Take Responsibility.

And once the allotted time for investigating comes to a close, those elevator doors at the end of the first-floor corridor open up; the ride down is fast, smooth, and understandably tense as far as atmosphere goes. You're down to less than half of your original number. The doors slide open and the podium circle comes into view, standing stark against the black-walled courtroom and encircling that pit in the center; Misa and Aqua have joined the ranks of the deceased, photographs in greyscale watching the proceedings from their podiums draped in black. Of course and as always, the deceased aren't the only ones watching; the Kingmaker will make his presence known once everyone has settled at their podium, his voice sounding out through the room for all to hear. "Resilient has been taken from you. Maybe this time the guilty party will actually succeed at fulfilling Rule Seven, seeing as this is the sixth try and all. Whether they manage it is up to the rest of you." Thirteen Survivors remain. However many will be down by the end of the day is up to you.

Maybe they didn't have anything else.

The music room isn't full of cleaning materials. And I certainly wouldn't use my own clothes - so hers might have been the most convenient.

I suppose... and they didn't want to get caught by taking items from the laundry room, most likely.

[cherryblooded]

I wouldn't want to walk over to the laundry room while bloody, personally. Anyone might be up.

[goodforsomething]

Anyone could've seen them goin' in her room, too. Carryin' her bloody clothes.

[cherryblooded]

...True.

Guess that's what getting rid of witnesses is for...

The blood on her was mostly dry, too. It mostly likely means that the person had a lot of time to do all of this.

[Between the workshop, and the setting up, and the bathroom...]

[cherryblooded]

If it was early in the night, and nobody else would want to leave their rooms on a Thursday night... Then they could rely on having uninterrupted time to clean up.

[A nod.]

Its quite plausible.

{Maybe the person was even banking on that.]
