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. ]

Like a—- [oh no. now she’s gotten sad again. Time to turn away from the circle (thank god she’s on zinda island) and do a big ugly cry.

nandor treated HER like a flighty horse too!!!!]

[honeyedtea]

Ah– would someone mind handing her a... tissue... handkerchief...?

[ she'd hand over her own but approaching means both letting go of Mafuyu's hand and also going near the Gore Mace ]
