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.]]

Are you even listening? The only way we can avoid losing more people to the trials is to be absolutely certain who the communists are. If we can't do that, we're going to have to risk making mistakes. There's no way around it.

Yeah, and I'm telling you that offering pretty words like "Oh, I'm willing to be a martyr if this goes badly! Please hate me, I'm used to it! I just got an innocent person killed, that's all!" isn't going to get us anywhere.

There's a chance we won't fuck this up if we don't all jump to one conclusion and refuse to let go of it like we did last time.

Nobody's stopping anyone from making other sugggestions. I'm not some mastermind or detective; if you or anyone else comes up with a better reason to suspect someone, we should give it our full attention.

But if anything, people are less likely to keep investigating if you're going to lose your cool every time someone comes up with a theory.

Don't keep pushing unfounded theories and people won't get mad at you for them, Princess.

[She hasn't killed anyone other than in self-defense in a while. She's past that. She's not exactly One of the Good Guys, but she's helping people. She has weird reasons for it, sure, but that's still what she chose, and trying to learn to think like Naegi--to care about other people just because they're people--is an important part of walking that path.




But dear god she wants to kill Kimbley for calling her Princess.]

I made my case. If you don't buy it, don't vote for him.
