[ Once they're all let out of the Loyalty Chamber, Yomiel'll pick a random ledge in the Central Hub to sit on and just... slump. He's had such a great day today, from start to finish. ]

[staunton]

[ Knightley will hang around for a little while, hope you don't mind the company. ]

It makes no sense at all.

[schrodingers_man]

[ Yomiel hasn't bothered to put his shades back on after Moge-ko knocked them off after the verdict, and he plays with them in his hands as he responds. ]

Maybe... they know something we don't. Looks like we don't really know much at all.

[staunton]

Our reasoning made sense. It was a strategically sound move, yet it came to this...!

[ He makes a sound in the back of his throat and tugs lightly at his neck brace in frustration. They hecked up so badly today. ]

[schrodingers_man]

And now we won't even be able to abstain tomorrow.

[ He's really kicking himself for not properly considering the hidden rules. And there's still one of them left. ]

[ossifragant]

[He's fairly awful at comforting people, but he'll try.]

It was going to be a stab in the dark no matter what we did.

[schrodingers_man]

We could've voted for no one.

And now we can't.

[ossifragant]

You're right. We could have.

It's another hidden rule we didn't know about. But that isn't something we could have retained for very long. It might have worked today, but tomorrow? There's no possible way.

The kid could have gone after someone else. She did try to eat the body this morning.

[schrodingers_man]

She what?

[ Yomiel did not hear about this. ]

Ye gods....

[ Congratulations, Greed, you really did make him feel actually kind of a little better about this. ]

[alchemicals]

[Hell of a day, isn't it.]

...Look, as much shit as I gave you in there, you had the right idea.

[schrodingers_man]

If I did, she would've come up as a Communist.

[alchemicals]

She was a threat. We were right to get rid of her, communist or not - how long do you think it would have been before she found some other new and exciting way to screw over the entire group.

Your logic checked out, and more importantly that girl needed to die either way.

[schrodingers_man]

...Yeah. You're probably right.

[ He does not actually sound fully convinced. ]

[murimurimuri]

...Sorry. I thought it made sense, too.

[schrodingers_man]

...Yeah.

[ Yomiel looks up from the sunglasses in his hands for a moment, but returns to them soon enough. It's long enough to notice Money, at least. ]

Must be nice to have a pet with you.

[murimurimuri]

[Yeah, and Money's pretty great, too.]

Yeah. I think he'd be better off back at the circus, though.

Do you like animals, Mr. Yomiel?

[plentyfriendly]

[Phi waits for a while to approach Yomiel, but there's something she needs to talk about with him.]

[schrodingers_man]

[ Well, he's not going anywhere, but he's not going to be saying much of anything, either. ]

[plentyfriendly]

You know there wasn't really a right choice, don't you?

[thefaceofjustice]

...Are you alright, Mr. Yomiel?

[Bobby looks like he's about to cry.]

[schrodingers_man]

[ Dammit, Bobby, he wants to hate you on pure white-coated principle, why do you have to go and act the complete opposite way from what Cabanela would do? ]

...I'll be fine. It's just another mistake.

[thefaceofjustice]

I should have arrested her. Then I could have kept her out of trouble and then maybe she wouldn't have been voted out...

[harshwords]

Looks like you're having fun.

[ Sarcasm, of course, but Rin's rather bored just sitting around and doing nothing, so instead, she'll just speak to the people she hasn't actually gotten a chance to speak to. ]

[schrodingers_man]

I'm not.

[ Who's in a mood for sarcasm right now? Definitely not this guy. ]

[harshwords]

I know. Just trying to lighten the mood. Almost everyone messed up quite badly back there, but it'd be best to move on and figure out our next plan of action.
