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.]]

[So. Previous tests have revealed that taking a lighter into the Loyalty Chamber is apparently a-okay. This has made Dan particularly curious about what Friend Computer does and doesn't classify as a "weapon".

So now he's hiding his shiv in his shoe. This can't possibly go wrong.

And apparently it doesn't because he's still alive. An arrogant shitbag smile creeps up his lips.]

Alright, so what do we debate since conehead over there killed over asshat number 2?

[ Yomiel is still radiating "PISSED OFF" after this afternoon, but since when has being pissed off ever kept him from participating in trials? ]

Does anybody have any arguments for why we shouldn't all vote for Sakura right now and be done with it?

[standbyrival]

Do we seriously need a whole hour for this. . .

[ and after a while, Sakura withdraws a piece of folded paper from her pocket, holding onto it tightly ]

Well...if you're all going to vote for me either way, there's something I need to do. I'd appreciate it if someone could give this note to neesan--Rin Tohsaka--whenever she comes back. It's nothing secret, so you can read it if you really want to.

--and not vandalized beforehand or outright thrown away to spite either of us. It's somewhat important. [ lookin' at you, dan >8| ]

Heh, hope we can nab the commie this time! I know I saw some whiskey over in the storage closet and my throat is dry, let me tell ya, kids.
