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. ]

[…so because it’s a real pain in the ass to undo all his armor and he figured he might need to keep that in mind after last week he showed up to the trial in the first thing he saw. which is pretty easy to unbutton and take off, so he’ll go ahead! He’s got lots of old scars as you’d expect, but no recent injuries.]

in honor of hagakure's passing this is not a gagtag

Baelsar-nim, I'm not teasing you~. [ Okay but now it sounds like he is smh. ]

It does make things easier.

That was the intent, yes. I did not wish to waste time undoing my armor when I could easily just wear something more practical.
