Mock Gaiden Trial

[superstarlineup]

[After everyone has finished investigating the horrendous death of a poor dog (and also a couple of disasters who somehow gotten themselves killed, everyone will hear a loud click from the direction of Superstar Studios. A few moments later, the Agent’s voice is heard.]

Ok that’s enough rehearsal there! Time for the show! Everyone break a leg okay?

[As everyone enters the Studio, the first thing that hits them is the blinding lights, making it impossible to see anything for the first few moments.

Once their eyes adjust, they’ll realize that they are definitely in a really tacky movie studios. There are some cheap cardboard cutouts of monsters and city skylines, cameras that look pretty out of date, and the whole place looks like it was built on a shoestring budget.

In the middle of the studio there are rows of directors chairs for every guest that woke up here, with Rod, Ghost Host, and Stan’s chairs just knocked over. In front of them stands the Agent, grinning in an extremely uncanny way.]

I’m impressed! Three bodies is impressive after that first week of nothin’! I’m gonna make sure that culprit gets an extra special reward if they manage to get away with it.

[A small pause, then:]

Okay, my shining stars. You all have to figure out who killed your fellow actors so they don’t get away with it! If they do, they get their reward while everyone else will be punished instead.

There’s no set time limit, but make sure you don’t make it borin’. The cameras are rolling and I ain’t going to let the people watch another boring average reality show!

We're not going to have to kill you too, are we?

[spacejacket]

You're welcome to try, but I doubt you'll get anywhere. Besides, why kill a man who's congratulating you? Seems rude.

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[Careful, she might take that as a challenge.]

Yeah. Congratulating us for what exactly?

[spacejacket]

A very successful first week of this program! You've all done so well.

[feudalladyshandmaid]

Program? What program?

[She doesn't have a sword but god, if looks could kill...]

You'd better start giving us answers, because I'm already in a bad mood!

[spacejacket]

You're on TV! A TV program that everyone on Earth is watching, but no one knows they are.

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[She still doesn't fully understand TV, but the rest of that reads loud and clear.]

Everyone in the world is watching this? And that's just okay with you?

[spacejacket]

Of course it is. It was my idea.

[allknowledgegoodknowledge]

Your ideas are bad and you should feel bad.

[spacejacket]

I'm going to save the only good thing humanity has ever created.

......there are children present, goodness.
