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.

[ Your local field medic here... Line up girls. ]

[ It's not... verbally flirty, but it is verbally a joke, so she's at least not as fucked up as she was after the thing with B! Anyway, Janis will take off her jacket and turn around in her swimsuit to make it clear that she's uninjured. ]
hallucination mentions
In addition, she'll let Janis check her. Peregrine has various nicks and scratches but they're the same ones Janis would've seen on her yesterday morning from all the trying to build a snow shelter out of...the bleachers. Her hands are also very raw, from washing away Maya's blood.
.....and there's like. some blood stains on her shirt but we're not doing a trial two again, everyone saw this particular adventure. ]
no subject
You're good.
[ It's one of the more sincere-sounding statements she's made here. ]
no subject
You too.
no subject
[Unless she picked up any blood from Maya this morning, she is injury and blood free.]
no subject
[ At least she still knows how to deadpan. ]

Elsa, where'd you get these from? Do you remember?
no subject
[Elsa looks to the side, first to Cass, then across the circle of podiums to Maya.]
They're from a few days ago. I'd asked Cass if she could help me train with a sword, so I'd be... well. Useful, if things got worse. [She can't rely on her magic when her magic's so unpredictable, after all.] You can ask Maya, as well - she showed me a few things before I went to Cass.

...Cass gave me some pointers awhile back too.
[ Still, she gives them a careful look. Peregrine's pretty good at telling how long an injury's been there, so. She's telling the truth, these look a few days old, not recent? ]

[She's not against the idea, she's just... tired. Cass starts to shrug off her flannel shirt, showing the very obvious blood stains on the sleeves.]
I was inspecting Eurydice... There was a lot of blood.
[Underneath that, there's a few scars here and there. Notes of a rough and tumble life, but besides that? She's uninjured.]
no subject
Peregrine goes still while looking at Cassandra. She pales.
Stay clear. ]
Y- you're good. You're good.
no subject
Sorry. I probably should have changed.

It's been a lot alright. Way more than usual. [A frown.] The Wizard's probably eating this up.
no subject
Almost like she was in a car that ran into a tree. And her legs are pretty bruised, almost like... someone's been chasing goats again.
...But nothing too unusual.]

F- FARRAH, Jesus Christ, don't you fucking do that!!!
[ This has been a fucking day and a half already. ]
