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.

No, I'm not! I want to defend myself the same as anyone else!

I thought toys were supposed to be kid-friendly.

Murder's not kid-friendly.
faciliheir: (by the book)

[personal profile] faciliheir 2018-01-20 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
He didn't kill a kid.
stanbyme: (pic#11876958)

[personal profile] stanbyme 2018-01-20 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
No, but he was willing to let a whole bunch of 'em die.
faciliheir: (I can change it 'round some too)

[personal profile] faciliheir 2018-01-20 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
True. But, he probably cares more about whatever kid owns him than just some random ones.
kickbuttseatnuts: (Kicking bad guys' evil butts)

[personal profile] kickbuttseatnuts 2018-01-20 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Did we even know about that part? Not to lend support to suspected criminals but...
faciliheir: (and crooks in our necks)

[personal profile] faciliheir 2018-01-20 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
He follows all those dumb rules for somebody, doesn't he? The kid who makes him feel alive. Why else would he kill?
kickbuttseatnuts: (You'll find the Squirrel Girl!)

[personal profile] kickbuttseatnuts 2018-01-20 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
First of all, dang girl that's some psychological motivizing right there, up top. [and she just high fives the air in Freddie's direction]

Second, what about the all "rock falls everyone dies" voting gobble gook? I'm just saying, he couldn't know about that earlier. Which is at least something?
faciliheir: (us and our shadows)

[personal profile] faciliheir 2018-01-20 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
It does make him seem less like a child-murdering jerk that way. Guess that works out.
upgradeit: (point it)

[personal profile] upgradeit 2018-01-20 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
If you think about it, she probably would have murdered one of us so that's kid-friendly.
stanbyme: (pic#11876995)

[personal profile] stanbyme 2018-01-20 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think we should be givin' out altruism points when our necks are on the line, kid.
upgradeit: (load it)

[personal profile] upgradeit 2018-01-20 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
. . . Point. We should probably just vote for the toy.
kickbuttseatnuts: (Where there's a city crime-torn)

[personal profile] kickbuttseatnuts 2018-01-20 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
.....Kid, we gotta have a conversation at some point about you and murder.
upgradeit: (they say we are what we are)

[personal profile] upgradeit 2018-01-20 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
. . . I'd never actually commit murder.

[That's a lie.]
kickbuttseatnuts: (That'd be mega embarrassing)

[personal profile] kickbuttseatnuts 2018-01-20 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, I didn't mean to imply that, but that pause is actually kind of alarming???
upgradeit: (i can feel his approach)

[personal profile] upgradeit 2018-01-20 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Listen, if that curse had kept going? He probably would have caved.]

I had to think about whether or not the robots counted.
kickbuttseatnuts: (oh I ended the song too early)

[personal profile] kickbuttseatnuts 2018-01-20 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
oh my gosh Please don't kill robots. Rising up and attacking people happens for a reason.
upgradeit: (paste it)

[personal profile] upgradeit 2018-01-20 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
In our defense, they attacked us first.
upgradeit: (charge it)

[personal profile] upgradeit 2018-01-20 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[. . . if it helps, he definitely realized it was a stupid thing to say after he said it?]
lostbutnotaboy: (Real?)

[personal profile] lostbutnotaboy 2018-01-20 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[Resisting urge to smack him...]

That's the point you want to try and make?
upgradeit: (somewhere just beyond my reach)

[personal profile] upgradeit 2018-01-20 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry . . .

[He needs to learn the fine skill of thinking before he speaks.]
lostbutnotaboy: (Default)

[personal profile] lostbutnotaboy 2018-01-20 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Why are boys always like this...]

In any case... we should keep focusing on this.
