WEEK 1

[The train wouldn't stop. Not until very early the next morning. The few who might have been awake would be able to exit the train, entering the cool twilight of the dawn. The star is dark, and few stars can be seen in the sky as a cold breeze begins to blow from the mountain beyond. You can see some chunks of rock floating idly nearby, far away from the station that it won't hit trains, but near enough that one can see they are larger than the train they just disembarked.

Lastly, laid out in front of them, the first port of call: Menahoven. The mountain: The Throat of the World.

But which world? Who knows. Not any of yours. Maybe it doesn't matter. Not when you are so far from home. Not when you have no way to get off this rock without the aid of the trains-and they will not let you pass.

It looks like you're stuck here until the Conductor decides to leave. In the meantime, everyone will need to get comfortable.


There are fifteen strangers left in this place.]

[Kick...kick...BOOM!

And the door is now open!]

[ Let's go inside then! ]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[The room is a massive stone auditorium, trimmed with gold on some of the columns. It's in fact a step-down room, so McBurn is currently at the top of the room. He's able to see everything beneath him.

There's not much aside from "lots of stone", other than what's on the other side of the door McBurn kicked in, what's next to the door, and in the center, on the bottom floor.]

[otherworldlyking]

[ What is investigating...

He's going to yawn and take glance at the center on the bottom floor after taking a look at the other side of the door he just kicked in, trying to see if he can catch a glimpse of something and all that. ]

[strangerpeople]

[It's a sign, cautioning audience members that this is a courtroom, that it is a real legal preceding, and that they must be quiet to allow deliberations to occur. They must also not touch those who are deliberating, and not to throw popcorn at them, either.]

[otherworldlyking]

[ Oh yay, a courtroom. Just where he wanted to be.

Since the sign's in the center (???) of the room, how about he takes a glance at what's next to the door, just to make sure nothing's being missed before he decides it's time to waltz on out of here. ]

[strangerpeople]

[It's a small concession stand. Nothing there, though. There's clearly no trial today.]

[otherworldlyking]

[ Okay good, he's inadvertently done enough for today, time to skedaddle. ]
