MOCK TRIAL

"Alright, mooks, everybody make youse way down to the trial room, pronto!"

[There's certainly no trial room on the map. No trial soundstage, no trial room, where oh where could they be talking about. You might spend a long time looking for it, or only be thinking about it for a single second before it comes over you.

Whenever you close your ears, or even blink, you find yourself there.

The room is a cartoony laboratory, filled to the brims with scientific equipment and beakers beyond wondrous, almost impossible to imagine being utilized in any sort of actual scientific context. A large monitor is mounted on the ceiling, playing a single clip on repeat along with the words "IMAGINEER THINK TANK". There is a large stage underneath that television, which your two hosts take their places at quite readily.

A circle of metal podiums is set up on the ground floor, 26 in total. Each is marked with a name and a photograph of the individual who's supposed to take their place there, as well as a keyboard for inputting...something. The 26th podium is marked with a grayscale photograph of Gwenpool.

Your fellow participants appear in the room one-by-one, seeming to "digitize" out of nowhere. Once everyone has appeared in the room and taken their place, the air around them seems to go deathly still.

Mugsi holds a cigar between her lips, lighting it from a stick of dynamite lit by Kate. With Mugsi taking a deep inhale, Kate speaks, the dynamite somehow fizzling out.]


Each of you has a place you oughta be sitting, and your job is to solve the mystery that's been put before ya. Once you think you know who did it, input their name on the keyboard in front of you. Majority rules, participation is mandatory, and if ya vote wrong you're not gonna see the light of day ever again!

So, get on with it!

[. . . You know what, he'll take Wikipedia.]

Does it say anything about him being a murderer?

...Oh dear.

He appears to have sustained a leg injury on Dancing with the Stars. Hopefully, he has healed quickly.
yayashton: Ryan looking surprised. (ryan: say whaaaaaaat.)

And he's not some kind of teleportation expert or anything, right? Actually, is he even a real scientist?

[Shouldn't he be doing science stuff if he's a scientist, not hosting a TV show??]
stepfordsynthezoid: (That was the story she told)

[how dare you]

He graduated with a Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering in 1977 and, while I have not personally downloaded the episodes of his television show, the information appears accurate.
thevondrakehour: (what the fuck did you say)

So he's a fake!

[FAKE SCIENTIST ALERT!!!]
stepfordsynthezoid: (And one part of the story was true)

...The information he presents appears to be accurate.

[Quieter this time.]
yayashton: Ryan, motioning his finger near his ear. (ryan: i'm listening!)

[personal profile] yayashton 2017-12-09 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
No, he's a "science guy." It's not fake if you don't claim you are something. He probably has a team of scientists helping him present information accurately to children - it's his job to keep them engaged, not to be an expert in science.

[Ryan actually thinks that's very noble. He might not like reality tv, but educational content is very important and it's rare that it's good.]
