Take Responsibility.

[antitrust]

After a while, 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; it's not as bad as it was last week, but again, there are decidedly fewer of them than there were last time. The podium circle has changed once again, with Rick, Tabby and Sukuyo joining the ranks of the deceased, their podiums draped with black cloth and adorned with greyscale photographs. The shadows are quiet down in the darkness of the pit; for the time being, it's hard to say what the pit itself looks like after the explosion last week. One way or another, we'll find out by the end of the day. As usual, the proceedings are being watched from behind that panel of glass behind podium 30; he'll speak as soon as everyone has found their place in the circle. "Familial has been taken from you. Regardless of what her affiliation was – whether she was with me or the lot of you – you know what you have to do by now. 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." Ten Participants remain. However many more we lose today is up to you.

... Yeah, for multiple reasons now that she's admitted it.

But the important thing is, that pretty much blows the flimsy possibility she committed suicide completely. Definitely murder.

[announcemyvictory]

But now that we know that, wouldn't whoever did it be shocked that they killed the wrong one?

[blazeit]

Maybe, but if they get away with it, they're gonna kill the rest of us anyway. They should've already been prepared for that.

[icysemblance]

Exactly. Between the suicide note telling us to vote for her and everything else, the murderer was probably more than prepared to kill all of us.
