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!]

Please do. I've got no idea why they want me gone so badly - I guess I'm flattered, but I suspect it's like I said, it's because I'm fucked up - but they're wasting a shot if they're going after me.

[harshwords]

Maybe, maybe not. If they found out that you have a role, then there's more than just the reason that you're messed up that they would kill you.

[alchemicals]

And that's what I'm saying - if they're saying I have a role, they're full of shit. And even if I did, it's a waste of a shot anyway, given how many times I've said that I don't give a fuck who wins.

I'm not pissed off because I've been tapped to die, Princess, I'm pissed off because you guys are wasting your time in doing it when you could be going after someone useful. What the hell have I done, other than get the wrong person executed?

[harshwords]

Oh, I have no doubts that they're probably going to scan Yomiel-kun tonight. Even if you don't care, everyone else here does. And to them, it's not a waste of a shot if they can lower the amount of Citizens by one.

Besides, they haven't been going after useful people to begin with.

[alchemicals]

Bullshit they haven't. That's why they went after Puppington last night, that's why they want me dead.
