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!]

The only reason why I let you bunk with me was not so we could be proper sisters again, but because I simply did not wish for a prospective ally to die on the first day.

Everything has to be a competition, hah...? But I guess this is a competition of sorts, so I shouldn't fault you, realistically.

[ and yet she still looks sort of angry ] A shame.

[harshwords]

Of course it is. That's why I plan on winning.

[ Her words are backed up with utter confidence, not even remotely caring that Sakura's rather pissed. ]

It seems that in the end, we might be destined to become enemies.
