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. ]

If I can't even change into my alt-mode, the chances of someone being able to shapeshift seems low.

[ She nods. ]

I haven't been able to split off of myself this whole time, so it's probably sealed across the board.

Split off? Like making clones of yourself?
daimakaicho: (30)

[personal profile] daimakaicho 2022-06-25 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
... Sort of. It's more like fragmenting off portions of my myself into smaller iterations. Usually they're just 1/1000th of myself, but I can go smaller if I really wanted.

[ You might think his mind might go to the gutter but— ]

So you could almost be everyplace at once, huh? Noona is frighteningly powerful~
giddyundertaker: (When he would walk their way)

See~?

[ Nodding: ] I have been trying to transform into a bat or a vapor, just to see, you know? It has eluded me, like, three fucking times now.

It's a plane, right?

That's almost as handy as teleporting.

[ He misses his powers too... ]
capreelcious: (not good?)

[personal profile] capreelcious 2022-06-25 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I haven't been able to shift back into my merform either, so I don't think anyone shifted for this.
howveryglib: lookin intense and down to the right. (someday i'll react to emerald weapon)

[personal profile] howveryglib 2022-06-25 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Some of my very senses have been addled during my time here, so I am not particularly surprised.
dullshooter: (triple negative)

[personal profile] dullshooter 2022-06-25 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Your…dad senses…?

[Wdym Gaius]
howveryglib: he's lookin' maybe a little bored. maybe. (i'd rather be driving a mech honestly)

[personal profile] howveryglib 2022-06-25 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
…no. We Garleans have an extra sensory organ we call our third eye.

[he kind of points to the white thing in his forehead.]

I would prefer not to go into too much detail as to what the third eye does so as not to give anyone ideas. It has been working properly in some respects but not in others, I think—I suppose the best comparison I could give to other people is suddenly being unable to hear certain frequencies that were perfectly clear beforehand.
dullshooter: (:think:)

[personal profile] dullshooter 2022-06-25 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I see…I see…very interesting.

[He tuned out the second he denied dad senses. Sorry.]
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)

[personal profile] howveryglib 2022-06-25 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)


I am not even certain what “dad senses” would entail.
asymptotes: (whatever makes you happy)

[personal profile] asymptotes 2022-06-25 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Knowing where the nearest grill is, I guess?
howveryglib: gaius with a hand up to his chin, thinking deep thoughts (yeah... tacos sound great for dinner.)

[personal profile] howveryglib 2022-06-25 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)


I… cannot say that is something I have experience with.
dullshooter: (generalise much)

[personal profile] dullshooter 2022-06-25 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Getting a tingling exactly when it’s time to give a lecture?

You may be on to something, actually.

Bad jokes!
