majoritygame | SECOND MAIN GAME

TRIAL 2

Saturday comes again, and the familiar intercom tone goes off, with the voice of the Administrator not far behind.

"Attention, guests! The Main Game is about to begin. Please make your way to the elevators at this time. As a reminder, attendance is mandatory, and anyone who refuses or runs late will be terminated."

By now, you know the process, as you find yourself pressing on the ⧖ button to take you to the trial room. The massive hole in the far wall from Aaron and Mugen's encounter with the Process just last week is gone, and instead of a sunset, the walls are projecting a quiet beach vibe, with a rising sun in the far distance. Along the perimeter of the room, about a dozen of the tripod Process robots linger, looking like they're watching things go on then really anything else.

Otherwise, everything seems to be mostly the same. The couches and chairs are the same, and the hourglass podiums are there, with the requisite spare tablets lay on them if needed. Aside from the background, one could imagine that things are exactly the same as you all left them, for the most part.

That is, if it wasn't for the person already standing in the room with their back to you when you all arrive, twirling the open red and white pinwheel parasol in their hands. As enough people filter in, a woman turns and faces the group with a smile.

"Nice to finally see you all," she beams, her voice immediately recognizable as that of the Administrator's. She moves over to one of the chairs and sits. "Shall we get started, then?"

Regardless of your next move, the sands of the hourglass start to fall, and the final Main Game begins. What comes next...?

[He just looks scandalized for a moment before the anger returns. He's definitely never been this animated before.]

Figures. You couldn't simply stop after what happened back in London.

[ there's actually a flash of anger on stronghart's part as well, though he tamps it down and regains his cool quickly. ]

Of course not. Your knowledge has been useful in this place, but you know better than anyone here that I don't abide criminals.

[ 🍿🍿🍿 ]

[Having it said like that...it makes him clench his fists tightly- even his metallic hand, which makes an eerie scraping noise of metal claws on metal.]

You couldn't possibly understand what led me to those circumstances. Not that it matters now.

Yes- I would have to agree. Are you two quite done?

[man over 30 number 3 has joined the fray]

[Wow?! Maybe he isn't?!]

Stay out of this.

[ ... ]

No, the man is right. I don't wish to further distract from the matter at hand, important as it is.

But let me just say this — the law is the law, Mr. Drebber. Your circumstances don't put you above it.
