ambidex voting #11
 Chop chop, everyone downstairs to the first floor! You're all done the puzzle rooms, so you know what to do. Well, most of you, but it's pretty basic, just enter any Ambidex Room you like (they're not elevators, you ignorant test subjects) then vote! How does voting work? Very simple! Pick Ally or Betray, and that's it! But with every round, there's always some prizes, depending on what you vote, so here's this rounds: For anyone who chooses Ally, well, if your opponent chooses Ally as well, then 2BP for each of you. You get all that friendship, blah blah, whatever. For anyone who chooses Betray, and gets a Betray in return, your BP doesn't change at all, but you might get some coins for your trouble, let's saaaay, 20? Generous, I know. Now, the best part: for anyone who chooses Betray and their opponent chooses Ally, Calhoun will be very generous with his prizes, again! You'll get 15 coins and a memory! Also, as usual, those who pick Betray get 3BP instead of just 2. But if you're the poor sap that chose Ally and got stabbed in the back, well, sorry, you lose 2 BP. At least you got stabbed for the greater good, right? And plus, you might get a little something. He'll talk to you later about it. But anyway, happy voting! Calhoun will see all of you later with the results. |

When I regained consciousness, I was lying on the floor in the AB Room. Alfendi was standing in front of the voting machine, his hand hovering over the screen. Even in my half awake state, I could tell that something was very... off about him. He seemed like he was deeply angry, and when he realized that I was awake, it agitated him even further. He told me to go back to sleep, but obviously I didn't.
Then I asked him who our opponent was, and he said, "It doesn't matter. You're interrupting me - we're voting Betray." However, he lacked conviction. There was clear uncertainty in his tone, and despite announcing that he was picking Betray, he didn't actually do anything. Then he called me a frail, injured mouse and told me to keep my head down and my mouth shut. I think he was just trying to rile me up to keep me from noticing his uncertainty, but it didn't work.
I went over to him and asked him what the hold up was, which prompted him to threaten to slit my throat, though it was clearly an empty threat. He began to panic and then told me that he didn't actually know who we were up against. I know it sounds ridiculous, but... I don't think he was lying. He seemed genuinely distressed about it.
So then... I encouraged him to go through with his vote. It was the safest option for us, since we didn't know what kind of person was voting against us or what happened in the puzzle room. Plus Alfendi only had 5 BP, and... I didn't want him to go through what I did so early in the game. [You know, the whole starving thing.] I hope you can understand that it wasn't out of malicious intent on either of our parts.
Anyway, for the rest of the time we were in there, he continued to sling insults at me and display a maturity level that even Jake surpasses. Since he couldn't even remember the puzzle room, I was wondering if something could have happened in there to trigger his sudden... personality change.

Are you alright?

I'll be fine. I'm far more concerned about Alfendi. And you.
