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.
[ Welcome to your third trial. ]

What on Earth are you talking about? I am aware that I haven not been quite well lately, but I wouldn't call myself queer! A-and I am hardly a criminal!

[Wow it's not an outright denial this week!]
T-that doesn't make me queer though, does it? Brett mentioned a husband I thought... I thought it was more normal...
[He looks a little fidgety and embarrassed.]

[He looks
Absolutely devastated.
Someone please fucking explain to him what queer means in the future he's going to be mortified for the rest of his life now.]

Queer's a term for anyone that doesn't conform to society's norms, in terms of sexuality or gender. It's basically only used that way nowadays.

He relaxes a tiny bit hearing that.]
Oh! I was scared that people like that were still seen as sexual deviants in the future.

[But uh, sure.]
