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. ]

[The spirit... actually kind of looks at Jones curiously, before shrugging.]

Well... I can't say that it's not disappointing to hear... but this is fine.

I don't consider this a loss, after all.

[scythegun]

What do you mean by that?

[magycks]

And why's that?

[bonesorter]

I may not be able to feast on the living anymore... but the dead is still an option...

[uh]

I doubt that the robot will taste good, much like how the homunculi didn't... but that girl from last week, or... I could eat the one from last night a second time over with her soul... ha ha... ha ha ha ha...!

[paucipan]

[...!]

Don't you touch them!

[not like plumeria can do much at the moment but holy shit??? leave our friends alone???]

[leaveittomother]

Why should we care?

[thisaroma]

[ hey fuck you!! ]

[leaveittomother]

[What, Alice is dead. She can't even become a hamburger.]

[thisaroma]

[ IF ALICE WANTS TO BE A HAMBURGER SHE WILL BE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT HAMBURGER OF what are we even talking about ]

[CANNIBALISM DECUS]

[thisaroma]

[leaveittomother]

[cannibalism is love]

[jibunwo]

Just disappear already.

[thisaroma]

[ ohhhhhhhh ]

Don't you even think about touching her.

[magycks]

[ YOU KNOW SHE ACTUALLY DOES HAVE THIS CHECK FOR A BILLION DEAD SOULS BACK IN HER ROOM............ ]

[deathmagnetic]

A useless threat. I doubt you'd be allowed that leniency.

[silentscout]

[This trial is doing an awesome job of hitting all of Lalli's personal trauma buttons, thanks.

He's hissing at the curse now, not unlike how a cat hisses.]

[cethflayn]

[I mean

I already freaked everyone out once I'm not going to do it again so Flayn is now very visibly horrified and crying.]

[sivard]

[This is horrifying in so many ways.]
