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.

PAGING MODS, AGAIN

[cherryblooded]

Hard to say without knowing what it is.

[He's right next to her and the device, so he tries fitting them together.

Between the device and the pieces, does it look like it makes a whole whatchamacallit?]

[trustharder]

[It does! You can put all those pieces together to make...

A Showa Radio? Yep, that looks like one of those items from the vending machine, but it's definitely been messed with to make it into some sort of device. While it doesn't have any buttons at all on it, it does seem like the sort of thing you could remotely trigger. So that might be important.]

[cherryblooded]

It looks like those radios from the machine, just fiddled around with. You could probably turn it on remotely...

[goodforsomething]

Huh.

[Stan gave his radio to Sigrun earlier this week. Lucky she couldn't fiddle around with it like that!]

All those things make is static, unless someone found broadcasting equipment. You think it could've been used as some kinda detonator?

[cherryblooded]

Wouldn't know enough about electronics to say. This is about as far as my knowledge goes.

[Electronics and water.]

[amygdalae]

...it could have been used to set off the nitrogen triiodide from a safe distance, if rigged for the right ways.

[pokexplorer]

Ohh! It is nice to see one of those being used creatively!

[Colress.]

[cherryblooded]

Colress.

[pokexplorer]

[WHAT.]

Myyyy apologies.

[cherryblooded]

[Thank you. Dork out about sciencey stuff when people aren't being murdered.]
