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.

She was one of the ones with a physical curse, right?

[Forgive him, he spent a lot of the week not looking at people too closely. Because they were on fire.]

Would that explain why she didn't fight back with magic?

Her curse also gave her a terrible back.

[He can still hear it cracking.]

Do you remember what else? Like, was she weaker maybe?

[Louis peers above his podium.]

I knocked her over with my tail, once. She had a hard time gettin' up again.

[After a pause:]

It was an accident. I swear.

She was making potions at some point--she at least retained some magic...?

[ Yes? No? Any magic-user, pls confirm/deny. ]

Or she was lookin to con anyone dumb enough to drink it.

[He's not a magic user but he knows snake oil when he smells it]

It could have been both. She didn't take her magic--or anything else that I observed--very seriously.

If they actually affected people-- and they did-- she still had her magic. I think the curse just stopped her transformation powers from working, not her magic entirely.

It stopped the wand I have from being able to turn me back. I think we can probably assume any magic that would have undone the curses was blocked, somehow.

[You know. To force their hands.

Also it's kind of good to know it wasn't just because he's shit at using magic for no reason.]
faciliheir: (it reminds me of you)

[stiffly] And it had to be real powerful, too, to block the Fairy Godmother's wand. No exceptions.
