FINAL TRIAL

[grimgrinningghosts]

[When everyone is done investigation, they will hear a mechanical whir as the Doombuggies start back up again. (Best hurry before Heihei and Tarzan's corpse get away from you guys.) When they get back into the Doombuggies, they head back into a tunnel before they meet up again with both groups. Finally the Doombuggies roll to a stop once again and the guests will find themselves in the graveyard, just like every Friday when they had a trial.

The graveyard looks just as it has been, except now there is a knife chained to each tombstone in the circle. This is including the tombstones of your dearly departed, so don't worry if you wanted to have a different formation for the final trial.

And, as always, there is a new epitaph for Jiminy Cricket.

Here lies Jiminy Cricket
So deep in despair, he couldn't think
Got what he wanted and went out with a drink

And don't worry if you're not sure where to go from here. As everyone gets situated to their podium, they'll see someone familiar entering.

Oogie comes out from the shadows]

Well well well, what have we here? About time you showed up! I was wondering if you all died back there.

[How much luck do you guys have by your sides?]

Actually, Elsa found a tape recorder. We can listen to it, if the tape isn't damaged, that is.

[aboyandhiscar]

--Seriously? Well heck, let's give it a go!

[He hands over the tape--it says "HELL'S BELLS" on the label]

[sixfingeredstan]

Elsa? May we see that tape recorder?

[Ford turns over the tape in his hands, studying the label for a moment. Someone is an AC/DC fan.]

[defyingfrigidity]

Of course.

[She... doesn't know how to work it, so when she shuffles around her tombstone in the sea of death, she hands it over with the tape they found still inside. They'll have to play it anyway, so...!]

[sixfingeredstan]

Thank you, dear.

[He takes the recorder and pauses, realizing belatedly that this isn't going to work.]

This is a video cassette. We'd need a VCR to play it, Mike.

[Ford shakes his head. Apparently all the stress is getting to him.]

Unless someone has an A/V cart, we're out of luck.

[aboyandhiscar]

[?????]

What's a VCR?

[kindaruledatit]

It's a.... thing? It plays Videos?

[Gestures??]

They were kinda big when I was a kid.

[aboyandhiscar]

Before my time, I guess. This is more old school than I thought. Seriously no other way to play it?

[kindaruledatit]

Nope, things were seriously low-tech back then.

[No internet, no youtube. It was the pits.]

[aboyandhiscar]

Jeeze. . .well, guess this goes in our back pocket for now. Plenty more stuff to figure out.

[sixfingeredstan]

'Video Cassette Recorder.' It's the precursor to...

[Oh god what is it called. Dipper explained it.]

DVDs.

[aboyandhiscar]

[opens his mouth to ask what a DVD is

...

closes it.


He's just gonna go with "Thing that records other things or movies']
