Take Responsibility.

The elevator doors slide open at the end of the allotted time for investigating, and the ride down is quick-paced and smooth; there's a lot more space in here than there was at the start of the game, that much is obvious. But then, perhaps that's to be expected with almost a third of your original number dead. The doors slide open when the courtroom is reached, the podium circle waiting as always in the middle of what still seems to be an endless dark void; Yato, Taichi and Megumi have joined the ranks of the dead, their podiums draped in black, greyscale portraits set upon them. Watching the proceedings. And as always, they aren't the only ones watching. The Kingmaker waits until everyone is settled at their podiums to begin speaking; it's still impossible to tell where his voice is coming from – other than, perhaps, 'everywhere.' "Protective has been taken from you. Looks like the guilty thought their secret was worth more than her life... Or maybe they just wanted out and decided to be the one to succeed at Rule Seven where everyone else has failed. Whether they succeed or not is up to you." Nineteen Survivors remain. How many are still alive at the end of the day is your decision.

... If you think you could lift a woman Megumi's size, at least, then strip.

[amygdalae]

[...well, okay, yeah, he probably can.]

--is it fine if its just the top half?

[HE SOUNDS SO UNCERTAIN...]

[captainobnoxious]

Yup. Don't see why the bottom half would be of any important at all here.

[amygdalae]

[Well as long as its just the top--

Bruce makes unzips down halfway of his jumpsuit and shrugs out of it, and just like the previous time he did it everyone is treated to the sight of a lot of body hair and chest hair and the fact that he is actually somewhat muscular underneath. Also he's entirely clean and bruise free.]

[captainobnoxious]

[Clap clap!]

Good show, doc, your cooperation is appreciated by all.

[amygdalae]

...thanks. I guess.

[Totally making a face here. And quickly putting his jumpsuit back on now that it's done.]
