[ wincing, kazuki pulls half a step back from nodd on pure reflex. ]

I... don't want that, either.

[ execution is a horrible thing, and it reminds him way too much of-- ]

It made some people angry. I think that matters.

[murdergate]

Not angry enough to vote for me.

[ nodd causes turmoil but hasn't killed anyone on the eudora (yet). it's so frustrating to not be able to draw enough aggro. ]

I never pretended to be unbiased, myself.

[teenrebellion]

We all want to vote for someone innocent even less than we want to vote for someone whose mind is being screwed with, you know.

[murdergate]

I can't vote for someone when I know I'm condemning them. They won't let you vote for yourself. They won't give you any option that isn't--

[ repugnant. painful. nodd lapses. ]

[teenrebellion]

...Did you try voting for yourself?

[ a little alarmed, a little curious. not that it really matters in the end, he supposes. ]

This whole thing is designed to be unfair to everyone. I wish it weren't, but... it's stupid. Whatever this is, it's just meant to hurt all of us.

[murdergate]

Of course I did. It won't allow you. I picked someone I knew wouldn't be getting other votes.

[ as close as he could get to throwing his vote away. in the eleventh ninth hour. ]

You're right. It's all a crock. Tomorrow it'll make us stand there and watch through a pane of unbreakable glass as they make one of his friends kill him for an audience.

[ fucking jeff ]

[teenrebellion]

Good to know. [ why

anyway. he nods slowly. ]

That's what I'm expecting. I don't get why they'd do that, though. They started out saying they'd get a trial, but this is a total one-eighty.

[murdergate]

Because they're lying. Not the senior crew. I get the sense they're as fucked as we are. This all reeks like intent from someone higher on the foodchain.

[ now, to be fair, kazuki may recall nodd has never shown a smidgeon of trust for authority. but on the other hand: murdergame. ]

[teenrebellion]

[ ...sighs. ]

Either that, or a really screwed up glitch in these nanites that they're trying to cover up and doing a terrible job of it. There's definitely something going on.
