TRIAL 03

[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!]

You mean purple-dyed hair.

[respring]

It's not dyed... [ although it also isn't her natural hair color. ~magic~

but yes this should be the thing she's focusing on right now. instead of protesting her innocence. ]

[angry_jerk]

Uh, I call bullshit on that. There's no such thing as purple hair.

[You people and your anime magics.]

[respring]

It's from my magic crest...it turned my hair and my eyes purple. [ how do you explain the blank, pupil-less eyes, dan. no one has a steady supply of contacts in here....!! ] Well, I guess from a certain point of view it could be called dye. But it's not...traditional dye.

[angry_jerk]

[Dan just. Stares for a moment before pinching the bridge of his nose.]

Let me get this straight.

Magic. Gave you. Purple hair.

[He just assumed she was dead inside, crushed by the inefficient and oppressive government that cared little for individual life.]

[respring]

Yes...? [ .... ] Neesan and I are magi. It says so on our profiles.

[angry_jerk]

You're- ugggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

[Why is he here. Why is he dealing with this.]

I don't know who this "neesan" is, but both of you and your magic hair fill me with utter disgust.

[Dan: completely ignorant to many things. Occasionally including words.]

[respring]

[ frowns deeply ] Neesan is Rin Tohsaka. [ and that's all she says, knowing full well Dan pretty much hates Rin. Her facial expression pretty much does a 160 from 'passive indifference' to 'put the dots together yourself you fuckwit' ]

[angry_jerk]

She had magic hair too? Man, fuck that guy.

[standbyrival]

[okay paul's been trying to ignore this but finally he gives dan SUCH A LOOK]

Magical hair dye makes no sense.

But purple hair is natural.

[I MEAN REALLY]

[angry_jerk]

Listen brat, I know all you ingrates today are high on iHeroin and Pottop commputers or whatever, but that's no excuse for being so whacked out you think purple is a natural hair color.

[standbyrival]

Stop speaking gibberish. I was born with this hair color, and so was my brother, and many others. It's nothing to get worked up over.

[angry_jerk]

WHAT.

[What was that about getting worked up?

[standbyrival]

[t-twitches slightly. you people. these people!!]

Why are half the people here loud and morons. . .

[angry_jerk]

You're the one telling me, against millions of years of scientific advancement and research, that there is such a thing as natural purple hair. Pretty certain you're the moron here.

[standbyrival]

Unless you are one of the scientist involved in said advanced research, you have no ground to stand on. Judging from your ignorance, body odor, and general unkempt look, I'd bet you're from a more primitive world, anyway.

[angry_jerk]

I'LL GO PRIMITIVE ON YOUR FACE WITH MY 2013 SKILLS, YOU PATHETIC, FESTERING PARASITE FEEDING OFF SOCIETY!

[standbyrival]

And look how it reacts so violently to just words. Good job proving my point, lowlife.

[angry_jerk]

INSULTING ANOTHER HUMAN BEING GENERALLY MAKES THEM ANGRY, THUS MAKING THEM MORE WILLING TO ENACT VIOLENT ACTS UPON THEM. THESE VIOLENT ACTS INCLUDE STOMPING YOUR FUCKING WORTHLESS FACE WITH IRON KLEETS, FORGED IN THE TEMPLES OF FUCK YOU FROM THE BRASS KNUCKLES OF PAIN AND PAINTED WITH THE DEATHLY CONTACT POISONS OF THE AMAZONIAN TRIBE OF EAT A DICK!

[standbyrival]

Point.






Is what I would say if anything that just came out of your mouth worth listening to.

[plentyfriendly]

Cloning is a thing, why not genetic engineering?

[angry_jerk]

What would even be the point of that?

[plentyfriendly]

People do all kinds of things that don't make sense. Maybe someone just really wanted a daughter with purple hair. Or a son with purple hair.
