You find yourself in a beautiful red room, the edges of each wall adorned with real gold accents. At the center of the room is a long table, several chairs on either side of it, perfect for very serious conferences. In the middle of the table is a plate of strawberry jam tarts atop it, one per teammate present.

In the corner of the room is a hole in the ground, only large enough for a small animal to fit through. Next to it is a flat iron bar, curled at its tip, where a golden bell has been hung from it.

Finally, on one wall is a large poster which reads (or you find read aloud to you, if you cannot read):

John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt,
His name is my name too.
Whenever we go out,
The people always shout,
"There goes John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt!"

...What kind of imprisonment are we talking here? I think we should specify that just to be sure.

In a jail cell I guess? I don't know anything about that stuff.

For the queen, that might mean something like a dungeon and stale bread.

You think so? That would be cruel...

We can specify that it's a nice jail cell.

She does seem very medieval about these things, doesn't she? I wouldn't trust her to have a full grasp on human rights.

But we don't exactly want him living in luxury either! Honestly, I kinda want to know how he was able to replace the first guy so easily...

It's not like people had to know what the first guy looked like. They just had to know his name. Names are pretty important...

Did you miss the part where even his family couldn't tell the difference? What was even the motive to steal the first one's identity anyway?

Maybe there's something important that only John Jacob... whatever can do.

Something important... either way, these are questions we should ask!

Does it really matter either way? I thought our answer was pretty good already.

You need to study every detail!

That's right. How are we supposed to judge fairly otherwise?

...Okay... Well, I guess you guys have that covered.

...Where was the first one during all this, anyway? Was he just letting all this happen?

Yeah, exactly! And why would the second want the family members to disappear?

...I'm asking the rabbit. I'd say this is an important detail.
