Take Responsibility.

[wordsmithery]

The time allotted for this week's investigation passes fairly briefly, but not easily - what with the state of the body and the things that have been found, the mood is perhaps oddly sobering. Either way, eventually the elevator will be waiting for you at the exit of your floor of choice, bringing you up to the courtroom swiftly and easily. There are so few of you now. Two more portraits have joined the ranks of the dead, watching over the proceedings. Gangrel and Orihime's images watch over you with with eyes that see nothing, all colored in greyscale and set up on their places in the podium circle, black fabric draped over each setting. As always, the lectern remains empty and unaffected by what's happened here. After a while, however, once everyone has found their place in the circle, the Wordsmith can be heard addressing the group, voice audible throughout the room. "Sacrificing one to save many—that is ostensibly why Harmonious is no longer among you. Truly, that is the most pragmatic of options in a situation with no chance of victory. I may even come close to commending such a decision. But I must also wonder if the dead can be said to have been 'saved', when they have passed beyond your reach in all but mere messages. Unless you should wish to follow Harmonious and join them, hold the guilty accountable for their practicality." Eleven Apprentices remain. However many leave this place is up to you.

[Evidence.... evidence... ah!]

The yellow roses! So if someone had been helping Orihime, they likely would have either helped her put up the roses or they placed them in her hands as she died if she wasn't already holding on to them.

Those roses have thorns, so there could be a chance that someone has scratches on them from the thorns still. So please, everyone, let me see your hands!

[She will in turn take off her gloves that are not ripped or torn in anyway and show her hands which are free of injury.]

[iaspis]

[Jasper's hands are free of injury.]

[oyashiromama]

[Yeah getting back to the evidence sounds nice.

There are no injuries on Hanyuu's hands.]

[foundfate]

[He doesn't wear gloves anyway, so!

His hands are not injured.]

[elepe]

[...Lusamine had some black gloves that she wore for all of a week after Kira happened, but no, her hands are bare.

And are uninjured, for that matter.]

[byday]

[His hands are absolutely perfect. Both in that he's injury-free, and in that he has beautiful hands. There's some scarring from his punching a mirror in the previous weeks, but it's definitely healing.]

[acherontiastyx]

[yep, no injuries here!]

[matchbreaker]

[ Elda's hands are free of injury! ... Also her nail are well manicured because she stole Kira's manicure set ]

[sportadork]

[injury-free, here!]

[feistytrader]

[Silver's gloves are not ripped or torn, and his hands, while both sporting scars now, have no cut wounds, only light bruising.

He will punch things forever, okay.]

[tsugomori]

[ Mikazuki is wearing another outfit today. Gangrel's Dark Mage Outfit, but his hands are actually perfectly fine. ]

[firstaid]

[That is... a rather odd outfit to wear. She remembers discussing with Gangrel about it. She also has one that she just keeps in her trunk or around.]

...why are you wearing that and not your other casual wear?

[SAYS THE GIRL WITH 4 OUTFITS.]

[tsugomori]

Oh, because I'm mourning his death.

[ He says it so... casually. ]

I suppose it's not the best way to cope.

[foundfate]

...well. I mean.

Everyone grieves in different ways, I guess.

[They really can't go a single trial without weird kinky shit happening can they.]

[tsugomori]

Yes, that is also true.

[ No, not at all.


Watanuki should get one too. ]

[firstaid]

Why weren't you wearing it on Sunday, then?

[She remembers, they danced together and that would make the most sense then to wear it.]

[tsugomori]

Why would I be wearing it on Sunday?

[ He tilts his head. ]

[matchbreaker]

[ WAIT SO HIS NIPPLES HAVE BEEN OUT THIS ENTIRE TIME?! ]

[tsugomori]

[ ... I've got nothing. I mean yeah, sure. ]

[matchbreaker]

[ Score. ]

[elepe]

[...You know, she has two of those outfits and she's been wondering about them. It makes sense for the toplessness if it's for men, she guesses...?]

...That isn't uncomfortable on you?

[tsugomori]

Not at all, it's quite nice to wear. Killia once helpe--

[ Oh. He just shuts up now, because he'd rather not talk about this now. ]

[elepe]

[...She's not gonna press further on that because that's the same way she feels about talking about Gangrel, at least.]

It's intended for men then, I take it? I got two of those from the machine myself, and I was quite puzzled that they didn't come with a top. I was thinking about making one for it...

[matchbreaker]

I received several too, but they were far too big for me!

[ So she assumed it wasn't for her but like- ]

... What woman would assume they were meant for her?

[tsugomori]

[ ... Hopefully no one else will lose their lover, but that probably won't happen. ]

Yes, it really is just for men.

I have... five of them now? I don't know, but it's more than two at least.
