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.

[..... like blood.]

Kim...?

[pinkflip]

[ Where's it located? The smell, she's just...looking Jane all over now. ]

J- Jane... You were in your room last night, weren't you?

[ It's about now that, well. People will probably notice she's taking awhile checking Jane. ]

[faciliheir]

... Oh man, did another kid do this? You guys are gonna be so conflicted!

[doopdoll]

There's no way! It was one of the grown ups.

[pinkflip]

Freddie, be quiet.

[ There's no fire in her, though. ]

[faciliheir]

"Whoever did this is disgusting."

Remember that?

[pinkflip]

Shut up, Freddie.

[faciliheir]

I'm just saying! Can't wait for everybody to fall over themselves looking for an excuse for this good kid doing a bad thing!

[nachosquire]

Freddie, stop.

[NOW ISNT THE TIME FOR THIS CANT YOU SEE SHES UPSET]

[faciliheir]

[yeah.

she can see.]

[lovelylilmouse]

Freddie.

[Minnies Fucking Pissed]

[doopdoll]

[HOLLY SHIT MINNIE MOUSE IS PISSED.]

[hasit]

[you're just getting a Bone-Chilling Glare from space mom.]

[faciliheir]

[it doesn't affect Freddie...]

Oh, don't act like you weren't getting all high and mighty too, old lady. Everybody here went all in on the judgement game at the start-- why aren't you all roaring for Noby's murderer's blood now? Whatever could've changed?

[rech]

They’re all hypocrites, you know that.

[Facilier’s Head-On-A-Stick rolls its’ eyes.]

[faciliheir]

I don't know where you keep getting the idea that you're allowed to speak, Randy, but it still continues to not be the case!

[upgradeit]

. . . Kim, is something wrong?

[He sounds genuinely terrified of the answer.]

Jane's fine, right?

[pinkflip]

[ UM. WELL. She's really tense and doesn't answer hiro tbh ]

[upgradeit]

Jane is fine, right?

[He sounds legitimately panicked.]

[pinkflip]

[ One little girl or a whole other bunch of innocent people. This is a choice she never thought she'd have to make. ]

I don't know.

[ Coward. ]

[upgradeit]

No. No. [He's shaking his head, because he doesn't want this.] There has to be. There has to be another explanation!

[lostbutnotaboy]

O-of course I was! I came out of it this morning! [She sounds a little tense.]

[The scent seems to be coming from down where Kim was checking, although.... the tops of her feet are completely clean.]

[pinkflip]

Can... Can I see the bottom of your feet? Please, it's important.

[lostbutnotaboy]

[...She falters.]

W-why? Kim, I...

[She's suddenly realizes that everyone's got eyes on her.]

[pinkflip]

I'm really sorry, Jane, I- I don't understand but...something's wrong, and... Your feet smell like blood.
