Second Trial

[yourghosthost]

[Just like last week, as soon as everyone’s done investigating and back in the stretching room, the doors close and everyone slowly descends. As it does so, the Ghost Host's voice once again echoes across the room.]

Tell me. Is this haunted room actually stretching? Or is it just your imagination?

[This is apparently a thing he does.

When it stops, everyone is once again welcomed to the graveyard 25 tombstones arranged in a circle. Now there are three new epitaphs to the newly dearly departed Mulan, Princess Anna, and Sophie. They are dressed with their own rose and class of cognac to each of their tombstone.

Here lies Ping Mulan
Wanted to do anything for honor
It’s a shame she is now a goner

Here lies Princess Anna
She stumbled upon a bride’s wedding
And earned herself a nice beheading

Here lies Sophie Hatter
She was a wonderful little maid
But sadly went and got betrayed

When everyone goes to their places, the Ghost Host speaks again.]

I suppose you all remember from last week how this works. Remember you only have one vote.

[Well there’s only one way to go now.]

It's okay to be angry! But let that just simmer for a sec. No excuse for what he's done, but it's just that, done.

And now he's gonna die.

And not see whoever he did this for ever again.

You want the last thing for him to see are those eyes of yours? You could burn a hole through a roof right now.

[ilovepuppies]

But I can't do anything else! None of us can!

[And he's right. Tadashi's going to die and it'll be all their fault.]

[aboyandhiscar]

Who says you're not doing anything? You've been running around, summoning. . .who the heck knows what, keeping folks spirits up, shining bright! Times like this, folks need that little bit of brightness.

So don't let some messed up stuff like this burn you out, okay? Besides, if you go to town on him, it'd be really bad if we had to start another trial for you.

[ She hesitates... then walks over, putting a hand on Star's arm. ]

You're wrong. You've... been so vibrant and bright.

I don't think any of us want our Star to burn out.

[outsidethecircle]

They're right. [Since she's standing here, going to put her hand on Star's arm, too.]

You're too energetic for me but I don't know what I would do without you.

[Wendy doesn't look that well off, but she'll be looking at Star all the same.]

We can't. Not right now, but if there's anything we can do, we will, Star.

[That much she can promise.]
