Sixth Trial

[bathymetric]

[ After a time, as always, your investigation is interrupted by the Mayor's now-familiar voice, calling out to you over the loudspeakers. ]

And that's gonna be time. Pack it in, everyone, bring what you're gonna bring because it's trial time.

[ There are so many bathyspheres missing, you cannot help but notice, as you all pile into the station for your standard trip down to the trial room. Your number has dipped to about a third of its original size - a fact that becomes even more evident when you reach the circle of podiums at the bottom of New Rapture's ocean trench. ]

You all know why you're here. Someone killed Pillage Idiot, and it's your job to figure out who. This is your sixth one, I sure hope you have the procedure down by now.

[ Welcome to your sixth trial. ]

Sunlight, stakes, decapitation, religious imagery, garlic, running water sometimes...? Depending on the myth, silver. I know some of those applied to him before, but stopped working here...

But he could still be durable. I mean, Misfire still was...

He seemed unable to enter the new sections of the city without explicit invitation – or rather, he refused to try. I'm not sure if he truly was limited in the ways he believed himself to be. But you're quite right – there's no reason to assume he was completely limited in all his strengths.

[capreelcious]

Yeah. Like, even if he doesn't have the vampire super strength some of 'em have, he's still pretty tough in his own right.

He couldn’t enter our suite until I invited him in, either.
