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. ]

Comments

[ltcommandroid]

[Shrug. He doesn't know either, but Magica brought it up and they usually do one of these every trial anyway. May as well just do it and see if they find anything.]

I am willing, if there are no objections.

[leaveittomother]

I have known. Let's continue.

POCKET CHECK

[ltcommandroid]

Very well. Everyone, please turn out your pockets.

[It's decided, then! Data will empty out his own pockets first, placing his device and tricorder on his podium as per usual, before starting around the circle.]

[silentscout]

[He'll cooperate but all he has on him is his device. There's not even any trial cookies this time.]

[sivard]

[All Zaveid has on him is his device in his pockets, and the gun he's never taken out of the holster since last week's post-trial gathering.]

[jibunwo]

[There is nothing suspicious in Lelouch's pockets--notebook, pen, device, and taser as usual.]

[magycks]

[ Today, Magica's pockets and the various hiding spots within her cloak contain:

A GUN OH FUCK wait she took that out at the start of the trial, it's fine.
Her device.
The handkerchief chain Sara got from the vending machine.
A pack of cards taken from the casino.
Her raggedy-ass notebook.
A sharp pencil.
A pen.
A taser.

No essential oils today! Also, her amulet is on and she straight up has a spear with her which she occasionally leans on like a staff. Yes, she took this from Plumeria's stuff, and yes, it is taller than her. ]

[ltcommandroid]

May I see your spear?

[we're doin a close check on weapons now I guess!]

[magycks]

Well, I set myself up for it, so...

[ It's pristine! I mean, I can't actually speak for how Plumeria used it, but it can be guaranteed that nobody stabbed a bunch of video games with this spear. ]

[ltcommandroid]

[He'll check it over for a moment, then hand it back]

Thank you.

[leaveittomother]

[Reika has her knife (which she flashed earlier in the trial), some vending machine coins, a pen, some crumpled pieces of paper and a thick stack of folded fancy homemade paper from the vending machine. Also her device, obviously.]

This seems rather useless.

[ltcommandroid]

May I examine your knife more closely, Reika?

[leaveittomother]

[She shakes her head.]

I don't think that's needed.

[ltcommandroid]

I would like to check any weapons for potential damage from impact with the arcade machines.

[cethflayn]

[Flayn's too busy trying to keep Lalli from completely falling to pieces, but she'll outturn her pockets real quick.

Just the unmarred Cadeuces Staff on her person and her personal device, nothing else.]

[ltcommandroid]

[Honestly Data was pretty willing to give you and Lalli a pass for a minute, but he nods gratefully when Flayn does so anyway!]

[cethflayn]

[Look she's going to be honest to a fault no matter what, as long as you're not yelling at her for trying to comfort a man who's about to die, you're fine]

[scouserer]

[Constantine has:

- A pen and notebook
- A bunch of crumpled up pieces of paper
- Empty, dusty vial of demon blood
- A bundled up scarf
- Two knives, spotlessly clean
- Several crumpled boxes of cigarettes
- A bottle cap

Oh boy!]

[ltcommandroid]

[So no dings on them knives?]

[scouserer]

[Nope! None at all. Doesn't even look like they've been used.]

[scythegun]

[Yeager's got his device, some paper and a pen, and he pulls out a couple of the vending machine knives as well.]

I had these with me last week, you'll recall. Feel free to check them over.

[They're both clean and free of any dings or damage.]

[guffawsungraciously]

[Jasper has hard candy, a pen, and a notebook, and he has two swords on his belt, but like. That's it.]

[ltcommandroid]

May I check your swords as well?

[guffawsungraciously]

Most certainly.

[He hands them over, and there are no traces of blood on them. Like, they're not brand new and have clearly been used, but there's no evidence of recent damage or anything.]

[ltcommandroid]

Thank you for your cooperation.

[After checking for arcade nicks, he returns them!]
