DECEMBER EVENT PART THREE: WITH THE DAWN OF REDEEMING GRACE

[the voice from the imaginary loudspeaker resounds again.]

I do believe that’s the best you all can do. Hopefully it will be enough… Gather in the lobby at your earliest convenience. There, you will find an elevator. It will take you to your next location. [pause] Mind the severed heads.

[the elevator they find in the lobby is not one that had been there before: it is strange, a bit too large and industrial for what is generally a Victorian manor. nothing will compel them to board it, but… hey. if you stay behind, you miss out on all the fun, right?

and the fun starts here. because, as soon as they board the elevator, and the door closes, it drops.

not that far. not enough to harm. certainly enough to startle, especially after it evens out, before plunging a few more feet. the effect likely wears off after the fifth time it does this.

eventually, the elevator stops completely, and opens to a large, mostly empty room. in the center is a large circular stage, ringed with enough podiums for everyone that went on the excursion - living and dead. some of the podiums are covered in white sheets; one might notice that the number of dead corresponds directly to the number of covered podiums.

the Captain is present, of course. he sits on a raised throne separate from the circle, dressed in a suit a tiny bit different than his normal one. he sits with one leg crossed over the other, looking down at them with a completely neutral expression.]


You may take your places. [he gestures magnanimously, then holds up his hand; please reserve the expected freakouts for after his announcements, thanks.] The game is very simple. You have the evidence; put it together, and decide on the guilty party. Only a unanimous decision will bring you the justice you seek. [a faint smile] The one you always seek, at least.

[another gesture]

Questions. Comments. Threats against my life. Concerns.

Hey—-shut up! I don’t have bad fire safety! My fire magic never went wrong until that jerk came along!

[What was that about a hill??]

[A hand on her shoulder (which should've ICly happened like 30 comments ago but i wanted to see how it goes and then went to sleep)]

Rita, please. Just let it go.

[While everyone else telling her to drop it only added fuel to the fire, Natsuno asking her to do the same--in that voice, with that please--is like dousing the fire out with a bucket of water. She immediately quiets, though she shoots the captain one last frown before turning to Natsuno apologetically.]

Sorry. He's just so...

But yeah, let's just...get it over with and get out of here.
