THIRD TRIAL

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. ]

Then we look for something else, together. Therion, are you seriously saying the Professor goading us to kill each other is the right option?

No. It's just an easy enough answer to reach for, when you can never really trust anyone but yourself.

It's like you said before, right? No one should be trusting each other down here. Otherwise you get a sword in your chest.

That's not...

[ She starts, but...well, anything that she says here would just ring hollow, considering the chaos of the afternoon.

She realizes she'd probably only be saying it for herself, at this point. So she trails off, instead.

You can't live like that. ]

[ Ema can't say it. But. ]

That's not how it goes every time. ...I refuse to give up on that.

[ ..... this is obviously way late now but i just found this and needed to reply because Yikes That Sounds Like Lloyd, to the point where he legitimately stops for a second. ]

... Hopefully you're able to make good on that.

If I have any say in it... I’ll do everything I can. I’m just sorry you won’t be there to see it.
