successives | pc catchall for stephanie.

Unless they feel like being even more unhelpful than Hal, which is a low bar.

... well, even if they're not, at least they can't hide from us then.

...I just hope they can answer more than he usually did.

... yeah.

People are already going to be mad, and trials tend to be crazy even without that added on top of it.

...Maybe we'll get one like Beau's and they'll let us look at the body.

[she

does not realize this is the norm yet]

[ ... ]

Did... you guys not get to look at the body?

—You, too?

[why did she truly come from the game that hated all of its participants]

How... did you guys figure out what happened, exactly...?

[...]

We didn't, unless the person who did it felt generous and spilled.

[

yikes ]

Why was your host Satan?

Because he was programmed by a bunch of eternal beings who would have gone around destroying universes if they didn't get to run a yearly bloodbath.

[ah.]

Yikes.

[ she just says it out loud now ]

Yep.

[Anyways! Moving on:]

Well... If it was that way for you, maybe they'll keep to the pattern of actually letting us investigate stuff.

... hopefully. Especially since there was nothing to look for today?

[ which still weirds her out but ok ]

Yeah. Which is weird, right? I mean... Why would they hide it from us?

I dunno... maybe it was like this in some other place?

Unless we are all just stepping over a body.

If we've been wandering around for hours and have somehow collectively missed a body, we deserve this at least a little.

[ ... ]

We missed a body in a piano once...

—Who put a body in a piano?!

They're not here.

[

wait. no that was belph's murder.

steph does not correct herself. ]

Well, whoever they are, they suck.

[She wrinkles her nose for a second, before:]

Wait - it's not the same piano that's sitting in my cabin right now, is it? Please tell me there was not a body in that piano at any point in time.

[ she shakes her head. ]

Nah, it was a different one. We had a music hall with different instruments.

...At least there's that.

[Even if she still sounds! Annoyed!]

... let's just assume there won't be a repeat.

[ BELPH!! ]

Anyone who touches the piano gets punched.

[also, murdering is bad, but.]
