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!
dothelokimotion: (Light may be terrible)

Then perhaps I can assist?

[ Loki conjures up the illusion of shower curtains. ]

We can keep roving eyes to a minimum and still satisfy the needs of evidence.

[...

He sure as hell can't get out of this one. Might as well.. give the people what they want.

Scrooge sighs behind the fake curtains, and gingerly rids himself of his coat before handing it to Annabeth to examine. She will notice the cuff of his left sleeve is torn and missing.]

[ ...Yeah, here it is. By now they've had the Bill nonsense so she just...sighs. Does the torn piece of fabric match?

She's gonna guess yeah. ]


greekrevival: (seemed appropriate)

[personal profile] greekrevival 2017-12-10 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
Do you want to explain how your coat got ripped, Mr. McDuck?
bayoublues: (uh oh)

[personal profile] bayoublues 2017-12-10 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
...

You...you gave me pancakes!

[He doesn't seem to know whether to be angry or upset. Probably both.]

I trusted you!
not_over_yet: (that is quite beside the point!)

[personal profile] not_over_yet 2017-12-10 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
...You automatically trust anyone willing to provide food.

[ More commentary than question, really. ]
bayoublues: (hey now)

[personal profile] bayoublues 2017-12-10 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Well, in my experience, people who willingly share and prepare food for others aren't murderers! I, I--

[By now his anger is winning over his shock.]
not_over_yet: (eugh no)

[personal profile] not_over_yet 2017-12-10 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
Poisoning food and drink is a very common method of murder.

[ Basil. ]

bayoublues: (oh yeah)

[personal profile] bayoublues 2017-12-10 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
...I'll keep that in mind for the future.
onthestrokeoftwelve: (Oh)

[personal profile] onthestrokeoftwelve 2017-12-10 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
Pancakes? Let's not forget about the pastries I found too.
dothelokimotion: (No one listens when I talk)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2017-12-10 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ Well. He hadn't seen that one coming. ]
dothelokimotion: (One arc to a finish)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2017-12-10 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ Loki huffs. ]

You're a little too pleased with the prospect.
worldsaway: (Default)

[personal profile] worldsaway 2017-12-10 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Not pleased, but I am relieved to move on.
dothelokimotion: (Knowledge may be terrible)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2017-12-10 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
How do we move on? We've found him. What happens now?
worldsaway: (pic#11868923)

[personal profile] worldsaway 2017-12-10 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
I assume they intervene, unless they expect we'll enact tribe justice.

..You know, that's probably the case.
dothelokimotion: (And drink to forget)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2017-12-10 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ He sighs. ]

I can make it quick.
worldsaway: (Default)

[personal profile] worldsaway 2017-12-10 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
I was the one rallying for his death, I am not opposed to doing what needs to be done. But I don't want either of us to do it, only to find it was for nothing.
dothelokimotion: (How miraculous is that?)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2017-12-10 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ Loki looks back at Thor. ]

What do you suggest?
worldsaway: (Default)

[personal profile] worldsaway 2017-12-10 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
I know this is unusual for me, but I think we ought to wait a little longer.
dothelokimotion: (And drink to forget)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2017-12-10 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ His eyebrows climb up but Loki nods. It is wise to trust Thor's instincts on this. ]

Very well. I'm not keen on murdering a sentient talking duck, as it were.
worldsaway: (pic#11582776)

[personal profile] worldsaway 2017-12-10 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
Of course. And for all we know, we could be taking the same bait he took.
dothelokimotion: (This is the fear that looms)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2017-12-10 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
That is a reasonable assumption. We have found the culprit. Now we wait and see what our captors say.
