THIRD TRIAL

[bathymetric]

[ 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. ]

The two aren't really related. What I'm saying is using these things is an insult when you're used to wielding actual power. But, she was willing to kill regardless. Just because whoever did looks to have used them doesn't mean that everyone would.

[fuckingguy]

Eh, agree to disagree on the first part.

[ he's used to having so many goddamn powers, but he was tempted, and clearly his experience is universal!!!!! ]

[capreelcious]

Yeah- I'm a mage and I tested it out, so.

[ He's got your back, Nandor! ]
