FINAL TRIAL


[Once everyone has managed to gather every piece of evidence they can get their hands on, there is, at last, a sense that they can go up to the top on the elevator that works. Granted, with access now granted, they probably could have gone up at any time, but it they would have been ill-prepared for what might be up there.

In any case, they might not have needed to worry.]



[Barbara will no doubt recognize this place as where Marie brought her just the previous week. It is a master control room, filled with buttons and levers that line the walls. However, the dome also allows for a view of what's outside - of the skies, the stars, the planets. The alpine valley the Base is situated, with its bubbling waterfall, and the crystal-clear blue lake it empties into, surrounded by flowers below the Base's base. The lake itself empties into a crystal clear river that looks to be narrow, but deep and rapid.

In the center of the room, near where the elevator rises out of the floor, is a chair, with a giant plush of that cheeky raccoon snuggled into it. Once everyone has come into the room, the elevator melts into the floor with a slurping sound. Now, everyone is here - and there's only one seat, meaning almost everyone will be standing for the duration of this discussion. There's no food or drink here, either - the Titled will have to make do with whatever they brought with them.

There's is a rumble below, as the Titled, together with Bottson and their menagerie of animals - gather together for one last trial. Everyone and everything in this universe may be at stake, and ultimately, either they all go home - or no one will.]


[It's time! The objectives are simple in this trial. It's time to finally answer the questions the Titled have about why they are here - and face the Mastermind of the Base.

Most importantly, though - who's got dibs on that chair? It's the only one in the room!

In any case, good luck, Titled!]

[Angela, have you ever been on the receiving end of a look that says "I thought better of you than this" before?]

Wouldn't we still remember something of being pulled from our own world's? I'll grant I definitely remember falling asleep in my classroom, but I'd expect there to still be something. Even just knowledge of why I'm here, what I'm supposed to fix, but there's nothing.

[A LOT OF TIMES? WHERE DO ALL THE STRANGERS GET THE IDEA THAT SHE'S SOME KIND OF GOOD AND NOT PETTY PERSON]

Then mind control recorded in tapes that are somewhere else.

[Petty he understands. It's the "not good" part he wanted to not be true.]

I guess the questions I have regarding this are what happened, who took the memories - the ones who sent us here to save Ivy-san or the ones who want to kill her, and why they took those memories.

I don't find it easy to believe these would be specifically separated out from the others that were taken from us and stored somewhere we haven't searched - it didn't seem like they wanted us to find the ones we retrieved, so why do that? And if we were mind-controlled, [which he also doubts]....a lot of this doesn't add up.

[hey, she could always do MORE not good things, like COMPLICITY IN THE DEATHS OF TWO OR THREE INNOCENT PEOPLE]

Then... do they just have a really weird definition of consent? Did they think we'd do this outta the goodness of our hearts?
