Take Responsibility.

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.

Internet.

[...]

Only I think Mr. Knight is before that was super common. But yeah if I had my phone I could look it up in like, a few minutes no problem.

[notjustawriter]

...The internet's a dangerous place by the sound of it.

[sleepingkogoro]

Kind of.

[Mouri opened a website for his detective agency and it ended being an important tool for someone's murder plan. Stupid murder world]

[garudynamic]

Ooooh yeah. Free information goes both ways man. Not that I've been looking up the Anarchist Cookbook or anything.

[Mostly just porn]

[captainobnoxious]

What do you look up?

[penduli]

It's rude to ask after someone's internet history, Miss Sigrun.

I know you don't care, I just thought I'd mention it.

[captainobnoxious]

It keeps track of you? Isn't that weird to you?

[penduli]

Not really? It's useful if you accidentally close something you didn't mean to, or if you want to go back and check something a couple of days later.

[uro_cyon]

You can hide it if you're good enough.

[captainobnoxious]

Like how?

[garudynamic]

I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO HIDE!

[penduli]

[ ....... ]

You're really easy to embarrass, you know. I really doubt there's nothing you'd like to keep from the prying eyes of the public with a sense of shame like that.

[garudynamic]

Don't you start, Black! I don't even wanna THINK about what's probably in your search history.

[garudynamic]

Music, videos, things like that. Research for school work. Chatting, stuff like that. It's our main form of communication these days.

[A lot of porn]

[amygdalae]

At his age? Probably porn.

[Sorry Yosuke.]

[captainobnoxious]

[-- Oh.]

Sounds like a fantastic invention.

[garudynamic]

...it really is.

[isafraid]

[....sigh]

This future of theirs sounds like it's just full of interesting things.

[sleepingkogoro]

I wouldn't be surprised if Hanamura-kun spent his time looking for porn, yes.

[garudynamic]

BRUCE!!

[cherryblooded]

Could we not talk about my child's porn habits while I am in the room?

[captainobnoxious]

[Bless you for not telling her. She would've been kind of excited though.]

What's wrong with just going up to someone to talk to them?

[... i never thought i'd be on this side of the argument oh my god]

[garudynamic]

I mean, we still DO, but it's like writing a letter- just way faster.

[notjustawriter]

...Anarchist Cookbook is around in my time, too.

[yoskue please]

People will always find a way to do terrible things.

[garudynamic]

Oh yeah, like the books exist if you know where to look. Online just makes it way easier and faster. If you wanna hurt someone you can always find a way.
