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!

I agree, sitting here trapped and playing along isn't what any of us want...but I'm someone who's seen combat. I don't want to force any of the more...peaceful ones into this. [ She glances towards Minnie, Cinderella, those like that. ]

I've an idea. If it doesn't work they'll only shoot me ...which would, incidentally, likely distract them enough to give the combatants among us an opening... and we can avoid endangering the ordinary folk here.

[ Cue mouse!Shouting. ]

You are a smaller target, but--

[ WELL, OKAY THEN, LET'S JUST. GO WITH THIS. ]

I don't want to force them either, but I don't want to watch them endure this for however long it takes. We could be here for months.

Unless you think we should endure this, see how it works and wait for a more opportune moment to rise up.

...For their sakes, I'd push it. But Virginia trying to fight them our first day didn't lay a scratch, so...if we can do this a little less charge-y.

[ Not very clever-sounding, but she's thinking. There was something Kate and Mugsi said earlier that's sticking with her. ]
