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!]

What? Seriously?? It's just a coat, it's removable!

[schrodingers_man]

That doesn't matter! Just that you'd choose that color is enough!

[thefaceofjustice]

You're wearing a white tie!!!

[schrodingers_man]

That's completely different!

[staunton]

Can both of you shut up!?

[schrodingers_man]

[ Yes, Dad.... ]

[staunton]

What he's wearing is irrelevant and won't get more people voting for him, Yomiel.

[schrodingers_man]

...Right.

I don't need any stronger evidence than what I've already given. My role isn't for finding Communists, it's for confirming my suspicions, and I haven't been wrong since Moge-ko.

[thefaceofjustice]

No it's not, it's the same color!

[standbyrival]

Okay, but what if you both just battled this out? Winner gets to not fall into the seemingly endless pit of fiery death below.

[thefaceofjustice]

What, like a courtroom battle?
