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.

And if it's incredibly dangerous to me, think of what it'll do to a bunch of trolls! Their guts would go everywhere! We could lay traps for the bigger, nastier ones and just let them blow themselves up...

[Science is exciting.]

[sleepingkogoro]

Eide-san, please!

[Mouri looks a bit green here]

[captainobnoxious]

[Awww. Someone's a little sick at the thought.]

You didn't look so well when I was singing, either. How're you a detective if you have an issue with stuff like this?

[sleepingkogoro]

Murders back home usually don't involve anything exploding, you know!

[Eight hundred or so murders and the number of people exploding is at a merciful number less than ten. Besides it isn't like he is in charge of seeing the crime scene when explosions do happen]

[captainobnoxious]

They should, it feels like they get solved quicker than our usuals.

[amygdalae]

[Sigrun.]

And deal with the collateral damage afterwards?

[Said with the driest tone possible.]

[captainobnoxious]

[........]

If... we're careful enough, then no one I care about'll be blown up. Just trolls. I think.

[amygdalae]

There's no being careful about it. A bomb is a bomb.

[She may

have stepped on a bit of a nerve here]

[captainobnoxious]

And bombs are useful where I'm from, but alright, alright.

[Bruce is not the man to learn from.

She'll ask Colress later.]
