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 do get two cans of food and 15 coins for each person, what, you have a problem with it being the same as last time? We're busy over here, quit your bellyaching.

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 two cans of food and a memory! We're switching it up a bit. 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.

[Jeez, what was up with this kid, anyway? He had definitely done something.]

Y'know, I don't know how. But, you seemed pretty glad to see me in that coma, and the timing's just a little too perfect, don't you think?

[Zelos was calm, and collected, and definitely not about to punch the brat's face in.]

[He shrugs.]

Yes, I'll admit that the timing was perfect, but that hardly means I'm guilty of anything. You don't even have a potential method in mind, let alone actual proof. Why don't you do some research before you go around throwing baseless accusations?

[Clive gets up from his seat now so he can go get another tray of delicious gruel.]

Hey, we're not done talking.

[Zelos reaches out a hand to try and grab Clive's jacket before he can get away. He wasn't getting off that easily. His free hand is balled into a fist at his side.]

And you seem pretty cocky for somebody who didn't do anything. The accusations aren't baseless, and you know it, so why don't you just come clean, you little brat.

[Zelos hated to admit it, but Clive was right; he didn't have any proof or method in mind, so the accusations did seem baseless, but fuck that. As far as Zelos was concerned, the little asshole's smug smile was proof enough.]

[Clive takes note of that fist by Zelos's side, completely prepared for it to come flying at him any moment now, honestly. He's obviously not giving in, though; he even has the audacity to laugh at Zelos's response.]

I'm "cocky" because your accusations are so absurd that I can't even take them seriously! Do you even hear yourself? Me, put you into a coma? I've never heard anything more outrageous in my life. If this is the best case you can make, then I see no point in continuing this conversation any further.

[Trying to yank that hand off his jacket now so he can step away.]

[And, that was it. No more mister nice guy. As soon as Clive wriggled free from Zelos' grip, the redhead responded by throwing a punch aimed directly towards his face.]

[He'd been holding back earlier, because punching Clive out of nowhere wasn't going to earn him points with anyone, especially since everyone else would probably see the attack as unprovoked.]

[But fuck this kid, it had been one thing if he'd managed to put Zelos in the coma and then owned up to it; still really shitty, yeah, but not rage-inducing. However, not only was the kid trying to cover it up, he was acting like a cocky asshat on top of everything else. What kind of psycho did that?]

[God, did throwing the punch make him feel better, though.]

Y'know, I don't think I need to make my case any further. You had the motive and the opportunity; hell, for all I know, you could've cut a deal with Calhoun for some tranquilizer.

[Clive sees the punch coming, but he's only able to move quickly enough to turn his head away so at least Zelos's fist doesn't come into contact with his face. Instead, he takes a direct hit to the side of his head, and the force of the blow is enough to make him stumble back a bit.

He keeps a hand on the spot he was hit and looks back at Zelos, smile gone from his face now.]

Fine, keep living in your fantasy world where convictions don't require evidence if that's what you truly want. I'm going to stay here in the real world, thanks.

[And now he makes yet another attempt to walk away and get more gruel, still holding his head in pain.]

[That is what you get.]

[Zelos has many other biting things he would like to say and many other things he would like to do, but this kid was pretty damn good at pushing buttons, and the only way to win would be for Zelos to get the last laugh.]

[At least he was able to ~~punch~~ wipe the smile off the brat's face.]

I think I will. And you [He says pointedly and not at all threateningly] can keep living in your imaginary world where you think you actually got away with this shit.
