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?]

...Rod.

Stop.

[darnsitall]

[Eeeeeeeeeeeee]

[keyofimagination]

I'm sorry, do you want me to grovel at your feet and beg for your forgiveness? Should I thank you for coming back after abandoning us for who knows how long?

[worldofcolor]

Don't put words in my mouth.

[keyofimagination]

I'm sorry, what do you want then? Do you want to give me a weak apology and then explain how you were completely justified?

[worldofcolor]

You asked for me.

[keyofimagination]

[Uuuuuugh.]

I did.

[worldofcolor]

You pleaded with me. Then you insulted me when I showed up.

I'm just...trying to get into your mindset here.

[keyofimagination]

I didn't plead.

I'm... just frustrated that you didn't come for me until I was the only resident of EPCOT left.

[worldofcolor]

Do you think I could do anything?

Last time I tried to help anyone here, you went to everyone and told them I was some kind of villain!

[keyofimagination]

I mean before that! Back before this game even started!

Damn it Walt I still don't know why you killed us! Why wouldn't I think you were some sort of villain at this point!

[worldofcolor]

Look, it's...hard to explain, okay?

I never claimed to be a good person, Rod. But I'm not a villain.

[keyofimagination]

[There is a long pause.]

... Did you really not care about me, then? Was our friendship a lie?

[darnsitall]

['friendship']

[worldofcolor]

I cared about you, Rod. I did.

[keyofimagination]

[When he speaks again he just sounds tired.]

... I'm sorry, I really have a hard time believing that anymore.

[worldofcolor]

...Do you want help, Rod.

[keyofimagination]

...Yes, you can go get the guests out of here now.

[forgottenfounder]

...Rod, come on. What about you?

[lusito]

You're coming too, aren't you?

[tadaishi]

You're not planning on staying behind, are you?

[worldofcolor]

You don't want to come.

[lusito]

Rod, as interesting as this relationship drama is, can it wait until after all of us are not in this godforsaken hotel anymore?

[it's been a long day and even we are starting to want a nap or just pass out]

[darnsitall]

[SHUSH]

[hallotween]

Seriously.
