Sacrifices must be made.

[heavenscorpse]

The administrators have made an announcement on the network with simple rules.

-There are two experiments coming up: the first is based on volunteers, and the second based on randomly selected tower residents.

-If you volunteer for the first experiment, you may 'save' another resident from being chosen for the second experiment by publicly listing their name when you volunteer.

-Volunteers cannot be chosen for the second experiment.

Of course you could choose not to volunteer, and perhaps you won't be chosen for either. After all, there's no telling what either of these experiments are...

[Volunteer. React to people volunteering with 'you stupid idiot' or the like. Laugh and popcorn.]

Comments

[scentofmakai]

[Because he's a big stupid idiot who does things like this all the time.]

Zett Takajo, volunteering to save Enoch of room 3-18!

[warriorscribe]

Zett.

*No, kid, just. No. That's not how this works, he protects kids not the other way around.*

[kindofademon]

[Oh man, he totally wants to get into this experiment.]

Volunteer!

[...right he gets to save someone... huh, who does he pick...]

I guess I'll save... Dr. Richtofen? Yeah, this isn't his type of thing, is it?

[absentapothecary]

...what, someone that doesn't hate Richtofen? That's new.

[alephbet]

Aleph Sinclair, volunteering to save April Sinclair.

[He's going to get lectured for this so hard, but really, there's no one who comes close in his worry about what could happen.]

[technologic]

[So did someone say lecture-]

W-w-what the hell?!

[heavenscorpse]

Volunteering to save Yosuke Hanamura, please?

[sunflowerfairy]

Um..Yotsbua's gonna par..par..join in and save Lucifel!

[scentofmakai]

You shouldn't do everything I do. I'm older than you.

[ajealouswind]

[There's no question that he'll volunteer himself to spare someone else pain. What takes longer to consider is who. Who, of those he knew, deserved it the most?]

I volunteer. Spare Tohko Amano in exchange for my participation.

[tohko_amano]

[And have a very surprised Book Girl, Kain.]

Oh! Kain, you don't have to do this..but thanks. Really, you don't have to worry about me.

[tohko_amano]

[The problem with Tohko was that there were way too many people that she wanted to save, so choosing one was difficult at best. But, after some thinking, she nodded and smiled to herself.]

Alright then! I volunteer! In exchange, please help out either Enoch, or, if you can't do that, then I'll save Ryoji!

[..This is becoming a habit.]

[notsogrimreaper]

Tohko-chan, what are you doing? You don't need to save me. I was going to volunteer myself!

[warriorscribe]

*And both Zett and Yotsuba have volunteered. Ugh. He might as well be able to spare someone. He doesn't see any rules about someone who's been saved from the second barring them from volunteering from the first.*

I volunteer for the first, and I spare... Solas Griene.

*All of his first picks had been spared already, and he doubted they would let Yotsuba withdraw. So it was a hard choice between her and Raphael, but in the end, he felt Raphael would probably be better able to handle it. Sola...she'd been through a lot already.*

[alephbet]

You're going to get lectured, but it won't be by me. Still, that might be half as bad as the experiment itself.

[technologic]

[Of course April would volunteer. She just had to think of who to save now that Aleph volunteered himself.]

I volunteer. And in exchange, I want to save Naoya. [She means the white-haired one.]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[Of course Veronica is going to volunteer. She's a protector, protecting people is what she does.]

I volunteer to save Rick Dawn.

[bashfulshifter]

O-Oh? [skfjladjf] N-No, you d-don't...ah...

...

...Th--Thank you.

[brbtalkingtogod]

[Okay, if everyone is going to be stupid, fine, then so be it!]

I volunteer to save Raphael.

[Since most other he could have helped have already volunteered, what does he have to lose?]

[scentofmakai]

We are really stupid, aren't we?

[godheals]

I volunteer to save Ishtar.

[papillonmagique]

I volunteer to save Judas Iscariot. [That may have possibly been the weirdest thing she has ever said, but whatever. Out of the all the people she knows in the tower, he's the one who needs to be saved the most.]

[thirtybits]

W-what?! No way you can't do that!!

[notsogrimreaper]

[It was a struggle to decide, but after a while of debating, Ryoji will step up.]

I volunteer to save Yukiko Amagi. I know it's part of the rules that I can only save one... but I apologize to those who I can't help. I'd save everyone if I could.

[He can only hope someone else will save Minato and Diarmuid...]

[evokingfool]

[This is an incredibly hard choice. After weighing it down...]

Minato Arisato. I volunteer to save Urotsuki.

[chainsawn]

[ Whereas everyone else might react somewhat.. over the top, emotion-wise, Urotsuki just blinks curiously and calmly. ]

.. Huh? I didn't mind having to be part though.. [ As if she ever does, she's way too careless. ]

[lightofhumanity]

[The people chaos would usually choose to save had already been claimed for, so, he had to fall back on a person that he would not have chosen normally.]

I offer myself so that Diarmuid shall be spared.

[fionnuisce]

...If anyone should be doing that, it's me.

[fionnuisce]

Lord El-Melloi the second volunteering to save Diarmuid Ua Duibhne.

...Nothing personal to everyone else, but I suppose if I can only choose one.

[oathshackledbird]

No! I forbid it!

[See this glare Waver? It sent Oscar fleeing for his life more than once.]

I am the one who should be offering myself for you!

[bashfulshifter]

[Why is he only allowed to save one! Well, while it's unfortunate that a good number of his friends have already volunteered themselves, at least that narrows down who he can save. Not that it makes him feel any better about it.]

...P-Patrick Dawn...v-volunteering to s-save Raven.

[floreatnoctem]

Yoshino Chidori volunteering to save Amada Ken.

[Because she would save Jin or Naoya, but in the long run it's Ken she knows she has to protect- no matter what the cost.]

[sicharia]

[Of course Claudia is volunteering herself. The only problem is, she can't choose who to save.]

Can I... I'm willing to undergo whatever you want to do to me more than once, if I can ask for more than one person. [...] As many times as I need to.

[terreifying]

You said it! Can I do the same thing? Rei Ayanami volunteering to save everyone by getting experimented on more than once!

[marriedthebloke]

Sola-ui Nuadha-re Sophia-ri volunteering to save Diarmuid Ua Duibhne. Just so no one truly close to him will have to do it.

[oathshackledbird]

[Sola-Ui will get no response, but not long after her announcement, this will show up.]

[irreverence]

Well if everyone's going to save the pretty one...

[Sigh.]

Asagi, volunteering to save Cu Chulainn because I know that moron's bound to volunteer to save someone.

[A beat-]

And I guess if anyone else really needs it, I can go a few times to save another ass or two. Whatever.

[puppy_lancer]

No.

[Lancer crosses his arms and glares at Asagi.]

No one is gonna sacrifice themselves for me. Especially not you.

[oathshackledbird]

This is Diarmuid Ua Duibhne volunteering. I don't care what you do to me. I want everyone who has volunteered themselves for me off the list. Rip me apart limb from limb a million times. Make me beg for death a million more. I don't care.

No one is going to stuffer for me. I will not stand for it!

[fionnuisce]

...That's not going to work and you know it.
