FOURTH TRIAL

[imthetrashman]

[The banner up above the basketball court has burnt up, replacing the first part of the phrase. It now just reads “SMOKE EM OUT!”. Coraline’s podium has been replaced with a dead mouse while Morty’s has turned into a pickle - it’s pickle podium.

King Dice’s stand is now selling Pickle Rick merchandise.]

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Space Jam. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of Looney Tunes Lore most of the jokes will go over a typical viewers head. There's also Michael’s pessimistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Space Jam truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Porky wetting himself which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Wayne Knight's genius wit unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂 And yes, by the way, i DO have a Space Jam tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎

[Ok! In that case Otis should notice a strange underlying scent of burnt metal.]

[udderly]

Uh, guys? This . . . smells like the back end of a car.

[in4apounding]

Like gasoline exhaust?

[Penny no.]

[udderly]

No, no - you know how metal smells weird when it gets hot? This smells like that.

[in4apounding]

Oh. Oh. ...Ooooh.

[Trying and failing not to look over at Dinobot.]

[carbonairhead]

Metal? But that'd...

[in4apounding]

....maybe the cloth was wrapped around something metal that stabbed Morty, and someone tried burning it to hide it?

[codeofhero]

If there is cloth, should we possibly check if any person is missing some?

Clothing Check?

[in4apounding]

I guess that would be the place to start.

[As for Penny herself, she's dressed the same way she has been since they arrived, with nothing obviously out of place.]

[codeofhero]

[Dinobot is naked, except not, because he's a transformer and that's different. Like he's always been.]

[udderly]

[he's a cow he doesn't wear clothes]

[fiftyyearspast]

[Nothing seems off on the surface! His armor's the same as when he got here, miraculously.]

[in4apounding]

...I'm sorry, Mister Jack, you've got clothes underneath your armor, right? We should. Probably be thorough about this.

[fiftyyearspast]

Sure. Uh, this'll take awhile.

[He's wearing a dark sea-green gi under there. There's no immediate damage.]

Mind if I put these back on?

[in4apounding]

That should be fine, thank you. And sorry again.

[She really does sound apologetic, for what it's worth.]

[candymancan]

["immediate"]

Would you mind if we got a better look?

[Firstly, are there any areas on the gi that are damaged?]

[fiftyyearspast]

Not at all.

[The gi itself seems overall intact.

There's something off with his 'gloves']

[in4apounding]

[Are they covered in blood. Please don't be covered in blood.]

[candymancan]

[Nothing obviously off here!]

[in4apounding]

Could you take off your jacket, please, Mister Wonka? Just to thorough.

[...She's not as sorry about this as she is with Jack. Sorry.]

[candymancan]

I could.

[He does not.]

[codeofhero]

It would be wise to do as she asked.

[Staring awfully hard.]

[standsforrevenge]

Do it, murder man.

[carbonairhead]

[ there are no clothes on this unicorn ]

[standsforrevenge]

[what do you think the stoner smells like? nothing off here.]
