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. The sixth floor bathroom stuff even lines up. He wanted to dump some down the toilet to make it look like it was used, in a location people wouldn't think he would go to... but he fucked it up because of his injury.

And he isn't wearin' his coat.

[ LOOKS LIKE THEY HAVE A WINNER. Apparently Cabanela shouldn't have called himself a monster in front of the teen asshole squad. Although Sol had brought up his pills before that, because...

...she's an asshole tbh... ]

[blazeit]

[ THEY'RE BOTH SUCH ASSHOLES and yet nobody can tell them to knock it off because

at least they're effective assholes...... ]

I think I'm starting to see why everything looks like an incredibly stupid set-up. He probably feels seriously fucking guilty.

[sunsong]

[ effective asshole brigade...never talk to them if you did the do ]

He said it himself, didn't he? This killer is a "real monster". Well, my own opinion on that has always been pretty clear. Even...Chie.

[ She's never really called them a monster at the end. Sure, some of them were utter assholes, but... ]

...Well, some of them were giant dicks. But "monster"?

[blazeit]

[ they will sniff out the guilt and the blood tbh ]

Okay, well. I would be okay with calling the vampire a monster at this point because flying head and all that, but yeah.

... I just want to know why.

It looks like he's goin' to be a pain until we get it exactly correct. Let's take it from the top...what do we know, and what explanations do we have for all of it? He said we weren't entirely correct with what we just said, so let's hammer it out.

Dio Brando can win freak of the school award for his head antics, yeah, I'm okay with that.
