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]

...Eh, sure.

[Stan takes off his suit jacket and throws it over his podium. But as he goes to untie his tie, something red falls out of the inner pocket of his suit jacket.]

[bayoublues]

[hmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMMMMMM]

....Stan? What...What is that?

[He's gonna try and scoop it up to inspect it before Stan can. Quick, old man!]

[stanbyme]

[He didn't notice it fell, so he just sees an alligator coming at him and decides dodging that is more important.

Louis, you are now +1 red knit beanie.]

[hasit]

[Leia feels her heart skip a beat, and...not in a fun way.]

Hon? What's that?

[stanbyme]

It's just one of my hats. Guess it must've been in my pocket.

[hasit]

But it's not...there aren't any rips or anything, right?

[She's staring at him so beseechingly she's getting a little bit of tunnel vision. She just...doesn't want to embrace this possibility at all???]

[stanbyme]

...Well, I mean, I had it out at sea with me fighting monsters...

[Glances at Louis checking the beanie]

It's taken some pretty rough beatings...

[hasit]

[All at once she snatches up the piece of yarn and brings it over so she can compare it to the hat.]

It's a match, Stanley. Why is it a match.

[stanbyme]

Honey-

[hasit]

Tell me, Stan. Why is it a match?

[Ah yes look she's on the verge of tears and she's definitely angry. All she needs to hear is that he has a logical explanation for all this—]

[not_over_yet]

[ ...Fucking hell, he's been discounting the Pines, all of them, since first trial? Why you gotta go and make him this degree of wrong, it's rude is what it is. ]

[sorrydoods]

S-Stan?

[please no please no please no please dear God no]

[scrapplinghook]

[... yeah, mabel's just staring at stan in horror now.]

[kickbuttseatnuts]

That's real convenient, huh?

[Scratching huge lines into her podium.]

[bayoublues]

[I'm so sorry, Leia.]

mods?

[bayoublues]

[MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM DON'T LIKE THAT

He's gonna. Inspect it closely. Are there any tears or the like in it?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Outside just being generally weathered, there is a very clean tear in the beanie, and it’s for sure made out of the same material.]
