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.

Mmm.
I'm wonderin' if the two of 'em were planning something together. Like... About usin' their brand spankin' new abilities to...
[OH HE HATES THIS SHIT-]
Try and catch the killer or somethin' stupid like that.
These things tend to happen around the same time each week. Don't take a genius to figure that out, baby.
Then whoever it was found two easy targets, providin' that they knew what they were plannin' to do.

[Wait. Remember who we're talking about.]
...Yeah, I'll buy it.

That shitty plan just screams the two of them.
no subject
"We have these powers and there's two of us, so we'd totally stop the killer!" or something like that.
[...At least they were sticking to the buddy system???]
no subject
[Can you be pissed as hell at your idiot boyfriend and miss him in the same breath... Yes, if you are Dandy, you can. You know how much he hates being the singular braincell in the relationship???]
So even if they were trying to stop the perp, chances are that they fumbled the ball. Hard!

It's either that or they had the same dumb idea and ran into each other.
