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 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.]

How did you know it was him?

On the screen when you put in your name it already had an S.

... There's not exactly a lot of people left who'd go to that place for one that start with an S in either of their names, so I assumed it was him.

[Also: She sucks at Pac-Man.]

...Do you normally put your last name in when you're putting in your high score, though? Wouldn't it be G?

In Japan we usually put our family name before our given name. I have supposed the Vault here has western influences because my given name is listed first.

Shirazu-kun, being from Japan too, could just be used to inputting his family name first.

[Yep]

Yeah, same with me. So he might have been putting like, S-G or something similar.

[Ha!!! Ha!!!!!]

I mean, your other suspects on the game front would be me and Stan then, and that was my first time playing it.

[... During a murder investigation.]

And can you really imagine the old man having anything to do with a noisy place like that? He told me that he's sure he's never been up there before now.

[Sigrun why would you stop an investigation for a pac-man break?

not that he doesn't think pacman is kinda fun]

I mean if Speedwagon used his last name too but...

[I mean, it's Speedwagon.]

Though some people have names they only use for gaming and stuff. But there's no way we'd be able to figure that out unless it's something someone brought up sometime, so-

[Let's not even chase down that possibility we'll be here forever]

I don't care. It was our sharptoothed friend.

[...]

Could've been using their title though. Even though that's still just them.

Yeah I agree- we don't really have any reason right now to think it was someone else.

Kids these days and their video games!

[That's. That's agreement.]

When I was a kid, we'd go out into the sea and trick the smaller beasts to follow us to shore, and we'd split their heads open!

[sigrun]

Kids in the old world were weird.

When I was a kid, we'd build rafts and stuff and go out sailin'! Almost drowned a few times, but that sure did teach us to swim!

Nothing like some near death experiences to give you hands on experience, am I right?

Toughens ya up!

[Old people are weird]

[ They have a point though. Nothing like a couple near-death experiences to make you into a better person.

hahaha ]

All we had when I was a kid were the typical games. Usually it'd end up in a scuffle anyways.

The classics are better than the new ones. [ Because hey, he enjoys gaming when he has free time.]

Finished? How so?

I just tapped it right in!

[She's a helpful leader.]

So he was in the middle of adding his name and just stopped? Maybe he was sneak attacked while playing?

Could be. I'd definitely ask someone to wait until I put in my name before I got killed, too.

Yeah, same. Some games have timers on adding your name too- though I dunno if an older game like that would.
