FIFTH TRIAL

[whimsicalism]

Is everyone finished? Good. It's time for a trial.

[The ride to the court room is uneventful this time. There's no breaking of bones or porcelain when you land. The podiums are rather empty, especially now that there's only twenty portraits even if there's twenty one podiums still. Huh. Fancy that! It's almost as if the Storyteller was still bitter.

Though, there definitely feels something off about the court room. It sort of feels like you're being watched but you're not sure.]

Seven is Dead. Time to find out who's responsible. Time for a trial!

Six kings?

[whimsicalism]

We seven kings rule Closetland. That's a secret but since you're so close to restarting it doesn't matter. Once this game is done for good I'll give up being a king. It'll just be Alice and me for forever.

Since the game's so close to restarting, why just explain it all, then?

[whimsicalism]

I would but I doubt my friends watching would let me get through it all.

[xxxx_me]

Okay. Then tell me later.

I want to hear all about your little game before it begins again. Because it won't matter anyway, right?

We're at the end of the story, when all the secrets finally come to light.

[whimsicalism]

Figure it out yourself. I've told you more than enough. I have Alice to take care of now.
