second 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. Elisabeth and Connor have joined Mumble in having theirs draped in black crepe and with a framed monochrome photo of them on top.

When you reach the podiums, the lights above the stage finally come on. the Wizard is once again waiting for you. Beside it Hester is slowly lowers in on her bubble. Her dress this week is a purple monstrosity, more akin to a voluminous prom dress than the simple outfits she usually wears.

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 second trial, everyone. It's time to determine who was responsible for the murder of Connor. Feel free to talk amongst yourselves and work together - you'll have to show teamwork if you want to leave this room alive.

You have confessed that you do not believe your Jeremy has the ability to protect himself. Despite serving him, you cannot believe he could defend himself from an attack.

[He thought he could forge a bond with the mean robot. But his programming is nothing that can be changed.]

Have you realized how this situation continuously puts you under suspicion?

Your death warrant, too, for that matter. Which would be unfortunate and not, oh what was it, in your human's best interests?

If you're so lumping worried about it why don't you just tell us what happened then? STOP TALKING WEIRD AND JUST SAY STUFF!

...suicides often come with a letter. It was logical.

[arches an eyebrow] "Programming," I believe you called it? Mademoiselle Peregrine has been in quite some distress--Madame Elisabeth was the same. There was no need to tell us what exactly was happening to her, and yet you could not help yourself, could you?

Are you designed in this way?
voicerights: (where do you think this will lead?)

[personal profile] voicerights 2021-06-19 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I am aware. It is why I am asking you to prove it.

It's hardly my fault it's being so obviously reprehensible right now.

[Spongebob looks like he's just been punched in the gut.]

...What?
voicerights: (do you feel the commotion?)

[personal profile] voicerights 2021-06-19 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I remember.

Humans. Aren’t. Logical.

I called dibs on that, then.

It was logical for him to write a letter.

[Hey, anyone paying close attention to the SQUIP right now? Because there is the slightest of trembling in its hands]

And logical for him to address it to Evan.

Good. Then answer this for me, as a favor: did you kill Connor Murphy?

It’s whatever. I did give you a pretty bad bitch-eye.
sugarlumps: (lump off)

[personal profile] sugarlumps 2021-06-19 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Ugh, it can't even, like, be evil right.
voicerights: (do you see the confusion?)

[personal profile] voicerights 2021-06-19 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
...No.

They are irrational, which is how I found him.
employeeoftheyear: (Give me a chance)

[personal profile] employeeoftheyear 2021-06-19 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
B-but he said he didn't know Evan! He didn't tell me but a lot of his friends said that he didn't know him.

It wouldn't have been logical!

[Well Salieri is still holding it's hand so

His eyes narrow]


It was not. Which you would know, if you knew the full explanation of Evan Hansen.

Seriously.

It's like a very sad amateur hour right now. It's just embarrassing.

I'm right, aren't I? For all your logic, you failed to understand one thing.

By always putting love first and foremost,
We steadily follow our hopes
Without wavering

There...was a pill. That came out of the machine.

You said you were extracted, didn't you?

You mean it was logical for you.

A hasty and biased assumption.

How flawed of it.

It was too late.
