Take Responsibility.

[kingmakereffect]

The allotted time for investigating comes to an end, and those elevator doors slide open at the end of the first-floor corridor; it's a bit of a walk down from the fifth floor, but at least the ride down is swift and smooth. To say nothing of spacious. Your numbers are running low. The podium circle, as always, stands out against the black-walled courtroom where it's encircling that pit in the center; Mettaton and Shirazu have joined the ranks of the deceased, photographs in greyscale watching the proceedings from their podiums draped in black. The Kingmaker, too, is watching all of you; as always, it isn't until everyone has settled at their podium that he speaks, his voice sounding out through the room for all to hear. "Sacrificial has been taken from you. Maybe this time the guilty party is going to actually succeed at Rule Seven - but of course, whether they manage it is still up to the rest of you." Eleven Survivors remain. How many are still standing by the end of the day is up to you.

[... All that junk...]

So it's a pretty useless trail. Guess all we've got are the bombs and that scrap then. Thanks anyway.

[isafraid]

[but how does one hack efficiently?

It would have to cause quite the mess.]

[captainobnoxious]

I would honestly be surprised if you didn't have one of everything in there, Cherry.

[uro_cyon]

[ Speedwagon, one day he should really try to teach you about technology. Or maybe just Pac-Man.]

[cherryblooded]

No, I know there's at least some things I don't have. I don't have any sledgehammers and I've seen scepters, too.

...A scepter honestly would have made that battle yesterday a bit less... regrettable.

[isafraid]

[One of these days, he's really gotta ask.]

[goodforsomething]

Eeesh, should've asked around. You could've borrowed mine.

[Those things are too fancy-looking for his tastes, but they swing good.]

[captainobnoxious]

Those guys are tough, aren't they. I kind of want to start a collection of all the weapons myself. Hang them on my walls.

[... She needs a new pike and flail. And she's not graverobbing that bit.]

[cherryblooded]

Should have, didn't.

I stabbed a Pokemon with a pike, Stan, it was awful.

[captainobnoxious]

I'll take it.

[captainobnoxious]

... Did it bleed?

[cherryblooded]

It was actually fairly one-sided. Think you just had a closer matchup.

[pokexplorer]

It was rather impressive, honestly.

[Colress that is your own Pokemon.]

[cherryblooded]

No. But he was very upset. Think there was some serious misjudgment going on.

[cherryblooded]

[COLRESS]

I'm not battling you again.

[pokexplorer]

Oh... That is rather disappointing. I was hoping to see how you might fare against Klinklang.

[Because Cherryblod totally wants to injure the gears right.]

[cherryblooded]

I refuse to ruin my relationship with Klinklang like that.

[goodforsomething]

Lemme know next time you're fighting a Pokemon.

[He said "borrow", Sigrun]

[garudynamic]

We can compare the fabric to people's clothing- but the killer could have just changed. Though it'd HAVE to be to something from the vending machine. All our jumpsuits are brightly colored.

[goodforsomething]

Seriously? [Stan snorts.] I don't like those things. Gimme a knife any day - or just a plain old-fashioned boxing match!

[cherryblooded]

Not a bad idea.

[Cherryblod is wearing the suit he came in, which, while it has plenty of black and white, has no grey nor any torn spots.]

[amygdalae]

That or the sewing room. [Although he's not 100% sure on that point.] But I agree its something worth trying.

[Especially since his own idea didn't pan out.]

[cherryblooded]

It's an awkward angle to punch at or I would have used my brass knuckles.

[Beheeyem is three feet tall, after all.]

I have many regrets.

[garudynamic]

Yeah, someone could have made like, a smock or something they could easily burn after. But it can't hurt!

...you all know my clothing.

[Other then his black jacket and pants everything is eye searing so...]

[pokexplorer]

Please, Cherryblod. He is fine. You have nothing to feel regret about.

It's not like he hates you! ...I think he is more upset at me, honestly.
