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. ]

cw scott pilgrim's stupid little canon

[queceracera]

Oh, thank god. Finally, something normal.

[BODIES??? AIN'T SUPPOSED TO STICK AROUND???? WHEN YOU DIE????]

[scouserer]

What?

[queceracera]

The bodies have been freaking me out! You're supposed to turn onto dust or something when you die!

[Otherwise your rating goes up.]

[ahelpingpaw]

Maybe you two are from the same world and you both never found out until now.

[Do you want to see the ol' corrupting dragon corpse in a mountain, Scott, Albedo was hanging out over there]

[queceracera]

Oh, no. I turn into coins when I die.

[He absolutely says this like it's nothing notable.]

[scouserer]

...The more you say, the less it makes sense.

[ahelpingpaw]

...Scott, are you sure you're human?

[At this point he just has to ask]

[sivard]

[......................]

I'd agree, but that only happens to Malakhim, not humans.

[cethflayn]

Wh - that is not normal!!!!

[queceracera]

It's totally normal. I mean, usually it's coins where I'm from, but turning into dust isn't unheard of.

[cethflayn]

[??????????????????????]

Scott, that is not how dying works.

[queceracera]

It's just practical! If you're at a tournament, how else are you supposed to clean up??

[deathmagnetic]

[ you know

he's from a canon called jojo's bizarre adventures but he's gonna be judging scott right now ]

[hellahighwater]

...He was talkin' about homunculi the whole time. Fuck.

[ FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST CONFIRMED?!?!?! ]

[scythegun]

[YOU CAN'T BLAME DAL AND ME FOR THIS ONE!!!!!]

What do you mean by that?

[dokkalfheimr]

[we take no responsibility for fullmetal albedo over there, jesus christ]

[hellahighwater]

Albedo, he— uggghhh this is so obvious now... He was talking about alchemy with me, way back. About...mastering life or something? Finding the truth of the universe. He mentioned chalk being pure, to like...create people.

I guess he was talking about himself.

[jibunwo]

At this point, that's not even the strangest thing I've seen here, much less anywhere else.

[cethflayn]

[sitting her boggling at this

Is that how Rhea made her Sothis vessels?????]

[leaveittomother]

Mages, alchemists.... What next, I wonder.

[scythegun]

...Well, I suppose his world does work differently... How bizarre.

cw: vore

[silentscout]

...

Could he have used alchemy to turn into something and eat people?

[leaveittomother]

Homunculi are made of chalk? Jack didn't say anything about that... I thought they were flesh.

[Huh. Interesting.]

My Jack. Not our Captain. [To clarify that!]

[hellahighwater]

Not where Albedo’s from, apparently.
