FOURTH TRIAL

[bathymetric]

[ Well! That's sure something, isn't it? There may or may not be a lot of you excited to get down to business, but Jones does eventually move to collect you all and bring you to the theatre. It's a familiar routine by now, perhaps even comfortingly so given the irregularities of this particular killing.

Two of you gone this week. The elevator is started to feel downright spacious, don't you think?

A shanty, as usual, echoes from the crew of the Dutchman as you enter. The room is the same as it has ever been before you as the elevator settles into position. ]

To yer positions, passengers. Chins up.

[ Three more podiums claimed by the rust and wear.

You have your evidence, and you're going to need it before long. The music outside dies down.

Welcome to your fourth trial. ]

Comments

[queceracera]

Both Lorna and Flayn weren't.

[thisaroma]

[ nods ]

Lorna had fainted in the craft room a little earlier, so Flayn had me carry her back to their room before the seance.

[scouserer]

Ah...poor girl.

[Constantine's eyebrows knit together in concern.]

How're you feeling today, Lorna?

[bonesorter]

[... So, Lorna has not said a single word at the trial, still kind of getting used to being awake again after her momentary fall and passing out yesterday, only to end up waking up to the news of two people dying. So for a moment, she startles a little upon being addressed.]

I'm... I'm still tired, but I think I'll be okay for now.

[scouserer]

Mhmmm.

[Constantine nods, crossing his arms.]

Just so we can confirm--do you know when you came to?

[bonesorter]

This morning... I don't know what time it was, but I saw that Flayn had pulled up a chair near my bed, so... she must have been watching over me while I was unconscious?

[She asks, glancing at Flayn to confirm that since she doesn't actually know if that's why it was there or not.]

[scouserer]

Aren't they roommates?

[He looks towards Lorna, then glances at Flayn.]

I just wanna know where you both were last night--just to make sure we at least have an idea of everyone's whereabouts.
