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!

...If you didn't intend to hurt her, then why lure her out--while contemplating how very much you wanted what had been offered?

Everyone was looking for a way out, and I believed someone would. Someone would release us from this hell and take us back home..
But the closer we got to the end of the week, the more I wanted out.

You took their bait.

And how, exactly, does that dovetail with your intent to not harm her?

I offered Gwen to accompany me to the Restaurant for--..for company. I confessed to her that I was homesick, that I couldn't get in contact with Donald at all, that I was worried about the state of my money. She listened, while also mentioning someone had to die.

Someone indeed had to die.

And something in me snapped. and.. well. I chased the poor girl up to the Sci-fi room.

It is very reassuring to hear your homicidal tendencies are kept so firmly in check.

Everyone wanted out, Mr. McDuck, and we were all at risk of losing those we cared about. I hope you don't mean to attempt to justify what you've done.
