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?]

["Club." MmmmMMMMM.

Think Mike, think!!]

. . .Club? Liiiike, Club 33? Pretty expensive taste you might have there. You sure you don't just put it on Boogie's tab? C'mon, the guys full of bugs but he's dancing loops around you when it comes to class!

[notreadyatall]

We ate on somebody else's dime. Good beignets.

[aboyandhiscar]

Yeah? Then why'd you have the receipt? Don't tell me you're trying to live the high life on the sly and all you're gonna offer up are some random dudes souls?

C'mon, Doc! Go big or go home--you gotta throw yourself into the mix, too.

[notreadyatall]

What exactly are you trying to play at, boy.

[aboyandhiscar]

I'm trying to cut you a deal, dude. [Or buy some fucking time til they come up with something.]

You think you're gonna get out of this scott-free? A tasty, knowledgeable soul like you? Nice dolls, by the way. [He waves one of the voodoos] If not now, they'll let you age like some fine wine, yeah? Boogie can handle this operation on his own.

But if you give us an out, we can make it worth your while.

[notreadyatall]

So long as I got this tailsman...

[He holds up the tailsman he's wearing around his neck.]

They ain't touchin' me.

[outsidethecircle]

Let's steal the talisman!

[kindaruledatit]

Ssssshhhhh!

[She's all over this, but Anna plz.]

[outsidethecircle]

[No, rebellion! Rebellion!]

[kindaruledatit]

[Rebellion soon!!]

[outsidethecircle]

[REBELLION!]

[kindaruledatit]

[REBELLION!]

[chainbroke]

[ don't just announce it, anna!!! ]

[outsidethecircle]

[The time for quiet planning is over, Nams!]

[aboyandhiscar]

[ANNA SHHH]

[outsidethecircle]

[NO]

[aboyandhiscar]

[hello

Mike's eyes go wide, and he grins. Gonna keep trying to chat him up.]

Oooh, no wonder you're a cocky one! That some kinda leverage there?

[notreadyatall]

I see what you're trying to do here.

Think you can distract me so you can get at me. Believe me, I'm more clever than that.

[aboyandhiscar]

[WELL GIVEN THAT ANNA JUST ANNOUNCED IT....He snorts lightly]

Weeell not like we can get at you anyway right here. You just want a show, right?

Another question! Just how long to souls last after death?

[notreadyatall]

Forever. Till they get gobbled up or taken somewhere.

[aboyandhiscar]

Taken? Liiiike, where?

[notreadyatall]

Here. The Underworld. Plenty of places.

[aboyandhiscar]

Nice nice! Last things--so why are you here? Can't anyone suck up a soul if they have the know how?

And those guys--[points up]--what are they?

[notreadyatall]

They needed somebody to run this whole thing.

They're my Friends.

[aboyandhiscar]

[not what he meant but he's just gonna roll with it why not!!]

You sure about that? After all, you're protecting yourself. Can't touch you with that talisman, yeah?
