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. ]

Probably why they stopped, isn't it? That and the gnawing fear of discovery.

There were a lot of coins in the arcade still. They could have just realized it wasn't worth the effort.

[magycks]

I wonder why they didn't try gathering the coins up and stashing them away. No body, no trial, right?

[cethflayn]

Would we still not notice that Scott was missing?

[magycks]

Eventually. But we might not be thinking of the arcade as the scene of a murder until much later.
