SECOND TRIAL

Time's up, boys and girls. Please gather up your evidence and make your way to the vault door.

[ The process of heading to the elevator and crowding in remains the same as last week - Angel leads you all to the elevator car, then stays behind as you make your slow descent to the dome below. You might not even notice if you aren't paying attention, but... the cart is already less crowded than it was last week. You certainly won't be able to avoid noticing it if your numbers dwindle too much further than this.

When the doors open on the trial room, it's just as bleak a place as last week. ]


Take your places, won't you? And this time, you all know what's at stake. No more... funny business.

[The number of podiums displaying that red light is higher now - Damien, Lif, and Piers are all represented by blank spots now, no tasteful covers or anything normal to mark their passing, just a red glow and a gap in your number.

Cheery!

The screens raise up to the ceiling to give you all room to see, and the Professor's final words before the trial begins ring out: ]


Find the killer, leave alive. And killer? Try a little harder to stop them from doing that than the last one in your shoes. Call out for me if you require anything.

[ Welcome to your second trial. ]

I suppose they wouldn't have to worry about sunlight, but no one here has been nocturnal, right? At least, not as far as I can tell...

I've been spending more time in my room at night lately, but I never noticed anyone else being out that much at night. No one that didn't seem to sleep eventually, at least...

[Well, there's Jasper, but we can dismiss that one out of hand.]

Would it still matter if there wasn't sunlight?

I'm not really a vampire expert...I was always more of a science fiction kind of girl. If it was Frankenstein, that'd be a whole other story...

[ Back to the matter at hand-- ]

But I'd imagine they would still have to make an adjustment, even considering there's no sunlight here. No one in the first week really seemed to be struggling with our idea of a "diurnal" rhythm...

You assume one requires sleep in the first place. Of course, I do not make it a habit to understand all the intricacies of a heretic's routine, but I do not see it beyond belief that a vampire would not be susceptible to mortal exhaustion.

Sounds like this line of reasoning just generally throws the idea of biology out the window...

I fear that science of the non-magical persuasion does not hold much application in this situation, no.

Their weaknesses are garlic, crosses, and stakes, right? Though that's all hearsay...

If that were true here, something tells me they wouldn't be caught dead in a chapel...

There's vampires that go around acting like humans. I used to watch this show where they had fancy sunlight rings that they wore to go out.

[Vampire Diaries. She used to watch Vampire Diaries.]

I suppose far be it for me to dismiss anything as just "fiction," but...

[ It definitely, er, checks out, to some degree? Even if it sounds absurd-- ]

[she gestures at brian again]

Zombie. Right here. Everything is real and nothing is fake.
