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.

[ Yeah, she didn't think as much. She wasn't paying much attention but she was pretty sure Janis was still in bed when she stumbled out.

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. ]

[ Janis looks at her hands, then quietly raises one up and kisses it. ]

You're good.

[ It's one of the more sincere-sounding statements she's made here. ]

[ Peregrine drops her eyes. A rather hollow smile rises to her lips, but it's a smile all the same. ]

You too.
