FOURTH TRIAL

[bathymetric]

Alright, that's quite enough time. Move along towards the trial, if you would all be so kind. You know what's coming.

[ It's routine by now - go to the vault door, get let into the elevator by Angel, head down to the trial room... it's hard not to notice the losses on the ride down by now, though. Your numbers are starting to really dwindle, even if you're often spread out enough not to notice as much normally. The trial room and its podiums, too, seem more than ready and willing to remind you of the same. The red glow of the empty spaces is constant, potentially unnerving. ]

Remember that as there are two victims to consider, up to two votes may be counted at the end of proceedings. As always, I am but a direct address away, however rude you choose to make it.

Find the party or parties responsible for the deaths of your comrades. And to those parties: Good luck.

[ The screens rise!

Welcome to your fourth trial. ]

[Nova's sneakers are clean! Actually, is there such a thing as being too clean? Because there's almost no signs of wear on these shoes.]

[ New shoes? Well. A few questions can't hurt since they've been in this place awhile. ]

In the habit of cleaning your shoes religiously?

My boots aren't really made for standing, so I decided more comfortable footwear would be a good choice for this shitshow. As it turns out, I was right.

[valentinus]

...Maybe.

Or it could be you stepped in something that would make them difficult to keep wearing.
