THIRD TRIAL
[ Two bodies this week. As a result, it's a little longer before Mayor Fontaine's voice calls out over the loudspeakers. ]
All right, that'll do, all of you. Get to the bathyspheres. Trial time.
[ There's fewer bathyspheres this week, aren't there? It's starting to get really noticeable. One by one, alone or in pairs, you descend into the depths. The bottom of the seafloor, a place no human life was meant to travel to unassisted. It's dark, until it isn't, the same bio-luminescent slugs as before lighting up the area and revealing the great glass dome in which the trial takes place.
Within, three more podiums have gone dark. They remain empty as you all gather around into the circle.
The projector clicks on, and you see the silhouette of Mayor Fontaine above you. ]
We all know why we're here. Florida Man and Cryptobro got themselves got. Up to you to figure out who did it, or... well, you know by now.

Genuinely hurt.]
I-I'm sorry, I just-
[Never mind he's returning to the podium. Dandy doesn't need him after all.]
no subject
Look, I get that you're worried about me, baby.
But if it's alright with you, I'd like to keep the sappy-sap crap outta the room- On my end, anyway.
[Watch him shoot himself in the foot with this later.]
I just wanna figure out whodunnit and get to cleanin' up, capeesh?
[He is literally covered in his boyfriend's blood...]
no subject
[His voice is dull. He can't let his emotions into this.]
no subject
[Dandy says these words ever so gently, unknowingly dealing another killing blow-]
This isn't about you.
[OUCH THAT SHIT HURT ME TOO?! WTF]
We're still good, I'm just...
Really out of it.
no subject
[He doesn't really believe his own words, but he didn't want to risk Dandy being more upset at him than he already is.]
