Taking Responsibility.
| A while after that space behind and above the game room has been accessed, after things have been looked over, Jericho can be heard over the intercom; apparently, it works over in that area as well. "Wow, you guys really are having a great time going through our stuff, aren't you? Good for you! Seriously, look at all of you go, utilizing Rule Four and everything. It's cute as hell. I'm guessing you want something out of all of this, though – I mean, we absolutely could leave you there to just sort of mull things over until somebody else dies, but that seems like a waste of everybody's time, and believe it or not, I'm not too crazy about wasting tme. So if you're all happy with what you found, go ahead and head down to the courtroom – as always, we'll be waiting for you." And as he's said, the door the courtroom below is unlocked and open when you arrive; as always, feel free to follow that darkened stairwell down to that familiar room made of concrete and steel. There are so few of you now. Kyrie's photograph has joined the others in the circle that have their pictures in monochrome, their podiums draped in black – but notably, the podiums have all been rearranged. There are definite patterns to it, if you look; either way, feel free to find and take your place. The pit in the center of the circle remains darkened, but it isn't as though it matters much for the time being, given that there would be no one in it; after all, the thirty-sixth podium, across from all of you, is occupied. Hilda is standing there, dressed in black as always, a notebook folded tightly against her chest – not the notebook that killed Aligula, but a nice leatherbound one. She looks at everyone expectantly as they walk in; the implication is incredibly clear. It's you against the guilty. Take control of your fate, and hold them responsible. When she does speak, it's simple and straightforward, especially as compared to Jericho's rambling. "Let's begin, shall we?" |

You already know what lengths Jericho would go to ensure he has control over the situation, given what happened with Alena.

Since I'm guessing if Jericho wants to keep this thing running that's where she's going to be staying.

No, I don't.

Rachel, can you hear me out for a second?
[ He's going to take a moment here and take a breath. ]
People can have good intentions. They think that getting rid of evil people will help with the world, universe, whatever, because they're tired of seeing people suffer or they think there's some way to change it all from within the system from the better. They try they damndest to make the thing happen, because they also believe they're the only one who can.
Sometimes they end up failing miserably and then deciding that drastic measures need to be taken. Along the way at first they feel kinda bad about the innocent people who they manage to involve and then they figure it's worth the sacrifice.
... Then, at some point, they change. They become someone entirely different -- unrecognizable -- and on their own, they continue to grow worse, until somebody stops them.
If you ever want Alena to be back by your side like how it used to be or whatever -- for this to end, Jericho needs to be stopped now.

You're talking about Alexei. Right?
You don't get to stop Jericho the same way you stopped him.
no subject
Well, I figured that wasn't gonna be an option anyway.
[ ... For a variety of reasons. He'd prefer to stop Jericho that way, and he still wants to -- and he does plan on making him take responsibility. ]
But you won't object to us stopping him another way, right?
