foolishmortals | Second Trial

[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.

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

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

Freddie, be quiet.

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

"Whoever did this is disgusting."

Remember that?

Shut up, Freddie.

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!

Freddie, shut. Up. Now.

[That is clearly a warning. It would be best if you did as he said.]

...wait, seriously? Her? Damn. Wouldn't have pegged her for this.

[He sounds almost more impressed than anything.]

It could have been an accident.

[Once it was clear Noby wasn't hit over and over with his pet rock that became a very real possibility.

At least Rémy wants to believe it was an accident]

[freddie's right tho]

There isn't any excuse. Basil was right, and Molly was right too. Some people just lie about bein' friends and then hurt people they pretended to care about.

[That

might have honestly choked a sob out of Jane. Goddamn, Pinnoc.]

That may be true but... [She pinches the bridge of her nose.] There's a time and a place to be amused by this. Preferably never.

Freddie, stop.

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

[yeah.

she can see.]

Freddie.

[Minnies Fucking Pissed]

[HOLLY SHIT MINNIE MOUSE IS PISSED.]

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

[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?

Oh, save it. [She's shaking her head slowly.] We don't even have all the facts yet, so don't start playing devil's advocate.

I'm not advocating for anything or anyone. I'm just making a little observation.

They’re all hypocrites, you know that.

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

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!

You’d be better off like your father, I think.

Vocal cord-less. On a stick.

Edited 2018-01-27 23:47 (UTC)

Gosh, what a coincidence! I think you'd be better off like my first singing partner!

Shrunk.

...That's why he's silent. Of course it is.
