Fourth Trial
[ 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. ]

[ This might sound genuine if his tone hasn't been in flats-ville since the boot thing happened. ]
In return, do something for me. I'd ask Misfire-yah, but he might need some time. There's a purple crystal in my room, there's no point in explaining it all now, but in short? It's my essence. Next time you try to talk to the dead, bring that and...
[ He takes a moment to think. ]
Usually the reagent is blood. I'll leave that up to you~. Either way? You should be able to summon me at least. You might not be able to talk to the other dead, but this is all perfectly normal for me. I don't mind passing on messages if it will benefit both of us.
Well, that is if this doesn't result in me being unsummoned, then I can't help you at all~.
no subject
I'll remember.
[Not saying anything more about ghost summoning since you-know-who is listening, but he does mean that.]
...And should Misfire feel up to it, I'll leave it in his hands.
[Since you guys are besties(???), Misfire might want to handle it personally.]
