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.]

[W O W]

[Paul was hanging back, just about when Yomiel started yammering away. He doesn't react until the whole SWORDS FOREVER THING]

[theeeen he just laughs]

Guess I was right, that was well worth the risk.

[schrodingers_man]

[ Yomiel hasn't been reacting to everybody else's reactions, but for some reason what Paul just said has caught his attention. ]

What did you just say?

[standbyrival]

[. . .oh right you're still actually there tho]

[he closes his mouth, and then EH. He is happy enough she's gone. He shrugs]

Remember when I said I investigated her last night? I might have been pulling your leg.

Good thing she actually was a Communist.

[schrodingers_man]

WHAT?

[ Yomiel grabs Paul by the front of his jacket and it's probably a good thing that he doesn't actually have the arm strength required to pick the kid up like that. ]

What were you thinking?!

[standbyrival]

[he's like barely five feet tall Yomiel you got some weak arms]

I was thinking we need to get rid of the competition and FAST before we all end up dead! Didn't you notice how she was acting last trial? How defensive she was of that Robin kid? She has no real argument, and tried to compare me to Rin. It was so obvious!

It's a good thing you're so gullible or we would have never gotten this far.

[schrodingers_man]

[ Look that's like almost 100 pounds he's a nerd he can't bench that much. ]

You stupid brat! What if you were wrong?! Do you have any idea how much you just risked?

[ He fucked up once with Moge-ko, but at least a trial isn't a finality. If he'd just blown the Troubleshooter's one chance on an innocent Citizen, he wouldn't even care about the penalty, Paul would be so dead right now.

So he's lucky he was right. Yomiel lets go of him with a shove and then turns to leave, giving one last passing word over his shoulder. ]

I don't even care if you're the real Loyalty Officer or not, don't talk to me again.

[standbyrival]

She died once already. I bet she didn't even mind it.

[QUIET AT THAT BIT THOUGH.....then he just snorts, letting him go]

That's fine by me. Your usefulness has run out, anyway.
