TRIAL 01

[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 (Seryu-R-CIT-1 is grayed out), plus the word “ABSTAIN”. The trial begins now!]

Whoever stepped in the blood has had hours to clean it up. I doubt we'll find anything unless someone is completely incompetent.

[plentyfriendly]

Well, the stain would still be there, we just couldn't see it. That's what the luminol would be for.

[ossifragant]

[...hmm]

What's luminol?

[plentyfriendly]

It's a special chemical compound that reacts with blood. If you spray it onto something and there's a bloodstain on it, it glows in the dark.

[ossifragant]

...That sounds like a good idea, actually.

But how are we going to pass it around in order to make sure no one drops it?

[That abyss beneath them looks like it would be fatal if someone fell from their podium.]

[plentyfriendly]

I'm not sure we can, plus there's the fact that we don't actually have luminol and we don't have access to the light switch for this room.

[ossifragant]

I doubt our friend the computer would want to help get us a can of luminol.

That's probably out.

[Unless someone wants to step up and ask; Greed isn't going to bother.]

[opens his mouth to say something.]

[then closes it. he's not really having a lot of faith in competent folks right now.]

It's something to keep in mind in the future. Everyone was stupidly lazy about figuring things out. If she weren't so crazy and our main suspect, I'd ask if Miss Psycho Meowth up there could sniff out any blood.

[then to Clay] And stop calling me Junior!

Blood is easy to smell and a really nice scent. ♪

[standbyrival]

You would think that. . . [AND YET. CONSIDERING. what if they all just threw their shoes over there would that even work gosh. Frowns to himself!!]]
