Take Responsibility.

[kingmakereffect]

And once the allotted time for investigating comes to a close, those elevator doors slide open at the end of the first-floor corridor, offering another of those fast, smooth rides down to that black void of a courtroom Twelve out of the original twenty-seven are dead; there are four less of you present for this trial than there were last week. That's incredibly obvious as soon as the doors slide open and the podium circle comes into view where it's encircling that dark pit in the center of the room; Norman, the King, Tarrlok, and Lynne have joined the deceased, photographs in greyscale watching the proceedings from their podiums draped in black. Of course and as always, the Kingmaker is watching too; he waits until everyone is settled at their podiums to begin speaking, though it's still impossible to tell exactly where his voice is coming from. "Assured and Perceiving have been taken from you. You guys are really getting excited, aren't you? Two people dead in one night... Whether the guilty party succeeds or not, though, is up to the rest of you." Fifteen Survivors remain. However many will be down by the end of the day is up to you.

I don't think they'd come out willingly about that, Aqua, if we've got it on the table.

[isafraid]

[shrugs lightly.]

I guess you would know better then we do.

[amygdalae]

None that instantly comes to mind.

[And really, who would admit that?]

But as you said, anybody with a good eye and hand could probably be able to do it, too.

[garudynamic]

Ugh yeah, bleach REEKS. Even the stuff I use in my hair smells really strong.

[prismbloom]

I'm not saying they would--it would be more surprising if they did. It's more that I was thinking out loud.

[happysweets]

T-that's true! And it's not like they didn't have time! Misa-Misa sent out those things on Tuesday, and she's wrote a bunch of stuff all throughout the weeks. And it's not exactly like it's all that hard to copy, I mean, Misa-Misa doesn't write in fancy script or anything...

[captainobnoxious]

You should not use it. It looks really painful to get on you, and you being a fakey fake redhead is still hurting my heart.

[goodforsomething]

They'd have plenty of time to practice if they wanted to. Anybody could probably get it after a while.

[And that is all he has to contribute to this conversation, lol........]

[isafraid]

There would be no small amount of things to copy off of, at the least.

[garudynamic]

Yeah it's really not good for you. The reason it changes my hair is cuz it literally strips the color off.

[Shrug. Just put poison on your head Yosuke it's fine]

[amygdalae]

The water might have come from condensation and if that's the case, then perhaps the sauna was used much earlier and then turned off.

[captainobnoxious]

You should stop that.

[happysweets]

Exactly! But they picked a really bad person to frame! If we're looking for someone who moved Mr. Tarrlok, I'm the worst candidate! Misa-Misa's the smallest and weakest person here, and Mr. Tarrlok is the biggest!

[isafraid]

[just

kind of looks at Yosuke]

[garudynamic]

IT'S FINE!

And it's not 'red' either, it's 'fawn.

[You pleb.

But no Yosuke, it's too dark to be fawn. Let's be honest here]

[amygdalae]

[Bruce nods. Just as there is suspicion of her because of this burned letter, the possibly of it being forged is also prevalent.]

But if framing Miss Misa was the intent of the note, why even go through the trouble of burning it?

[To make it more suspicious??]

[captainobnoxious]

That's possible. The burny water could've been used to clean the sauna in the first place, but... I mean, she did have them on her face like someone poured it. And since it didn't get into her mouth, I'm guessing she must've been awake for that part.

[amygdalae]

[It's okay Stan, its okay...]

So there is a possibility of this note being a forgery.

[penduli]

[ ...........what a fucking moral dilemma, he's never had this before. ]

A con-artist would be pretty good at forging signatures. [ He's not naming names! ...right now! ] But... you and Mr. Pines are right. You could probably do it with a steady hand, a good eye, and a lot of time—which we're not exactly short on here.

[prismbloom]

... Didn't you just say it wasn't good for you?

[ Yosuke. ]

[captainobnoxious]

Honey, there's nothing fawn about that. I'll say that right now. I've seen my share of them and yours is definitely not that.

[garudynamic]

[Well so sorry we're not all giant curly hair blonds Speedy]

[penduli]

A lot of people do things that aren't necessarily good for them to make themselves look nice.

[ And Yosuke looks nice! Very nice. He's going to look even nicer with stupid stripes, really. ]

[goodforsomething]

...maybe they were usin' it for somethin' else? We're all slidin' notes under doors all the time. If I got one from Misa tellin' me there'd been an accident some night, I'd go upstairs and check it out.

[happysweets]

Practice makes perfect, right, Black..?
