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.]]

[harshwords]

Sorry, Sakura. I'll be back soon enough.

[respring]

Back? What do you mean back? T-They're really going to vote for you at this rate, I--

[ she stops in the middle of her tumbling sentences, clearly having to restrain herself, to reign her concern back into that mask of stoic anger she wore only a few minutes earlier

Sakura forces herself to stop talking, only gazing down at her feet. ]

[harshwords]

If you haven't figured it out, go look at the list of roles again. I'm not going to spell it all out for you, Sakura.

[ She's trying her hardest not to be upset about this, even if this isn't her Sakura-- it's still her. They act similar enough, even with the minor changes in her personality that even Rin herself can tell.

But still. ]
