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!

The Great Murder Ride would hardly be as effective if you remembered that you were here to virtually murder one another.

Why would anyone sign up to put themselves in something like this? We have tickets for the park, you say, but for this ride? This specific ride?
billbillbill: (012)

[personal profile] billbillbill 2017-12-10 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
...Part of this test is that the participants haven't exactly been informed of the ride's true nature.

Typically, I just erase their memories at the end of it.
greekrevival: (when everyone expects so much)

[ WOW. ]

If you're gonna wipe my mind, lemme give you my review now, then:

This. Place. Sucks. Your ride relies on tricking and coercing people into morally dubious and potentially mentally scarring activities. Not the point of a theme park, I'd say.

I won't stand for you doing it to more people.

I'll make sure to note that down in my suggestion box:

The trash can.
greekrevival: (they said‚ "oh‚ hey there girl‚")

[personal profile] greekrevival 2017-12-10 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
What are you even testing this for, if our feedback doesn't matter? Who is this ride for?
billbillbill: (005)

[personal profile] billbillbill 2017-12-10 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
Once I sell Walt on it, this is sure to be EPCOT's Biggest Thrill Ride.

I just need a stable prototype first.
greekrevival: (and you wish that you were stronger)

From what I know about Disney? It's supposed to be fun and heartwarming. Not this. He'll never agree.

Have you seen that alien ride he allowed me to place in Tomorrowland? Times are changing. People want edge now.
greekrevival: (you want a quest‚ they tell you tough)

[personal profile] greekrevival 2017-12-10 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
There's a difference between a thrill ride and thinking you - and maybe people you care about - are stuck in some...sick murder game. Even if he does agree to it, the public'll hate it. It'll be your failure.
billbillbill: (007)

[personal profile] billbillbill 2017-12-10 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
I never fail, my dear.
greekrevival: (🦉 bring on any challenge)

[personal profile] greekrevival 2017-12-10 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds to me with all your little errors like you already have been. Or is your failure Classified now?
billbillbill: (006)

[personal profile] billbillbill 2017-12-10 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
Hilarious. I get it. You intend to throw my words back at me as though it will make a difference.
greekrevival: from a fight (always been the one not to run)

[personal profile] greekrevival 2017-12-10 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
I intend to say you slipped up. You keep slipping up. That's why you don't want your boss to know. This isn't safe. It will never be safe. And when something goes wrong, you'll be blamed for it.
billbillbill: (Default)

[personal profile] billbillbill 2017-12-10 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
Your concern has been noted.
greekrevival: (my girl's ready to take control)

[personal profile] greekrevival 2017-12-10 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Has it? Has it really? Or are you just going to dismiss it like everything else?
billbillbill: (Default)

[personal profile] billbillbill 2017-12-10 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

[...to which?]
greekrevival: (when everyone expects so much)

[personal profile] greekrevival 2017-12-10 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...WHAT A MALÁKAS, GENUINELY. ]

Do you really think he won't see through your dangerous prototype?
billbillbill: (012)

[personal profile] billbillbill 2017-12-10 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps he will. Perhaps he won't.
greekrevival: (🦉 bring on any challenge)

[personal profile] greekrevival 2017-12-10 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
And what'll he do, if he does? Humor me.
billbillbill: (003)

[personal profile] billbillbill 2017-12-10 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Tell me to terminate the project. Work out the kinks. Walt is a forgiving man, he certainly wouldn't hurt any of the EPCOT denizens without reason.
greekrevival: (my grand plan‚ just you wait and see)

[personal profile] greekrevival 2017-12-10 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
Even if it's hurt people? You won't be expected to take responsibility? I think that sounds like reason.
billbillbill: (007)

[personal profile] billbillbill 2017-12-10 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
It hasn't hurt anyone here. You're so intent on condemning me over a harmless game of Pretend.
greekrevival: (you put it on and no one can see you)

[personal profile] greekrevival 2017-12-10 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, first of all? Not harmless. Being put in things like this can actually be harmful to people's mental states. Surprise!

And anyway, what about past tests? You're the one who said...or, didn't say just what's happened. "Classified," after all. If nothing had happened, you would've just told me so.
