Final Trial

[ After a long while of investigation in areas that she definitely did not authorize you being in, the Mayor speaks up over the loudspeakers throughout the entire city. She's not using distortion at all, for what it's worth. ]

If you're all done rifling through my past and looting my things, there's a show that we really ought to get on the road, don't you think? Don't worry, I'm not going to come to you. You'll come to me.

[ And, one by one (along with your evidence), every single one of you is teleported into, rather than the underwater dome, a sectioned-off area of the Hall of the Founders. The walls around you are thick glass, and you can see beyond them that the Sparrows have begun restoring the statues. Massive stone renditions of the original Founders of New Rapture surround you, though some are still covered in cloth. A series of podiums have been set for you.

And within your final trial box is another box of frosted glass, ominous before you, just transparent enough to see a figure inside, sitting at a desk, her feet up as she lounges in a rolling office chair. ]


I love the dome, but there's nowhere for me to sit, you know? I was going to reveal this to all of you, it was going to be a whole big thing, but then you woke up early and ran off to do God-knows-what in a bunch of places I didn't need you in! Almost as if someone tipped you off to my plan.

[ Inside the glass case, the figure leans back in the chair further. ]

So you know what? Go ahead and talk amongst yourselves. Air my dirty laundry. Maybe I'll even join in in person. See if you can figure out what happened here, for starters.

[ Welcome to the final trial. ]

It's hard to say what "Brett with actual constructive skills" did.

[Maybe he was an architect? Or something with city planning? Sure as hell can't be just like him.]

But yeah, I get your point. Something must've happened. Or - or we're the ones meant to do it, but we were picked because of them...? [Not too sure about that one.]

Maybe it’s “Brett who ain’t as hard on himself” instead.

Come on - podcasts aren't exactly the backbone of society. And I'm not even a big one! Should've kidnapped a McElroy brother or one of the Night Vale guys, if they wanted commercial success...

Then put it this way: Why do podcasts in the first place if you're gonna be all like this about it, huh? Clearly there's something they saw in you they didn't see in any of the big ones. Apparently Water Fountain lady's "random selection" wasn't as random as we thought, so y'know.

[ He shrugs. ]

You're doing the podcast thing because you want to, right? Because it's fun? Then be proud of it.

[.....]

...I thought my last project turned out pretty well. All things considered. [.....] I just think it's a bizarre rationale for kidnapping someone, that's all.
