Final Trial

[bringmecontracts]

[After everyone is done investigating the rooms, they will hear a faint creeek from the mansion’s entrance. Once they heads towards the noise they will discover a set of stairs leading to the basement that definitely weren’t there earlier.

Once they head downstairs, they will find themselves in a long hallway that seems to stretch out forever. It doesn’t, luckily, but eventually the hallway ends at a large empty room, with just a throne in the center.

The living guests will immediately realize they're not alone because King Dice is here already laying across the throne and smoking a cigar. He grins at the survivors and stand up.]

Well congrats, kids! I must say I’m impressed that that you managed to get down here alive, considering who was leading ya.

Now, I’m sure y’all have a lot of questions about what’s going on but I gotta settle something first:

[He looks directly at Michael.]

Mikey, I believe we have to finish our arrangement now.

[codeofhero]

What they seem to be giving out? Yes.

[in4apounding]

[She takes a second to consider what's already happened thanks to the presumably non-zombie weed during their time here.]

...That would be really, really bad.

[codeofhero]

[Warily eyes Gandhi.]

Indeed. I've become concerned about us being possibly subjected to the effects already.

[in4apounding]

Gandhi quit, though. Who else-

[She thinks for a second.]

...Audrey.

[And probably Michael, but for now Penny has no recent trauma re: failures regarding the protection of him as a friend.]

[codeofhero]

...Yes. Audrey.

[He thought it strange, how she seemed to show as little emotion as possible during her trial. Now there seems to be a reason.]

[standsforrevenge]

What!? I'm clean, dude!

...I think I know where the space weed is coming from though.

[codeofhero]

Good. The sharper all of our mind are, the better to beat our foes.

[Raises a metal brow.]

Where?

[standsforrevenge]

[Joke's on you guys, Gandhi is a dumbass no matter how sober he is]

I found a big ass greenhouse full of weed. I think they were trying to grow like... the BEST space weed? There were all these notes on different plants and one of them was labaled "perfect".

[in4apounding]

Did the note say anything else?

[standsforrevenge]

Nnnnope. Some of the other notes said stuff like "no notable side effects" or "too mild". I'm guessing our dude really likes the stuff that makes you murder unicorns.

[in4apounding]

He would, the big wad.

[codeofhero]

The biggest wad.

[in4apounding]

The biggest dicewad!

[This is being productive right?]

[bringmecontracts]

[Completely flatly:]

Oh no. I am so offended.

[in4apounding]

Good, it's SUPPOSED to be offensive.

[Yeah, your sarcasm's gonna have to be a lot blunter to actually register here.]

What was even the point of bringing us all here anyway, did you just want to gloat or something?

....You wad.

[bringmecontracts]

Well I'll be. Ya think that every thing I do is just ta be evil for no reason without hearin' what I gotta say?

I'm here to help ya get out.

[in4apounding]

Yes, actually? You've been pretty evil since the beginning.

[That's a trick question, right.]

...Oh. Hm. Mhm. ....What's the catch. Or- no, what are you getting out of it?

[Suspicious.]

[bringmecontracts]

No catch at all! Ya suffered long enough that any catch would just be rubbing salt in a wound.

I just want ya to accept a parting gift from me

[in4apounding]

...Is it weed? It's weed, isn't it.

[bringmecontracts]

Aren't you a smart cookie? Yes that's exactly what I'm offerin' ya.

[in4apounding]

I mean, I'm pretty sure everyone here would just get rid of it, if we took it? So you wouldn't really be gaining anything.

[Processing...]

Except then you'd probably just do this all again, right? Kidnap more people and get them to kill each other, and maybe some of them would actually take it home and use it.

[bringmecontracts]

Now it would be rude to just throw away a gift.

Why do ya not trust me? I’m givin’ ya an opportunity to leave, no questions asked.

[codeofhero]

"Parting gift"?

Are you leaving us?

[bringmecontracts]

In a sense.

I’d like to bring ya home, no questions asked.

[codeofhero]

Us?

[He has to ruminate on that, for a moment.]

I don't believe it. After the indignity we have suffered, you would return us to our worlds, simple as that?
