First Trial
[As the investigation ends, you'll hear Hester's voice inviting you to the auditorium. As this happens, the twin doors on either side of the concession stand, across from the gym, will click open. You can enter on either side; both go to the same place.
When you enter the auditorium, it's dark. There's only the small lights along the walkway behind all the seats, just enough to illuminate where you're going. There's a central path between the seats, down towards where you know the stage must be. That's where you must be going, right? As you pass each row of seats, the lights at their ends flick on, marking your procession and slowly making more and more of the room visible. Shortly, you can see your destination: a circle of podiums stationed in the orchestra pit, below the lip of the darkened, curtained stage. They're all identical, labeled with a cast member's name, save for Mumble's, which is draped in black crepe and has a framed monochrome photo of him - Elijah Wood him - on top.
When you reach the podiums, the lights above the stage finally come on. It's time to meet the Wizard.
The mechanical head, with glowing green eyes, is installed above the stage and the still-closed curtain. Even if you were standing on the stage, it'd be well out of reach. It peers down at all of you, its motions fluid, and speaks with a booming, artificial-sounding voice:]
Welcome to your first trial, everyone. I am the Wizard. It's time to determine who was responsible for the murder of Mumble. Feel free to talk amongst yourselves and work together - you'll have to show teamwork if you want to leave this room alive.

An entire frozen fish...do you think mumble was trying to eat something?
[...]
Princess, where did you find that?
no subject
[She had to touch it with her shoe, it was gross.]
The place was pretty messed up, too.

So there was a half eaten frozen fish, which I assume Mumble was probably eating...and a lot of boxes tossed onto the floor.
[Which could indicate a struggle, but it could have been Mumble having trouble finding what he wanted. If he thinks himself to be a penguin, Varian would believe him struggling with hands...but after this long?
Hm.]
You had to go through the kitchen to get to the freezer, right? Did you see anything else?
no subject
[Nor did she actually clean it up, she's not a maid.]
They even, like, bled on the floor. In the kitchen. That's like a health code violation, I'm pretty sure.
no subject
[ Orpheus looks around at the rest of the people who showed up when the body was found. ]
Mumble didn't have any blood or wounds on him, did he?
no subject
[He tried so hard and found nothing.]
His fingers...the tips of this fingers were blue.
no subject
[ Orpheus cuts himself off, shaking his head. No. No, no, no. ]

You're very lucky that Spongebob is extremely gullible.]
O-oh, that makes sense. I wonder why he didn't just ask me to make him food, but if he likes eating them frozen...
no subject
[Internal screaming.]
It was, uh, probably a penguin thing.
