Final trial

[grimgrinningghosts]

[After everyone is done investigating/disabling an alien, they will hear a quiet click near the staircase. When they approach the staircase, they will find that there’s a whole new set of stairs, going even further down.

The stairs go deep down, and it takes while before there’s any end in sight, but eventually they reach door. Behind it is a large, completely gray room. If it weren’t for the massive table and strange podium sitting in the middle of the room, the guests would be instantly shocked by how empty it is otherwise. But the feeling of emptiness grows the longer they stay in the room.

The door closes behind them when they all enter the room. If they look, there is a similarly gray tv set sitting at the end of the table, right in front of the podium. Despite it’s age, there is a VHS player connected to it.

Well it sure is lucky you have a VHS tape on you, right?]

cw: suicide

[shallsmite]

[He plunges the sword into himself, without hesitation.

The fires start to die down around him.]

[nocasetoobig]

[.........WHELP]

[hallotween]

[ugh, she might be sick...

she just sorta. falls onto her knees a little.]

[keyofimagination]

...

Oh my god.

[He slowly lets go of John and stands up.]

He really did that?

[darnsitall]

[sneaks out from under the table.]

Is it over...?

[theduck]

Somehow I don’t think we’re that lucky.

[forgottenfounder]

Unless there's anything else anyone else wants to get off their chest....?

[coulombslaw]

Yeah, looks like it's over...

[Although not in a way Virgil would have liked. Someone died, after all]

We still need to find a way out.

[hallotween]

Yeah, that.

[beat]

Can I have the sword?

[lusito]

[WELL FUCK

...and then Joshua unceremoniously drops back to the floor appearing winded from the energy spent staying airborne]

Finally, I didn't think I was going to be able to keep that up any longer.

[nocasetoobig]

What was that, anyway?!

[hallotween]

It was cool. I don't think we need to know anything else.

[lusito]

[normally, Joshua would happily show off and exposit but... He is actually tired and needs to sit down]

I can explain in a moment, though first we should find out if it really did any good.

[yourghosthost]

...Well, he certainly looks dead.

[tadaishi]

Why don't you go check?

[yourghosthost]

You have experience with dead bodies!

[darnsitall]

[WILL YOU TWO JUST KISS ALREADY]

[tadaishi]

[He's just not going to respond to that.

But he will go check and see if he can get close enough to Frollo to see if he's actually dead.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Yeah, he's super dead.]

[keyofimagination]

Thank god, honestly.

...

You know, there's probably no one left in this hotel who could possibly know how to leave this hotel now.

[Fuck.]

[hallotween]

Well, how did you get in. [she says, hefting a gory sword over her shoulder like nbd]

[keyofimagination]

I didn't get in. I lived here and then I got stuck in the hotel when Walt shut down EPCOT.

All the exits that were there when EPCOT was around don't exist anymore.

[lusito]

Yes, though that might be a problem in itself.

[he was hoping to get an answer regarding escaping first but then... yeah that happened]

[tadaishi]

That was pretty cool, though.

[lusito]

Why thank you, I certainly try.
