If there's one thing Dio's good at, it's assuming the worst in other people while being a complete asshat himself.

Can we just blame everything bad that happens on Dio? It's not like we have any reason to not blame him for anything. And I don't care if he has an alibi, he probably had a hand in it somehow.

Robindaybird posted:

remember that basically Clover's face is bugged so she's smiling all the time instead of emoting like she's suppose to.

Honestly, it's a bug that really adds to the story, rather than detracts for it. Makes Clover look like a total sociopath. Remember, in at least one reality she was an ax murderer, so there's always the possibility she's a lunatic hiding behind a thin mask of sanity.
This time, it's Alice's death rather than her brother's that may serve to break that mask.

No one left uncured.
I got you.


VLR OST: [Sinisterness]




...
...


Hey... Clover, can you choose "ally"?


...


We'll be stuck at 6 points if we both choose "betray".
But if we both cooperate, we'll get 2 points, and then we'll have 8. That means it'll be pretty easy for us to get 9 in the next round.


...


Clover...?

Listen in: [English/Japanese]


Yeah...?


I said I want you to choose "ally".


Okay...
You'll... choose "ally" too... right?


Of course.


...
...





I was preparing to enter an AB Room of my own when I heard Phi's voice at my elbow and turned.



Listen in: [English/Japanese]




Oh, hey Phi...
Something up?


How are you planning to vote?


I was just talking to Clover about that. We're planning to both vote "ally".


Yeah, I thought so.


Huh?


Listen to me, Sigma.
Because Luna is... because Luna's not voting in this round, her vote will default to "ally".
Her opponent is Dio and me.
That means we're pretty much guaranteed to have 9 BP by the end of this round.


You and Dio are going to choose "betray"?


Luna's only got 1 BP left...
But she's not wearing her bracelet anymore.
You saw that, right?
That means it won't do anything if her BP goes negative.
Well, it's not like it can make her any deader anyway.


...




If you can get to 9 BP, then I'll take you with us.


Wait. You mean you're planning to escape?


Of course. If you don't come with us, you're going to be stuck here for the rest of your life.


Why? If you just wait until everyone's got 9 BP--


I can't do that.
You really think Dio's going to stick around once he's got enough points to split?


...
...




The number nine door's only going to open once.
If you pick "ally" and Clover does too, then you only have 8 points.
I promise you Dio's going to make a break for it as soon as he can.
If you want to have any chance at getting out, you need those 3 points, now.


So if I want to get out, I have to betray Clover?


Right.


Why are you telling me this?
How do I know you didn't just tell Clover the same thing?


Talk to Clover? I'd have about as much luck talking to a potato right now.
The truth is I want you to come with me.


Why?




You just know, huh?


...
...


Did you tell K?
He's got 6 points right now too, you know.


No, I haven't talked to him.
He's playing against Tenmyouji.
Tenmyouji's only got 1 point left.


So if he chooses "ally", he's going to get penalized...


Exactly.

[Music fades out]




It's almost time.
Remember what I said. You have to choose "betray".



She looked me in the eye until I nodded, then turned and jogged to her door.





999 OST: [Trepidation]








(If she does, then all I have to do is choose "betray", and I'm out of here...)
(No. I promised I'd choose "ally", so that's what I'm going to do.)
(...But Dio's almost certainly going to have 9 BP after this round...)
(If he gets out, I'm going to be stuck here forever.)




Nine... Eight... Seven...


(Damnit...)
(What the hell am I supposed to do?)


Three... Two... One...



What a dilemma! Will you vote to be nice, or to get the hell out of here?

On one hand we'd have to be idiot's to not pick Betray (Clover's totally going to pick betray) but on the other I get the feeling that picking Ally will be more interesting. If only to see whether Phi will do anything to stop Dio. After all she seems set on escaping with Sigma for some reason.

Oh well, everything's gone to hell already anyways, might as well pick betray. I really don't see how we can make a difference for the better here by staying. I just hope Sigma beelines for the exit before Clover finds another axe.

We can get clover out if we ally and she betrays. That'll make her safe, then we can just re-do our own choices and save ourselves afterwards. Flawless reasoning! :v:

Clover is about as reliable as a cheese sandwich that's been left in the sun, I see no reason why we should expect her to ally just because she vaguely suggested that she would.

The cheese sandwich that's been left in the sun also has a better track record for taste and has never made us shout out that it's HELLA MOE. That sandwich is out there, far from this stupid warehouse and we shouldn't cede it to some rear end in a top hat like Dio.

Unfortunately, there's no way we're escaping this game because there is no chance that Clover is going to pick Ally. We're doomed either way but if we betray Clover she may try to kill us so I say we vote Ally, because then she might kill Dio or something. :v:

Voted Betray because it will probably lead to another Dio escape. :haw:
No, seriously, drat, Clover is out of it. I think it'd be more interesting if she votes Ally just because she's so incapable of thinking right now that she just does what Sigma tells her to do. But it seems super-likely she votes Betray.
Assuming she votes Ally, what might happen? Sigma, Phi, Dio, and MAYBE K make a mad rush for the door, and then the bombs explode? Clover goes all qu'est-ce que on Sigma? Tenmyougi finds a way to prevent everyone from leaving?

K's shown an unwillingless to Betray if it'll kill someone. No such compunctions if it'll let him escape otherwise (see the Ally with Alice path).

I'm not sure why this is a thing either. :shepface:
