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.

Couldn't hurt, I'm sure.

He almost wishes he hadn't brought up the possible injury. He should have known this might happen.]

[BRUCE DIDN'T MEAN TO LEAD THEM TO THIS.]

...I'd rather have some semblance of privacy left.

[isafraid]

....That would be a different way to start these terrible trials off, that's for certain.

[Stan's got a few more layers to get through, but he has no problem with being shirtless. No wounds here.]

[notjustawriter]

[....He really hates doing this.

Off his shirt comes, revealing no wounds.]

[ A small sigh but nope, no wounds here either.]
