Take...Responsibility?

[kingmakereffect]

Unlike previous weeks in the Vault, there was no specifically allotted time for investigation; for the first time, this weekend the elevator doors remain closed at the end of the first floor corridor. There's no getting down into the courtroom from here – but then, you don't need to. After all, no one is dead. Just the same, however, a crime has been committed; perhaps not one that warrants any sort of death penalty, but one of your number was attacked by someone else still walking among you. The dining hall has been chosen as the allotted meeting place for the day; it's not the same as the trial circle by a long shot, but even so, the portraits of the deceased watch the proceedings from the far wall. Ten Survivors still remain. Let's see who wanted to lower that number by one – or nine.

[Sigrun's pausing just a moment in her steps, hand automatically going to the bags on her side, before she forces herself to relax.]

If nothing gets done before I get back, let's just take a break and talk about other things like we usually do. That seems to get the ball rolling.

[garudynamic]

[Head tilt- Sigrun should recognize that look by now]

Huh? What, you need a piss break?

[captainobnoxious]

Just getting some water, honey. Don't worry, I'll bring some back for you and kitten -- you two look like you need it after your little flirt session.

[ ggRKRK. ]

...I should've drowned myself in the bathroom last night like Yosuke told me to.

[captainobnoxious]

[SHE'S BEEN SO GOOD ABOUT NOT TALKING TO HIM OR LOOKING AT HIM BUT LEAVING ALONE A COMMENT LIKE THAT WOULD BE TOO OFF.

So Sigrun pats his head. Kind of awkwardly.]

But then you wouldn't have gotten to make him blush. Take your small victories, kitten.

[penduli]

[ ...a glance up, a small frown on his face—

before he sets his head down and groans softly. Are small victories really worth the embarrassment. ]

[garudynamic]

[Oh if anyone knows JUST what to say to throw Yosuke onto a tangent it's Sigrun]

I-i don't know what you're talking about!!

[captainobnoxious]

Your kiss last night was pretty cute too. Congratulations, you two, all you need to start giving each other gifts and it'll be the real deal.

[garudynamic]

I think I might drown myself too.

[penduli]

[ oh my god ]

Miss Sigrun, please.

[isafraid]

...They did, did they?

[garudynamic]

S t o p.

[captainobnoxious]

[Look at those embarrassed teens.]

Black stole one. It was cute, they were holding hands. At the play last night.

[cherryblooded]

[He's been watching Sigrun basically since the argument started - he knows where he'd be looking if he wasn't - so he catches that.]

...Actually. I know there's no cause for a strip search today, but could we empty our pockets?

It'll only take a moment.

[captainobnoxious]

[........]

What's on your mind, Cherry? Think someone's not giving up their part?

[cherryblooded]

[Absolutely.]

There's things you could bring back if you were just in the library - bookmarks, things like that. It wouldn't hurt.

[captainobnoxious]

That's a good thought. Might be exactly what we need.

[cherryblooded]

Isn't it?

It'll only take a second, so if you could participate before you grab everyone waters, we'd appreciate it.

[amygdalae]

[Bruce sees it too, and he knows where Cherryblod is going with this.]

Of course.

[...give Bruce a moment while he empties all the pockets of his jumpsuit, there's a fair bit of stuff - basic medical supplies, advil for Gabriel should he need it, his notebooks and writing materials, his Kingmaker device, his mobile phone, his social security card, the wayfinder charm Aqua made for him and a Keyblade Keychain from the vending machine.]

[cherryblooded]

Thank you.

[Cherryblod turns out his own pockets - there's his phone/room key, a notebook, and a non-haunted pen.]

[garudynamic]

Huh? Okay hold up-

[One phone, and a knife. And another knife. And another oh god so many knives. Oh, and his mp3 player]

[goodforsomething]

....yeah, sure.

[He's watching Sigrun too. Stan's pockets turn out his room key, his pocket square, and a pair of brass knuckles. Because...because.]

[penduli]

[ ...well, sure?

All Black's got with him are his Kingmaker device, a silver cross necklace, and his sketchbook-turned-notebook closed in front of him. After a minute of blinking at his necklace, he just... puts that back on.

He must've forgotten to this morning. Well, no wonder, with all the commotion. ]

[sleepingkogoro]

That's a good suggestion.

[Here we go. Mouri has his key, a nib pen, several pieces of paper from his sketchbook, and three throwing knives]

This is all I have.

[isafraid]

Well, let's see...

[It's going to take Speedwagon a moment....he's got a big coat on. But he finally manages to empty his pockets of... his kingmaker device, the charm that Aqua made, the 'H' locket and note, A pocket watch, and the aforementioned butterfly knife.]
