FIFTH TRIAL

[beautifultomorrow]

[As always, the elevator makes it’s journey once again to the club, and John’s voice can once again be heard.]

Cornelia Hale, she…

[But he trails off, soon interrupted by that same distorted voice.]

[At that, the elevator doors open once again to the Tip Top Club. With Ursula, Kylo Ren, and Cornelia’s photo’s now in grayscale, the room is starting to look a lot bigger now that so few people are still alive. John is still here, but he is very noticeably sitting further away from the tables sitting in front of the stage. He smiles when the guests enter, but it seems a little off. It’s hard to tell if all the death of innocent people is wearing on him or if he is just genuinely afraid of you guys.]

Feel free to take as much time as you want. I'll be right here if you have any questions.

At the beginning? Not a lot. I only told him what we were all up to during the week, or if anyone was trying to escape.

After a while, I didn't tell him anything, because that didn't matter.

[hallotween]

... Why?

[forgottenfounder]

Because we both wanted one thing.

To help everyone escape.

[nocasetoobig]

[let's just jump over here and-]

-wait, how does that not matter anymore!?

[forgottenfounder]

The information gathering business doesn't matter anymore! We still want everyone to get out of here!

[nocasetoobig]

But- why didn't you tell us, then!?

[forgottenfounder]

...You don't know who's listening, Chip.

[nocasetoobig]

Do you?

[forgottenfounder]

...No. But I have a theory or two.

Anyway, I wasn't a part of any of this. I'm just as lost on who the culprit is.

[nocasetoobig]

[


he's not sure what to think. he's- relieved, but at the same time, angry.

he'll deal with this later.]

[forgottenfounder]

[Yeah, that's fine.

That's cool.]

[hallotween]

So, you both started working on that... And whoever is really in charge here got mad. And wrote that note!

[forgottenfounder]

Seems like it! I know Rod wouldn't write a note telling everyone that I'm a mole.

[hallotween]

I mean, I'd hope he's not a complete moron.

[forgottenfounder]

He's really not. He's... kind of like me, in a way.
