THE THIRD TRIAL
(~SK. 17-18)


[When the investigation ends, the D O N G rings throughout the ship, followed by Zero's voice.]

It is time. Everyone, come to the theater. Time is...wasting.

[And so it is. The seating has once more changed to reflect the fallen-Moriarty and now Brain's podiums are draped in black. And, of course, there is no food-

The screens come up, and the mask of Zero appears, ever inscrutable. Their instructions are brief.]

Your Brain is gone, I'm afraid. Cut into pieces and cast aside...and someone here knows why. Now, it's time for you to discover the truth as well...if you can.


[The trial for the murder of Brain, the Blue, has begun.]

[...Oof.]

You don't have to worry about that badger anymore. I took care of it.

[jinglebros]

...last time I saw it, it'd escaped and was trying to mate with a chariot.

[not_a_lego_maniac]

How would that even work???

[somuchshipping]

It escaped? But... how...?

[jinglebros]

It's a demon.

[superstylishsquid]

I've seen plenty of demons less fierce.

[not_a_lego_maniac]

Cat badger is a demon!?

[valkavian]

[ Completely fucking serious: ]

Yeah.

[superstylishsquid]

I'm convinced.

[And he's an authority on the subject!]

[valkavian]

Emphasis on tried.

[not_a_lego_maniac]

That sounds terrifying!!!

[autonomousthought]

...did you deal with the chariot, too?

[not_a_lego_maniac]

There's a chariot???

[autonomousthought]

Two. One is ridiculous but drivable, the other is angry and on fire and meows and I think it fell in love with the badger.

[not_a_lego_maniac]

Uh. Has anyone figured out where those two went???

[autonomousthought]

That's why I asked if Hermes took care of it!

[jinglebros]

Maybe they're off making impossible babies...

[valkavian]

Impossible as in freak of nature, impossible as in purely imaginary, or impossible like the impossible burger is impossible?

[jinglebros]

All of the above?

[valkavian]

Jesus Christ.

[somuchshipping]

...I mean, this isn't exactly a NoTP, but... I'm not sure I want to ship this. It's so weird! ThisShipIsSoWeird!

[jinglebros]

This ship is fucking weird!!!!

[valkavian]

Holy fuck, I want the second one.

[autonomousthought]

If you find it, you can have it! And who knows, maybe the Gimme has more.

[valkavian]

Yeah, I'd try to ask him for another, but I don't wanna end up like Keith.
