SO YOU WANT TO STEAL SOME CHILDREN (Endgame Catchall)

[facultwist]

Welcome to the container for your endgame! This will be the place where you can perform your polterheist (we really love that portmanteau), and where you'll be able to commentate on the final trial!

ICly, the whole heist will take place Monday, while the final trial watch will take place Thursday. For anything not related to endgame, please continue to use the main deadland post!

She knows all of you, and knew who would kill who from the very beginning. And she's a current student here at Burnbriar, though I think she must have transferred very recently.

P-U-N-I-S-H-M-E-N-T-S?

[emptynester]

Yes. Punishments too.

[thatsplato]

[She looks at Vanity.]

[sweetsynergy]

[Deep breath.]

Okay then! She's dying. Good to know.

[thatsplato]

It was a question?

[sweetsynergy]

People get hung up on very strange things. But, you know, I've already got blood on my hands. Might as well make sure some of it's from someone who deserves it!

[rosewitch]

Even mine and Kohaku's? Even Hatsune's? Or did those go wrong this time?

[thatsplato]

A-L-L O-F T-H-E-M?

[emptynester]

She... designed all of them, yes. The Witch actually managed them.

[banishedfromparadise]

I have been wondering...

W-I-T-C-H-H-A-S-T-H-E-P-O-W-E-R-A-N-D-S-H-E-U-S-E-D-I-T?

[emptynester]

Yes. The headmistress has... some other abilities she said I "wouldn't understand," but all of the teleporting and flames and chains and moving mannequins come directly from the Witch.

[banishedfromparadise]

It did sound like she thought she was in control, but the Witch had other ideas.

But, if she's really the one who planned out how we all die...

[She takes control of the planchette again. She has so many questions about the interim headmistress' plan and how they've apparently been repeating it over and over in mostly the same fashion. Most of those questions, Isabella likely can't answer. But she can think of one to try.]

W-A-S-R-E-P-E-A-T-I-N-G-G-A-M-E-U-N-T-I-L-E-N-D-S-H-O-W-S-H-E-W-A-N-T-S?

[emptynester]

I wouldn't know, I'm sorry. She doesn't like talking about her past.

[ a beat. ]

It never felt like she was looking for things to go a certain way, though. It was more like she already knew, as if... she thought the way this went was inevitable.

[banishedfromparadise]

So... she might not necessarily be the one who chose it?

[Dorothy doesn't know what to make of this. She wants to be certain who their enemy actually is, whether it's the interim headmistress, the witch, or both. There's enough people who have killed here that she doesn't blame for their actions because of how they were manipulated... what if the interim headmistress is being guided too?

She's not yet convinced, but it's something to think about. Unless someone else has any ideas, though, she's not sure what else she can ask Isabella along those lines.]

[thatsplato]

[Well. This does the unthinkable. Misty casts a look back at the others.]

Not even I knew who I was going to--

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

What a shock.

[ this would be sarcastic if it were delivered by ANYONE else ]
