DEAD 02

[thecomputer]

[Greetings, terminatees!]

[You regain consciousness in a waiting room of some sort. Something is clearly odd - your entire body is slightly transparent, and everything you were carrying with you aside from your clothes is gone. On the plus side, you seem to be impervious to all harm.]

[There is an end table with two stacks of papers. One is a large area to write in (there is a small assortment of pens next to this), and the other all bear the same message:]

Congratulations! You have died.

Please wait in this area until such time as the exercise is terminated. At that time, you will be transferred to your appropriate afterlife. If you were assigned a Communist role, rest easy knowing that any ultimatum given as part of your motivation was false.

If you have any questions, please shout them into the air, and a representative will get back to you within 5-100,000 business days. If you have any final messages for the living, please write them on form B and submit it into the slot in the south wall. Delivery is not guaranteed.

[Sure enough, there’s a slot. In addition, a hallway connects this room with a much larger room, not unlike a movie theatre. A large screen on the far wall shows various events back in the facility as they unfold in real time. A side alcove provides slightly transparent popcorn and a water cooler, although hunger, thirst and exhaustion don’t seem to exist here.]

Moge-ko still hates you. She doesn't want to go to Prosciutto Paradise because she still has too much fun left to have.

[At least there's popcorn. She helps herself.]

[absolutejustice]

Shut up, enemy of justice. The only thing I'm happy about right now is that you're a corpse.

[dictator_ko]

Justice, is it? Is justice really what you want?

[absolutejustice]

Yes, justice is what I want! I want every last Communist to die, and I want those deaths to be as painful as possible!

[dictator_ko]

Well, I suppose fooling yourself is one way to live. But Moge-ko hates people like that.

[dictator_ko]

So she enjoys taking lives. ♪

MESSAGES FOR THE LIVING

[thecomputer]

Form B is limit one per Citizen. Be careful - once you submit your message, you cannot change it.

[dictator_ko]

Moge-ko hates you all. At least she has popcorn. After this, she's going to Prosciutto Paradise. ♪

[ossifragant]

In the end, we all get exactly what we deserve.

[ossifragant]

This is the third time.

I wonder if it'll actually stick this time.

[dictator_ko]

Oh? Greed's died before? ♪

[ossifragant]

That's right.

Two times. One was a long, long time ago. The second was right before we all got here.

They say "third time's a charm," so I think I'm all outta luck now, kiddo.

[dictator_ko]

If Moge-ko had a toy who kept coming back like that, she'd be happy.

[dictator_ko]

Moge-ko wishes she had your luck. I'm going to Prosciutto Paradise.

[ossifragant]

There's no paradise where I'm headed.

You don't want to go where I will, trust me. Unless Prosciutto Paradise is an ironic name.

[dictator_ko]

She meant coming back. She still has more playing left to do. ♪

During the trial

[absolutejustice]

Heh heh heh... It's happening. It's finally happening!

This is the beginning of the triumph of justice! The communists are already as good as dead!

[ossifragant]

Are you certain?

I'm not. They'll kill off another one of us tonight, I'm sure of it. They're already turning on each other.

[At... least Yomiel and Kimbley are getting along. That's pleasantly surprising.]

[dictator_ko]

At least it's interesting to watch. ♪

[dictator_ko]

All it is, is people picking who to kill because a computer told them to. ♪

[absolutejustice]

The communists sacrificed their right to sympathy when they killed me and Greed! Orders or no, they are complicit in acts of evil, and will pay the price!

[dictator_ko]

The citizen team killed me. No one's innocent.

[absolutejustice]

You murdered Anthy before any of this started. Your death wasn't murder, it was retribution.

[ossifragant]

To be fair, they were after that worthless sack of shit, Clay.

It just happened that friend computer paired me up with that worm of a man for this game.

[absolutejustice]

You or Clay, it doesn't matter. They acted in the service of evil, and now they will die.
