first trial

[Within a few minutes of the performers is finishing their investigations, the lights in every room flicker on and off several times. For those in or close to the lobby, they hear a faint rumbling. The gilded doors across from the heavy wooden front doors (which have always been there, the showrunners may have gotten to indicate them on the map) have opened.

Your intermission is ending. The show is about to begin.

The space behind them is lit; you're free to enter. It's a very short hallway, decorated in the same way as the lobby with the light walls and red carpet. There is one more set of doors to pass through and then you're all, finally, in the House. There's one grand chandelier above, glittering crystal, and the seats around you are made of fine, if dust-caked, red velvet. Those don't seem to be for you though - all the way down in front of the stage, where the orchestra might sit, there's a circle of wooden podiums. They're arranged so that everyone can face each other and are fixed into place. Each one bears a metal plaque with a cast member's name engraved on it. There's also a metal panel on top, with twenty ivory buttons paired to everyone's name.

Among these, only Jonny's podium is different - that one is draped in black crepe, with a larger grey-scale version of his headshot from the playbill framed and sitting at on top like a funerary portrait. Standing where he might have stood, a bare light bulb glows faintly atop a metal pole.

Right here, you're very close to the stage. But the curtain is closed, and it's a little too high to easily clamber up. You may not want to try. You've got more important business right now, after all.

As everyone is finding their places, the Phantom's voice suddenly sounds loud and clear throughout the space. If anyone is to look up, however, they'll see the dark suited figure of him and the whiteness of his mask peering over the edge of box 5.]


You must now determine who was responsible for the death of Jonny D'Ville. Submit your vote on the podiums when you are certain of your choice.

[Chris would be proud of you if she wasn't freaking out!]

I-If I know where to find a flavour that's red, I-I think so, but...

[Where in the world is she going to find that?]

What flavor would a red one be? Strawberry...? Cherry?

Maybe we can... try to make it ourselves!

We have little time. Can we concoct a potion in the kitchen? [Or wait for the mechandise booth to give them one, but that's not proactive enough.]

I-I mean, we could try, but we can't use regular Mountain Dew to make it. That would just hurt him.

The ingredients are on it, right? Maybe we can figure out what we need but just... change the flavor.

I... maybe. We'll have to try to work out something after this. If... if you want to help me.

Thank you, then... just... thank you.

[If they both get out of this, she'll be sure to ask after her later.]
