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.

What would someone be wearin' a wig around for, anyway?

[notjustawriter]

Good question.

It's not like she wouldn't know who it was at her door.

[goodforsomething]

Yeah, sounds like it was a pretty bad disguise. If that's what they were goin' for? Only one person with grey hair here.

[ratingspoint]

In general, probably for the same reason Misa-darling wears contacts sometimes and Yosuke pours bleach on his head.

[Or whatever it is he does.]

Why anyone would do that here, though - good question.

[captainobnoxious]

-- Misa wears what?

[The fuck's a contact.]

[cherryblooded]

Things that either improve your vision or make your eyes look different colors.

[isafraid]

...Like spectacles then?

[But they don't change your eye color...]

[notjustawriter]

They're kinda like spectacles, but very small and you wear 'em directly on your eyes.

[isafraid]

[what]

Why the hell would you want to do that to yourself?!

[penduli]

Because some people don't like wearing glasses and getting called "four eyes" growing up. I can't stand putting anything by my eyes though, so... I'm sort of stuck with them.

[captainobnoxious]

To stand out. I guess.

[notjustawriter]

They don't hurt any.

[amygdalae]

[UUUUH]

Some people prefer that to having to constantly wear spectacles.

[Says the guy... who is wearing spectacles half the time.]

[cherryblooded]

Like if you took the lenses of spectacles and put them directly in your eyes.

[captainobnoxious]

Oh.

[so many liars smh just look how you are you're all beautiful to sigurn but not as beautiful as her boyfriend]

Okay. I bet she'd look cute with glasses though.

[goodforsomething]

Glasses make ya look smart. Known fact!

[captainobnoxious]

It makes my uncle Trond look grumpier than he usually is. But they're so tiny! I bet if he had ones like you, he'd look like an owl!

[goodforsomething]

Sure, but if they were doin' it for looks, I doubt they'dve just happened to start on the night they offed someone.

[ratingspoint]

Unless they didn't have it before? The machine contains a lot of strange things.

[goodforsomething]

...okay, fair point. Might as well look nice when killin' folks.

[captainobnoxious]

You're definitely talking to the one person who'd agree with that.

[goodforsomething]

No kiddin'. Doubt he'd wanna wear a grey wig though, his hair's...

[Stan gestures vaguely. It took too much effort to cover up.]

[ratingspoint]

...Why wouldn't you, though?

[Mettaton, no.]

[goodforsomething]

[...Stan considers this, then shrugs.]

Seems like a good way to ruin your clothes.

[captainobnoxious]

[She knew it.]
