Just chiming in to note that I'm recording the next bit but I'm currently adjusting to a slightly evil commute. But don't worry. Exams didn't stop me and employment sure as hell won't either.

Wow. I said employment wouldn't stop me, and I stand by that. Know what did stop me, though? A 2-week internet outage caused by bureaucracy. I've actually had the next couple of updates recorded and semi-written up for a while now, but it turns out getting a PC online through a tethered iPhone is a lot more difficult than it has any right to be.

Nevertheless, I got it up and running, and I just got done slooooooooowly uploading stuff. So let's get back on track!

57% of 381 respondents consider Phi's escape plan worth more than Clover's trust.




Round two of the Ambidex Game has been completed.
Results will be displayed in the warehouse.
Thank you for your participation.
Ambidex Gates now opening.





The door ground open, and I stepped out.
All around me other AB Rooms were disgorging their occupants.







Phi's voice echoed hollowly across the room.
I followed her eyes to the number nine door...

...And to Dio.




Dio...
No...



I shook my head.
I had to get to that door.





VLR OST: [Eeriness]

Listen in: [English/Japanese]




No! He's going to try and open it!


drat right I am.


But the results...!


Ha... Like I need to wait for that.


Ah... Dio's BP was at 6.
His opponent was Luna, and she is... well, she is as she is.
Her vote would have defaulted to "ally".


All he had to do was pick "betray"...


And he'd have 9 points, right?




But...
Phi was Dio's partner...


And her BP was the same as Dio's.
That means she has 9 now as well.




It was 9 the moment we stepped out of the AB Room.


Why didn't you stop Dio from choosing "betray"?


You got the wrong idea, old man. This wasn't just my decision.
We both decided to vote this way.


Is that true?


Yeah. I didn't have a choice.


You didn't...
Because of you, Luna's BP is -1!


So?
What, she's going to die again?
Zero can pump all the poison he wants into her, it's not going to make a difference now.
Besides, her bracelet's already fallen off.


You--!




I believe I heard you cry out "wait" as he headed toward the number nine door.


Are you planning to wait for the rest of us?
Did you just want to get your BP up to 9 to reduce your own risk...?




The only reason I stopped Dio is because I needed to know what someone else voted.


Someone else...?


But that would be...

[Music fades out]




Please direct your attention to the results screen.















Sorry Clover. Please don't be mad.

Well this should be interes- ha ha ha yeah right, it'll just be a game over before we get through the door. Dio immediately running for the door does provide Sigma with a good defense for his vote, though.

I'm really surprised that people are pissed off that Phi and Dio voted to betray the ALREADY DEAD person. Dio's an rear end in a top hat, but completely right for once. It's not like Luna can get deader.

I think they're more annoyed that Phi and Dio have 9BP and are planning to leave, not really because they betrayed Luna. As far as they're concerned, if Phi and Dio had allied anyway, most people would have 8 BP and be unable to leave, and there wouldn't be a problem (from their point of view). Never mind the fact that allying in that case would make near to no sense, it just would've resulted in a better situation for them if Phi and Dio had done so.

Huh. Clover actually picked Ally. That was unexpected. But there's still no way we're going to be getting out of that door. Clover will either stop us or Dio will sneak out in some confusion and the door will shut behind him.

Hopefully Phi will actually explain some poo poo to us though, and I wonder if this decision will be used to earn Phi's trust in another timeline. It's totally going to be used to keep Clover from trusting us ever again.

Eh, it's not so much that as Phi's reasoning was unassailable - Dio would try to get out as soon as he could, and once he's out, that's it for everyone left behind.

You betrayed me, Sigma...


...


Why...?


I... What other choice did I have?




You liar!
You're a coward!
You don't care about anybody but yourself!
All you wanted was to get out of here!
You're horrible! I hate you!



Wait a minute. Just listen to me for a second...
Whatever I did, Dio and Phi were going to get 9 BP.
The door would have been opened whether I had 9 points or not.


So?! All that means is that you picked "betray" because you didn't wanna get left behind!


No, that's not it. How could we know if they would go get help once they escaped?
I can trust Phi. But Dio is different.
I didn't know what Dio might do to Phi after they went through the door. What if he turned out to be Zero Sr.?
So I figured that if they were going to escape anyway, I should go with them and make sure they--


Is that it? Is that your excuse?!
Liar! Liar!
You're just like Dio!
You're a coward!



...


...


...




I was stupid to trust you.


Clover, I...


...

[Music fades out]



I heard a clang, and turned--










Gonna have plenty of time to watch soaps on the outside, so I didn't feel like I needed to stick around to see how this little drama played out.

VLR OST: [Strain]


Dio!


Dio!


All right lady and gentleman. Shall we?


...


...


Why so serious?
This really isn't the time for hesitation.
You both crossed a line you weren't supposed to cross.




But you didn't have a choice, did you? You had to survive!
Isn't that the way an animal thinks, though? Don't get me wrong, I see the logic, but it's kind of... animal logic.
Still, you made your bed. Now you gotta lie in it.




The losers, the weak? Throw 'em away!
That's how nature works, my friends--that's life at its most pure!
You get me?
Now c'mon, hurry up and--




The number nine door has been opened.
It will remain open for 9 seconds.




Anyway, I'm out. Peace!


Wait! Goddamnit, Dio!



Tenmyouji leapt forward. Dio faked left, then dashed right, slipping around Tenmyouji and through the door--






Zero.
The number nine door is closing.




But...


Shut up!
Just do it!




I looked at her, slightly confused.

But before I could respond, her hand closed around my arm like a vise, and she hauled me bodily through the open door.







[Music fades out]


The number nine door has closed.
This ends the Nonary Game.
Thank you for your participation.




Open up! Open this goddamn door!



Tenmyouji's voice was muffled by the thick steel, but I could still hear his desperation and anger.
I tried to ignore it.

If Clover allies, Sigma will have 9 points, which will probably lead to a plot lock or game over.
