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.

Maybe they weren't done hiding all their evidence? Hell, I'd probably try to clean off all the glitter if I had the time. I mean, a lot of us were glittered but only a few of us had enough to do that much transfer.

[ratingspoint]

It's a bit hard to get that much glitter off of anything, sweetheart, and if there was that much transfer they'd be there all night trying. But that's a good point anyway.

[garudynamic]

Heh true. By that point they'd have been better off just stripping him.

[ratingspoint]

Who are you even suggesting had that much on them to begin with? Just for the sake of narrowing it down a little.

[garudynamic]

Well Misa's mask was REALLY glittered up. And you had your rose. Most of the other masks were pretty simple in comparison.

[captainobnoxious]

[the fuck you sayin yosuke]

[garudynamic]

But honestly it was glittered awhile back, right? So I doubt much would be coming off now...?

[Please don't kill him Sigrun]

[captainobnoxious]

I made it for him myself after last week's trial.

[Good boy.]

[happysweets]

M-Misa-Misa again?!

[garudynamic]

I'm just stating fact, Misa. Calm down.

[happysweets]

I-it's true that Misa-Misa wore a lot of glitter, but...that doesn't make her a culprit!

[garudynamic]

No, it doesn't. But we gotta keep it in mind. We can't just go jumping to conclusions based off one bit of evidence.

[He learned that lesson]

[happysweets]

That's true. Misa-Misa must look super-duper-suspicious now, though...ugh, the price you have to pay for looking fabulous!

[ratingspoint]

And you're suggesting that Misa-darling or I killed Lynne...how, exactly?

[garudynamic]

[He makes a noise]

I'm not saying ANYONE did yet! Just that that's the most obvious source of the glitter! Hell for all we know Tarrlok decided to get crafty in the middle of the night.

[captainobnoxious]

[THAT'S RIGHT DON'T TARGET TWO OF HER FAVES HERE]

It is kind of weird he had glitter pretty much all over him. Never took him for the kind of guy to like it.

[amygdalae]

[...now that this is mentioned too...]

Exactly how and when did the glitter get on him? He certainly didn't have it on during the party, that much I remember.

[captainobnoxious]

[... oh sigrun did a good]

Both great questions. If he ate shit carrying the bottles, then was moved around with his burny stuff, then it's possible the killer still has glitter on them if it was after he died isn't it? How much weight does that hold, do you think?

[pokexplorer]

The fact that there wasn't any on Miss Lynne is also odd. That is, if we are using the single killer theory.

Since, indeed, I cannot see a reason why Tarrlok or only some of the bottles would have it.

[sleepingkogoro]

Hmmm...

The killer transferred the glitter by contact, I suppose. If there was so much glitter then the mere act of touching could transfer glitter.

That would mean Lynne-san was killed through some way that required no physical contact at all from the culprit.

...

Do you think it could be possible the culprit could have glitter on them right now?

[captainobnoxious]

[-- beeeeeeeeeh]

It's like they're two separate cases entirely. Can't we just take this one at a time?

[ratingspoint]

Well, if we're using the single-killer theory and assume that Lynne came across the body early...why couldn't the killer have pretended they were in the same situation?

Meaning the bottles that weren't glittered up were set up by Lynne, but the others...

[ratingspoint]

Relax, sweetheart, they're only words.

But if you think we're the most likely people to have done it, you might want to work on how. That's all. There's nothing wrong with reverse-engineering it like that, I think.

[garudynamic]

[He shuffles back and forth nervously. Look man, he doesn't take confrontation well]

Well, since your rose was on your hand it'd be the easiest to cause transfer to things you picked up.

[Sorry Sigrun, he doesn't really think Mettaton did it- but he has to talk this out]

But taking off her mask could do the same thing to Misa so there's that. I'm still stumped on how Lynne actually died though- drowning is only what I'm going with cuz nothing else makes sense yet...

[ratingspoint]

Either that or it's like Mouri said - somehow she was killed with no physical contact from the culprit.
