Fourth Trial

[bathymetric]

[ After the evidence (and what a large batch of evidence it is, this time) has been gathered up, after actually patiently waiting a longer time than usual to make sure everything's been grabbed, the speakers over New Rapture crackle to life. ]

Time's up, everyone. You know where to go.

[ The lower number of bathyspheres, as you descend, is starting to become really notable, isn't it? The descent is the same as ever, lower and lower into the sea. The bioluminescence of those slugs on the ocean floor is almost brighter today, somehow, and some of them have even crawled up the cliff face around you as you pass them.

The dome approaches, slowly as ever, gleaming red in the darkness. The bathyspheres land in a row, doors opening one by one to reveal the familiar sight of the trial room, three more podiums now darkened. ]

Take your places, ladies and gentlemen. You've got a doozy of a situation to discuss. Ass Man and Silver Fox are dead. You know what happens if you can't figure out whodunnit.

[ Welcome to your fourth trial. ]

[ Sniff checks aren't really a thing that's ever acceptable, but since it's Misfire it's less terrible than could be. Some things to note since Misfire has eyes, Seo Dawon is not in a suit today. He's in a long sleeve black shirt and cargo pants, rocking the casual look for once. Or more casual than a full suit at least. ]

I wasn't going to attend trial dirty after all that mess. [ Mostly he smells clean because he showered before trial (something Misfire probably saw himself). There's the faintest smell of smoke but no gasoline or oil smell. ]

Of course. You have standards to uphold, after all.

[It’s a little jokey, but like, also, fair enough.]

Feels kinda wrong to see you out of the suit, though. Not that it’s bad — I don’t think that’s even possible.

[Seo Dawon’s probably the kind of person to look good in anything?]

[ He flashes Misfire a dazzling smile. ]

It's not~.
