SECOND TRIAL

[bathymetric]

[ After sufficient time has passed, and you're all as ready to avenge dear Obi as you've ever been, Mayor Fontaine speaks. ]

Alright, that oughta do it. Pack up the evidence and head to the bathyspheres, same as last week.

[ There's yet again a line of spherical submersibles back there, ready to take off as the citizens of New Rapture climb aboard one or two at a time. And one at a time the bathyspheres descend into the abyss below New Rapture, deeper and deeper, once again to the dome on the seafloor, lit all around by bio-luminescent... slugs, of some kind? They're a little closer today.

The ring of podiums still sits in the center, just like last week. Two more podiums are going to stand empty. Two more dead. By the end of the day, best case scenario? It'll be three.

The projector clicks on. Mayor Fontaine is as here as he's gonna be. ]

You all know why you're here. Night Knight is dead. And I know plenty of you liked him alright, so don't let him down, hm? Or do. I'm here if you have questions.

[ Welcome to your second trial. ]

Is that what you're thinking of?

Pardon me. You look a little too excited.

[giddyundertaker]

Ah! Forgive me if it seemed that way. Mister Obi was a kind and loyal fellow. It's quite a shame to have him leave this world so suddenly.

[ He says this with great entirety in his voice, in spite of the slight grin that remains. ]

[sastruga]

...Do you always smile like that?

[giddyundertaker]

Hm?

[sastruga]

You always look happy. Even now.

[giddyundertaker]

That's what you think, hm?

[sastruga]

If I'm mistaken, please go ahead and say so.

[honeyedtea]

... Don't waste your breath, Mafuyu. He doesn't seem to be the sort who shows respect for the living or dead.

[sastruga]

...Yes.

You're probably right.

slightly nsfw

Might be better not to ask him too many questions about it, Sparkles-- [
