first trial

[Once you make your way to the portrait gallery, Facilier's snarky voice chimes in as per usual.]

One of you folks actually went and did it. Not surprised: they always do. Besides, if you were gonna kill someone, the grandma ain't a bad start. Figure it this way: how many of you actually liked her?

[Suddenly, the whole room seems to move downwards. The walls get longer, and the ceiling grows further away from you. The portraits themselves seem to extend, as the room moves downwards at a startling pace.]

Things are not always as they seem, gentlemen. Can it be this room is actually stretching? And notice this: this chamber has no windows and no doors, which offers you this chilling challenge… to find a way out. Of course, there’s always our way.

[Suddenly, the floor stops. A new door opens at the side of the room.

Inside is what appears to be an old voodoo shop, covered in various artifacts and an unsettling large voodoo head at the back of the room. There is a summoning circle painted into the floor with a deep red paint. Each of you has a place within this circle, with a wooden podium marked with your room number waiting for you there. Podium 26 has a single candle lit aflame, as well as what appears to be a voodoo doll of Madame Mim stuck to the top of it.

Light music plays in the background.

Once you all take your place, Facilier himself appears within the middle of the circle, out of a cloud of smoke.]


You're here to figure out who did this. Once you have a hunch, you can feel free to write it down on the podium in front of you, but there are no takebacks. Majority rules, and your participation is mandatory.

'Course, you have all the time you need, if you want it.

...Well, see, now you're just dirty-minded.
pinkflip: it'll never be you and me‚ plant the seed (but if your shit is not together)

...Wow. That is way sad.
faciliheir: (high stakes)

[personal profile] faciliheir 2018-01-20 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I definitely know when to bow to a worthier opponent.

[Rat. Vermin.]

...I really don't care for you right now. Like less than the duck, and that's saying something.
athleticallyinclined: (did you honestly think she'd want you)

[ Chalk up one more victory for Gaston. ]

The man's a hunter and can't even differentiate between different species. He's likely just mimicking sounds that have been used around him often.

Uh, well, first off, awesome metaphor use. Big fan of that.

Second, we already had a witch hunt? And now a witch is dead. Which we're trying to solve. So I think this is really more of an anti-witch hunt.
athleticallyinclined: (it's outrageously attractive isn't it)

[ Look he didn't say anything about weird badger things. ]

There's a duck?

Our culprit would have had to be strong enough to bludgeon her under the curse's influence, but too weak to move the body after it had been lifted.

Is there anyone else that this would apply to?

[personal profile] soplaynice 2018-01-20 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, fine. Bad metaphor. But you get the idea.

[personal profile] soplaynice 2018-01-20 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I'm not! I want to defend myself the same as anyone else!

If you don't remove it I'm going to have to grab you and do it myself.

[And it'll be very rude but not difficult. Woody's fuckin tiny.]

I thought toys were supposed to be kid-friendly.

We are!

[personal profile] soplaynice 2018-01-20 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe she tried to move herself?
not_over_yet: (probably wants something)

[ That's fine, he can pretend to ignore you too. You think he isn't well-versed in such childishly petty approaches? ]

[personal profile] bayoublues 2018-01-20 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
This is a matter of life and death--w-we need to make sure.

Do...do you want me to threaten to bite him.

Really, you aren't going to make the murderous duck strip, but the inches-tall cowboy doll? Yeah, he's who we're going to lay our accusations on.

But wasn't her leg at an odd angle? Like someone else was pulling on it?
faciliheir: (by the book)

[personal profile] faciliheir 2018-01-20 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
He didn't kill a kid.
upgradeit: (paste it)

[personal profile] upgradeit 2018-01-20 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think the blood trails match up to that.

[personal profile] holdthetrumpet 2018-01-20 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
We have to be thorough! I don't like it but it's just good sense.
holdthetrumpet: (3)

[personal profile] holdthetrumpet 2018-01-20 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
That... shouldn't be necessary. But if you could help me grab him--?

Murder's not kid-friendly.
