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. ]

Please, Jonathan, that is for the group to decide.

... Also, we have no leads, so my answer is yes.

[hotpaprika]

I simply just do not see how it would help-

[specialyellthing]

We'll have everyone else close their eyes! [SHES STILL JUST HOLDING HER SHIRT UP TO SHOW HER STOMACH---]

[allatonce]

[she's looking disrespectfully]

[fuckingguy]

Would it help if Misfire checked you?

[hotpaprika]

I-it's not the taking off my outer clothes that is the issue, it's just...

[fuckingguy]

... Yes?

[hotpaprika]

... Ladies, please look away

[He hesitantly takes off his suit, averting his gaze from everyone else, and

SO... you know how Victorian underwear works? This might be what he was saying that he's not sure how it would help.]

[fuckingguy]

... Ah.

[hotpaprika]

Please do not ask me to undress any further, I do not think I could handle it.

[He does not want his dick out!]

[buriedstar]

We could just blindfold him?

[hotpaprika]

H-how on Earth would that help?!

[fuckingguy]

Well, you would not see all of our naked bodies that way.

[specialyellthing]

Makes sense to me--
