fifth trial

[As the investigation ends, you'll hear the Wizard'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. Discord, Elle, Orpheus and Eurydice now have theirs draped in black crepe and with a framed monochrome photo of them on top. At Maya's podium is a stool with a fresh amaryllis flower carefully set on it.

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. She's still in her pretty pink prom dress, her hair restyled and make-up freshened to not be so messy from sleep. It's also worth noting the blood on her skirt from when she assisted in helping Maya with her injury is gone.

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

Maybe they just took a few, instead of like, the full Chuck E. Cheese bag?

[Spongebob give Farrah a grave look.]

Farrah

Tell me more about this magical place.

It's a place with a giant junglegym, and a bunch of arcade machines, and creepy old animatronics that sing while you eat pizza.

And you get a big ol' sack [she gestures to poor, sweet, deceased Orpheus' bag of coins] of Chuck E Cheese coins, and use them to play games, and get tickets. Then you take the tickets...and get prizes
comeandfindme: (🦌 push into the fear until it shatters)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-07-10 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
The prizes are not usually like the things in the vending machine here. To stop the comparison. You choose the prize. The prize is not a random blood deer skin.

[ A beat. ]

Allegedly. We don't...have Chuck E. Cheese in Whitetail.

God, Per. Your childhood sounds awful. [BASED ON CHUCK E CHEESE ALONE...]
comeandfindme: ((would let her go out there alone?))

[ Peregrine shrugs. ]

We have a bowling alley? We have a mall? [ per it's a strip mall ]
sugarlumps: (that sounds lame)

[personal profile] sugarlumps 2021-07-10 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Malls are essential.
comeandfindme: ((left! right!))

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-07-10 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
...As long as they're not too busy. Like that one Minneapolis...

[ of course she hates the mall of america ]
employeeoftheyear: (And maybe one day Mr Krabs would say)

[personal profile] employeeoftheyear 2021-07-10 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
You know what kinda prizes you can get here?

[This is honestly the most important thing to him right now.]
comeandfindme: (never gonna stop until we shatter)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-07-10 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ To that, she......shrugs. ]

Toys...? [ please ask farrah ]
employeeoftheyear: (It's your lucky day)

[personal profile] employeeoftheyear 2021-07-10 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Fuuun toys?

[Too bad Peregrine he’s still asking.]
comeandfindme: (🍃 make another crack it doesn't matter)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-07-10 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Spongebob. I don't know how many times I can say that I'm from a town with 900 people. I know only of Chuck E. Cheese from TV and movies.
employeeoftheyear: (But there is more to me)

[personal profile] employeeoftheyear 2021-07-10 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
You didn’t even visit one before?

[He seems baffled. If there is such a wonderful place in her world why wouldn’t she try her hardest to go to one???]
comeandfindme: (whoa‚ whoa‚ whoa‚ whoa)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-07-10 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I've barely been outside of Minnesota. [ She doesn't seem particularly bothered by it? ] Mostly mom was busy with work, kinda hard to get away for a weekend when you're a nurse, and, like, Jacob and I had school so. Weekend trips to the cities were sort of spent doing other stuff.
employeeoftheyear: (Floating around)

[personal profile] employeeoftheyear 2021-07-10 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Farrah this sounds like the best place ever please promise me we’ll go once we’re out of here please!!! I promise I’ll be your best friend!

[Three people died today.]
brokeforgood: (farrah39)

[personal profile] brokeforgood 2021-07-10 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I thought we were already best friends? [WHAT THE FUCK SPONGEBOB]
employeeoftheyear: (And my feet on the ground)

[personal profile] employeeoftheyear 2021-07-10 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah but you’d be my best friend forever!
