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!]

[[Vote here.]]

And I still think she is. However, it's not guaranteed yet.

Keeping a known, active threat around is dumb. She may not have a role, but there's no telling how she contributes to their team. For all we know she could be their real brains. It's best to get rid of her now.

I already voted for Ms. Sakura, but I can change it to someone else if this trial reveals convincing enough information about another suspect.

Do you have anything to add as a witness about Mr. Newman or any other suspects?

[standbyrival]

Not at the moment, but I'm sure I could make something up if you're that eager to off another kid. Is that it, detective? Are you that kind of corrupt officer?

[thefaceofjustice]

Mr. Newman is 18, that's old enough to be tried as an adult.

We don't have any lawyers here to read into anyone's testimony, so I'd rather you stuck to the truth...

[standbyrival]

Wow, he's a runt. [says this guy]

In that case, the only truth you need to know is that voting for Sakura makes the most sense. If we're wrong, then wow, one up for Tohsaka.
