FOURTH TRIAL

[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 😎

...

Whose body?

[fiftyyearspast]

Anyone's body, it seems. The kid planned this?

[treefetish]

... What if we're not ourselves right now? [oh god she is TOO FUCKING HIGH FOR THIS]

[fiftyyearspast]

One of us for sure hadn't been. Maybe his plans backfired.

[udderly]

Wait. Does - do you think he meant to kill himself, then?

[fiftyyearspast]

Not himself, no. [He's reading the plans over and over, as if hoping something might change.]

The kid wanted someone else to do the dirty work.

[udderly]

Oh, because . . . he wouldn't be blamed, but he'd still win.

[fiftyyearspast]

[Nods] A surefire way to get us all killed with a misvote. That's oddly...genius? Manipulative?

[Evil Morty sure is a force to be reckoned with!]

[in4apounding]

That's more than a little terrifying.

[Like a lot more.]

...If someone were, sort of being puppeted around like that, would there be any way for us to tell, do you think?

[standsforrevenge]

So like... he tried to get the drop on some dude, but they turned around and got the drop on him instead?

Why'd they have to kill him like, five times though?

[in4apounding]

Maybe- maybe-

[Penny.exe is processing]

They used too much force and- impaled him, like you said, and then panicked and tried to pull it out, and that caused the other injuries?

[udderly]

So we're still looking for someone strong?

[in4apounding]

They'd have to be, yes. Or- cooooould the impalement have come from something. Someone built? Like a weapon. Is there anything like that in those plans? Morty would've had to kill someone to control their corpse and HE wasn't very strong.
