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.

Comments

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.]

[not_over_yet]

[ No red here, yarn or otherwise. ]

[sorrydoods]

[As we already mentioned, Soos is currently wearing the red sweater Mabel made for him recently, which...yeah, that's really not good.

Other than that, he doesn't have anything else red on him! That's good, right?]

Uh, do you need me to take it off to get a better look at it?

[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.]

[scrapplinghook]

[Mabel lets out a sound like a kitten grabbed by the scruff of its neck, but doesn't protest otherwise!]

It's nice, right?? I had one just like it back home!

[It's nice, yes, and none of the red threads are torn or frayed. So, clear!]

[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?]

[upgradeit]

[He only has the one set of clothes, Space Mom.

None of the clothing is ripped, but that shirt has seen better days. Do not wear the same t-shirt for two months running when it's already old because it was probably your older sibling's to begin with, fam. Don't do it.]
