Take Responsibility.

[andexecutioner]

As before, once the investigation is done the corridor at the northwestern edge of the foyer opens up; it wasn't open, and then it simply was, and the hallway is no less claustrophobic as you enter it. And the podium circle still stands in the middle of the courtroom at the end of those tightly enclosed walls – though the journey may be a bit less cramped, given that there are fewer of you than there were the last time you traversed it. Rideaux, Chitoge and William have joined those with podiums draped in black, their framed, greyed-out profile portraits keeping a watchful eye over the rest of you. Presumably, they're doing so along with Juri; he's nowhere to be seen, but judging from the feeling permeating the room, someone – or something – certainly does see you. Either way, you'll be addressed once you've all found your spots in the circle. "Unconventional is dead; whatever the reason was hardly matters by now. Clearly, whomever acted knew what they were doing; the completion of Rule Seven is possibly on the table for them, as is taking advantage of the incentive if they succeed. It's your job to hold them responsible. Good luck." Twenty-four Competitors remain. How many leave this place is up to you.

What, here? These things are shitshows.

[Sharkfriend doesn't need to be a part of that]

[oasisrose]

Isn't that all the more reason to have a friend backing you up for support?

[Sorry to butt in, but since you guys are on either side of her, it's sort of like she's already been given an open invitation into this sidebar conversation.]

[Yeah okay that makes sense]

He'd just get bored, listenin' to everyone go back and forth.

[cilantro]

Oh, I'm not saying that you should have them out to take part in this poor imitation of a proper judicial system. I brought mine simply because I didn't want to leave it alone in the room for... however long we're meant to be here today.

[rainofterror]

Hm. Sharpedo'll be fine.

[Though he does glance back towards the doors]
