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.

[...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?

[elepe]

[--HEY.]

How was I supposed to know whom they were intended for? Until I noticed the lack of top, I thought I finally had a new set of clothes to try on.

[matchbreaker]

[ Well... She can relate to that at least ]

Perhaps you could try on my maid outfit, I suspect that could fit you.

[elepe]

[...hmm.]

You know, I may just take you up on that.

[matchbreaker]

Excellent! [ she claps her hands together ]

After all this business, then.

[ Because there is clearly no way Lusamine is guilty at all. Duh. ]

[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.

[elepe]

[Do we have any more lovers left to lose

Darn, though. That makes some more sense at least.]

Goodness, that's quite a few. The machine must have been rather generous to give you almost a week's worth of them.

[...are hanyuu and elda the only living ship left what the fuck]
