Experiment 10 - Beta

[testingphase]

[ The elevators do not take you up to your living area. Rather, they take you DOWN, to a small room with three white walls, and one that is a thick, translucent plastic. There appears to be a chute of some sort behind the plastic wall. ]

Now, in order to determine how well you know each other, we're going to see which teams are the most popular. The rules are simple:

* At the end of the test, each team will suffer an attack. Each attack will kill about half of everyone present.
* You may choose one team (other than your own) to defend from this attack. A team that is defended will not be harmed.
* If you wish to defend yourself instead of another team, you must choose a team to attack.
* You may not refuse to choose.

[Did you hear the part about the Bicycle built for two?]

[thebiggestloser]

「Ooh~ Patriotic!」

「Jobs, now! If you please~」

[threateningflour]

It's not quite the same as killing someone with your own hands.

[thebiggestloser]

[you did say you wanted me to play nicely with Icicle-kun]

[threateningflour]

[I can't quite decide if I should stop you or not]

[thebiggestloser]

[Shh, shh... only bonding now.]

[icicleiciclebaby]

People are dead, either way.

[icicleiciclebaby]

Let's see...

He's got the poker face of a model or a secret agent, and since we're being patriotic, congressman. Maybe stay at home dad, since he looks the type.

.. And magician.

[thebiggestloser]

「"Blue Steel," huh? Fair enough.」

「Magician's a nice touch. Number of...」

[Snerk]

「Children.」

Oh man.

50, one from every state, or 8 so he can be better than the Brady Bunch, and fine, some normal numbers too. 3, 2, 1.

[thebiggestloser]

[This is HILARIOUS.]

「Speaking of states, I'll need five locations now, if you don't mind~」
