TRIAL 02

[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 (the dead are grayed out), plus the word “ABSTAIN”. However, ABSTAIN has now been grayed out as well. The trial begins now!]

... No, it wouldn't make any sense for him to go on a rampage like that if he didn't know. He seemed rather close to Greed-san, after all. Besides, if we want to confirm it, we can just ask Puppington-san himself. There's no point in hiding your identity as a partner now, considering that the Communists would already know who he or she is.

I don't particularly doubt that he's the other Partner, but he hasn't said so one way or the other himself, and anything is possible. Somehow, the way that information came out seems a little fishy, so I think there's something we don't know...

[She doesn't trust anyone who gets into a fistfight but does it as badly as Yomiel and Clay. It was like watching a pair of goldfish trying to sumo wrestle on dry land. Wimps.]

[harshwords]

[ ... Yeah, they're pretty bad at fighting, that's for sure. ]

I think so too. I believe either Yomiel-san himself might have a role or he was in close contact with people who had roles themselves. Though it is quite interesting how things turned out.

[in_plain_sight]

...I think so, yeah. I don't know if he has a role, but if Greed confided in him, and the Loyalty Officer just did too... he's in an interesting position...

[harshwords]

I actually find it kind of strange, though. It's simply really early in the game and people are trusting each other that easily...? Sounds rather suspicious, if you ask me.

[in_plain_sight]

Some people have that kind of personality. They see the best in everyone, even trained killers...

[But uhhhh off-topic]

But I wouldn't have picked out Greed as that kind of person.

[harshwords]

... That's true.

[ She knows someone like that, after all. ]
