Third Trial

[stagemanagers]

[Once again, the sound of opening doors echoes through the opera house as the investigation draws to a close.

Time for your third trial.

The courtroom looks the same as ever, save that Darla and Eliza's podiums are now arranged in the same funerary fashion as the other deceased cast members. The lights from the bulbs standing in their places seem to cast the rest of the house even more in shadow, even as the crystal chandeliers still glitter dimly above. The Balladeer is hidden backstage once more, somewhere behind the red curtain drawn shut across the stage. Once everyone's taken their places, he speaks up.]

Alright. Let's do this.

[!!!!]

Oh no... If I'd known, I would have asked you... if it would have been okay with Natalie to have a third with us.

[onthebusagain]

It's okay. I'm not used to being alone, but I'm not dead.

[Okay Anna doesn't care if you're not comfortable or not, she's going to come to you and give you a hug, Heather.]

I don't mind adding you into our buddy system! Three is better than two, right?

[onthebusagain]

[Oh no, Anna's too nice. She feels a little guilty for calling her home schooled now. She lets her hug her, though. ]

That would be nice.

[sunshineprincess]

[She's forgiven you already for that.]

Oh! That means we have another person for a sleepover!
