Third Trial (for real this time)

[rech]

[You're starting to get used to this routine, even if the deaths still might be taking a toll on you.

The floor descends once more as Randall does 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 once more and opens to the trial room. As usual, Jane and Mr Arrow's podium now has a lit candle and a voodoo doll of themselves resting on top.

Randall is already standing in the middle circle, this time sans Facilier head.]

All good things must come to an end. I must say I'm going to miss that party.

[TRIAL START!]

Comments

[negaverse]

It was your idea. You tell them.

[pinkflip]

No. [ Her voice is tight. ] No, you're lying... He's lying, right, Pinocchio? You didn't want to kill Mr. Arrow...?

[madeofpine]

...I-- I didn't wanna kill Arrow...

[pinkflip]

[ ...It clicks. ]

You set a trap for Randall.

[nachosquire]

Oh my god.

[This is going in directions no one wants honestly.]

[pinkflip]

No... No, not again.

[nachosquire]

C-can't we...

[Marco's voice trails off, because there's absolutely nothing they can do about this, they should have learned that from last week.]

[faciliheir]

Can we execute Negaduck too. Can we do that. I'd really like to do that.

[tanukey]

...I mean he did kinda use the kid as a weapon here. I'm willin' to say that should count.

[faciliheir]

Exactly! He used him like a tool, knowingly! It's like punishing the gun but not the one who shot it!

[not_over_yet]

Agreeing with this.

[upgradeit]

Seconded.

[pinkflip]

[ mmmmmMMMM kim isn't going to agree because she doesn't want to execute anyone but oh

oh man

this fucking duck ]

[lovelylilmouse]

Oh, I sure hope so.

[angelgoatdemon]

['He's definitely going to be executed as well for being an accomplice,' he writes.]

[scrapplinghook]

[Mabel's not really a smartypants so she doesn't speak up much during the trials but now...]

Yeah. Just 'cause he didn't do anything doesn't mean he's not guilty!!

[bestchefinparis]

No way...

[Why do awful things keep happening]

[madeofpine]

[Between Kim and Basil, he can't keep up lying to them anymore. He just nods his head.]

Soos said we hadta think of some way to stop him-- Randy, I mean. And I didn't want him makin' us hurt anybody anymore. I didn't want anybody else gettin' punished because of stuff like-- like Jane.

I thought... I thought Negaduck could help. He said he'd help me make a trap, and all I had to do was get the supplies an' stuff and then we'd all be okay. We could all go back home.

Arrow wasn't supposed to be there.

[bayoublues]

You...you....

[Louis doesn't know what to say. This is just like last week, only worse, somehow. Much, much worse.]

It wasn't your fault.

[madeofpine]

I didn't even know it was gonna kill Randy, I just thought he was gonna get hurt. I didn't-- I didn't mean to kill anybody, but...

[is. is this a bravery thing. is he messing it up.]

...But I still helped, I guess. So maybe it is my fault.

[bestchefinparis]

[Oh my god...]

Why him? Why didn't you think of talking with anyone else?

[pinkflip]

Pinocchio... [ This shouldn't be happening again. This little boy shouldn't be the one who- who tried to get them out and gets punished for it. ] This isn't...

[not_over_yet]

[ The worst part is that Basil's mind helpfully, automatically, points out exactly how he can say "I told you so" and no fuck off mind. ]

I.

I'm... sorry, Pinocchio. [ This is because of how BADLY he fucked up that conscience talk..

.....and the insistence they kill Randy........

fuck this is his fault ]

[not_over_yet]

Someone else, then?

[ it was fuckin Randy wasn't it ]
