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.

...well you have pretty deadly looking legs. She'd be below you, perfect attacking angle.

[...Oh my fucking god- ]

You can't be serious.

[garudynamic]

I'M JUST SAYING!

[isafraid]

At this point it's about as fair an explanation as any.

And then I suppose I just wandered up to the sixth floor and grabbed a wrench to finish her off with once I'd knocked her out with my supposedly deadly-looking legs, and I bruised her up for good measure. Really.

Who the hell does that? Any of that!

[garudynamic]

Ngh, I don't know! I feel like I should be calling for the lightning round at this point!

[ratingspoint]

[And he just kind of laughs a bit at that.]

If you want to engage that badly, go ahead, sweetheart - I'm not going to stop you!

[garudynamic]

...Engage? Wait, is the Lighting Round a fight?!

[ratingspoint]

...Usually.

[is this another human thing]

[garudynamic]

I don't wanna fight! I sure as hell don't have any killing intent! Our game shows usually have them as, like, rapid fire questions so people that are behind can catch up!

[ratingspoint]

Ohhhhh. Well. If you want to do that, we can.

[...Apparently you're speaking his language now and he's willing to calm the fuck down just slightly.]

[garudynamic]

[ This isn't his first game show after all]

O-okay, sure, bring it!
