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. ]

Truthfully speaking, I don't believe that's for certain.

At this time, I've leveled no accusations towards her. I thought it'd be fair to do some questioning as not only was there a shift from the familiar [ In what she was wearing ], but that she was one of the few who hadn't been present for Thursday night's activities.

You don't think the seance somehow did something weird to her, right? Since she was the only one unconscious during it...?

[deathmagnetic]

That wasn't something I considered. Though anything is possible, and I believe it's something valid to think about.

We'd just need to look for the signs.

[dokkalfheimr]

No, that's true, and I don't intend to argue. I just know you don't tend to do things for no reason and I was curious as to what that reasoning might be.

[she is having an easier time of it this week now that she's not on a shitton of ambien and no one is accusing plumeria of anything.]

[deathmagnetic]

[ Oh, well that made sense to him. ]

I see. Your line of questioning is fair, then, as you're right that I don't.
