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.

That's exactly what I'm thinking.

[Crystals! YOUR MOD DOESN'T CHEMISTRY, SORRY FOR NOT CLARIFYING]

[garudynamic]

He had fabric in his teeth? Could he have bit his attacker? I mean, guy had some crazy teeth.

[captainobnoxious]

[...... huh.......]

Is it bad to breathe in? I know you guys were working around it and don't seem too much worse for wear, but... you were also covering your faces, so.

[She. She might want to burn some.]

[amygdalae]

[THINKING MODE GO.]

The purple smoke might as well be its personal trademark, more or less.

[isafraid]

[we're all very proud of Speedwagon today.]

... If one was really used, it'd cut down on suspects pretty quick, wouldn't it?

[captainobnoxious]

That's why I called him sharptooth.

[...]

He's really good at the game with the ghosts, by the way. I finished putting in his name for him.

[Sharptooth.]

[pokexplorer]

[LOL it's okay, embarrassingly I don't either...]

It is in crystal form.

[isafraid]

It was... a ladle.

[TADA]

One of those big spoons you use in the sauna, I found it by the wall all charred and broken apart.

[notjustawriter]

...and Colress said he also found a nearly empty bottle of ammonia.

[sleepingkogoro]

Yes, I don't think many of us would know to make a bomb with iodine and all that.

[Can you really picture Sigrun or Yosuke making chemical bombs? Mouri can't. The list of suspects is short!]

[cherryblooded]

How did you know it was him?

[garudynamic]

Finished? How so?

[penduli]

Those were natural, by the way. [ He asked once.

...it's really weird to imagine some kid growing teeth and they're REALLY FUCKING SHARP like how do you even react, man. How do you bottle feed it. What about teething toys? Oh my god. ]

[notjustawriter]

[......]

For the people who stuck around in the sauna, did anyone notice crystals? Since they were used as part of the bomb, they might have been leaking purple smoke.

[amygdalae]

[Crap

crap.]

Nitrogen triiodide.

[captainobnoxious]

[She has never been more disappointed in her entire life.

That was so anti-climatic, Mettaton is rolling in his grave, he's going to come back and haunt you.]

It was probably just blown up with the rest of him.

[uro_cyon]

Only those who have a good grasp of chemistry.

[garudynamic]

That's kinda scary... but hey, not as weird as assuming he like, filed them down for some reason.

[cherryblooded]

Why would you have a ladle in the sauna or the arcade? It's not exactly the kind of weapon you'd use in self-defense either.

[pokexplorer]

[IT'S WHY HE ASKED HER TO DESCRIBE THE SMELL...]

Indeed, particularly the acetic acid. I wonder if they are the same?

[He may be a scientist but he is also from PokeWorld, they probably have different names for these things.]

If so, the chemistry lab isn't very far from the arcade...

[captainobnoxious]

[excuse you you

you.... put things into thing

and then it becomes

a

bomb thing



Okay you're right, this is a subject that is beyond your beloved leader outside of "bombs go boom". She's more familiar with ones you have to light, anyway.]

[amygdalae]

[Sigrun

Sigrun no.]

Yes, its bad.

[Well not terrible unless its long term, probably, but just. No, Sigrun.]

[isafraid]

Well there's been stranger things around here.

[He met a guy that sprouted blades all over his body once. That was an exciting evening.]

[amygdalae]

There wasn't any blood on his teeth or anything, but...

[Maybe???]
