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. ]

Voting Time

[bathymetric]

[ Eventually, Fontaine's voice speaks out over the uh. Kerfuffle. ]

Ah, I missed this. Alright, feel free to put in your votes while you still have hands. Majority rules, you can technically pick two culprits, but uh...

[ You can't see it, but he's gesturing to All Of You. ]

[bootyhunter]

[slams on vholran's name with his un-stabbed hand!!!]

[pairtner]

Vholran

[Well this has been an exciting day, huh]

[inaclearing]

Can, uh, can someone get mine?

[He's trying to stop Dandy's bleeding, all the way on the other side of the circle from his actual podium!]

[sastruga]

Mm, I got it.

[She's like two podiums away, it's cool.]

[inaclearing]

Thanks.

[He's sure it doesn't really matter percentage-wise, but like, let's reach that majority as fast as possible so this can be over!]

[sastruga]

Ah... I didn't think I would vote the same twice in a row...

[As she just goes ahead and presses her button.]

> Vholran Igniseri

[specialyellthing]

[zinda staggers out of the scuffle, slams the vote into her podium ---

Vholran

grabs her other boot from Aiba's podium, and finally comes to rest back at Nandor Island to put her shoe back on.]

>VHOLRAN IGNISERI

[Then, once that's done:]

Oh, it's right there in his name, huh? Igni.

[giddyundertaker]

[ Have you ever seen someone whack a voting button with the business end of a spear? Because that is what he did to Vhloran's. ]

[hotpaprika]

Vholran

[...]

Absolutely pathetic

[onemillion]

[There's no hesitation; despite whatever complicated feelings he might have, there's no denying that Vholran killed two people.]

>Vholran Igniseri

Should anyone require someone to input their vote, I'll take care of it.

[As long as it doesn't require him going near the fight that's hopefully winding down by now???]

[capreelcious]

>VHOLRAN IGNISERI

[buriedstar]

[ Like the other two times he votes as soon as it's called. ]

> Vholran Igniseri

[howveryglib]

[he's still trying to keep Vholran under control, uh...]

--Could someone handle this for me. You are all well aware of what I will be voting.

[onemillion]

I'll get it.

[Gaius's podium is like, almost halfway around the circle, but it's the side without the fighting so it's fine!! Give him a moment to get there—]
