DAY 01

[thecomputer]

[Good morning! The doors unlock at 07:00, the enforced sleep effect wearing off just a few minutes prior. As you file out into the facility for the morning, it won’t take long to figure out what’s different. The first clue is probably the corpse in the Central Hub - the body that formerly belonged to Seryu Ubiquitous.

Once everyone’s up, there is an announcement from Friend Computer.]

Good morning, Citizens! Last night, participant Seryu-R-CIT-1 was terminated due to Communist action. In addition, one participant was successfully converted from a Citizen into a Communist. There are now 13 Citizens and 6 Communists.

Trial 01 will begin at 20:00.

[At 08:00, the usual fleet of cleaning droids will clear up the corpse and surrounding mess.

On the profiles list, Seryu’s full User ID is now visible, and her status has changed to DEAD.]

[No problem there. He tries to hoist him up in a way that isn't completely awkward.]

I didn't expect this to happen so quickly. Just one day is all it took, huh?

[ Even once he's gotten his feet under him, Yomiel's far from stable, still leaning on Greed for support. ]

...Not surprised. Probably... given an incentive. Even, uugh....

[ Moving like this is making him a little queasy again, and he uses his free hand to remove his sunglasses and press the back of his hand to his eyes until the feeling passes. ]

Even if they refused, I think... whoever's running this... would've picked someone for them.

[He knew this was going to end in bloodshed. Things like this always do. Give a person the right motivation and he'll do anything.

Greed doesn't know what he can do to comfort the other man, but he can at least try something.]

Probably. We don't have many options here.

[Play the game and win, or risk dying. That's really their only option.]
