Seventh Trial

[candlelightsflicker]

[Once again the stretching room descends and the Hatbox Ghost seems impatient.]

Ugh where's that Serling guy's stupid death elevator when you need it? This is taking forever.

[But soon enough you arrive in the trial room, now with Freddie and Jyn's voodoo dolls on their podiums. And your 100% new friend Hatbox Ghost is there too!] 

If you guys don't all die next week, I'm installing the death elevator.

[TRIAL START]

Comments

[hasit]

Hard to say. [She gives Allene a steady look.] It just didn't seem like it spilled out naturally that way.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

[She doesn't know what to do with that information.]

...What about the red yarn? Does it look like it came from a yarn ball or a piece of clothing or something else?

Mods?

[hasit]

Well—

[She lays it across her podium to inspect it.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Piece of clothing. Definitely not clean enough to be from a ball of yarn.]

[hasit]

It’s from a piece of clothing, almost certainly. We could...check everyone for tears in their clothing, and the color would be easy to match.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

That's what I was thinking, yeah.

[She's gonna kill anyone with red]

[upgradeit]

[excuse??? this hoodie is his dead boyfriend's.]

[sorrydoods]

[...

looks down at the red sweater he's wearing that Mabel made for him a couple of weeks ago

looks back at Allene]

This...this doesn't look good, does it?

[bayoublues]

[Normally, Louis would interject at this suggestion, but...as the last few weeks have turned out....]

...Soos?

[sorrydoods]

I swear, I would never do this.

[Murdering Jyn is the exact opposite of keeping Mabel and Stan safe!]

[bayoublues]

Mmmmm.

[HE REALLY WANTS TO TRUST YOU SOOS HE REALLY DOES!!! BUT....]

[kickbuttseatnuts]

...We'll see, won't we.

[sorrydoods]

[Audible gulping]

CLOTHING CHECK

[hasit]

Right. Would everyone be willing to submit to a clothing inspection, then?

[stanbyme]

You want me to check the guys, Lei'?

[hasit]

I'd appreciate it, honey. Look for anything red, and we can narrow it down from there based on tears or rips.

Guys Round Up

[stanbyme]

You got it, kitten.

You heard the lady, guys over here.

[For his part, he's just wearing his black suit with white shirt and red tie. The tie, however, is not made of yarn, so even if it's red it wouldn't match.]

[bayoublues]

[The only red thing Louis has on him is Freddie's gris-gris--he still hasn't taken it off.]

[kickbuttseatnuts]

[Standard superhero outfit, no tears or red to be found]

[hasit]

You're clear, hon.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

I should hope so.

[Paying more attention to everyone else.]

[scrapplinghook]

[Mabel gets how this stuff works by now, and stretches her arms out so Leia can see her sweater: while she switched sweaters up every few days since the sewing room opened, all week she's been wearing a rainbow-colored one. Kind of in honor of Freddie and Ariel???

... And of course it being rainbow-striped means one band near the top is very clearly red.]

[hasit]

[Alright, well, there's something. Leia purses her lips, and tugs a little at Mabel's sweater, checking for tears or holes or anything like that.]

[upgradeit]

[. . . reluctantly removes Marco's hoodie, which is red, for inspection. He's wearing the sweater Mabel made him under it, which is red and pink, so he takes that off too. It leaves him in a red t-shirt that has some sort of robot on the front.

This is fine, probably.]

[hasit]

[Jesus, Marco, switch it up a little would you?

Does any of it have rips or tears?]
