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. ]

[ How thorough are we checking? He'll take his suit jacket off and roll up his sleeves but he's not going to do anymore than that. Seo Dawon has no sign of injuries, and assuming you're looking at his hands since those are being offered, he has a sigil on the ring finger of his left hand. ]

[capreelcious]

[ As thorough as he can without people kicking up too much fuss! He does spot the sigil, though. ]

Neat tattoo thingy!

[buriedstar]

It's a magical sigil, as much as that means here.

[giddyundertaker]

[ Someone is not impressed by its appearance. ]

But what did that mean before you got here...?

[buriedstar]

[ wow? ]

It's for a contract. Mages aren't beast tamers, but we can still make a pact with some summons depending on their nature.

[bootyhunter]

[Angry, because!!! Why is everyone here so hot, it's ruining his already (nonexistent) chances...]

Show off.

[buriedstar]

Like I told Joy, there's some things I can't help~.

[ Why is he like this. ]

[bootyhunter]

Stop sparkling.

[Dandy...]

You're doin' it on purpose.

[buriedstar]

I can't change my face?

[ Dandy is valid. ]

nsfw ig

[bootyhunter]

It's not your face I'm talkin' about, bro!

[Nobody needed this information! No one.]

The nipples are like the eyes of the chest!

And yours were starin' right at me.

[sastruga]

...Do you have to keep speaking?

[bootyhunter]

Sorry.

[He feels bad about calling out her friend, okay...]

[honeyedtea]

[ honestly thank god mielle is out of it because this really might have finished her off for good ]

[bootyhunter]

[FAIR ENOUGH!!!]

[prompocalypse]

[Maybe it's better we don't find the culprit actually...]

[bootyhunter]

[LOOK...!!! HE'S FOLLOWING ORDERS.]

[hotpaprika]

... The nipples are the eyes...?

[What the fuck is he HEARING?]

[bootyhunter]

[NOT GONNA GIVE HIM AN ANSWER BC HE TOLD MAFUYU HE'D BE QUIET!!!]

[hotpaprika]

[HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S SAYING but those combination of words is giving him the worst mental image ever he hates it.]

[allatonce]

[tugs on Dandy's arm and keeps tugging until he bends down to her level:]

Dandy. Be quiet.

[bootyhunter]

I SAID I'M SORRY, I SAID I'M SORRY!

[SHE IS RIGHT!!!]

I'm ready to get back on track, baby!

[buriedstar]

[ He deadpans and lifts up his sleeve to play with a golden bracelet around his wrist. ]

I thought all effects were disabled in this scenario....? [ Dandy has at least succeeded in throwing him off, nice. Eventually: ]

You're not my type.

[bootyhunter]

I know, I know! We've been through this before.

You're not mine either!

[fuckingguy]

Like Twilight.

[bootyhunter]

Like what now?
