TRIAL 02

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!]

[[Vote here.]]

You and Yomiel-kun make a very good team, so I would rather not have someone useful die on me after all of this.
schrodingers_man: (Pleased to meet you)

[personal profile] schrodingers_man 2014-11-10 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
...Last night, the Scanner. Who did they choose? Can you tell us that?
harshwords: (♦ there are just no words)

[personal profile] harshwords 2014-11-10 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, it doesn't out anybody as a Communist, so I suppose I can give that information out for free. It was Kimbley-san.
schrodingers_man: (I've been around for a long long year)

[personal profile] schrodingers_man 2014-11-10 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
...

Why him? Why not me?

[ He's starting to get an idea of the reason already, but he wants to hear it straight from the horse's mouth if he can. ]
harshwords: (♦ oh‚ you're not that bad)

[personal profile] harshwords 2014-11-10 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I personally don't see you as much of a threat.
schrodingers_man: (Just as every cop is a criminal)

[personal profile] schrodingers_man 2014-11-10 03:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That was... not actually the answer Yomiel expected at all. ]

What? Why?!
harshwords: (♦ there's nobody around to see us now)

[personal profile] harshwords 2014-11-10 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Call it a woman's intuition. [ Or rather, she's not telling. ] Though I'm certain that they might scan you tonight because of these conversations.

If this is a polite way of saying it's because I'm fucked up, I think my delicate maiden feelings can handle hearing it. Just as an aside.
harshwords: (♦ you just got punked)

[personal profile] harshwords 2014-11-10 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I generally try to stay away from being impolite, but if you insist. You're more of a cunning bastard than Yomiel-kun, from what I've seen.
alchemicals: (008.)

[personal profile] alchemicals 2014-11-10 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[...wait what]

Wow. Really? I mean I'm more of a bastard, definitely. But otherwise?
harshwords: (♦ how about you go fuck yourself)

[personal profile] harshwords 2014-11-10 04:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, there are people who can be complete pain in the asses, but you're not that type of person. You're a bastard, but not an incompetent bastard.

... Oh, and I wanted to hurt Yomiel-kun's pride a little by teasing him, since I haven't had anybody to mess with for a while.
schrodingers_man: (Pleased to meet you)

[personal profile] schrodingers_man 2014-11-10 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[ Yomiel's not talking to you anymore, Rin. ]
harshwords: (♦ we'll rip the competition into shreds)

[personal profile] harshwords 2014-11-10 04:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It's okay, Yomiel, she's just messing with you because she actually likes you. ... Not that she would actually say that, because you know, that can totally be taken in the wrong way and she's already spoken for. ]
alchemicals: (005.)

[personal profile] alchemicals 2014-11-10 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not really known for making anyone's lives easier.
harshwords: (♦ you just got punked)

[personal profile] harshwords 2014-11-10 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not expecting you to. I'm expecting you to make the Communists' lives harder.
alchemicals: ...periodically (006.)

[personal profile] alchemicals 2014-11-10 03:46 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a little hard to do that if I die tonight.

But I appreciate the faith.
harshwords: (♦ anything you can do i can do better)

[personal profile] harshwords 2014-11-10 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Then let's hope you don't.
alchemicals: (005.)

[personal profile] alchemicals 2014-11-10 04:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Right now I'm a bit too busy being pissed off to be optimistic, but I'll try, just for you.

Your Scanner's full of shit, by the way, if what they said they got is the reason they're going after me.
harshwords: (♦ you don't like me talking to saber?)

[personal profile] harshwords 2014-11-10 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll remember those words for when you guys vote them off. Unless you do that while I'm dead.
alchemicals: ...periodically (006.)

[personal profile] alchemicals 2014-11-10 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Please do. I've got no idea why they want me gone so badly - I guess I'm flattered, but I suspect it's like I said, it's because I'm fucked up - but they're wasting a shot if they're going after me.
harshwords: (♦ how about you go and die?)

[personal profile] harshwords 2014-11-10 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe, maybe not. If they found out that you have a role, then there's more than just the reason that you're messed up that they would kill you.
alchemicals: ...periodically (006.)

[personal profile] alchemicals 2014-11-10 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
And that's what I'm saying - if they're saying I have a role, they're full of shit. And even if I did, it's a waste of a shot anyway, given how many times I've said that I don't give a fuck who wins.

I'm not pissed off because I've been tapped to die, Princess, I'm pissed off because you guys are wasting your time in doing it when you could be going after someone useful. What the hell have I done, other than get the wrong person executed?
harshwords: (♦ anything you can do i can do better)

[personal profile] harshwords 2014-11-10 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I have no doubts that they're probably going to scan Yomiel-kun tonight. Even if you don't care, everyone else here does. And to them, it's not a waste of a shot if they can lower the amount of Citizens by one.

Besides, they haven't been going after useful people to begin with.
alchemicals: (007.)

[personal profile] alchemicals 2014-11-10 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Bullshit they haven't. That's why they went after Puppington last night, that's why they want me dead.
