SIXTH TRIAL

[bathymetric]

[ It's the same as the other weeks. Two bodies, some time to look, and then Davy Jones comes around to take those of you who are left into the theatre and into the elevator. His expression is dark, difficult to read.

The trip down feels slower than ever. The elevator has gotten so empty, don't you think?

As it reaches its usual destination, the crew of the Dutchman is performing once again. The clouds above have started to darken the once clear tropical waters.

The podiums await you. ]

At yer places! Find who is responsible for all of this!

[ Your numbers can't support many more weeks of this, can they?

Welcome to your sixth trial. ]

Wait a second, why was there oil on his shirt? The only way that would've gotten on there if he was working with something mechanical, like the railroad cars themselves. But he wouldn't be that stupid, would he?

[A pause.]

Nevermind, just heard myself out loud.

Scott did this?

[ahelpingpaw]

...but when I talked to him during the spa party he specifically said Jack hadn't bothered him at all with any of the motives. I don't think... he was lying about that?

[Was Scott lying?]

I'm not saying he didn't do it, but if he did then maybe the--the motive wasn't why he did it?

[leaveittomother]

Maybe someone caught him and chased him to the arcade... I'm not sure about his intentions, though. You're right. He probably didn't do it for the motive.

I do not know if it was his shirt in particular. It was discarded nearby.

[scouserer]

Oh, so it wasn't his shirt, necessarily.

[HM....]

But--uh, who would just take off their shirt and leave it on the ground for people to find?

[sivard]

Maybe it was used to clean up a mess and wasn't actually worn?

Mods?

[cethflayn]

Well...maybe it could have been used to wipe the oil off of oneself?

[I had asked in the investigation log, but just to double check, does the shirt seem congruent with the idea that someone might have used it like a towel to clean themselves up?]

[bathymetric]

[ It's hard to tell, unfortunately! ]

[cethflayn]

...It is hard to tell if it was, in my opinion.
