Take Responsibility.
| Once again, as people finish their investigations and make their way toward the door at the bottom of those stairs in the dorms, the door down there is unlocked once again. It opens as though of its own volition, with a loud clicking sound and a soft outward swing, not firmly enough to harm anyone who might be standing in the way but enough to give them some slight encouragement to move. The stairwell it leads to is once again dark, the only light coming in from the courtroom below, if it can really properly be called that. It stands as cold and unforgiving as it did last week, all concrete and steel and the podium circle in the center, surrounding the darkened pit in the middle. Nothing can be seen down there for the time being; it simply seems like a large black hole leading nowhere. Three more podiums have joined Jean's in being arranged differently from the rest; Caren, Yosuke, and Chitoge have all joined the ranks of the deceased, their podiums draped in black with their profile portraits sitting atop them, greyed-out and watching the room with unseeing eyes. The thirty-sixth podium remains empty and blank, as always. Once everyone has found their place in the circle, the public-address system comes to life once more, and after a moment Jericho's voice can be heard "Dexterous has been taken from you; seems like a lot of you were friends with her, and you all know why you're here by now and what you're supposed to do. So hopefully you guys won't be disrespectful assholes again and expect me to make you give a damn this time! Be self-centered about it all you want, just do your jobs. After all, it's in your best interests to do that. As always, do your best - I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes." Thirty-one Participants remain. However many are left at the end of the day is up to you. |

Then you're the dumb one. If we don't kill each other, then supposedly Jericho's gonna kill us off one at a time, and probably the same way he did to Meteoric for breaking the rules.
[ She heard Kirei and Kimblee's conversation, she's sort of with them on the "it isn't an actual rule and he outside of rulebreaking he hasn't posed a threat" thing. Which is disappointing, if he's actually full of hot air, but!! Anyway. ]
Not to mention the incentive we had this week. If we get more, then there's always gonna be something hangin' over our heads, like carrots for a horse. Some people are gonna take 'em, some people aren't. If there was an incentive like, "Your most important person'll die if someone doesn't kill someone" or something like that, wouldn't you do something to ensure that like, Junior wouldn't die? I bet everyone, or like, at least almost everyone does!
Mistrust's got some weight to it, sure, yeah, I totally won't disagree? But face it: it's gonna happen! People're gonna die so people can get out and away from total dumb-dumb idiots, and maybe possibly get something extra along the way, so grow up and accept it! The faster that happens, the less it's gonna suck for you going forward, probably.

I don't care if it keeps happening. That doesn't mean I have to accept it.

Fine, but don't act all surprised and junk when it does, no matter who's the dumb-dumb killer.
no subject
...Fine. Whatever.
