LAST WORDS

[thecomputer]

[As the votes are revealed, a ring of metal bars snap up in place around Sakura’s podium, folding and meeting overhead to create a cage.]

You have voted for the elimination of Sakura-Y-COM-1.

The sentence will be carried out in one minute.

EXECUTION

[thecomputer]

[One minute after that declaration, Sakura’s podium/cage suddenly plummets downwards, into the inscrutable depths. A second later, tiny hatches open all along the walls below, and massive torrents of raging flames emerge. You can feel the blazing heat even from as far away as the inferno is.]

[After ten seconds, the incineration stops, and the floor slides back into place, the door opening once more. There are now fourteen participants remaining.]

[On your PDC, the UI background has changed from yellow to green, and your User IDs have been updated.]

SURVIVOR

[thecomputer]

[As you're checking your PDCs, you may notice another change. The text saying "Rin-R-COM-1" flickers momentarily, switching to "Rin-G-███-1."

[A tube slides open in the Loading Bay.]

[harshwords]

[ Although Rin seems rather calm when she shows up, she's actually also rather annoyed as she seems to look rather intensely at the PDC, completely out of it as she studies it rather carefully. ]

[respring]

[ She doesn't flinch when the bars go up, instead folding her hands to her chest and looking around warily. ]

...I'm sorry. I voted at random this time, but--

[ a few moments of silence ]

I was required to participate.

[angry_jerk]

[RUNNING TO THE LOADING BAY RUNNING TO THE LOADING BAY RUNNING TO THE LOADING BAY FOUND THE FUCKER AND THROWING A SHOE AT HER HEAD. HAHAHA!]

[schrodingers_man]

[ Congratulations, Rin, you are actually a higher priority for Yomiel than sandwiches; once they're let out of the Loyalty Chamber, he makes a beeline for the Loading Bay to greet her. ]

So do you know what $SURVALUE is now?

[plentyfriendly]

[After retreiving Sakura's spare note, Phi came straight here, figuring this would be the reentry point.

She's glad she was right; she has a lot to do.]

[harshwords]

[ Sorry, Dan.

But she's going to catch that shoe with absolutely no problems and then grossly drop it onto the floor. Who the hell threw that? ]

[angry_jerk]

[Clearly Yomiel because no one is hiding behind doors no sir.]

[harshwords]

[ ..... She raises a brow curiously at that, and then replies evenly with a grin. ]

I do.

[angry_jerk]

No, that seems fair. Dude's an asshole.

[harshwords]

[ Well be glad she won't suspect a thing, Dan. But she will find out. And she will punch you. ]

[harshwords]

It seems a lot of you were waiting for me to show up.

[fullonbraced]

Heeeeey, Riiiin!

[Prepare for Robin in three, two...]

What's it like being dead? What's it like?!

[respring]

[ shrugging wordlessly. She really did pick a random name. ]

[schrodingers_man]

And? Is it what we thought it would be?

[fullonbraced]

We're all required to participate, man! It's all one, big messed up game!

[harshwords]

I can win with anybody, if that's what you're asking.

[harshwords]

[ She's going to dodge if she's being tackled, but only ever so slightly. ]

I don't exactly remember being dead... So I suppose it's more like being blacked out for a long period of time.

[fullonbraced]

[No, no tackle. She's not the type.]

So it's like... just taking a nap? That's pretty spooky, man!

[in_plain_sight]

[Pretty much impassively, Mukuro hands Rin a note. Maybe Phi got to her first, maybe not, what does having a spare hurt.]

Do you know what happened since you died, or do you need to be caught up?

[respring]

I was required to pick a target to kill! To murder! Do you understand? Someone is being held hostage against me. And now he's going to die, too. I'm...

[harshwords]

A very long nap. ... Do you have anything else you want to ask me?

[harshwords]

You'll probably have to fill me in on the specifics.
