GRAVEYARD aka the locked basement LOL

[ You're dead. Either you were ousted and seemed as an ally of the Bad Badger, or the actual allies of the Bad Badger actually got to you.

You remember dying. If you were already dead prior to this whole game... well, you're alive again.

Your death may have been terrible. Poison, being stabbed multiple times, blunt trauma to the head, hanged... whatever. You can still feel the pain.

But... Where are you? You see white walls around you. You're in a hospital...? You're in a room, but there's no one else but you and a man in a blue costume. He doesn't want to reveal his real head, so he hides behind a mask. A badger wearing a blue jester's hat.

And... another person? Has that other person been there all along?

Then you remember being in a mansion. Was that all a dream? You try to figure it out on your own, but you can't seem to come up with an answer. If by any chance you look into the badger's empty black eyes, you might feel like you're being taken to a completely different place. It's as if you can see the mansion again. You can see the people talking, but if you try to call out, nothing happens. They can't hear you.

You avert your gaze from the badger, and those images disappear.

There's so much happening. Pain, and this crazy badger.

You, on the other hand, aren't wearing a blue costume. You have a white dress on, with an opening at the back. That was definitely not what you were wearing... or was it?

You have so many questions. But at least you're not alone. Someone can answer those questions for you. ]

[ NOTE Your characters will be able to see the events happening in the game while in the graveyard as long as they're looking at the Proto Badger. They cannot participate in any of the polls, or try to converse with anybody that isn't in this room. ]

[the court record, of course!]

Sss, sss, sss! Check the date!

[Oh yes thank you.

The date... Oh. Huh. There it is. Maybe this would have saved him some wondering about Phoenix Wright and his daughter.]
I see...

What'd I tell you! This isn't our hallucination... it's his!

And we've got to escape it before we go down with it!

[WAIT. AGAIN.]

To be frank, I'm not sure if I quite follow that, ah... leap of logic.

...Logic jump? Which one...

...wait, I mean, no, this logic's perfect!

Specifically, the one that leads you to conclude the date in your newspaper proves your hypothesis entirely.

Sss, sss, sss! It's simple deduction!

We're all here with different perceptions of what "time" it is, right? What better explains this? That time-travel's possible, or that our perception is just wrong?

Occam's Razor says the perception explanation is a lot more reasonable than time travel. Therefore, some of us just must be misremembering things. So if it's not year 2027, what year is it?

It has to be 2027, because that's what year I remember it. And if it was really ten years or more before now, then I'd be back in elementary school learning basic math and how to do my ABCs. Obviously things I already know! Kahk-kahk.

In other words, the only explanation that makes sense is you all are remembering yourselves as you were years ago! And what's causing that? ...the badger's hallucination!
dekillerqueen: (Judging you so hard right now)

[personal profile] dekillerqueen 2015-03-11 09:40 am (UTC)(link)
In other words, if I understand this correctly... You believe you're right because you're the one who has to be right.

[she hid her face behind her hands a bit again, confidence faltering with his rejection.]

W-well, what's your explanation, then? We've been in here for days. This is the best intelligence available!

[That is to say: her own.]

I... admit I don't have an explanation I am satisfied with. Not at this time.

Kahk-kahk. I'm not exactly thrilled with imprecise explanations like "contagious hallucination," either... but whatever gets us closer to the truth is going to get us closer to getting out of here alive.

Really alive! Not, you know, fake alive. Or fake dead. Kahk.
