THE TRIAL

[idolpro]

Who: Idols: Courtroom Edition
Where: Day 68, Morning
When: Soon after the hellscapification intensification

[ the alarm on your phone goes off: a game. do you really want to go to the Game Tower, now?

well, you don't get a choice. it's like the floor drops out from underneath you, a wrenching feeling in your stomach as you fall through what ought to be solid floor but now is permeable. you fall.

and land on a platform.

You're in the Game Tower, you can tell by the view outside the windows. but the floor you are in has been cleaved down the middle into two halves. a black abyss separates them, too wide to cross though you can see and shout across. each half is, recognizably, a bastardization of a courtroom. avante en garde, pep!pep!, WILD CITY, and ☆ZRAEL occupy one half; AlcheME!, Taisho Roman Revolution, sensitIV and future is now, the other. For those that were monochrome or silhouetted, you'll find at your feet an accessory for your unit-- in this moment, putting it on will center you. It may not do much for your physical condition, but your mental clarity and emotions will return the moment you don it.

raised above the rest of the courtroom, a good sheer second floor balcony above the two halves is the long desk of the presiding judges, Heart Soldier Senshi and BAD END=DEAD END. Exael and Mukuro are nowhere to be seen.

Court is now in session. ]

[ OOC: Please only tag into the mingle and your specific trial. You can watch the other trials, and yell in the mingle thread, but you cannot interfere in the arguments between teams in the trial threads.

TRIAL HEART SOLDIER SENSHI presides over:
avante en garde, pep!pep!, WILD CITY, ☆ZRAEL

TRIAL BAD END=DEAD END presides over:
AlcheME!, Taisho Roman Revolution, sensitIV, future is now

Each unit has three hours to make their cases. ]

[ still doesn't full understand what's going on but until another sensitIV comes to stop him he's going to shift right to just yelling at Bad End ]

What the hell's meaning of this!? I have never sold out my own unit!

Re: ARGUEMENTS

[motorcycle_noises]

Those are the crimes you are charged with. The court will now hear your defending arguments.

Re: ARGUEMENTS

[bevoted]

I don't want to hear that from the guy that threw the last game instead of protecting your unit.

Re: ARGUEMENTS

[motorcycle_noises]

I'm not the one on trial here. Do your best, Loki-san.

Re: ARGUEMENTS

[bevoted]

What, do you want a detailed list of all the things I've done to protect sensitIV?

Re: ARGUEMENTS

[motorcycle_noises]

[ He pulls out a lighter and flicks it open and shut. ]

If that's how you want to present your argument, then yes.

Re: ARGUEMENTS

... but I'm not the only one on trial, am I?


I want to know why these accusations are being lodged against us. What actions have we taken that you would accuse us of betraying our own?

Re: ARGUEMENTS

[thotcrimes]

They're calling us all traitors. How do you plead?

Re: ARGUEMENTS

[bevoted]

[ did you use that word on purpose or, ]

I am not a traitor.

Re: ARGUEMENTS

[thotcrimes]

It's right there on our list of crimes, betrayal!

[ stop using words that set him off. ]



[ actually he looks deeply conflicted and like he's close to crying. or screaming. he doesn't even know what's going on, why is all of this coming up now, ]

Whatever they think they're accusing us of, they're wrong.

Re: ARGUEMENTS

[thotcrimes]

Are they? Well they might be about you guys, anyway.

Re: ARGUEMENTS

[bevoted]

... don't you dare try to imply that Taisho should be considered guilty.

Re: ARGUEMENTS

[sancrimony]

[ aaahhh taking a hold of his sleeve ]

Re: ARGUEMENTS

[bevoted]

[ .... it's okay Luci, he's got this. maybe.

moves to hold his hand though. he's just going to yell at Bad End unless told to stop, ]

Re: ARGUEMENTS

[sancrimony]

[ closes his eyes, giving his hand a gentle squeeze ]

Onii-san isn't wrong.

Re: ARGUEMENTS

[bevoted]

....... I don't know what's happening.

[ honestly. but... ]

I won't let anything happen to you, or anyone else on sensitIV if I can help it.

Re: ARGUEMENTS

[sancrimony]

[ leaning up to murmur ]

Because we . . . as a community, I think, are not doing well enough in performing, we are meant to damn two other units in order to survive. For whatever reason, we are meant to damn them on the basis of unit cohesion and loyalties.

[ tired, though ]

. . . Even if no one is really committing those crimes, that is our role to play.

[ with a glance to C who is being C ]

Re: ARGUEMENTS

[artificialinelegance]

Fuck 'em. It's a false accusation, they can eat a dick.

Re: ARGUEMENTS

[bevoted]

[ rubbing the heel of his hand into his face, honestly he has a headache at this point. ]

Apparently we are "guilty until proven innocent".

Re: ARGUEMENTS

[artificialinelegance]

Dogshit. Order me to follow Yasu's example.

Re: ARGUEMENTS

[bevoted]

-- what? No!

Re: ARGUEMENTS

[artificialinelegance]

You know I don't need you to, right? It's in our best interests, I got free reign to do whatever. It works better if you give the order, but I'm gonna say it either way.

Re: ARGUEMENTS

[sancrimony]

Follow Yasuragi-no-Mikoto's example.

[ LAUGHS AND LAUGHS AND LAUGHS AND ]

Order accepted, li'l bro.
