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. ]

Tell us exactly what happened, then. Leave nothing out. We don't have time to keep playing around here.

I decided to do one last sweep of the ship that night, looking for any stragglers that might be out and about. The pattern is pretty obvious by now, and since there's so few of us, I thought I could discourage people from killing by sending them off to bed. But while I was up on the top deck, I heard the roller coaster suddenly move. And when I went to see what was going on, that's when I found Risotto.

You didn't hear it hit him? You didn't see or hear anyone else before that?
