LAST WORDS

[thecomputer]

[As the votes are revealed, a ring of metal bars snap up in place around Bobby’s podium, folding and meeting overhead to create a cage.]

You have voted for the elimination of Bobby-G-SCA-1.

The sentence will be carried out in one minute.

EXECUTION

[thecomputer]

[Bobby’s podium/cage suddenly plummets downwards, into the inscrutable depths. A second later, tiny hatches open all along the walls below, and massive torrents of raging flames emerge. You can feel the blazing heat even from as far away as the inferno is.]

[After ten seconds, the incineration stops, and the floor slides back into place, the door opening once more. There are now eleven participants remaining.]

[On your PDC, the UI background has changed from green to blue, and your User IDs have been updated.]

[thefaceofjustice]

.............

[Bobby's been highly emotional and expressive for just about the whole game. But suddenly, his face is showing nothing. Just cold and emotionless.]

[fullonbraced]

[....Well.

It looks like Robin was too caught up in trying to prove her innocence, she. forgot to vote.

Huh.


Oops.]

[staunton]

[ Knightley lets out a flurry of jackal laughter, clearly pleased with the outcome. ]

Heh heh heh... Checkmate.

[angry_jerk]

Christ man, get a new hobby. You have an actual problem.

[thefaceofjustice]

Elimination of "Bobby"? Try again, Computer. After all, the real Bobby Fulbright has been dead for months.

[staunton]

Shut up.

[schrodingers_man]

[ Yomiel is the very picture of the cat who's caught the canary. ]

Well, look at that. The Detective in white was the Scanner all along. Looks like it's my lucky day.

[fullonbraced]

Yeah. He's really into chess.

[in_plain_sight]

Does it matter? They know all the citizen roles already.

[plentyfriendly]

No, you're wrong. It doesn't matter who you really are. To the computer, you are Bobby-G-SCA-1.

And that is something you can't escape from.

[angry_jerk]

Dude needs an intervention on the double.

[in_plain_sight]

...Huh?

[There's no way she fell for something like this, the irony hurts too much. Not that she knew who Fullbright was either way.]

[angry_jerk]

...So.

What exactly...

Are you saying you're an impostor?

[We'd warn you the choose your words carefully, but it probably doesn't matter by this point.]

[fullonbraced]

Did you notice how his name is sort of a chess pun? It's kinda F-U-N-N-Y.

[plentyfriendly]

Strategically, yeah, it shouldn't matter. But as someone with a special role, the Scanner's existence put a lot of stress on him.

There's also his grudge against a detective in white who killed him, of course. They might be bleeding into each other at this point.

[angry_jerk]

What, really? Ew.

...And why did you spell that out, do you think I'm a child?

[angry_jerk]

Denial is the first sign that you need help.

[fullonbraced]

[She shrugged.] No. That's just something I like to do.

[angry_jerk]

Weird

[Honestly though, she's so far the least irritating to him. Even the loud voice isn't a thing anymore.]

[thefaceofjustice]

[WELL HE'S GOING TO TRY-- oh dang his signal jammer was nerfed.]

Can't escape? We'll see about that.

[in_plain_sight]

...Is everything is about a grudge with him?

[thefaceofjustice]

No point in denying it now. I just need that computer to fix the discrepancy.

[staunton]

It took you this long to notice that?
