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. ]

Comments

[ It should be a surprise to no one but he's laughing at this. ]

[vholran]

[ Seo Dawon's laugh is infectious, he'll begin to chuckle too. ]

[specialyellthing]

Nothin about this is funny. [shes sulking like a toddler]

[vholran]

Perhaps, perhaps not.

[ He says, letting out one more chuckle for the road. ]

[hotpaprika]

Don't pay the many mind, Zinda. They simply have the most dreadful sense of humor.

[sastruga]

...Ah.

That was supposed to be humor?

[it was hard to tell, they're just kind of laughing...]
