[ after the trial and everyone goes back to their rooms and all that good stuff, rhys is going to be in his room, sitting in his pajamas on his bed and chewing on his thumbnail. after a moment, he'll call out. ]

Hey, Alice? I want to talk to you for a moment.

[ thank you for actually being an AI for once, alice. he just jerks his head in some sort of nod, biting his lip for a moment. ]

Yeah. If... if say Person B offered, beforehand, to step in if Person A was accused of murder -- I guess regardless if they did it or not, if the vote just swayed for them to be retired anyway, could Person A just... have Person B retire for them instead? If it was willing, of course!

Are you attempting a deal of some sort, Rhys? I will remind you that I am an artificial intelligence. Prediction is in my programming, though it is something I must improve on gradually. Do correct me if I am mistaken.

[ pinching the bridge of his nose here. you're the worst person he knows, alice. ]

No but your subtly routine needs some work. Here's what I want: if Fiona is ever up as a suspect during a trial and wins the majority vote, kill me instead of her. Fiona takes the role of someone who killed and got away with the murder, unable to participate in the game and be killed by other players. She can go home at the end. Can you agree to this?

I am afraid this is impossible and deviates from my programming, Rhys. The only scenario in which you could be retired in someone's place would be in the instance that you request to be a suspect and receive the popular vote. In this case, you will be the retired player as opposed to the true culprit.

[jackhole]

[ he chews on his lip for a moment, considering. come on, alice, you're not working with him here. ]

Okay, then... can you make me a suspect every time Fiona's up for vote? I can do the rest. Would that work with your programming?
