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.

Those are the best. But they need to make more with all the clothes they make for normal barbies!! There's tons of stuff they have that I wanna wear!

[He crouches down to her level and pulls her into a hug.]

You don't gotta do nothin. I'll take care of it, alright?
pinkflip: sing it right back (just sing it loud‚ until the kids will)

[personal profile] pinkflip 2018-01-20 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Look, I'm not letting you get hurt. That's just not happening.

[ Her voice is soft, but firm. ]

While we're here, I'll protect you.

Thanks!!

.....you're making us write this in blood?

[What the fuck is wrong with you and also everyone else actually writing this in blood.]
doopdoll: (what?!)

[personal profile] doopdoll 2018-01-20 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
No! I'm super tough! I can do it---

.... but will you poke me with the needle? You're gonna have to do it, really hard, or my powers will try and stop it.

[She's staring at the needle with a look of discomfort on her face.]

Do we...REALLY have to use that? Can't we just use a pen, or something?

[Though, she already knows the answer and she doesn't want to have to deal with it. She pricks her finger with the needle.

This is uncivilized, and I shouldn't have to say this, but it's unsanitary.

[Leia's face is stony as she pricks her finger and writes:]

Woody.

[ CHILD.... but if Jyn objects at all, she doesn't say anything. ]

Right. Okay, deep breath, alright? Then I'll do it.
doopdoll: (concern)

[personal profile] doopdoll 2018-01-20 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[JUST STAB A CHILD, JYN. DO IT.


Molly closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, holding out her arm and giving a firm nod.]

[Well. People are helping people. He can help the nice kid who taught him about pizza.]

I can do it for you if you'd like.

[There's something deeply wrong about this, all of this. And the fact that Kim is being so brave and helpful in the face of it...]

...Okay. [She's quiet, like she almost doesn't want Kim to hear.

But she'll accept her help in the end, and spell out Woody's name on her podium with Kim's blood.

[Yeahh.. Marco had the needle in his hand and was staring at his arm like he was Considering it but that's. That's not gonna happen.]

I-if you're okay with it.
pinkflip: (it didn't slow me down)

[personal profile] pinkflip 2018-01-20 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ With this, Kim breathes deep and pricks her finger, wincing lightly. It's fine, she's had worse injuries just practicing for the games.

...Mostly fine. Probably. ]

Well my finger's already bleeding, so.

[Hhaha. It's joke. Not a good one but like, let him be, he is trying.

He walks a few podiums over.]


Just -- you were going to vote for Woody too, right.

[He wants to write the right thing. He's voting for Marco but he's not voting for Marco.]

[She hugs him back super tight, clutching hard at the back of his shirt.]

... okay. Sorry I couldn't do it...
nachosquire: (ruh roh)

[personal profile] nachosquire 2018-01-20 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Yyyeah. I don't really want to find out what'd happen if I voted wrong.

[He nods.]

Me neither. Nobody else should get hurt today.

[He writes down Woody on the paper in that very nice script. How does he write that well with a bloody finger? Prince magic.]

[personal profile] stanbyme 2018-01-20 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[He squeezes her.]

I wouldn't've let you even if you'd jumped for the needle.

[And then he stands up, still holding her on his hip with one arm, and one-handedly re-pricks his middle finger to write "Woody" on her parchment as well.]

Just...Keep your face hidden, you don't gotta watch.
