Take Responsibility.

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.

There's matches in storage, you'd be better off even just burnin' it yourself. That incinerator seems kinda like junk.

It sort of is. I'm not really sure why people get going to it first chance they get—it's really obvious when it's in use, since it gets pretty warm around there, and it takes forever to start up in the first place.

[ Thankfully for Mr. Sucks At Smalltalk over here, it doesn't take forever to cool down to a reasonable temperature. ]

It should be rather easy to burn away a few papers anyway.
