trusthell | Take Responsibility.

Again, the elevator is waiting for you after the allotted time for investigation is over; it idles almost patiently at each floor, waiting for everyone to be on board before sending all of you up to the courtroom high above.

Over a third of your original number is dead.

The losses are made all the more apparent by the addition of several greyed-out portraits around the podium circle at the center of the room; Kira, Mercy, Judy, Nick, and Kimbley have all joined the ranks of the deceased, their podiums draped in black. Meanwhile, the lectern above stands empty.

The Wordsmith waits for everyone to find their place in the circle before he speaks; once that much has been done, his voice can be heard easily throughout the room.

"Welcome back, Apprentices. The past several days have been troublesome indeed, and I need not point out that your number has dropped significantly. But a matter even more pressing requires your attention at the moment.

In accordance with Rule Seven, the guilty seeks to leave the university and rewrite history. If you wish to prevent that, hold them accountable and have them take responsibility for the fate of Incendiary."

Nineteen Apprentices remain. However many leave here at the end of the day is up to you.

NO.

Silver ended up addin' a couple people after...

[A pause. Looking away, but Watanuki can so see a little blush on Gold's cheeks.]

While we were talkin' about it.

[ The reaction one would expect out of Elda Marker is not there. She instead is gripping the sides of her podium with a strong amount of force, her knuckles a bit white.

What is her name doing there?

Why? ]

It does sound rather unsanitary.

[She pauses.]

Would it also be safe to say that his head injury happened before he went into the pool? Or was it a result of jumping in it or being thrown in it and his head hit the side?

We got bored.

[That's his story, and he's sticking to it.]

We can show you later, if you want.

Clearly the heathen who decided to do everything else involved in this mess. I swear, some people have absolutely no respect...

[Thank you Gold, you agree with her and sometimes that's all one can ask for.]

The Applied Sciences division of my company. Never mind I've actually passed a basic chemistry course.

Kira reminded him of someone he met back home! That man reinstated Kimbley to the military, even knowing what Kimbley did to his last set of superior officers!

[He sounds sort of pleased about it. Kimbley was pretty great.]

Oh, come on, you've gotta have some ratings! Want me to name off a couple I think you'd be into? Shall I start from your ten?

[Yikes.]

Anything notable about the dent? Size, marks?

I don't know. I was never good at chemistry. [ somebody who knows chemistry please help... ]

[...what the hell have you two been up to.]

Oh.

[He's going to ask about that after the trial.]

Gold, please behave yourself!

It looks like your guess may be right, seeing as Miss Lusamine discovered quite the things in the pool.

[ ... ]

It sounds like things did not quite go as planned.
