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. ]

Seriously? He fell for that?

[HE KNOWS HE SHOULD BE GLAD BUT MOSTLY HE'S JUST BAFFLED]

[guffawsungraciously]

Ah, but it is a fitting end for such a conceited buffoon, is it not?

[HE'S STILL CLAPPING, the only reason he is not letting out his biggest YEAH BOY ever is because he ain't the hooting and hollering type]

[scythegun]

Oh no, it certainly is, but I was expecting something... better.

[You know. Flashier! With more explosions!!]

[guffawsungraciously]

Ah, fair enough. It was nice to be able to watch the life leave his eyes, though.

[LIKE......]

[scythegun]

I won't argue that any! I've been waiting for an opportunity to kill him myself, but the important thing is that he's dead.

[why'd it have to be reika though......... now he can't just be mad at her and that's terrible.]

[ahelpingpaw]

She did say to me Jack wasn't a bright man.

[Well, he can't argue with the results, really]

[scythegun]

I cannot believe I overestimated him.

[it's like dealing with cumore all over again...........]

[scouserer]

Right, but now what? He's dead, but what does that mean for the crew and the dead? We have no way of getting whatever information he had, unless he was stupid and left tape recordings everywhere.

[guffawsungraciously]

He was very stupid, though.

[scouserer]

...you know what? Fair.

[magycks]

Did you not just see what we all just saw, Constantine? Do your wizard eyes gaze upon dimensions unknown? Of course he's that stupid.

[scouserer]

First off, I'm not a wizard, I'm a magician. Second of all--

[He just...flips her off.]

[magycks]

[ constantine, nobody has a middle finger in ducktales, she has no idea what the fuck this means ]

[scythegun]

Now we go through his things. We gather as much information as we can, and we find a way to sort all this out. I believe we can all work together long enough for that, ja?

[i mean this is gonna be real funny in like four minutes probably but!!]

[cethflayn]

We...we can! We can do that now! And he cannot hurt us with his dolls!

[RAID! THE! OFFICE!]

[ahelpingpaw]

Maybe you should be careful -- I mean, it wouldn't be strange if there are traps over there or something.

[It could happen!]

[cethflayn]

Then - then we find something that will spring the traps without us being caught in them! And then we find out all of his secrets and steer this ship out of the Bermuda Triangle, and help Mister Davy Jones, and...!

[She's just - they can do it! They have to do it!]

[ahelpingpaw]

...maybe for now we should just try to get out of here? Standing around here discussing it is...kinda not great.

[The rest of the ship is a more fitting place for it, really. Literally anywhere else that isn't the trial room.

[sivard]

It... does seem hard to believe that he really was that stupid.

[And here we are anyway.]
