Take Responsibility.
| And once everyone has done what they need to do and gathered at that bottom of that stairwell in the dormitory, the door before them once again seems to unlatch and swing outward, lightly and of its own volition. It's the fourth time in the span of about a month; perhaps there's some strange, dark sense of familiarity in it. Perhaps, too, that stairwell leading further down is beginning to feel familiar, dark and unwelcoming though it is; the courtroom is still illuminated at the bottom of it, sending a slight amount of light up the stairs and guiding everyone down to that stark room made of concrete and steel. The podium circle stands still and silent in the center, waiting for everyone to take their place around the darkened pit below; once again, there's been a change in the circle itself in the form of three more podiums joining the ranks of the deceased. Fern, Tabby, and Sigrun all have their places in the circle marked with black cloth and a photograph in greyscale, keeping watch over all of you in a manner both unseeing and vaguely judgmental. As always, the thirty-sixth podium stands blank and unoccupied among you. Once everyone has found their place in the circle, Jericho can be heard over the public-address system; he seems to have collected himself at some point during the investigation, it shows in his voice, as little as anyone really wants it to. "For better or worse, Boundless is no longer among you. I'm sure you guys all know what that means by now, what you're here to do. And before you ask, because I know it's going to come up eventually and now's as good a time as any - yeah, we'd have you down here if someone tries to be a big damn hero for the group, because someone's still dead because somebody fucked up. It just means the dead person and the guilty person are the same person. So you know what, the game's the same, no matter what happened here - innocent against the guilty, fourth time, let's go! And as always, do your best!" Twenty-six Participants remain. However many leave this place is up to you. |

[ These sure are some feelings umm. ]
no subject
[Yeah, that. That does appear to be feelings, doesn't it.]
It really was a pleasure, you know. Be sure to win, whenever you decide it's time.
no subject
[ Hello no nickname. Also it's unclear what statement that is addressing— the nice to know you or the winning bit. ]
no subject
[Regardless of which statement it's addressing.]
no subject
I don't disappoint.

I really don't understand why the lot of you are bothering to talk to me like this. You have your victory; you get to live for another week. You should be pleased with that much, at least.
no subject
[ Just sayin'. ]
You really think I'm focused on only that?
[ On just survival, it wasn't about solely that anymore. ]

[This is one of the things he was referring to, when he said he doesn't think like everyone else; these moments are...common with him, really, when it comes to emotional things. Most people are yelling at him, yes, but then there are people like Elda and Sayaka and Archer... And Terumi as well, in a way. They're upset, and it's for reasons that aren't just frustration, he can tell that much, but he can't say he understands why.]
no subject
[ So much for not yelling, and so much for being Tenacious. ]
no subject
I understand, then.
[He doesn't, but good lord.]
no subject
Doesn't freakin matter! You better at least give the doll a run for it.
no subject
Don't worry about that much. I've never been one to just lie down and die.
[...There's a comment to be made about how that's why we're all here in the first place, but he at least has the decorum to not make it.]
