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.

[His answer is quick; all of this anger must be directed somewhere productive, and slamming the button sure helps clear his mind. It won't undo everything, Maya's attempt to fight the Wizard may not be successful, but he damn hopes that those three lives weren't lost for no good reason.]

Maya? If you die, I want you to give a message to Elle.

Anything.

[Something she should have heard if she were caught eating nightshade on the rooftop. Crying, wondering if "they" will hate her.]

Tell her that I love her. That will lover her until my heart turns to ice. That she is more beautiful and brilliant than what people thing of her. That she does not need a stupid school to determine her worth.

I will be back for her. And...I want her to know that it wasn't the fact that she was studying law that I fell in love with.

[Of course. Somehow, this feels worse, in the face of what Peregrine has said. Not that she doesn't deserve it, of course, but --]

I will pass it on. I promise.
