THIRD TRIAL

[bathymetric]

If you have time for a grisly operation like that, I think you've had all the time you need to gather evidence. Please proceed to the door to the trial room elevator as quickly as possible.

[ Once you arrive, it's the same song and dance as the last two weeks. Angel helps you all get through the vault door and into the elevator, and watches as you all make the slow descent to the dome below. Standing in the elevator is more than a comfortable fit now, even for the largest among you. A few more of you lost and there'll be room enough to pace in here.

But maybe you don't want to think about that.

The dome of the trial room is the same as it's been, the only change the dull red glow coming from the two newly-unoccupied podiums. The screens above flick on, and lower down to make an address. ]

You know the score by now. Find Seteth's killer and you can all go free. Fool them all, killer, and you'll have your life and your reward. Other than that, whatever happens here is between all of you. Call for me if you need anything.

[ The screens rise again, leaving you here.

Welcome to your third trial. ]

[ Rin snorts. ]

I mean, I guess we could, but I just meant asking about what weapon experience everyone has. If someone gets evasive about it, we can just have Birkin insult them until they break down and admit whatever it is they're hiding.

[Casually just gonna turn aside a little and stifle a noise into his hand.

You can't prove he laughed.]

I am here to do my civic duty of tanking my reputation and not letting people kill us all, you're welcome.

[emberserker]

Well, I use axes, because that's what my ARMANOX has. I've fought a lot who do have swords, but it's never been something I've done myself.

[five bucks it's because swords have ernesta germs]

[That actually gets Shelley to laugh for a moment. Thanks for the levity, Rin]
