FOURTH TRIAL

[beautifultomorrow]

[The usual scene plays of everyone going into the elevator after they finish up investigation. But when the elevator starts moving, they will hear John’s voice instead of The Narrator’s. It clearly sounds like he’s reading from some sort of script.]

Picture of Belle, a book lover born well before her time. She desperately wanted society to treat her like a human being, and to respect her love of books. Belle had made many friends and many enemies because of her personality, and now… Her final resting place will be in a book simply titled… The Twilight Zone.

[... Strangely, however, the elevator doesn’t drop this time, the doors instead open as soon as John finishes his speech, leading once again to The Tip Top Club. Now Reyna and Belle’s pictures are in grayscale and, instead of Rod sitting on stage, John is there, looking at some papers. He offers the guests a comforting smile when they enter.]

I shouldn’t complain that Rod’s doing something creative with his time, but I have to admit, I don’t get what he sees appealing about writing something like this. Don’t know why he had the elevator set to “ride” mode either.

I, uh...made some old fashioned lemonade for you guys. [He motions to the lemonade pitcher and cups on the counter.] Feel free to help yourself.

[He’s… really trying to attempt to lighten the mood of this situation. Please humor him.]

You don’t fall in love with someone in a matter of weeks.

[kylo.....]

[hallotween]

Of course you can! Haven't you ever heard of love at first sight? It happens literally all the time! And it happened to you, you big lug!

[anasty]

It isn't always love that a man has for a woman, dear.

[ For once she might just leave it at that. ]

[hallotween]

[ROLLS EYES]

Why does it always have to be some kind of... weird sex thing with you guys! Can't it just be nice and romantic for once?

[anasty]

[ She snorts into her glass. ]

[lusito]

[actually kind of choking back here trying not to laugh]

Why not both? People can be sweet and romantic and have an interesting sex life, you know.

[hallotween]

You guys are all so gross.

[lusito]

Don't look at me like that, I was merely stating a fact. It's not like I started listing examples of how a person might spice things up in the bedroom here.

[Josh no]

[nocasetoobig]

Can we please move on. The only way any of this is relevant is if we smell them on each other.

[hallotween]

Are you volunteering.

[nocasetoobig]

I didn't smell her body. I couldn't. [He knows what she smells like, but...yeah.]

[stenchus_rodentus]

Not in a Christian society you don't.

[lusito]

In a good one, maybe. And even then, there's always at least one person that's repressing something.

[stenchus_rodentus]

No need to preach to those who wait at the gates of hell~

Believe me, even the rodents here are refreshingly libertine.
