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!]

That would be it. You were pushing so hard that I thought maybe you could be an enemy.

I don't think that now, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.

And here I thought it was because I called you dense.

[KIMBLEY.]

That said, it's great that you think maybe I'd be that petty, but really? It's like I was telling the kid with the dumb hair. If people hate me, they do. If I get voted out, you guys'll get exactly what you deserve. Simple-as.

I don't hate you. And like I said, I made a mistake.

[There is, admittedly, a non-zero chance that she can take it back but it's not likely to come up.]
