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.

Dandy, on the other hand, doubles back, shaking his head.]
Sorry, didn't mean to.
[This is an important piece of information for him to remember.
That life, in all its facets, is definitely not the same for everyone.
They are going to have to be careful, moving forward.]

Seo Da-wack-ass is just tryin' to throw me off. 'S okay, though!
[Dandy grinds his (bloody) shoe into the ground.]

I don't think that meant you have to be technically alive to redeem it if they succeeded.
