and there's a bloodstain on it, it glows in the dark.

...That sounds like a good idea, actually.

But how are we going to pass it around in order to make sure no one drops it?

[That abyss beneath them looks like it would be fatal if someone fell from their podium.]

I'm not sure we can, plus there's the fact that we don't actually have luminol and we don't have access to the light switch for this room.

[opens his mouth to say something.]

[then closes it. he's not really having a lot of faith in competent folks right now.]

It's something to keep in mind in the future. Everyone was stupidly lazy about figuring things out. If she weren't so crazy and our main suspect, I'd ask if Miss Psycho Meowth up there could sniff out any blood.

[then to Clay] And stop calling me Junior!

Blood is easy to smell and a really nice scent. ♪

You would think that. . . [AND YET. CONSIDERING. what if they all just threw their shoes over there would that even work gosh. Frowns to himself!!]]

It is a start, at least. Here, I'll go first.

[Hers are clean, but a) the luminol and b) the people on the other side probably won't see that too clearly.]

[So is Clay's.]

Spick and span, just how they should be!

Must we...? [ god she doesn't want to drop her shoe in the abyss. or tumble into the abyss trying to put it back on

But she does hold her loafers up, and they are also clean. ]

If mine are returned, I don't mind volunteering as well.

[ She'll slowly take her loafers off and reveal them for everyone to see, showing that hers are pretty darn clean. ]

I'm not taking my shoes off. [ Do you know how much these puppies cost he's not going to risk dropping them into the abyss. ] They're white. If there was any blood on them, everyone would've noticed as soon as I walked in here.

I'm fine with that explanation.

[With that panic from earlier, she thinks...]

My shoes are light pink! I'll take them off if I need to, but no way would you not be able to see blood on them!

This is ridiculous.

[But he'll take them off just the same, showing off his spotless shoes.]

[ Knightley takes his off, being careful not to drop them into the abyss.

They're clean. ]

[Anthy somehow manages to take her own shoes off without her, Chuchu, or the shoes falling in the abyss.]

Clean.

Mine are clean.

[Culry holds her boots out for all to see, and then left and right. Whomever's closest to her should be able to get a better look.]

[Takes off his shoes (no socks!) and holds them up. They're clean.]

I'm always careful where I step around crime scenes. Treading on blood and evidence would get me in pretty big trouble with the chief of police!

Edited (typo) 2014-11-06 15:26 (UTC)

[also holds up a shoe]

This is pointless unless someone can detect the blood.

[And Robin takes hers off. And they're clean. She's also trying very hard not to lose them to the abyss.]
