DAY 03

[thecomputer]

[Good morning! The doors unlock at 07:00, the enforced sleep effect wearing off just a few minutes prior. The body will take some time to find this time - because Zolf was hidden in the depths of the Labyrinth!

The Computer doesn't speak up until someone finds him.]

Good morning, Citizens! Last night, participant Zolf-O-DEF-1 was terminated due to Communist action. There are now 10 Citizens and 5 Communists.

Trial 03 will begin at 20:00.

[Friend Computer will remain to answer questions for ten minutes. One hour after the body is found, the usual fleet of cleaning droids will clear up the corpse and surrounding mess.

On the profiles list, Zolf’s full User ID is now visible, and his status has changed to DEAD.]

[Dan's actually looking at the corpse today, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.]

Say... Why do you think Mr. Crapshoot AI over there keeps taking these bodies away?

[in_plain_sight]

Cleanliness, probably.


[Even Junko wouldn't just leave corpses laying around in areas people use.]

[angry_jerk]

Orrrrrrrrrrrrrr....

He doesn't want us to find something he's put inside us.

[Conspiracies are fun for the whole family.]

[in_plain_sight]

...Like what, small bombs? That would be pretty unnecessary, considering the turrets all over the facility.


[She's at a point where the notion of being surgically implanted with suspicious objects isn't all that spooky or exciting, frankly.]

[angry_jerk]

Or zombies!

[in_plain_sight]

...No.

[angry_jerk]

Yes.

[in_plain_sight]

If you want to dissect him and find out, be my guest.

[angry_jerk]

Do I look like someone that has materials on me for that?

[in_plain_sight]

Well, I'm not lending you a knife to test something this stupid.

[It's apparently Finders Keepers when it comes to weapons around here.]

[angry_jerk]

Well I don't want to get my shiv dirty!

[in_plain_sight]

...Then what do you use it for?

[angry_jerk]

Business.

[in_plain_sight]

Business that doesn't get it dirty?

[angry_jerk]

Business that gets it dirty while I have my shiv cleaning kit, you ignorant cretin!

[in_plain_sight]

There are plenty of towels here. It wouldn't even be that messy, it's not like his heart is beating.

[angry_jerk]

But then it won't be polished!

[in_plain_sight]

I'm sorry, I thought we were talking about a weapon, not antique jewelery.


[Boys. So dainty and vain.]

[angry_jerk]

[Whoop, there's the shiv.]

Maybe your face'll become an antique after I stab it.

[stinkingdeadendjob]

Tooooo... use 'em? Robots shouldn't tolerate waste, it's not in their cold, mechanical nature.

[angry_jerk]

Yeah, but what for? Gotta be using all those bodies/clones for something!

[stinkingdeadendjob]

Maybe the soulless automaton just wants a heart. A beating, human heart with which it can love and almost immediately fall into disappointment with.

... Except only it's taking it too literally.

[angry_jerk]

Oh! Or maybe he's using all those body parts to make some kind of horrific Frankenstien creation with! Hearts and all!

[stinkingdeadendjob]

Well I hope it takes one of our late friends' pants while he's at it. Abominations are thing, but nobody should be subjected to nudity.

[angry_jerk]

Screw that man, the nudity taboo is way out of hand.
