Take Responsibility.

And when the door at the bottom of those stairs unlocks and it swings open gently of its own accord, allowing everyone back down into the courtroom, there are decidedly fewer of them than there were just a few days ago.

The change in the podium circle is massive this time; Dio, Logan, Marty, Yuuri, Hibiki and Mordecai have all joined the ranks of the deceased, their podiums adorned with black cloth and greyscale photographs. Furthermore, the mass of shadows in the pit at the center seems agitated again, shifting and breaching upward toward the glass if one looks at it long enough.

It's been something of a bad week, to put it gently.

Not that it's evident from the Conductor's behavior; as usual, the proceedings are being watched from behind that panel of translucent glass behind podium 30, and he'll speak as soon as everyone has found their place in the circle. His words are a bit more rapid than usual; he seems interested in this one.

"Temporal, Lucent, Vivacious and Universal...all four of them have been taken from you. Does whomever is responsible for this really deserve your compassion? There can be no hesitation; you should offer no mercy.

It's you against the guilty. Take control of your fate, and hold them responsible."

Thirteen Participants remain. You've lost five people this week, and eight since the last investigation; we'll see how many more you lose today.

Yeah, and I found darts and billiard balls in the hallway.

Well, that's fucking weird.

Could they have been used in one of the murders? Did anybody have... I don't know, stab wounds?

Marty was stabbed twice in the back. One of the wounds was smaller, but I doubt it was a dart.

Wellll... Mordecai had a healed-over stab wound, probably from a knife.

...Although given how people have kept some of their powers, who knows what that means. Maybe he was struck there first before he was slashed with a sword. Maybe it's just an old injury! Who knows!!!

...I know.

He showed me that stab wound before. We were talking about our memories - he'd just remembered getting it, and wanted to know if I could tell how long ago that had happened. It was old.

[ maybe she shouldn't be so pleased to hear that

but god help her, she's pleased ]

That's one mystery solved, then.

Slashed with a sword?

... How do you know it was with a sword for sure.
clearasmud: ('sup)

[personal profile] clearasmud 2015-12-12 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! I found it. It was shoved behind one of the cabinets.

...Swords have been on my mind so my mind kind of jumped there when I saw the slash, but then I found it.
