VLDR: Convention of the Minds - WORST ENDING

[Knockoff]

I’m going to head to the lobby now. There isn’t any time.

[AcidicBreeze]

Getting off the ground Nicole continues to get a look of panic
H-how long was i-i out for?

[Hawkwing425]

Abner, you'll need help. Your knee's still fractured...

[PolyesterHomes]

Nicole gets up and sprints out of the room. Inteus goes with Abner and helps get him out of the room. To PM's.

[PolyesterHomes]

Everyone except Michael, Tom, Terrance, Peter, and Joan returns to the main lobby. Johnson arrives at about the same time the seven of you do, smirking to himself. The projectors come on, showing Michael, Tom, Terrance, Peter, and Joan in a hallway, surrounded on all sides by metal. Johnson speaks up.

"Welcome, the seven of you, to the third decision game. There are five rooms available to the participants who eagerly stormed in to try and overthrow my control of the situation. Unfortunately for them, they've blundered right into the third game. Your choice is simple. In a moment, I will have you all vote on a room to spare from being cleansed with Mustard Gas. For every person that dies, you will each gain a point. If nobody dies, you will all get two points. That is all you need to deal with for the moment. Now, let's watch and see what they do."

[ChubbyMooshroom9]

...What? What the hell happened?

[Hawkwing425]

Michael too...? God, I... five of them...

[Doc's face shows an expression of regret and illness.]

[Knockoff]

...Okay. So you’re essentially saying this escape attempt would only succeed if you willed it?

[PolyesterHomes]

"Of course. I'm the one dealing the cards at this table. Did you really expect me to allow them to escape with impunity?"

[Hawkwing425]

Johnson... you son of a bitch!

[Doc looks FURIOUS.]

[renetear]

I figured it would never be that easy, but no point in saying that now.

[Knockoff]

And what happens to them if they succeed? Will let you them get out of here? What happens to the rest of us if they do?

[AcidicBreeze]

Nicole seems to be in a panic
....

[PolyesterHomes]

Pam goes and blocks the voting booth doors. Johnson laughs in response.
"I suppose I'll have just have you go to your dorms then."

[Knockoff]

If we don’t vote, does that default to sparing them?

[PolyesterHomes]

"If you don't vote, i'll just shoot you. Unless, of course, you all refuse to vote, in which case i'll let everyone go. Do remember that votes are anonymous."

[Knockoff]

People need to get into the voting booths to vote, correct? So as long as no one enters, the result would functionally be the same as a coalition?

[ChubbyMooshroom9]

Block the dorms as well, Inteus.

[Hawkwing425]

I-I'm not sure I'd be that effective, but...

Johnson, I mean this in all sincerity, fuck you. Fuck you for killing innocent people because you want to put other, generally clueless people in charge of the governments of countries split apart by your actions.

[PolyesterHomes]

Inteus blocks the ways to the dormitory's. Johnson rolls his eyes.

"I suppose I could send you all to seperate rooms."

[Knockoff]

If not voting has the same result as a coalition, there’s no reason for anyone to attempt anything. Even if I wanted nine points, those points would still go to everyone else as well and, well, I can’t beat them in a race, you see.

[Hawkwing425]

If any of them live, are you just going to send them back into the group? Or are you going to toy around with their lives more for your own sick amusement?

[AcidicBreeze]

"W-what do you m-mean by that j-johnson?

[PolyesterHomes]

"The survivors will be allowed to return to the seven of you."

[Hawkwing425]

And if there's no vote, you'll spare them? Or will you just kill them off?
