THE SECOND TRIAL

THE SECOND TRIAL


[After the final clue is found, the ticking sound in everyone's head abruptly stops.]

Well done, well done. Now, I believe you know where to go from here!

[There is the tell-tale rumble once more, and once more, if the Strangers don't go to the garden, there are dozens of bats more than happy to drag them there.

Despite the very dim light of the candles and the tray of "food" in the center of the Ossuary, it becomes clear- once everyone's been chained up and dragged to their designated place-that there are less coffins present than there were last week. Where Eddie, Akko, and Felicity's graves had been, there are nothing but a carefully balanced pile of skulls in their place. It's...best not to speculate whether any of those skulls happen to belong to the dead of your group.

Once everyone is forcibly settled, the scrolls that everyone possesses light up. Five faces appear alongside the evidence.]



THE FAST
THE ENEMY
THE CIRCUIT
THE APPROACH
THE NOODLES

Now that we are all settled, I suggest you get to it. You do not have forever.

[As the Elder Steward finishes, the clock is ticking again. It's time to decide who is responsible for this horrible crime.


The trial for the murder of Franciscus Erkens, the Scorching, has begun.]

[His voice is a shaken, gutted, hollow echo of itself -]

Do any of us here deserve it, if he thought his attacker was someone who isn't and lashed out first? It would be a horrid accident then, wouldn't it? A man who was good, kind... and didn't deserve to be dead is, and this is - damn it....

They still did it. The rules say you can't be caught, and it's our job to catch them. Do you want to get out of here or not?

I have no reason left to go home, but...

Yes.

Neither do I. So get to work so you're not stuck in a situation like me.
yonosoymaria: (it's my fault.)

I wish we had any other way out. Anything besides this... this monstrosity that calls itself justice.
