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. ]

LET'S SEE SCORCHED STUFF

[pairtner]

[Alright, we have a plan of action, let's execute it:]

Given the large quantity of soot and scorch marks involved, there's a possibility the killer's shoes have residues or soot as well. In addition, we should see if anyone's clothing has any marks of having been in contact with fire.

Let's begin.

[bootyhunter]

[no fire and brimstone for him!

dandy is covered in dangan ronpa blood, but nothing on his person is burnt]

[hotpaprika]

[Jonathans clothes are clean and his shoes are ash free.]

[asymptotes]

[ No signs of burnt anything here! Just a guy who's vibing, as usual. ]

[onemillion]

[Well, given what he was looking at earlier, it's probably not a surprise at all that yeah, he's got soot on his shoes.]

...I did investigate the lobby.

[But there's no indication of anything scorched or burnt and he's wearing his usual attire so you'd definitely notice.]

[giddyundertaker]

[ The Undertaker is completely free of soot or burning. ]

[daimakaicho]

[ Hild's attire and 800 accessories all look free of damage, and her shoes look clean aside from normal wear from walking around. ]

[inaclearing]

[Brett's shoes and clothes are clean! There's a little bit of soot on the tip of his right thumb and index finger, but he looks at it and remarks:]

Oh - sorry. I touched the scorch marks I was looking at.

[visiblepattern]

[His shoes look like he sure was standing around near the body today but otherwise not like he was in a firefight of any sort; his dress is black today, but...]

You're welcome to check all the ruffles over, but you're not going to find anything.

[vholran]

[ His boots look clear, if that is where whomever is looking? ]

[pairtner]

[Yeah, that's it]

[vholran]

[ Alrighty then. ]

[hotpaprika]

[... What about the rest of his clothes?]

[vholran]

[ His front seems just fine. Black jacket has nothing wrong with it at all, except for looking a bit ratty from...maybe a fire? Though, it seems to have occurred awhile ago, before arrival.

In fact, his clothes seem just appear to be above reproach.

That being said, as Jonathan is looking, perhaps there may be something going on with his left pantleg, towards the side. ]

[daimakaicho]

[ At least the shoes are good, but what about his clothing condition? ]

[vholran]

[ His clothing condition seems in exactly the same shitty condition as before.

Including his pants. ]

[buriedstar]

[ His shoes are clean! And his suit is also clean. ]

[howveryglib]

[His boots are the same as usual, and they're clean!]

[allatonce]

[Her shoes aren't burnt, but they are slightly soot-y on account of wandering through the church. Also, like everything else, they're bloody.]

Walked through some of the scorch marks.

[fuckingguy]

[ As previously mentioned (in his own bitching), Nandor has ash on the hem of his all-black ensemble and the soles of his boots! On the other hand, there is no lingering scent of fire on him, and his outfit is pristine re: missing patches. It's probably comparable to the ash on Joy's clothes or Aiba's very small personage, except for the fact that his outfit is long as hell and he did check up close to see if anything was present in the blast zone. ]

[specialyellthing]

[Zindas clear of burning, but her boots are sticky]

[pairtner]

[Oh, huh.

What kind of stickiness could it be? Any residue or signs things got cleaned? Any color?]

[specialyellthing]

[Its like she walked through something—- no cleaning attempts. ]

[capreelcious]

[ Floyd's shoes are clean! ]

[sastruga]

[Looks like we're all scorch free here. Mafuyu's clean.]
