FIRST TRIAL

[ After a while, once all the appropriate clues have been found, Mayor Fontaine calls out again over the speakers. ]

Alright, citizens, pack it in quick and head to the back of the Hall of the Founders. You have business to take care of.

[ When they do reach the Bathysphere station, Eleanor is manning the controls, gaze quiet and even over the crowd. The hatch at the front of the strange elevator is open, and everyone is gestured inside. A series of small submerisbles are lined up, waiting to be ridden. ]

Just hop into the bathyspheres one or two at a time, and the system will get you where you need to go.

[ It's a long, cramped ride from here, but Fontaine's word is true. At least you can tune into the radio in the pod?

The bathyspheres take you down until even the few lights of Rapture are out of sight, down until lights of a different kind are visible - the reds and blues of bioluminescent sea creatures, a little too out of your way to make out what they are, blending to a strange sort of not-quite-purple as the bathysphere reaches its final destination: a glass dome built into the sea floor, about the size of an average house.

As one by one the bathyspheres arrive carrying the new citizenry of New Rapture, less natural lights than those of the creatures around you begin to click on in the dome. In the center, most of the space is taken up by a circle of podiums, each with an image of one of you engraved into it.

A projector of some kind kicks on, which combined with the lighting allows for the familiar silhouette of Mayor Fontaine at his chair to appear on the side of the dome, watching over you. ]


Time to do your best to figure out who killed the Diamond in the Rough. And do yourselves a favor: keep it interesting. I'm here if you have any burning inquiries.

[ And here it is.

Welcome to your first trial. ]
capreelcious: (and yet so far)

[personal profile] capreelcious 2022-06-25 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah- if there was a big struggle, you'd try to find a way out of it no matter what, especially biting if you're not used to fighting any other way, probably. In the ocean, you use your teeth to your advantage.

[ He shrugs like it's normal. The ocean is terrifying, y'all. ]
sixthnonsense: (☄ the fates aren't looking good for you)

[personal profile] sixthnonsense 2022-06-25 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Whaddya mean "in the ocean"? Livin' here ain't exactly normal.

[I AM SO SORRY THIS IS HAPPENING HERE.]
capreelcious: (life's looking)

[personal profile] capreelcious 2022-06-25 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[ FGKDFJ I'M CRYIN ]

I'm actually from the ocean. Not this one! But I'm a merman. The Eel title is literal.

[ A shrug and a lil toothy grin! ]
sixthnonsense: (☄ did i just do something right?)

1/2

sixthnonsense: (☄ THE OCCULT IS BULLCRAP)

[personal profile] sixthnonsense 2022-06-25 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW ABOUT LEMURIA, THEN?!

[WHY IS THIS HIS INITIAL REACTION.]
allatonce: (maybe i just never had a hero)

[personal profile] allatonce 2022-06-25 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, both of you! Shut the fuck up and focus!
sixthnonsense: (☄ worst. vision. ever.)

[personal profile] sixthnonsense 2022-06-25 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[Quieter now because he was rightfully called out:]

But this is a serious question...!
withagun: (i wanna pay it back)

[personal profile] withagun 2022-06-25 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Right near Joy, Hodaka flinches at the sudden shouting. He's between Dandy and Floyd, so he's certainly getting an earful today. ]
allatonce: (in superman when he looks)

[personal profile] allatonce 2022-06-25 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[sorry you got stuck in the clowshoes section of the podium circle, bro]
capreelcious: (not good?)

[personal profile] capreelcious 2022-06-25 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He huffs and rolls his eyes. ]

He started it.
capreelcious: (who will ease her woes and worries?)

[personal profile] capreelcious 2022-06-25 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
WE DON'T HAVE LEMURIA??? I'M FROM THE CORAL SEA, DUDE.

[ H E L P. Also help Gaius who has to deal with being in the middle of this shouting match. ]
sixthnonsense: (☄ have you heard my alien story?)

[personal profile] sixthnonsense 2022-06-25 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[He is now leaning on Gaius's podium to keep quiet.]

Ohhhh okay! That's super frickin' cool though, I always knew mermen were real!
capreelcious: (so tragic)

[personal profile] capreelcious 2022-06-25 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah- I'm the coolest.

[ He is also leaning on Gaius's podium to keep quiet. ]
howveryglib: gaius covering his face with his hand in a manner that can either be facepalming or the sads (i had a dream my trial series sucked)

[he is standing here and rubbing his temples.]
giddyundertaker: (Who you burying today?)

My house back home is sinking into the ocean but I dunno if that counts yet.
sixthnonsense: (☄ the fates aren't looking good for you)

[personal profile] sixthnonsense 2022-06-25 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Damn, dude. Have you gotten started on your scuba lessons?

I see...

[He does not see. (Sea???? Ocean puns???)]

It would explain the bite mark and its location, at least.
