TRIAL 04

[thecomputer]

Attention, Citizens! You have ten minutes to proceed to the Loyalty Chamber. Anyone who is late to the Loyalty Chamber, or who brings any weapons into the Loyalty Chamber, will be immediately executed.

[Once you arrive, you will find a large chamber, with twenty podiums spaced around the room in a circle. On the ceiling, a massive screen showing the digital eye of The Computer, turning to look at whoever is talking.]

You have one hour to come to a consensus about who to eliminate. Ties will be broken randomly.

[The floor of the chamber begins to split apart, eventually only leaving the twenty podiums as safe places to stand, above a seemingly bottomless abyss. Each podium lights up with a touch screen showing twenty user IDs (the dead are grayed out), plus the word “ABSTAIN”. However, ABSTAIN has now been grayed out as well. The trial begins now!]

Actually... I don't have to shout, if that's a problem, Mister Knightley?

[wow that brace sure is gone.

And wow, that sure is a girl that's standing at Robin's podium-Oh, wait.]

[staunton]

[ okay, he sure did not expect that. ]

...You're not a guy!

[fullonbraced]

Haha! [She does a little spin, making an ":D" face at the end.] Yup! I'm actually a girl, and smarter than you think. Which is why I'll be defending myself with a theory that I think makes some sense!

[staunton]

Go on, then! Don't keep me waiting, share that theory of yours.

[fullonbraced]

[And she does!]

...

[ Huuuuuuh. Not expected! ]

No yelling is fine by me.

[fullonbraced]

Are you sure? It does start to hurt my throat sometimes.

[schrodingers_man]

I can imagine. [ He's done more than his fair share of yelling these past few days and he's not pretending to be a guy when he's not. ] But I don't need to count on you losing your voice to win this debate.

[fullonbraced]

Hmm, why are you so sure, mister Yomiel? Are you really exempt from suspicion?

[schrodingers_man]

I'm sure because I've got the truth on my side. But accusing me's a pretty bad strategy on your part. Win or lose here, I'm a dead man tonight and everybody knows it. And once I'm dead, everybody's going to know I was telling the truth. All this is buying you is one more day, at best.

If anybody even believes you to begin with.

[fullonbraced]

Well, that remains to be seen, doesn't it?

[angry_jerk]

[Well. If Dan had water, he'd do a spit take. And yet, he does it anyway.]

The fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

[fullonbraced]

Tee hee! Yup! I'm a girl, body and soul!
