VOTING RESULTS

[neidvoll]

[ Miata looks straight into the crowd, her back to the flames. Her face is twisted with anger, but also...a little sad, if you look closely. ]

...congratulations. By a majority vote, Bill Cipher has been found guilty for the murder of Urashima Kotetsu.

Bill, a few moments for your last words.

[billarious]

[Bill's paralyzed, does he get to have last words...? Pretty sure he already said plenty of them earlier, who wants to hear this loser talk anymore.]

[dhaosu]

[ He just wants to see Bill suffer in some way, actually. If anything, he's looking on in silence, and waiting for the execution to drop. ]

[muties]

Get wrecked you piece of shit dorito.

[ his hair is a dorito does that count enough to call him a dorito oh i don't care ]

[jackhole]

[ just pokes bill in the shoulder ]

Man... that stuff is strong.

[ he probably had to help carry bill out since all the teens are bsoding, huh. well, that sure was fun! ]

[dereban]

[ As angry as Inaba is about this murder, about this trial, about everything, she can't bring herself to care. Bill reminds her of someone that she hates from the very core of her being; someone who would murder just to see other people's reactions, to see if they, themselves, a being that couldn't feel anything, could possibly have emotions.

A thing like seeing this just for the sake of entertainment is just sickening and all she can do is flip him off, not even daring to say a single word.

Actions speak louder than words, after all. ]

EXECUTION: ......................

[vicedirector]

[ The fire burns red and then a blinding white.

Bill wakes up in a large, empty, and very monotonous white room. As he realizes where he is, he starts to get up but finds himself helplessly bound to a black chair in the center of the room. Is it the center? It’s hard to tell with how perfectly white the room is. Bill struggles for a moment and then resigns himself, leaning back in the chair and tries to take in his surroundings. He can’t even see where the walls meet the floor because even the light is perfectly white. The only sound in the room is a high pitched but quiet electrical humming.

He sits there... and he sits there... and he sits there...

...For even longer still. Just as he’s beginning to get bored, the sound breaks. Somewhere in the room--no, everywhere around him--he can hear shuffling and shifting like someone moving around somewhere. Someone clears their throat and a voice begins to read in the driest voice imaginable.

This goes on... and on... and on... and on...

At first, Bill laughs and makes snide comments, having a hopelessly one sided conversation with the bodiless voice in the room. Not once does the voice ever stop nor does it ever make any mistakes, reading each thing flatly and perfectly without pause.

Bill begins to become agitated and starts to struggle against the magical force holding him down.

Finally, he manages to break free--or rather, he’s set free--and he kicks the chair over, waving so long to the voice and heading... Well, in a direction. It’s not like he has much of a choice in this place so he sets off in a random direction and tries to find a way out of this boring hell.

The voice goes on… and on… and on…

As Bill travels, he tries to learn all that he can about this place which really isn’t much. At one point, he comes to the stunning, infuriating realization that room isn’t even white; it’s off white. And that’s it. That’s literally all there is to learn in this place. There’s nothing else to do.

Frustrated, he continues to travel, growing more and more bored as his time continues. Really, it’s a miracle he’s even been able to make a game of this for as long as he could. He can’t even make anything out of the phonebook reading that has still never ended.

When he can’t take it anymore, he begins to run, trying to find an end to this place if not a way out but there’s nothing. This place is nothing.

Bill lets out an enraged scream and begins to scratch at his face, his arms, and legs, pulling at his hair, ripping at his clothes, and literally tearing at himself in shreds. Shreds? Bill laughs. He isn’t even three dimensional in this world. This world is boring, off white, monotonous, and flat.

When its’s over, all that’s left is the shredded, torn pieces of Bill on the floor.

The voice goes on... and on... and on... ]

((Characters are free to disperse at this point.))

[dhaosu]

[ He watches, every single moment of it, and he wonders if this is what Bill desired. Probably not. ]

...

[ He's got nothing to say here. Time for him to go off elsewhere. ]

[jackhole]

[ rhys just watches for a while, before stuffing his hands in his pockets when it's done and shrugging. ]

That... was honestly kind of boring.

[ and then he'll walk off. ]

[herbgrace]

[Well, that was a thing. Lithuania will go and get Urashima's sword before she leaves; she doesn't want it to vanish with everything else.]

Deathshocks

[vicedirector]

[ Members of Lust will get splitting headaches (sensitivity to light) and dizziness.

These will not fade until they go to sleep for the night. ]

A Thing

[vicedirector]

[ Anyone out near midnight will see something burning in the bonfire.

>Investigate? ]

[dhaosu]

[ ...What is it? ]

[sobowtor]

[Poland couldn't sleep anyways after Bill's total betrayal. So. She's out for a night ride.]

What's that?

[vicedirector]

[ It's small, rectangular, wooden, on a (blackened and burning) cord...

It's a talisman. ]

[dereban]

[ WALKS INTO THIS THREAD ]

... Oh, you guys are out late. [ but let's look at that talisman... what's the symbol on it? ]

[vicedirector]

[ It's turned over on its back, so it's showing the little symbol right side up. Unless someone wants to stick their hand into the fire. ]

[dhaosu]

... A talisman?

[ He wonders... does it look like Miata's? Is he able to tell??

Also can he put out the fire with a quick water spell. Because. If so he'll take it out so he can look at it. ]

[vicedirector]

[ All the talismans look the same from the back, so no, he's not able to tell.

And no, the water spell works for about 3 seconds before the fire roars again. Unless he can be really quick? ]

[friendboned]

[HE IS!!!]

[thebonezone]

[It Follows: sans follows papyrus around edition

brought to you by sans, every single day, forever, in murder town]

[vicedirector]

[ While that party investigates the fire, skelebros will also notice that the lights in the chapel are on. ]

[friendboned]

[TO THE CHAPEL]

SANS!! I THINK SOME GHOSTS BROKE INTO THE CHAPEL THIS TIME!!

[thebonezone]

[this is probably a bad idea. but if he doesn't ask papyrus will, so.]

huh. more ghost crimes. ...should we go check it out?

[jackhole]

[ hello friends what's happening here

have a rhys and dumpy showing up next to the skeletons and running a hand through his hair ]

Hey, heeeey. I'm coming with you two since, uh. Reasons, I guess? Yeah.
