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, Mr.Arrow doesn't like this one bit. Begrudgingly, he makes his way to his assigned spot, feeling a chill run through his foam body at the sight of the layout.]

This is all very elaborate for a prank. I must applaud that much.

[The place they find themselves isn't unlike some of the places Leia has seen in her life: junk shops. Places for scrappers to come and sell their wares. This one is just a little...creepier.

She finds the podium with her room number on it and goes over to stand at it, clearing her throat. She might not be the leader here, but she's still a leader, and they have their work cut out for them.]


Regardless of who Madam Mim was, or what she might have done in the past two weeks, we find ourselves with the responsibility of solving her death. Let any of us who have evidence step forward, and if anyone has a confession they'd like to make, I urge you to do so.

[Ariel's knees are shaking after what just happened. She wants to stand with Mabel or Freddie, but she also fears what will happen if she moves. Unfortunately the only thing she has to offer was finding the body but... everyone is aware of that now.]

[Maaan this place is creepy. The stretching room is creepy, but the voodoo lounge is worse, and Neku's especially eying that head at the back.]

So what happens when we figure out who it is?
sharpasanarrow: (mark my fucking words)

[personal profile] sharpasanarrow 2018-01-20 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't have any reason to give any consideration to what you say.

[This is a place Rémy doesn't want to be at for more time than necessary. He's not going to rush anything, though]

Okay, I'm not Basil so I don't know much about being a detective, but I did find a few things in the dining room. Like broken plates, and a case for casino chips. There was also a lot of chips. Everything had some blood on it.

So that means Mim was hit with some of that, maybe the case, because it looked pretty heavy. Some of the plate shards had no blood, while others did have, so I guess that wasn't what hit her.

[ Basil's looked somewhat frazzled since he finally stumbled out of his room--at the demand to gather in the portrait room--but at least he seems to have woken up on the ride down.

After clambering up his podium:
] By the by, what happens to the others if someone does succeed in "getting away with it"? I've meant to ask for a while, but you're with us so rarely.

Casino chips? Oh, um... I looked in the casino?

[ This feels weird. Talking about this. She keeps glancing at the Mim voodoo doll, shivering. ]

Someone knocked over a table and some chairs- two chairs. They were, um, close to the west side of the room. There wasn't any...blood or anything on them, but it looks like something bad happened there.

[Hey so guess who's been having a really bad week. Being a monster sucked, but that's nothing next to this. See, Kit's from a fairytale. He's from goddamn Cinderella 3 A Twist In Time. He learned how to fence and all but the most serious duel he's ever been in is a playful bout against his own father. He's never been in a battle or gone to war or even really been up-close with death at all in his life, except for the sort of nebulously far-off concept of his mother's passing. So this is... this is not great? And he feels as though as a Prince he should probably be doing more and being a, a pillar of something or other, but he's come to realize in the past two weeks that he's woefully behind everyone else when it comes to knowing anything about anything.

So he just sort of takes his spot at his podium, looking like a kicked puppydog.]


I really hadn't thought anyone would do it.

Eh, she looked pretty dead.

[It would be great if she had a place to write some of this down, but...]

Noted. If the plates were broken, but not bloody...could it be she was flinging them at her attacker?

[Mr.Arrow clears his throat, he has an important contribution and everyone needs to listen.]

I discovered the disembodied arm of one of the wax sculptures by the Witch's body. There were handprints and beard hairs found on it, as well as blood. There was a short trail of blood a couple of inches from her, like she had been moved but not very far.

If she wanted to be more convincing, she could've picked something a bit more intense than bludgeoning. Like someone could believe that would take her down.

But the curses were gone after she... um...

[Yeah.]

...I think that means it was real.

[personal profile] bestchefinparis 2018-01-20 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I think that's possible. Whatever happened in the dining room didn't end in her death, though, there wasn't enough blood for that.

[And some was moving to the foyer, so...maybe she died there?]

You sure do think weirdly highly of her. [ARROW AND MIM SITTIN IN A TREE]

[Jane was already petty shaken by the dead body, but she's never seen anything like this. And hey she was already trying to stick close to Kim, and seeing as Freddie's over by her girl taking her podium's probably fine.

Probably.

We... we actually have to do this ourselves?

Oh!

[Guess who has a couple playing cards and casino chips delicately placed on his podium? This guy.]

Yeah, the casino was pretty messy, and...I think someone might've been playing a game at that table. Not sure what, though.

...her head was bashed in. Pretty badly. There were chunks of stuff left around the wound.

Stuff besides, you know, her. There was a lotta that, too.

Beard hairs? What color were they? And how long?
