[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.

They did? But I thought we were dealing with someone- someone who could- [ ...eeeeek- ] do...all that? Why wouldn't they be able to move her?

We thought about who might be too weak to move the body, but maybe someone who would've been unable to after the curse was lifted?

[OH, OH, SEE, THIS IS MATCHING UP WITH THE THINK HE'S THINKING UP IN THE CLOTHES CHECK]

Say, if they were to suddenly, uh. Shrink?

[Great minds, Prince Kit.]

Precisely.

[ ...OH. OH, THIS IS WHERE HE- ]

But...he's a toy!

Which is why he couldn't move her once she was gone.

O- oh...!

That's a...pretty wild accusation.

Killer dolls.

Yes, but I thought- he seemed a lot more... Less like one of those than I've seen.

At the very least he's... a doll that doesn't understand... how bones work....

[that's. A sentence.]

...is this SERIOUSLY a thing that happens on Earth?

Chucky!

He wasn't yesterday.

[OH......]

That... I cant believe it!

Is there anyone that'd actually apply to?

...I recall our Sheriff being considerably taller when I took register the other day.

[...Is Arrow's roll call actually going to be relevant here.]

[Rocket is not sure how to feel about that.]

The little robo-toy thing?

[Also what's a sheriff.]
