Experiment 194

[Kennifer]

"We should definitely hear everyone's stories, yes. Especially from night before last because that's when the poison got put on the doorknobs, but last night too. Yeah even if nobody died, somebody coulda seen someone transform, something that'd match up with what the little girl saw in the cafeteria. Or somebody could've wanted to kill but got stopped or something."

[Dookie]

Once Sid comes over, H gets out a bat and knocks Sid unconscious with it.

“They'll wake up in about 10 minutes. I just need to inject them with the serum.”

He walks over to Zen.

“Currently, we have 12 people, and of those twelve, half of them think you killed Tony. Now, normally, this would call for an arrest, I'd get the police over here, and they'd deal with it. But this is top secret…”

He smiles evily behind his mask.

“Any last words?”

[TalesofUnder]

...I missed the action. Shame. 

[Cassie]

"I don't think that trying to force people to talk is going to work, anyway. I'm guessing diplomacy's not a thing where you're from, huh?"

"It's just bloody tiring for me."

[Oggy123]

Kirby looks towards Zen, slightly concerned.

[LavenderDream]

Well, if that's the case. If half of you guys voted for me, then enjoy the rest of your days in this contained hell.

[Dookie]

Jessica wakes up and finds everyone else, deciding to stay close for today.

---

Well, if that's the case. If half of you guys voted for me, then enjoy the rest of your days in this contained hell.

"Follow me..."

Execution

H takes Zen into the bullet train station.

"Peaceful, isn't it?"

As the train comes in, H breathes in...and pushes Zen into the train.

The speedy train runs over Zen, killing them instantly.

H runs back to everyone, cackling.

"Zen was the shapeshifter. And good news, you just helped kill an innocent!"

"If you knew that, then why didn't you-"

[Oggy123]

Kirby stares in apparent shock and silence.

[Kennifer]

"..."

[Oggy123]

Kirby then just... stares at the ones that had voted Zen off.

[Cassie]

"Zen was the shapeshifter. And good news, you just helped kill an innocent!"

Cue Banch facepalming, putting back their skinsuit's face back together all the while.

This day has been nothing but a bunch of suck.

[PointMaid]

Well Damn. It. All.

He sits down against the wall in a sulk.

[wingedcatgirl]

Hallie pinches the bridge of their nose, exasperated. "All right, new rule, no more private votes unless you want people to wonder why you're so eager to have someone dead before they can make their case."

[PointMaid]

Jack looks over at Hallie with a raised eyebrow.

...I'll take the loss on this one, I'm as responsible for it as anyone else here. Probably more so. Look, I wanted Zen to defend himself. I asked him to tell us anything he knew that first day when I put him on my short-list suspect list. I expected him to say something helpful! And nobody was objecting or had a thing to say today. Couldn't just sit back and do nothing when someone was gonna get away, could I?

Not sure we can keep people from voting in secret if they're gonna take those votes, though. Like, how do we police that? I could've even said I was voting for him and not done it. Not sure what good that would've done, but yeah.

[wingedcatgirl]

"Oh, yeah, I know it's realistically impossible to enforce. But starting now, if anyone private votes and I somehow find out about it, there'll be hell to pay."

[Zanreo]

"EVEN IF WE GO BY WHAT OTHERS SAY... CAN WE [[Trust]] EVERYONE TO BE [[HonestPeople]]?

[wingedcatgirl]

"Theoretically, there's no reason why we shouldn't," Hallie says. "... is what I woulda said before what's-their-face turned up dead."

[Kennifer]

"I mean clearly there's some bad seeds here. I'm not talking the vote, 'cause that was probably just a mistake based on lack of alibi or whatever. But there's people who've got no tact when it comes to getting stories out of people, and of course whoever thought it was a good idea to put poison on doorknobs."

[Magolor]

A rather normal-sounding grunt sounded from your feet, for it is now SID, LEADER OF DOOM, to be stuck in whatever's going on.

"Ow, that— OHHH, you evil employer, I should have known when you denied my petition for my pay to go back to normal because I'm just wearing this stuff for religious purposes!" Somebody please help this poor cultist out.

[Cassie]

"...the fuck are you talking about?" Banch asks in incredule over what Sid said.

[Dookie]

Time passes throughout the day…

Night Phase starts at 2:00 PM CST today.

[Oggy123]

Kirby looks at Sid, the newcomer, in curiosity.

[Zanreo]

Spamton then appears next to Sid...

"A NEWCOMER? HEY H EY! SO YOU'RE HAVING [Problems with your Job]?  WELL I CAN H3LP OUT WITH THAT!"

[Kennifer]

Melissa just waves to the newcomer, looking slightly perplexed.

[PointMaid]

...Eh, if you can code or you like snowboarding, or, like, both, look me up after we get out of here. I've got positions that can use that. J.S. Smith, by the way.
