Second Trial

[rech]

[Once everyone makes it the portrait gallery again, they will hear Randall's voice echo through the room.]

I'm not sure what everyone expected. There are a lot of children here and given the situation it was only a matter of time they started dying.

[Charming.

The floor descends once again as Randall begins his speech.]

Our tour begins here in this gallery where you gaze upon the sweet innocence of youth. Ah, but things are not always as they seem. 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 my way.

[The floor stops again and doors open to the trial room.

At least the trial room doesn't look terribly different, although there are strange burn marks in the summoning circle now. And now, along with Mim, now Woody and Noby's podium has a lit candle and a voodoo doll resembling them (which is perhaps a little redundant in Woody's case).

Randall is already standing within the summoning circle, holding his stick with Facilier's head on it.]

Now then, I hope everyone has fun today.

Comments

[hasit]

You have a distorted idea of 'fun'.

[Leia stands at her podium, heavy-hearted, and looks around the circle as everyone shuffles in.]

One of the people in this room murdered a child. If you have any decency whatsoever, you'll give yourself up now and make this less painful for the rest of us.

[bestchefinparis]

Whoever killed that kid won't just step forward.

[They shouldn't have killed that kid in the first place and surely they know it]

[sharpasanarrow]

He had a name, sir.

[Disrespectful.]

[hasit]

I know, Remy. But I'm not going to miss a chance to make them feel as low as possible until we figure out who it is.

[bestchefinparis]

...I agree...

[Rémy looks down]

I don't know why someone would even want to kill Noby. He didn't deserve any of this.

[The game and everything, he means]

[hasit]

He didn't. None of us do. Noby was a good kid. We're going to do our best to make sure his killer is found.

[pinkflip]

Of course he didn't. He- he was just a kid.

[ Kim's having a hard time keeping her emotions in check this week, that's for sure. ]

Whoever did this is disgusting.

[tanukey]

Bein' a kid doesn't automatically mean not being terrible or something.

[Let him tell you about Groot.]

Noby was pretty milktoast, though. You'd have to be pretty cold to target him.


...anyone know what the duck was doin' last night?

[pinkflip]

Doesn't matter if you're a bit of a brat, no one that young deserves- [ she breaks off. her heart's not in that kind of arguing today, and she rubs at her eyes...

...and shoots Negaduck a glare. That's a great question, honestly. ]

[tanukey]

[It's sort of cute how you think he means just brattiness. Only not cute and more sad than anything.]

I mean no one deserves this crap specifically. An' the kid really shouldn't have been here.

[faciliheir]

Why would anyone give themselves up? They've already gone and killed a kid to get out of here; what do they care about anybody's feelings?

[rech]

A valid assessment.

[faciliheir]

Don't talk to me, Randy!

[Doreen is clawing at her podium, scratching the wood slightly erratically. Desperately trying to keep her features controlled.]

...If you do confess now, whoever you are, I'll just break your arm.
