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!]

[[Vote here.]]

Perhaps. I've already met one other jerk already, but it's not as if I would vote him off just because he's a sheer annoyance. Someone who could possibly kill me, on the other hand, is a different story.

. . .

[pauses momentarily wondering if she meant him, but there are a lot of jerks here. WELP....]

Why don't you just ask Phi, then?

[harshwords]

I don't think she'd tell me outright in public, so I'll ask her later, in private.

[standbyrival]

Why not? Unless she has a role, there's no reason for her to keep quiet on the votes. We were all pretty loud about why we wanted Moge-ko to die.

[harshwords]

Because if she wanted to tell us, she would have done so after the votes were all revealed.

[standbyrival]

Not really. Not everyone spoke up to as why they abstained, did they?

[harshwords]

Of course not. They would honestly make others believe that they abstained due to "good will" or something of that sort.

[standbyrival]

Tch, that's so wishy washy. You're right though, I rather not hear excuses like that.
