FOURTH TRIAL

[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.]

I love plenty of color, thanks. [Just because he's a little monochrome doesn't mean his entire world is black and white.]

I just think it's interesting that you're wearing that now, is there a special occasion?

Oh, Oswald.

[ Poor baby. ]

One doesn't need an occasion to treat themselves to a little glamour.

Especially not here.

Yeah?

[He squints.]

Does that include a little magic too?

[ She sneers. ]

Does an improbable rabbit pull off his limbs given any excuse?

[He glares.]

Does a sea witch give any excuse to murder someone with magic?

[ She snorts. ]

You never gave me any of the answers I asked you for, Inkwald.

Allow me to extend the same lack of courtesy!
forgottenfounder: (You and me!)

...You want answers? Fine! I know who you are, and I know what you do!

[Ahaaaaaa Oswald's losing his temper again. Time to hop up on this table and point.]

That necklace is magical isn't it!

[STEALTH CHECK dropping off the table. JUST GONNA SEE IF HE CAN GET TO URSULA'S WHILE OSWALD DISTRACTS HER]
