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. ]

sensitIV

[sancrimony]

Honorable judges, we stand here before you today, accused of sabotaging our own unit. Conflicting loyalties - you say that is our crime.

However, consider that we are one of the few units that made it out of the last game, the winner take all. Consider what we have done to protect our own. Consider that we are not above attacking others in order to protect our own unit. Consider that we would break our own ties off-unit in order to prove our own unit's loyalties. Our actions should speak louder than any testament we could give.

[ with a gesture to santa, for one thing ]

However, perhaps that is not enough for our honorable judges. If there is anything that could be considered a crime, it would be that we have tried our best to be impartial medics, healers to the other units. You say that we have committed the crime of sabotage - if even this much is the case, then very well.

[ and he turns around to look at the rest of this side of the court now, locking eyes with everyone that he can - and he slams his hand against the wall, shouting to demand everyone's attentions ]

Then, let us correct that this instant! Let us revoke such an advantage that you say is the making of our downfall! If you would have us tear everyone in this room apart with our own bare hands, then we would do as such - but if you ask for blood, then take it!

[ and that's when everyone who locks eyes with lucifel or loki will start feeling their scars split open, rewinding back into wounds. ]

[ GOOD THING I BOUGHT OFF THOSE MASSIVE LEG AND TORSO WOUNDS

for his part the only wounds he has to burst open are the non-lethal bullet wounds through his hand and the back of his shoulder - he clutches at the back of his right hand with a hitch of his breath, but barks out-- ]

Loki! Heal Taisho!

Pretty--damn cowardly, to say something like "with our own hands" and then use your unit trait for it.
