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.]

[ It's probably a good thing that Yomiel was planning to explore the labyrinth today anyway. He's not surprised that today's victim is Kimbley--as far as he's concerned, that was implied by the fact that he's still breathing--but when the announcement says "DEF" instead of "CIT," that's a surprise.

Once again, he can't bear to look at the body for long, but at least he keeps his wits about him today. If... talking to a corpse counts as keeping his wits about him. ]

Looks like your attack dog was more of a guard dog, huh? I should probably thank you. Even if you weren't trying to protect me, you've bought me a lot of time I probably wouldn't have had otherwise. I won't let it go to waste.

...Tell Greed hello for me. I probably won't be far behind you, but hopefully I can at least send a Communist or two down first. Look forward to it, okay?

[ He won't be hanging around for much longer after that. He'd like to give Kimbley the full hour-long vigil he gave Greed, but he's got a lot to do and not as much time as he'd like to do it in. ]

[Robin moved quietly up beside Yomiel. She felt the need to say something to the person that had offered her a room to stay in, but what could she say.]

...I can't believe he's dead, you know?

[schrodingers_man]

...Yeah.

[ There's a couple of false starts towards saying more, but nothing actually comes out. He just doesn't... really know what to add to that. ]

[She shakes her head. She can't look at the body much longer.]

Maaan! He was supposed to survive with us!
