third 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. Some of you have a detour to make beforehand- Hester lets you in to her office to drop off the precious cargo without incident. She then slips off to in the direction of the scene shop.

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. The SQUIP, the Balladeer and Rina now have 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. Either she was magicked up there or the catwalk repair had a very impressive turnaround time. The Dad Squad and Peregrine have already seen this week's look but those who haven't might notice the braid bun her hair is in has half-fallen out and her little white heels are covered in dirt.

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

Did she have one?
comeandfindme: (nothing hurts if you can)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-26 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't... [ Peregrine shakes her head. ] That was the only one I knew about. If it was in the dance studio... I don't think she would've left it there on purpose. Or any of the other ones.

[personal profile] whatyouwant 2021-06-26 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
So whoever did this may have already had one. The Princess found some beads in the cornfield. Maybe it was broken then?
comeandfindme: (dodge!)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-26 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey... Hey, that's a good idea! Whoever's got a bracelet from Rina, we can clear!
whatyouwant: (:O)

[personal profile] whatyouwant 2021-06-26 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Is that why she was asking for favorite colors? If so we should go grab that list she had up to compare too.
comeandfindme: (every branch‚ every rock)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-26 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Does- is it here? Are we allowed to go and get it if it's not?
whatyouwant: (confidence)

Hey Mods!

[personal profile] whatyouwant 2021-06-26 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Elle looks up at Hester, not the Wizard.]

Can one of us go see if the list is still there?
whatyouwant: (confidence)

[personal profile] whatyouwant 2021-06-26 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Elle frowns at the Wizard but heads out anyways.

She comes back a few minutes later empty handed.]


No luck, she must have taken it down.
mcfife: heartfelt (☀️all that I've known here)

[personal profile] mcfife 2021-06-26 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
What color are we looking for? [Finally, a lead?]
whatyouwant: (confidence)

[personal profile] whatyouwant 2021-06-26 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
The beads they found were blue and black.
mcfife: (🔪 Carrying the breath of fire)

[personal profile] mcfife 2021-06-26 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright. Someone who would request those colors.

[His shoulders relax.]
violentenvies: vicious-mongrel @ tumblr (11 Or have you go)

[personal profile] violentenvies 2021-06-26 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Or someone who Rina thought would reflect those colors.
mcfife: (🦄 the land that I once called my home)

[personal profile] mcfife 2021-06-26 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
There was a lot of black, wasn't there? That would remove those who usually wear something light like Elle, Spongebob, and the Princess.

...

Me as well. I stick to royal green.

[Someone might be glancing sidelong at Varian. He's sort of got that color scheme going on but.

He would never. She knows that he would never.]


I requested a very pale lavender, if it helps.

[personal profile] defyingfrigidity 2021-06-26 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Mmmmm....]

Not all of Rina's projects were done with colors people requested. I helped her the other day, and she said that some of them she made with colors she thought would fit us.
comeandfindme: (never gonna stop until we)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-26 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Peregrine nods. ] She...already had mine done before I could even tell her. I was gonna ask for red, but... Well...

[ White star, after all. ]

Did she say how she chose the colors?

If we know, we might...narrow the list down.

Yeah.

[Holding up one of the beads.]

Kinda gothy looking, but not in a bad way, maybe.

Is that why she was asking everyone's favorite colors?

[ orpheus is that relevant right now ]

I didn't get one from her. It's possible she only finished and handed out a couple of them.
comeandfindme: (when it breaks)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-26 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I got mine on Wednesday. She wouldn't've had a lot of time, before...

[ hhhhhhh! ]

I did as well. She was working on a project in the library and wouldn't let me see it.

[personal profile] brokeforgood 2021-06-26 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Farrah wordlessly raises hers to show off—- just like Per, she has two bracelets.]
mcfife: (🦄 cross the mighty river Tay)

[personal profile] mcfife 2021-06-26 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I never received one from her. I'm sorry.
